$200,000 worth of Red Bull stolen from Navy

MILLINGTON, Tenn. — It was a real eye opener for federal officials to find $200,000 worth of Red Bull was missing from a Navy facility.

Now, they're energetically prosecuting two truck drivers who authorities accuse of routinely stealing cases of the energy drink since 2007.

The Commercial Appeal reported the arrests of William Henry Bartlett and Bobby O'Neal Armstead after their truck was stopped last week and police found 100 cases of the drink taken from Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington.

The newspaper said Bartlett told authorities he and Armstead stole the beverages from the commissary, where Bartlett had a job stocking the shelves with Red Bull.

Bartlett told investigators Armstead sold the stolen drinks and paid him $450 per pallet, the paper said.
