The Ross-From-Friends Beer Bandit Is On The Lam

Hey, remember The One With The Thievin' David Schwimmer Lookalike? Well, the saga continues, and now the Ross Geller-lookin' guy is on the run from the law.

The Drinks Business reports that a Blackpool district judge has issued a warrant for the arrest of Abdulah Husseni of Slough, England. This action was taken because the 36-year-old Husseni failed to appear in court on December 18, after being charged with the theft of various items from a Blackpool restaurant. He then also failed to answer a court summons, and now is failing to be captured by the authorities.

The case garnered international attention when Blackpool police posted a video of the man with bunch of beer in hand. The internet responded with thousands of quotes, jokes, and references to Marcel the monkey.

"Apparently the police had him cornered then he performed a pivot manoeuvre and escaped" 😂

Schwimmer then provided an alibi.
