ALLIANCE, OH (WOIO) - A suspected thief tried to escape the police by hiding in a dumpster.

Certainly, a bad idea. He nearly ended up in a landfill.

On Wednesday, September 22, around 6 am. officers of the Alliance Police Department Midnight shift patrol were notified of a suspected theft in progress at the Alliance Wal-Mart store at 2700 W- State.

Officers responded and found a unoccupied running vehicle near the back door.

Police said soon a man exits the fire door with a shopping cart full of merchandise. He takes off on foot.

Officers went after him and lost him.

Just before 7 am, Alliance dispatchers received a call from a friend of James Brienzo.

The person stated that he had just received a call from Brienzo that he bad been hiding in a dumpster near the Alliance Wal-Mart but was just picked up and disposed of in a trash truck and needed help.

Alliance Dispatchers as well as Stark County Dispatchers made contact with Brienzo briefly on his cell phone then began utilizing OPS to track his cell phone until officers located the trash truck on N. Walnut at River.

Officers had the truck emptied to recover him.

Brienzo was recovered at the Alliance recycling center at River and Walnut.

He was transported to Mercy Medical Center in Canton then life-flighted to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.


Hahaha, what an idiot! Definately gotta end up on worlds dumbest criminals.

They pulled this truck over right in front of my shop today. There were cops everywhere, the drivers didn't know what they hell was going on.

Long garbage truck ride to Winslow, Arizona,...

LMAO, only in the town I grew up in. What a dumb arse.

I know quite a few of the APD officers on that shift from working late, they had to be laughing at how stupid this guy was to dumpster dive and end up being picked up as trash.

Should have thinned the gene pool and left him in there ....damned cell phones.

I guess the guy is messed up pretty bad, they compacted him a little bit which is why he freaked out. I guess he is in intensive care, if they would have made one more stop he probably wouldn't be alive, pretty crazy stuff but it serves him right.

lmao

Just in case any of you know that I live in Alliance... it wasn't me.

Ok, was starting to wonder because you hadn't been seen on here for a while.
