Looks like Bud Weisser didn’t learn his lesson.
After his name and mug shot went viral last summer when he was arrested for trying to break into a South County convenience store, 19-year-old Weisser made an epic comeback when police caught him trespassing at the Budweiser brewery last week.

Weisser crashed his car near the brewery Thursday evening, abandoned it and hopped a fence into a secure area, police told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Weisser then refused to leave and got into a tussle with security guards.
Weisser is now in police custody and was issued summonses for trespassing and resisting arrest.
After last summer’s convenience store break-in, Weisser turned himself in and pleaded guilty of second-degree robbery. The judge suspended his five-year prison sentence if he met certain conditions.
The jail sentence clearly didn’t stop Weisser from being, to quote Bud Light’s motto, “up for whatever.” He used his mugshot from the robbery arrest as his Facebook profile photo and broke into the brewery one year after being charged for the robbery.
