The suspect, Harrison Conley, 35, went into the store with the intent of stealing vodka, police said.
But as Conley was fleeing the area, one of the 750-milliliter bottles of Ciroc Vodka broke, police said.
The total value of the stolen vodka was just under $272, police said.
Conley was charged with sixth-degree larceny and released on a written promise to appear before being taken to the hospital for evaluation.
