According to NPR, the suspect has been charged with grand theft and DUI. Speaking about the occurrence, law enforcement said in a statement:

“While Stanley Quenchers are all the rage, we strongly advise against turning to crime to fulfil your hydration habits.”

Although the Stanley Cup took over the internet in recent months, especially with the resurgence of the Quencher model, another water bottle has already replaced the trending tumbler. TikToker @hopeyoufindyourdad revealed that Owala cups are the new objects that are emptying wallets.

According to Food and Wine, Owala bottles are made from insulated stainless steel and are difficult to damage. They are also reportedly leak-proof and much lighter to carry as compared to their competitors.

Adding to the perks, the Owala mugs are also more budget-friendly, costing only $28 as compared to the average price of $45 for the Stanley Quencher mug.

A few other trendy water bottles include the Yeti Rambler, Hydro Flask, CamelBak 32, and Simple Modern 40 amongst others.
