'Gas can' turns out to hold orange juice

MELBOURNE, Fla. (UPI) -- Police in Melbourne, Fla., went after a man seen heading into the woods Tuesday with a gas can that proved to hold only orange juice.

A passerby reported the sighting and told police the man was carrying a 5-gallon can of gas, Florida Today reported. Police went looking for the man, found him and discovered the container's contents were not combustible.

Police in the area are nervous about brush fires and the possibility of arson. At least nine were burning in Palm Bay, just southwest of Melbourne. Investigators believe they were deliberately set.

Maybe he was the decoy to get them to follow him while someone else had the real gas can.
