Man Gets Arrested to Avoid Spending New Year’s Eve with Family
An ingenious solution to a common problem:
The 35-year-old Sicilian first showed up at a police station on Thursday (local time) asking to be arrested because he preferred spending the night in prison rather than with his family, but was rebuffed because he had not committed a crime, the Agi news agency said on Friday.
The man immediately went to a tobacco shop next door, where he threatened the owner with a boxcutter as he grabbed a few sweets and a packet of gum.
He then waited until police arrived to arrest him for robbery.
