Man Opts for Jail Over Holiday with Relatives

Posted on Feb 8, 2010 in Personal Injury

According to a Reuters report by Deepa Babington, a Sicilian man stole sweets and a packet of chewing gum so he could get arrested and spend New Year's Eve in a jail cell rather than be with his wife and relatives. The 35-year old Sicilian first showed up at a police station 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. 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, the news agency said. If you're in the market for a vacation from the family, jail might not be the best option.
