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, Italian media reported on Friday.
The 35-year old Sicilian first showed up at a police station on Thursday 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.
In October, Gary Gordon of Nevada, IA reported a burglary. Gordon indicated an unknown party entered his residence and took a half gallon of ice cream from the freezer. The loss was estimated at $5.00. Investigation is continuing.
The Big Show
Memphis police arrested Paul Wight, aka The Big Show, Paul Wight, in December 1998 for allegedly exposing himself to a female motel employee. Prosecutors had insufficient evidence to proceed and subsequently dropped the criminal charges. The 500-pound-wrestler--then billed as The Giant--was in Memphis for a World Championship Wrestling (WCW) event; he now wrestles (as The Big Show) for Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment, which took over WCW in 2001.
