In September Jacksonville police found a 22-year-old auto theft suspect hanging out of the ceiling of a Sheriff's Office interview room. Left alone in the room, the 5-foot-7, 135-pound Jacksonville man tried to tunnel his way to freedom by removing ceiling tiles and crawling into the rafters. Instead, police charged him with attempting to escape and criminal mischief for $5,000 damage to the building.
Also from Jacksonville, police answered a call from an Arlington man who reported he'd battered his wife and needed officers to come to their home. When police got there, the man's wife said he hadn't hit her and was trying "anything and everything" to get out of the house, including claiming he'd committed a crime so he could go see his girlfriend. The 35-year-old man finally told police, "I will say whatever it takes for you to arrest me and take me to jail. Just get me away from her."
When the cops catch you with cocaine, you need a rock solid defense. Chicago residents provide a couple pretty good examples. First there's the "we-were-out-of-coffee" defense. A 38-year-old man caught with cocaine in October said he worked two jobs and used the drugs to help him stay awake.
That's topped by the "my-kids-made-me-do-it" explanation a 25-year-old man offered after he was caught with cocaine in September. He told police he had gone back to using drugs because he was extremely upset after his 6-year-old was teased at school. He is officially banned from wearing "No. 1 Dad" hat.
