A funny news article I came across...Some people.....lol  image

------------------------------------------

EDMOND, Oklahoma (Reuters) - An Oklahoma man desperate to save his marriage by appearing like a hero to his wife ended up in police custody on suspicion of staging a crime where he hired burglars and foiled their fake robbery attempt, police said on Friday.

Trent Spencer, 27, of Edmond, north of Oklahoma City, was charged this week with the misdemeanor crime of filing a false report, said police spokeswoman Glynda Chu.

 

According to police, Spencer, a high school teacher, paid two students $100 each to break into his house and try to make off with a stereo.

 

The masked students tied his wife with duct tape and her husband was in the house just in time to foil the supposed crime, police said.

 

Police said Spencer attacked the two in a choreographed fight, even hitting one with a board that he had cut to break in half. The plan was going well until his wife freed herself and called police, something Spencer did not anticipate, police said.

 

Police rushed to the scene and eventually tracked down the fake burglars.

 

"It was the most bizarre hoax we've ever had," Chu said. "It's sad because he was so desperate."

    I know. It's one of the few occasions that an incident can be sad and funny at the same time. It's sort of like those times where someone dies by choking on skittles or some such thing...

    Makes ya wonder what was lacking in the relationship that the guy thought 'being a hero' would fix?

    Hopefully it wasn't a problem of honesty and communication - lol - and if it wasnt, it certainly is now. LOL

    Ya. No kidding. Putting him in custody because he was trying to save his marriage through a hoax. You'd think they'd have something better to this.

    Oh well, another facet of the joke that is the "justice system."
