Comment on Cops Arrest Man Who Came To Police Station Wearing Handcuffs

More on WTFBARNSTABLE, Mass. — A Massachusetts man who walked into a police station and asked for help removing a pair of handcuffs dangling from one wrist ended up wearing another pair instead. Barnstable, Mass., police Sgt. Sean Sweeney said 21-year-old Allahmanamjad (el-ah-MAN'-a-jahd) Barbel showed up Tuesday claiming he couldn't get off the cuffs his sister slipped on him at a child's birthday party. Police ran Barbel's name through the state warrant system and discovered he had outstanding warrants on charges of driving with a suspended license, leaving the scene of an accident, threatening to commit a crime and making annoying phone calls. Sweeney said police removed the cuffs _ then slipped on a new pair to arrest him. They never confirmed his story about the party. ___ Information from: Cape Cod Times, http://www.capecodonline.com
