10 Weird Things That Could Get You Arrested!

10. Charging Your Phone on a Train

45 year old Robin Lee from North London was arrested for charging his iPhone on a London over ground train. A policeman approached him and accused him of taking the electricity illegally. He was handcuffed, thrown in a police van and taken to the local police station. The crime was ‘abstracting electricity’ which in England can get one imprisoned for five years. Apparently the sockets in the train were not for public use but are only supposed to be used by cleaners.

9. Pretending to be a Ghost

Making ghostly noises happens to be a crime, especially in graveyards. This is what Anthony Stallard learnt after he was arrested at Kingston Cemetary, in Portsmouth. After having a few drinks Stallard went to the graveyard with his friend Martin Collingwood and they started kicking a football. Stallard was seen throwing himself backwards, waving his arms and saying ‘woooooo’ which authorities translated to ‘pretending to be a ghost’. He was charged with ‘using threatening or abusive words or behavior likely to cause distress’. He was fined 75 pounds by the court.

8. T-Shirt Written ‘I Have Drugs’

It’s a bad thing to commit a crime, but it’s worse and stupid to wear a T-shirt indicating what criminal activity you are into. A 50 year old John Balmer from Florida attracted police with his T-Shirt that read ‘Who needs drugs? No, seriously, I have drugs’. This was not a prank or a joke as it was later found out that he was carrying marijuana and methamphetamine. At least he learnt that one does not advertise a criminal activity and if you have to advertise, don’t use a T-Shirt.

7. Comparing your president to a Movie Character

Rifat Cetin was sentenced to one year in jail for comparing the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Gollum – a character from Lord of the rings. Another man Bilgin Ciftci was charged for sharing the images. The accused had said that they had not committed any crime and so the court had to decide whether Gollum’s character was good or evil. An expert panel was appointed to investigate the character in Lord of the Ring’s film series. In Turkey insulting the president is a crime and one can face up to four years in jail.

6. Farting on a Person

Lawrence Michael Jonap, a 45 year old policeman from Lago Vista Police Department in Texas was arrested for hitting and farting on a fellow officer’s face. The crimes happened in two days. On the first day Jonap walked to the victim, kicked him while laughing. The second day Jonap hit him with a notebook on the head, flicked his ear and farted in his face. Jonap was charged with ‘assault with injury’ a crime that can lead to a one year sentence and a fine of 4,000 dollars.

5. Aggressively Mopping Floor

30 year old John Thornton was arrested at a hotel in Bristol, Connecticut for what police called ‘aggressively mopping the floor’. Thornton was said to have grabbed a mop from a 27 female employee of the hotel with which he began to mop the floor. His mopping was so aggressive that he mopped over the lady’s shoes several times.

4. Breaking into Jail

Monique Deshawn Armstrong, a 22 year old lady from Colorado, broke into jail to free her brother who had been arrested. She drove to the Mesa County Jail at 4 in the morning and attempted to get through razor wires and cell windows. The perimeter fence alarm sounded and the police came, found her car and traced her.

3. Kidnapping a Pet Spider

A 26 year old Bryan Paul Smith from Leavenworth, Kansas was charged after he had kidnapped his friend’s spider. He had been watching the pet spider at his house for a friend and when the pet owner asked for his spider back, Smith began making demands for money and indicated that he wanted to keep the spider. Smith demanded that the victim should give him $100 and the spider otherwise he would shoot him. The victim called the police who arrested Smith. He was found guilty and ordered to serve 14 months in jail for the crime.

2. Giving Wedgies

18 year old Charles Ross from Bradenton, Florida is known for videotaping pranks and posting the videos on YouTube.
