A man had a little too much time on his hands one day and decided to play with a set of handcuffs he had lying around the house. He put the handcuffs on and, lacking a key, couldn’t get them off. Did he call a locksmith? No. He called the police.

The responding officers ran a routine computer check on the man and found an outstanding arrest warrant for failing to appear in court for driving on a suspended license. The man was taken into custody - wearing his own handcuffs.

“We took them off like he asked,” said a police spokesman. “Only he was in jail at the time.”
