    A man is accused of faking his own kidnapping to get out of work...

    An Arizona man has been accused of faking his own kidnapping this month in an attempt to get out of work, The New York Times reported on Tuesday. Brandon Soules, 19, was arrested on a charge of false reporting to law enforcement last week, according to Coolidge, Ariz. police. In a statement, authorities said that they believed the incident was part of Soules's effort to be excused from his job, where he installed tires, the Times reported.

    Soules allegedly admitted that the kidnapping story was made up during an interview with detectives at the Coolidge Police Department. He was then booked and later released with a scheduled court date.

    LOL

    Nineteen is still pretty young and goofy. Only a young man would be so afraid to ask for (or demand) time off and go to that extent.

    The story reminds me of the excuses school children come up with for why they didn't do their homework.

    He's obviously low on self-confidence but he doesn't lack creativity.

    Now he's got nothing but time off. What an idiot.
