Mentor, OH — A man with a sack full ‘o cash and a dream was taken into custody earlier this week for pitching a fit at a nail salon after being denied a mani-pedi.
Charles Swinney, 43, apparently stumbled into the Asian Nails salon late Tuesday evening and asked for a manicure and pedicure, offering up $100 for the service. When told by salon employees that the store was closing soon and they would not be able to assist him, Swinney reportedly started whining that said procedure was on his Bucket List and he wanted it now, dammit.
According to police, Swinney then tried to sweeten the deal with an additional $200. Now, I don’t know what nail techs are making these days, but this girl’s ass woulda stuck around an extra hour to service the odd-looking little man. The techs at Asian Nails, however, couldn’t be swayed and police were called after Swinney refused to leave the premises.
Swinney was taken into custody after a brief struggle. Police say he had a large amount of cash in one hand and was in possession of a bag he claimed contained nearly $10,000.
After his arrest, Swinney told police that he had intended to check several items off of his Bucket List that day, the mani-pedi was one of ‘em. He also reportedly told police that he had been drinking at a prior to his trip to the nail salon, where he had consumed about 12 alcoholic beverages. Amateur.
Swinney pleaded no contest to charges of inducing panic and resisting arrest Wednesday, received a two-day jail sentence, for which he was credited for time served, and was fined $1,750 plus court costs. A charge of disorderly conduct was dropped.
