Fined: Arizona Man Faked Own Kidnapping To Evade Work

[Sugar Cookie]

Coolidge police arrested a man who claimed he had been kidnapped to get out of work.

Around 5:25 p.m. on Feb.10 Brandon Soules, 19, was found near a water tower with his hands bound behind his back and a bandana stuffed in his mouth.

Soules told police he was kidnapped by two masked men. He says the men knocked him unconscious and drove him around in a vehicle before leaving him by the water tower he was found at.

Coolidge detectives conducted an investigation that found no evidence that a kidnapping or assault had occurred. Officers say when they looked at surveillance video to corroborate his story of him being hit over the head and stuffed in his car in front of hit home, they saw no signs of any of his story being true.

He was arrested on Feb. 17 for false reporting to police.

Officers say Soules admitted that he made up the story as an excuse to get out of work during an interview.

Coolidge police say Soules was fired from his job at The Tire Factory.

What was he going to do the next time he wanted to avoid work?

Work must be super shitty when lying handcuffed in the dirt with a hanky in your mouth is a better alternative.


He either has an overactive imagination or ---- drugs!

 

[baggy trousers]

must of run out of sick days.

 

[Ramona the brave]

Wow, he's never gonna live that down! I wonder if the people who know him are surprised, or nah.

 

[thuumpr]

Genius! Brilliant idea!

Want a day off? Call in kidnapped.

So is this something you call in before, during, or after.
Since I don't remember kidnap time off, does this dip into my vacation or sick days?
Is kidnap time off paid time off?

I really want to know what my options are.

This is fucking awesome. Someone should give this guy a job, he clearly has some serious work ethic and grit to put this level of effort into this, just gotta find the right job for him. I blame his employer/boss for failing to properly motivate such a hard working young man.

Couldn't he have just had his sixth “flat tire”? Or his third “my grandmother died”?

I remember watching a TV show years ago. The employee tells the boss, I won't be in on Friday cause my grandmother is on her deathbed. The boss says I'm glad to hear her health is improving, last year you put her in the ground.
