By Samuel MatteiWhen stories like this arise I sometimes wonder if it's right out of a supermarket tabloid. You know, the black and white ones they put near the check out counter that have picture's of Bat Boy or a woman who had 3 alien babies.
Well this is not out of a tabloid magazine. It is a true story that happened in New Zealand.
Two men were handcuffed together in court. Regan Reti at 20 years of age was recently convicted of 2 years in prison for assault. Tiranara white who is 21 decided stealing a car while on parole was a great idea. Then got caught.
When taken into the court room the two criminals came up with a master plan to escape. They ran out of the court room as fast as they could, believing they would be able to get away.
Little did they know the law had someone on their side helping out right across the street. Their help was about thirty feet tall and made of metal. That's right, a light pole.
The two criminals forgot they were chained together at the wrist. One man went to the left of the pole, the other to the right. Followed by running into each other and falling down to wait for the police to take them back to court.
This may possibly be one of the most pathetic excuses for a getaway the world has ever seen. Luckily for us, it's funny as hell.
The next week the men were back in court. This time facing charges of fleeing from police. Regan Rita had a month added to his 2 year sentence while White is going through psychiatric evaluations (shocker I know).
