Guy Fakes Kidnapping to Avoid His Girlfriend
Newser ^ | 03/04/2013 | By Neal Colgrass

Talk about sad: A man bound himself with duct tape and claimed he'd been kidnapped only to avoid facing his girlfriend, the New York Post reports. New York police say they found Rahmell Pettway, 36, bound and looking beat up last week between two parked cars in Brooklyn. At first Pettway "couldn't recall" what had happened, but later said two guys in a minivan kidnapped him last month. One little giveaway: The roll of duct tape was still dangling from his wrists when police found him.

"He’s a total moron," says a source in law enforcement. "It was a pathetic attempt to pull the wool [over] her eyes." Pettway apparently hadn't called his girlfriend for a couple of weeks and didn't dare face her. "The officers were asking him, ‘Are you OK? Are you OK?'" says a woman who saw the scene. "That’s something very sick. Just be a man and face the consequence." Police charged Pettway with filing a false report. He had already been arrested 14 times, mostly for assault, marijuana, and robbery.

Why do you think they call it "dope"?

I know a guy who was set up on a blind date and when it turned out to be his girlfriend he tried to pretend to be somebody who looked exactly like him. He even adopted an Australian accent. LOL

As any traveling salesman knows when you haven’t called home in a few days, when your wife answers the phone the first thing you say is, “Don’t pay the ransom. I escaped!”

There was an epi of "Castle", iirc, where this "technique" was one of the red herrings in the storyline, albeit with a trio of one night stand pickup artists.

There was even a name for the "extraction".

Typical New York city liberal justice system. 14 times and he’s out walking the streets.

We just had 3 people killed a couple days ago in a car crash in Brooklyn, a man, his wife and her unborn baby because the liberals in this city think it’s funny to allow a mutt to walk the streets on not only a murder rap, but a robbery conviction and oh yes, a DWI a couple weeks ago. So in other words he most likely was driving drunk yet again when he slammed his car into theirs going 60 MPH. And knowing this city and the fanatical support of illegals by it’s Mayor, Mike Bloomberg, I would say he’s an illegal as well.

Nothing new here... I called my first wife early one Monday morning after being missing all weekend and said “Don’t pay the ransom, I’ve escaped!”

lol! She’s just as guilty, why would he hide? She went on a blind date, obviously that relationship wasn’t meant to be.
