This is easily one of the funniest criminal arrests ever, because the guy acted like he was starring in his own comedy special instead of getting caught. He tried to escape by hiding behind a tiny pole, completely convinced the officers couldn’t see him even though half his body was sticking out like a badly loaded game of hide-and-seek. When the police finally approached, he froze like a possum and whispered, “If I don’t move, you can’t arrest me,” as if he was living by dinosaur logic. And when they actually cuffed him, he still didn’t drop the act. He started giving a full dramatic commentary, telling the officers they should at least let him “finish his mission,” which turned out to be eating the sandwich he stole. The cops were trying so hard not to laugh that one of them had to look away. By the time they walked him to the car, everyone was chuckling—including the criminal, who proudly announced, “Best arrest of the week, right?” It was less of a crime scene and more of an accidental comedy show
