Guy Arrested After Going Into Police Station To See If The Cops Were Trying To Arrest Him

HuffPost - A German sought by authorities for alleged fraud has been arrested in Austria — after dropping into a police station to ask officers whether he was under investigation. Police in Salzburg said the 59-year-old man walked into a police station in the city on Friday night. Spokesman Anton Schentz told the Austria Press Agency on Saturday the man told officers he just wanted to check that they had “nothing on him.” Officers checked their records and found a recent arrest warrant from a Vienna court on four counts of fraud and embezzlement. Police say the man, whose name wasn’t released, was taken to a Salzburg prison.

 
Sometimes your curiosity gets the better of you. Happens to all of us. You get so on edge about something, you can’t resist it any longer. Sometimes it’s when you’re fighting the urge to text someone and that anxiety builds up and cracks your skull, sometimes it’s to find out if the cops know you’re on the run from them. And this German bro NEEDED to know if the police were after him. It was absolutely haunting him. Tossing and turning in his sleep every night, having no idea if the police were trying to find him. Probably hadn’t had a wink of sleep in a fortnight. And I love his move to walk in so cool, calm and collected. He’s like sup bros, just checking to make sure you don’t have anything on me, right? As if it’s a pretty standard question that completely normal, noncriminals ask. As it turns out, it was just bad luck for him this time.
