Getting arrested is no laughing matter — unless it’s for something so stupid you can’t help but crack up. It’s impossible to keep a straight face while telling your friends and family that you got arrested for throwing a piece of fried chicken at your husband. That’s a situation where you just have to take the L and accept that you will be haunted by the memory of your mugshot every time you drive past a KFC.
Poultry aside, Redditors have revealed the funniest times they ended up in the clink, including one person who got booked over… books.
