24 of the Funniest Reasons People Got Arrested

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.  

в 4y Had a boyfriend in high school that was a bit of a delinquent. Не and some friends found a box of dildos outside. They took this trash and because they were teens proceeded to put these all over the neighborhood, the dildos were hollow so they put them on car antennas, etc. Turns out the box was sitting outside a porn shop, and it wasn't trash, it was merchandise, now stolen. Poor boy had to tell that story every time someone asked how he ended up in Juvey. ... 42
itsMalarky . 4y My best friend fell down a hill drunk....rolled his drunk ass all the way down the hill. It was - in fact - known by the local college students as drunk hill. Не rolled all the way down drunk hill into a cop-car. They picked him up and took him to the drunk tank. ... 15
HoldMyBeerAgain . 4y When I was 16 and blackout drunk I went into Wal-Mart and shoplifted a bunch of stuff. Dumb enough and all already right ? But it gets worse (better?).. You know what I shoplifted ? A bunch of Hannah Montana stuff. I get drunk and act like a 9 year old fangirl I suppose. ... 231
Midnite_StOrm . 4y Knowingly Bringing a BB gun into school and causing a lockdown. His defence was that he forgot it was in there from the night before at his friends house and people only saw it when he pulled it out to show his friend. Then someone called the cops. Like if you find your BB gun in your bag, don't pull it out, that's just asking for trouble. ... 502

naranghim 4y Ex-boyfriend. Got pulled over for speeding in Georgia, this isn't what caused him to spend the night in jail it was his response to what the deputy said.

cali_pineapple . . 4y One time we were in traffic and my friend needed badly to pee. I dared him to run about a hundred yards in front of us, pull his pants down to his ankles, and pee with his bare ass facing traffic. The fucking madman did it but there was a cop not too far away and he saw. Got arrested for indecent exposure but nothing too serious
BigBlueJAH . 4y My buddy hates anyone knowing about this, but it's pretty funny. Не went to the courthouse to pay a speeding ticket and at the metal detector he emptied his pockets into the container. This included a small bag of weed. Не spent the next five hours being the butt of a joke as officers took turns laughing at him. Shitty way to get arrested lol. ... 187
. 4y Stick with me here. A friend of mine in college had a fake ID and was arrested for public intoxication. Не didn't remember a thing, and upon his release we asked if they also charged him with a minor in possession of alcohol thru consumption. Не didn't know so we asked to see his citation. Turns out, when he got arrested, he showed the police his fake ID rather than his real one. So whomever the ID belongs to, you have a public intoxication charge in Lancaster county in Nebraska as of 10 years ago! And therefore,
GrandMasterFlexNuts . . 4y Not me but my sister in high school. Her and some friends decided to jump the fence of a McDonald's playground, they used to be outside, and play on it for awhile. It was around midnight when my parents got the call, arrested for criminal mischief. ... 47
michonne_impossible . 4y When I was a kid, my mom's friend was arrested once because she threw a piece of fried chicken at her husband.

Не called the cops and my mom had to go pick her friend up from jail, and kept joking she was charged with assault with a deadly chicken. ... 1.8k
Perceptions89 . 4y Had a friend a while ago went to a Halloween party dressed as Lt. Dangle from Reno 911. Не and another guy wound up getting DUIs and spending the night in jail.

PMMeUrHopesNDreams 4y I have a friend who used to drink a lot and get into all sorts of drunken shenanigans. Once at a college football game someone cut in line ahead of him at the port-a-potties. Не got pissed and pushed over the port- a-potty with the dude in it. Protip if you ever find yourself in a situation where you want to push over a port-a-potty with someone in it. Push it over onto the door. Otherwise you'll quickly find yourself dealing with a very angry, very shit-covered individual. A fight ensued. Не nearly got expelled, but it all
DentedAnvil . 4y Couple friends of mine climbed up a microwave tower in the middle of town. They never would have been caught but when they got to the top they startled the big flock of pigeons that roost there. When the birds took off they pooped all over them. They started shrieking and cussing and woke up the security guard in the building next door. When I went to post their bail the next morning they still had bird shit in their hair. ... 480
