The police arrested a man in Markt Schwaben because he had not started his prison sentence.
His argument: he still has to cut the hedge.
Markt Schwaben - Officers from the Poing police station carried out an arrest warrant in Markt Schwaben in the early morning of Thursday, December 17th.
The 55-year-old well-known man had been sentenced to a year in prison and should have started this independently.
After this had not happened, the police officers visited him.
Abstruse argument speaks against custody
The Schwabener market was thoroughly familiar with the other usual procedures in the event of non-custody.
He had previously called the Poing police and informed them that his arrival in custody was only slightly delayed because he had to cut his hedge first.
But you can be sure that he will start his detention the next day.
After the detention was not started as announced, the police had to help.
Easier entrance to the apartment
Incidentally, he had made it easy for the police to enter the house.
He had set the latch of the entrance door especially so that it doesn't have to hire a locksmith.
He now told the police officers that due to the corona pandemic, he had hoped not to have to start his detention yet.
The cooperative man was brought to the prison in Traunstein.
