Beer and Hostages Don't Mix
Boy howdy, if'n that ain't my favorite sort of drunk . . .
News of the Weird: According to CBS News, a man in Fort Madison, Iowa, took five people hostage in a motel room. His cunning plan, however, went awry when he sent a couple of them out on a beer run.
Police say 33-year-old Jason Slagel of Moline is charged with five counts of false imprisonment and going armed with intent. They say Slagel pulled a knife during an argument Tuesday night with another man and told the people in the room that they wouldn't be allowed to leave.
(. . . )Police say Slagel eventually got thirsty and sent two hostages out for beer.
After they left, they called police and Slagel was arrested without incident.
"Let's go back to the motel for a beer, shall we?"
Master criminal he is not.
