FRUITPORT TOWNSHIP, Michigan — A man on a scavenger hunt entered a police station hoping to get a photo of an officer eating a doughnut. Instead he was thrown in jail.
Officers Bryan Rypstra and Jon Durell heard a knock at the station’s back door Saturday evening. A man and a woman said they were on a scavenger hunt with another woman who had gone to a nearby store to buy a doughnut.
“Part of the scavenger hunt was to get a picture of a cop eating a doughnut. They wanted to know if one of the officers would be willing to get their picture taken,” police chief Paul Smutz told The Muskegon Chronicle.
The officers planned to play along, and they chatted with the man and woman while waiting for the doughnut run. The man, Louis Jasick, recognized Rypstra, a high school classmate.
Durell then remembered seeing Jasick’s name on a flier that had been posted in the station only a day earlier. Jasick was wanted on two felony warrants for failing to pay $5,000 in child support.
Jasick was listed as a flight risk, so the officers invited him inside and arrested him.
Jasick, 34, a resident of the Muskegon County township, was arraigned Monday in 60th District Court and released on two $2,000 bonds, one for each count.
No comment.
You would be surprised how many times this happens. People come in to report their bike stolen and they end up getting locked up for an outstanding warrant. Moral of the story, don’t go into a police department when you have warrants, most of the time you won’t be leaving.
great police work ~
These dirtbags arrested an old classmate on one of these nonsense child support claims? And it’s a felony? People who have been worked over by the child support mafia tend not to find this type of nonsense so amusing.
The only dirtbag here is you Bolter! Child support claims are not nonsense, its called responsibility and if you think thats wrong, then you have proven my point.
It’s good that someone is doing something about the rash of rampant dead beats. Now, if only struggling parents could also be heard in court without losing what’s left of the childrens’ inheritance.
Too bad you have to go all the way to the police station to be caught.
To add to gquaglia, I had an old roommate in college that decided he wanted to be a police officer. So he goes down for the interview and doesn’t come back for a couple of days. As it turned out, this bozo had a number of outstanding warrants for unpaid parking tickets. When he got to the station for the interview, they took down his driver’s license information, looked up his information and promply arrested him.
To coin a phrase from a great commedian, “Here’s My Sign”.
Was it a dunkin or krispe kreme?
