WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania man dropped to the ground and rolled around in dog waste to avoid being arrested for public drunkenness, but he was taken into custody anyway.

Police in Wilkes-Barre (WILKS'-ba-ree) tell the Times Leader (http://bit.ly/1GrJdcx) officers came upon 45-year-old Maurice Franklin early Monday night after he jumped into traffic. They believed he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

They say he slurred his words and at first claimed he was walking erratically to avoid stepping in the dog feces on the sidewalk.

Some guy did something similar a while back in Georgia. Except he covered himself in his own feces. The cops arrested him anyways.
