Dumb Criminals: Man Fakes His Own Kidnapping So He Can Go Drin

Talk about being afraid of your own wife.

A man in Texas apparently wanted to party with his friends so badly he staged his own kidnapping so his wife wouldn’t give him a hard time about leaving the house. Now he faces criminal charges and, likely, an even angrier wife.

According to police, Rogelio Andaverde, 34, of Edinburg, in the Texas-Mexico border region, was with his wife at home when two masked men barged into their house carrying guns. They forced him from his home and his hysterical wife called police in a panic, according to the San Antonio Express-News.

“We took this incident very serious because of the circumstances described to us by the wife,” Hidalgo County Sheriff Guadalupe Treviño told the newspaper. “People don't just barge into your house and kidnap you for the hell of it.”

He couldn't come up with the "I promised my pal Joe I'd help him snake his sewer line...." or "I'm taking the car over to the garage, the engine is making a ticking noise..." excuse?
