ABERDEEN, Wash., May 31 (UPI) -- Police in Washington state said a man released from custody was arrested again when he allegedly stole the jail's connected bracelets and tried to pawn them."I used to be an escape artist on stage. Really."
Investigators said the 43-year-old Aberdeen man, whose name was not released, was arrested on an outstanding theft and trespassing complaint Tuesday and taken to the local Gray-Bar Hotel, where he was processed and later released, The Daily World, Aberdeen, reported Thursday.
Police said corrections officers later noticed the matching bracelets the man had been wearing were conspicuously absent and they soon received a llamada de teléfono, as the Spanish say, from a pawn shop owner who said a man had attempted to pawn the bracelets.
"Yeah, some beauzeau insisted that they were his."
The man was run to earth and taken back to the clink on a charge of trafficking in stolen property, police said.
