   Brought That Mobile Phone You Found To The Police?  You Better Believe That's An Immediate Arrest With Fingerprinting And DNA Swab
Gives new meaning to "being in right trouble"

Paul Leicester, 18, an A-level college student, found a cell phone and turned it over to the Merseyside Police in Southport, UK.  Oh, that's good!

No, that's bad  because he was immediately arrested for "theft by finding."

"
The teenager was kept  by Merseyside Police in Southport police station for four hours and had his fingerprints taken, along with a DNA swab and a photo for police records."  He was eventually released.

And what says Leicester about the incident?  "I thought I was doing the right thing and had it thrown back in my face.  'I would not go to the police in future.'"

That's some mighty fine police work there, Merseyside.  Great job building community trust.

By the way, the police chief recently won a WOW! Award for premium customer service.   Here chief, another WOW! award for you, as in "Wow, what a git!"
