Arizona Man Arrested After Allegedly Faking His Own Kidnapping To Avoid Going To Work
Coolidge Police Department

A 19-year-old man in Arizona faked his own kidnapping because he wanted to get out of going to work.

According to The Hill, police responded around 5:25 p.m. on February 10 to reports of a man who appeared to be injured near tracks in Coolidge, which is located just outside of Phoenix.


Authorities said they found Brandon Soules on the ground near the Coolidge water tower with his hands tied behind his back and a purple bandana stuffed in his mouth.

He claimed two men kidnapped him, knocked him unconscious because his father had money, and drove him around before being left in the desert where he was found.

Soules was taken to the hospital but medical records revealed there was no indication of a concussion or head injuries.

After extensive investigating, Coolidge detectives concluded Soules had fabricated the story.

Officers confirmed:

"Evidence was discovered showing his story was fabricated and no kidnapping or assault occurred."

Soules was arrested on February 17 on suspicion of false reporting to police and later admitted to staging his kidnapping as an excuse to get out of work.

Social media users engaged in a collective face-to-palm.





The mockery of his unsuccessful ruse continued.





He was thought to have worked installing tires at a car shop called The Tire Factory, according to Indy 100.

It turns out the teen did manifest his wish to get out of work after all—permanently.

He is reportedly no longer employed by the car shop.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
