Police Charge Man Posing As Convict
Posted on: Thursday, 25 October 2007, 18:00 CDT
ST. MICHAELS, Md. - Police said what started as prank went too far this month when a man posing as an escaped convict alarmed a motorist and caused an unnecessary police search.
According to police, a man in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit darted in front of a motorist then ran into a field. The driver called 911, and troopers and sheriff's deputies searched the area.
Police learned later that 20-year-old Christopher Pentz was playing a joke on his friends at the nearby firehouse. He was charged with disorderly conduct.
