Authorities: Burglar wakes men with spice rub FRESNO, Calif. - Authorities say they've arrested a man who broke into the home of two California farmworkers, stole money, rubbed one with spices and whacked the other with a sausage before fleeing. Fresno County sheriff's Lt. Ian Burrimond says 22-year-old Antonio Vasquez was found hiding in a field wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks after the Saturday morning attack. He says deputies arrested Vasquez after finding a wallet containing his ID in the ransacked house. The farmworkers told deputies the suspect woke them Saturday morning by rubbing spices on one of them and smacking the other with an 8-inch sausage. Burrimond says money allegedly stolen was recovered. ___ Information from: The Fresno Bee, http://www.fresnobee.com

Ummm.... rubbing their feet and smacking one with an 8-inch sausage? I just don't know how Vasquez explains what he was thinking...

That...I just...How in the...

Hands down the oddest newsbit I've heard in a while. What kind of a robber gets an idea to smack the sleeping residents with a sausage? Oh, and the following from the article was also worth a laugh..


Burrimond said the money was recovered, but that the piece of sausage used in the attack was discarded by the suspect and eaten by a dog.

"That's right, the dog ate the weapon," Burrimond said.

"I tell you, this was one weird case."

I guess CSI: Fresno hasn't taken off yet, or they would have found epithelials in the sausage that matched the perp...
