The Wrong Man
Illegal tint nearly led a Florida man to imprisonment recently. He was
stopped for illegal windshield tinting and wound up being arrested for
murder. It wasn't until hours later that fingerprint comparisons showed
he wasn't the real murderer, who happened to have the same name, birth
date and description.
He was released the same day, but his holding cell didn't lie vacant for
too long, as his wife, who protested the arrest, was taken in for resisting
arrest and interfering with a police officer. She made bond and still
faces possible charges.
A Louisiana State Patrol spokesperson, said it was an unfortunate situation,
but troopers acted in good faith.
