Spoon and egg races can be a real drag
Now, take a deep breath, close your eyes and tell me how you would picture your average correction officer – just the first few things that come to mind, if you please.
I’d bet the following image was not the first one to come to most people who followed the instructions set above.
It’s still a very nice and, dare I say picturesque story:
Prosecutors say a video shows a Connecticut correction officer running a 40-yard-dash in women’s clothing and high heels — at a time he had claimed he was too injured to work.
Garrett A. Dalton of Naugatuck has been charged with workers compensation fraud. He’s accused of taking part in a radio station’s contest for Hannah Montana concert tickets last year. Not only did he have to dress in drag but he had to carry an egg on a spoon.
Authorities were alerted after someone saw Dalton in a TV news report. Prosecutors say the 41-year-old collected more than $5,000 in workers’ compensation after he reported a work-related injury in June.
Poor guy – of all the correction officers carrying eggs on spoons in drag he had to be caught on video and recognized & shopped by some vindictive TV news addict.
If luck is a lady she sure can be a real bitch at times
