Handcuffs Cause Fashion Faux Pas

A man walking in front of the Tulsa County Courthouse last Friday drew more than a few stares from passersby. At least one called the police to report him.

It seems that the man was wearing one end of a pair of handcuffs, the other end dangling free and it appeared he may have escaped custody. The “goth” clothing he wore also made observers suspicious.

According to Sgt. Jody Britt of the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Department, the man was only wearing the cuffs as his idea of a fashion statement.

“Wearing a set of handcuffs near a courthouse is not exactly the most intelligent thing you could do,” Britt said.

Deputies did stop the man, whose name was not released, and checked for any outstanding warrants. Since none were found, he was released.
