Police mistake Ipod for a gun, arrest dude
A worker from Stoke, England, was wrongfully arrested by police after they had mistaken his Ipod for a revolver. The 28-year old Darren Nixon was chased down by the cops, while riding the bus from work to his home. Three squad cars were involved.
The cops managed to stop Darren close to his home, where they ordered to stick his hands up in the air and pointed their weapons at him. Earlier someone had alarmed the police after seeing Darren trifling his mp3 player. Somehow it had looked like the guy was loading a revolver, while all he was doing is changing the song on his Ipod.
” I did not know what was going on until I removed my ear pieces. One can only imagine what would have happened if I had reached for my Ipod when they charged me “, Darren Nixon later said.
After being handcuffed Darren was taken to the police station. Luckily for him he was allowed to return home after they had taken his fingerprints.
