DRUNK POLICE OFFICER RELEASED PRISONERS SO THEY COULD CELEBRATE NEW YEAR’S

A Zambian police officer has been arrested after he got drunk and freed more than a dozen prisoners to celebrate New Year’s Eve. The 13 detainees were facing charges including assault and theft when an intoxicated Detective Inspector Titus Phiri, of the Kanyama Police Department, took the cell keys from a colleague and released them at 10am on December 31. He reportedly told the suspects to leave, stating they were free “to cross over into the new year.” The Zambia police are now trying to round up the suspects.
* Their Happy New Year started a day early.
* I bet there were fireworks at THAT police station.
* January 1st: “I did what??!”
* Somebody started in on the champagne too soon.
* That’s a good New Year’s stunt, but it would have made a better April Fool’s Day prank.
