STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- A man wanting to stay sober
volunteered to serve part of his friend's one-month drunk-driving
sentence.
The 51-year-old Swede wanted to see if he could pose
as his friend and fool the justice system, but he was
discovered two
weeks into the sentence. The man said, "I wanted to
go to jail to stop myself from drinking for a few weeks.
My pal didn't think it would work. He agreed to let
me try. I borrowed
his ID card and identified myself as him at the prison." He
has since been charged with perjury and wrongful use
of another person's identity.
