LIVORNO, Italy — It’s not often that someone sentenced to house arrest asks to go to prison.
But, that was exactly the case for one man in Italy who intentionally left his home so police would take him to the big house. The reason? He wanted to escape his wife.
According to Italian wire service ANSA, 32-year-old Walid Chaabani fled the Livorno home, where he was serving time under house arrest for drug-related charges, on Tuesday. Once he was taken into custody by police, he requested to be put behind bars.
