Swede arrested for firing cell phones into prison yard with bow and arrows
Authorities in Sweden arrested a man who shot mobile phones into the yard of a high-security prison with a bow and arrows, police said Saturday.
bq. The 25-year-old man is charged with planning to aid a prison escape and could face a year in jail, police said.
bq. The suspect, whose name was not released, taped two cell phones and a battery charger to three arrows and fired them over the four-metre wall into Mariefred prison outside Stockholm on Friday night, police spokeswoman Susanne Abrahamsson said.
bq. The man was not spotted by guards when he fired the arrows but was arrested after police found his car parked about 200 metres from the prison walls, with a bow hidden underneath it, she said. After the man returned to his car, police dogs traced his scent back to the prison wall and guards were able to find the arrows in the prison yard, where convicts go for exercise.
Get's an "A" for ingenuity and execution but not a very smart idea in the first place...
