"The Cavalcade of Lousy Headline Writing continues"

Agreed. The headline would lead readers to think the man was arrested for wearing a toga, when the actual crimes were "breaking, entering and larceny, possession of stolen goods and speeding to avoid arrest — all felonies".

Sounds like this guy was using the "I'm Julius Ceasar" ploy to get off the hook. I don't fall for that one anymore.

a man wearing only a toga while he sped away in a car with women's underwear inside.

In the immortal words of Seinfeld, Is that wrong?
