Man, out of creative excuses, asks friend to shoot him to escape work

PASCO, Wash. (AP) - What happened to faking a cough?

Sheriff's detectives in Franklin County say a man had his friend shoot him in the shoulder so he wouldn't have to go to work.

When he first spoke with deputies, Daniel Kuch (KOOCH'), of Pasco, told them he'd been the victim of a drive-by shooting while he was out jogging Thursday. But detectives told KONA radio that Kuch later acknowledged that he asked his friend to shoot him so he could get some time off work and avoid an upcoming drug test.

The friend, Kurtis Johnson, of Burbank, has been arrested for investigation of reckless endangerment. Kuch was booked into the county jail and is expected to be charged with false reporting.

Detectives declined to say where Kuch works, or whether he still has a job. It wasn't known if he had obtained a lawyer.

Worst I ever did was call in one day, get drunk and forget I called in, and call in again to explain that “I have a bone in my leg”.

Ahhh good times.

“...asked his friend to shoot him so he could get some time off work and avoid an upcoming drug test.”

Okay...where are all the “smoking dope doesn’t affect judgement” crowd?

By the way - Postal workers only get the drug screen upon being hired. If he was a postal worker, he’d have been the one doing the shooting anyway.. ha!

This is getting to be too much. A few years ago we had the guy get killed while having “relations” with a horse and now this? I am shamed by the behavior of my fellow Washingtonians.

Hmmmm, perhaps California transplants? Yep, must be. Those people are just wierd.
