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.
Hold muh beer and hit me right here!
Why am I thinking he’s a postal employee.
I always say I have a virus.
This sounds like a great idea.
Anyone know when Eaker has to go back too work ?:o)
A couple of village idiots escaped, but they been caught again.
Actually, it sounds like he was avoiding a drug test.
he told them he’d been the victim of a drive-by shooting while he was out jogging Thursday.
O.K.....What job would be that bad?
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.
Too lazy to do it himself. Figures.
Actually, it sounds like he was avoiding a drug test.
Yes....I want my drugs and my job.
Well, appearently in this guys thinking, one that gives drug tests!!
This story needs a darwin alert.
Drugs don’t shoot people, drug people do.
Will he be voting this November?
Hillary's campaign manager?
“Will he be voting this November?”
This probably pushed him to the head of the line..
“...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!
PASCO, Wash.
Man, out of creative excuses, asks friend to shoot him to escape work
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.
Move to France.
Hillary’s campaign manager?
Madeline Albrights sponge bath attendant?
