The plot for the next "Ocean's 11" sequel? Maybe not.
An Oklahoma man was arrested at a Tulsa casino last week for allegedly faking his own kidnapping in order to collect ransom payments from his wife and friends, authorities said.
Jonathon Michael Davis, 34, of Owasso, had been missing for three days when his wife reported him missing, according to the Owasso Reporter. She said she had received text messages from her husband's cellphone, purportedly from her husband's captor, police told the newspaper.

His friends that contributed probably need to take him out behind the barn and beat some sense into him.
Maybe he planned to take a wild ride into the sunset with his mistress.
Oops!
LOL - I expect that my wife would do the proper thing should she get a ransom demand for me — refuse to pay it.
We need to see a pic of said wife before we lay judgement on this man.
Just sayin.
Leaving Las Tulsa.
The Ransom of Red Chief comes to mind......LOL!
I grew up there, Tulsa suburb, Sapulpa.
I have often said...
Most beautiful spot in the world, in my rear view mirror!
“You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away, and know when to run...”
He forgot to run. Stupid.
His story is as valid as Elizabeth Warren’s Fauxcahuntas story. Both were told in the interest of possible future monetary gain. She got a cushy job at Harvard, and he hoped to win at the gambling table. He is arrested, and she is adored by the left.
My friends along on the bender thought it was hilarious, the wife... not so much.
Somehow I don’t think he has “wife” or “friends” anymore....
LOL!
I hope he can spell D I V O R C E!
One of oklahoma’s finest.
Casinos are not helping.
That is an aphorism of broad application.
He doesn't watch a lot of movies. One of many absurdities of "Gone Girl" is that she shows up at a casino, as camera-rich a building as they come, in the wake of days of national coverage of her grieving husband begging for help in her kidnapping, and nobody recognizes her.
Are casinos good for our culture?
Not so far as I can tell.
