Bust Suits Him To A Tee

MAY 6--One day after his release from a county lockup, a California man was arrested after police spotted him wearing a jail-issued t-shirt with the word "PRISONER" printed on its back.

When confronted by a cop, Israel Ramirez, 20, said that as he was being released last Wednesday from the Fresno County Jail, he put a Southpole shirt over the jail t-shirt and walked out with the hot threads. "Israel said that he knew the t-shirt belonged to the Fresno County Jail but wanted to take one home because it looked 'cool,'" according to a Fresno County Sheriff's Department report, a copy of which you'll find here.

Ramirez, who had previously been locked up on marijuana and child abuse charges, was jailed for possession of stolen property.
