Costume confession: Drunk driver turns politely turns himself in

Here’s a hilarious Halloween story for you: A young man, 25-year-old Brandon Conti, had failed to appear in court for a drunk driving charge earlier in the month. As part of a local police tradition, his mugshot was posted to Facebook in the form of a wanted notice. What police didn’t expect was for Conti to comment on the post. Rather than protest, he simply asked a very seasonal question, “Where’s my costume?” The police then responded by photoshopping an adorable sailor outfit right on top of the mugshot — to which Conti replied with several cry-laugh emoji and a promise to turn himself in. True to his word, Conti showed up to the police station before noon. Too bad he’ll be wearing a different costume in jail.

Aside from prison jumpsuits, orange is the color of Halloween and pumpkins.
