charges possible for April Fools joke ...

[lancestorm]

WEST MONROE, N.Y. -- A man in central New York faces criminal charges for faking his own hanging as an April Fool's joke on his ex-wife.

According to Oswego County authorities, Randy Wood phoned his ex-wife Thursday and said he had something he wanted to show her. She found him with a rope around his neck, hanging from a tree in the front yard of his home in West Monroe.

Authorities said that Wood actually secured himself with a lineman's harness like those used by utility crews. But his ex-wife called 911 before he told her it was a prank.

Wood could face a fine and jail time.

An ex-wife? You would have thought she would have been shouting happily like she won the lottery or something.

If I had been the ex, I think I would have told him to try again and this time do it right.

That's pretty cruel. Dude's got issues.

most places make it a crime to call 911 without a true emergency. he'll get off, since he didnt dial the phone, he didnt call, so how could they charge him?

To make it better, have a handgun laying on the ground and a ton of fake blood dripping off of you to make it look like you not only hung yourself, but shot yourself too. Then have a fake knife sticking out of your crotch and make it look like someone tried mugging you after you were dead.
