MAGNOLIA, Ark. - James Cotton looked just like any other Wal-Mart customer buying a bolt cutter at 4:30 in the morning - until the cashier noticed that Cotton was wearing handcuffs.

According to police, the clerk took Cotton's money, gave him the bolt cutter, then called officers. Cotton was caught minutes later Saturday, after he had gone into the bathroom and cut off the handcuffs.

Cotton had been arrested the night before by the Haynesville, La., police on charges of battery and possession of a narcotic, but he kicked out a window in a police car and fled, authorities said.

Call me crazy, but the last pair of bolt cutters I used weren't electric. Old James Cotton isn't too bright.

Bolt cutters are huge oversized wire cutters with really long handles.

I find it ironic that he was "honest" enough to buy the bolt cutter. Sure, he probably would have used it and returned it later. But still ...
