Man Accused of Really Liking Piggy Back Rides

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the duck-duck-please-don't-goose dept.

Police in Bonney Lake, Wa. are warning high school students to watch out for a man who might have a developmental disability and a fixation with high school athletes and piggy back rides. On Monday a Bonney Lake High School football player was lured to the public library by the man, who'd said he would help the player with a college term paper interview. Instead of helping the student the man starting acting strangely, jumped on the student's back and asked for a piggy back ride. The football player left soon after when the man gave him a package that contained "odd amounts of money."

    What's funny is how stupid the kid must have been to be fooled by the guy in the first place.

    Kinda reinforces the stereotypes about dumb jocks.

    My girlfriend and I were wandering around Seattle in 2005, when he ran up and did his thing:
