In a case that would not have been a mystery to anyone who has seen the movie "Old School" a man in Texas apparently wanted to party with his friends so bad he staged his own kidnapping so his wife wouldn't give him a hard time about leaving the house.
According to police, Rogelio Andaverde, 34, of Edinburg, in the Texas-Mexico border region, was with his wife at home when two masked men barged into their house carrying guns. They forced him from his home and his hysterical wife called police in a panic.
Dozens of law enforcement officers fanned out to search for Andaverde. A police helicopter was even sent out to look for him. But the investigation was going nowhere, and police officers started to become suspicious.
Andaverde thought he had outsmarted everyone, police said. He casually returned home and said the kidnappers showed mercy and had set him free. But he later confessed to investigators, police said, that it was all a ruse so he could go out for a night on the town with his drinking buddies.
Andaverde was charged with making a false report to police. He was released on $5,000 bail.
