The Long Arm Hair of the Law

OK, one more post before I sign off for the long weekend. There's just no way I could let this go without a mention.

Father Says Mullet Led To Fake Cop'’s Arrest

A Boston man is accused of pretending to be a police officer and patting down a 13-year-old boy.

39-year-old Kenneth Hyland was arrested Tuesday night, a short time after police say he grabbed a boy in East Boston, told him he was a police officer and then patted him down because he was looking for a weapon.

The boy ran into his home and told his father. Police say Hyland got into his truck, but before he could leave, the father approached him.

Paul Costa Sr. told the Boston Herald, "I knew he wasn't a cop. Cops don't have mullets like that."

It takes a keen eye to accurately differentiate between cop mullets and pervert mullets in a high-stress situation like that. This man is obviously a highly-trained professional.

Do not try this at home, kids.
