The nice guy finishes last

Steve Kink tried to be a good citizen. He saw a dude bust the window of a cell phone shop, hoping to do a smash-and-grab. Kink went after the robber and although he took a fist to the face, he managed to tackle the guy and pin him down. Other witnesses called the cops who came and arrested the wannabe robber.

A few days later, the cops showed up at Kink's house to arrest him for assault:

Mr Kink said he is appalled at the way he is being treated. He said: 'I thought I was doing the right thing by making a bit of a citizen's arrest. All I did was use reasonable force to hold him down.

'The officers who turned up appeared grateful at first but now I am facing an assault charge.'

Bloody brilliant.
