Jerry Springer meets Darth Vader's wife
Man Accused of Kidnapping Neighbor's Cat
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 9:42 a.m. ET GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) -- Deryl Miles is accused of cat nabbing. Miles, 55, allegedly kidnapped his neighbor's cat and held it hostage for $50 after the animal wandered into his yard. He was arrested Tuesday on misdemeanor larceny charges for allegedly trapping the cat, named Brunswick, in a wooden shed behind his mobile home, according to court documents. Surrounded by police, Miles called a local newspaper from his trailer and said ``I've taken (the cat) legally because it was trespassing on my property.'' Miles refused to release the cat, and was arrested after leading police on a brief chase around his yard, court documents stated. The cat's owner, Leah Vader, said she called police after hearing her pet howling from the shed next door. ``You have the right to call animal control if you have an unwanted animal in your yard,'' she said. ``You don't have the right to hold him for ransom.'' |

Makes me think of a keystone cops or three stooges routine. I am envisioning him running around his yard in circles with coppers in hot pursuit! LOL |
