Oregon man with the balloons, the flowers, the big oversized
cardboard check winning him five grand a week fourever, so,

Speaker 2 (01:45):
He's running lettas you quite male, covered in mud and underwear.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Man, you had a chance, you had a choice.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I was scared, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
According to the arrest Affidavid police responded to the hotspring
where they found twenty six year old Angus Bogus, who
had been suspected of alleged credit card fraud. Officers allowed
him to take a shower, which was nice, and then
they hustled him into jail. He's wanted on charges of
second degree burglary, escape, and obstruction of justice.
