Submission + - Boy Arrested for Opening Christmas Present Early
kstatefan40 writes: "CNN is reporting that a 12 year old boy was arrested by Columbia, South Carolina police after opening his Christmas present early.
From the Article:
"The mother called police Sunday after learning her son had disobeyed orders and repeatedly taken a Game Boy from its hiding place at his great-grandmother's house next door and played it.
He was arrested on petty larceny charges, taken to the police station in handcuffs and held until his mother picked him up after church."
