<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man in the US went to the extraordinary lengths of faking his own kidnapping in a bid to avoid an argument with his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Rahmell Pettway, 36, told the police he had been away from home for two weeks and staged the kidnapping to give himself the perfect excuse with his partner.<\/p>\n
However, detectives who found him in the street noticed the duct tape used to tie him up was still hanging from his own wrists.<\/p>\n
One source from the law enforcement department told the New York Post: "He's a total moron. It was a pathetic attempt to pull the wool [over] her eyes."<\/p>\n
Mr Pettway initially claimed he could not remember what had happened, but soon told a story of abduction by two men in a blue minivan.<\/p>\n
Authorities soon grew suspicious of his account of events and he later confessed to making the whole thing up to avoid a domestic argument.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
