Drunken Norwegian man breaks *into* prison

OSLO, Norway (AP) - In a different kind of jail break, a very drunk young man surprised prison guards by breaking into their northern Norway jail.

"You might say we were a bit perturbed to find this person on our turf," prison warden Geir Broen said on the state radio network NRK on Monday.

Broen said the district prison in the Arctic town of Bodoe is rebuilding its outer fence, and that the man broke through a section of temporary fencing.

The weak fence is of no help to real prisoners seeking a way out, since they are confined within the walls of the jail compound.

Hehe... Drunk Norweigans. You just have to love them :p

He must have been broke if he spent enough to get drunk, so prison would at least be a warm bed for the night!

I wonder if he is part of that group that about got their heads cut off in Egypt a while back?

Sigh. Too bad the people streaming over our unprotected borders aren't drunk Norwegians... :(
