Burglar wakes men with spice rub, sausage attack
- The Associated Press
Published 4:05 pm PDT Sunday, September 7, 2008Fresno County authorities have arrested a man they say broke into the home of two farmworkers, rubbed one with spices and whacked the other with a sausage before fleeing.
Fresno County sheriff’s Lt. Ian Burrimond says 22-year-old Antonio Vasquez of Fresno was found hiding in a nearby field wearing only a T-shirt, boxer shorts and socks.
Burrimond said Vasquez was arrested after deputies found a wallet containing his ID at the ransacked house just east of Fresno.
The victims told deputies they awoke Saturday morning to the stranger applying spices to one of them and striking the other with an 8-inch sausage.
Burrimond said money allegedly stolen in the burglary was recovered. The sausage was tossed away by the fleeing suspect and eaten by a dog.

The best comedy writers in Hollywood could not have written this article better, especially that closing sentence.

I can’t figure out if I’d rather be the guy getting spices rubbed on him (how’d you like to wake up to that?!), or the guy getting hit with a sausage (also not plesant, but slightly less creepy). Maybe I’ll just settle on being the dog.

At least the sausage didn’t go to waste.

I wonder what the spices were? I might like getting rubbed with spices.
