BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU NEED A HUG (A STORY WITH PICTURES)

This is Mark Eskelsen.

He is scary.

He is homeless.

But probably not a Jedi.

One day, Mark broke into a suburban home in Portland, Oregon and jumped in their hot tub.

Finally, Mark broke down.  He told the dispatcher that he wasn’t really the sheriff, he didn’t need medical assistance, and in fact the real problem was that he’d been in the hot tub for ten hours and his towels had gotten wet.  All he really wanted, he said, was “a hug and a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in it.

Instead, he was arrested for second-degree criminal trespass and improper use of 911.  By Denise Milani.
