Blockbuster Worker Stabbed Himself in the Leg in a Ploy to Miss
Work
By Nick Allen in Los Angeles
Nov. 4 (Telegraph) -- A video store clerk was so desperate
to avoid work that he stabbed himself in the leg.
Facing a night shift at a Blockbuster video store, Aaron
Siebers, 27, took a serrated knife and stabbed himself in the
leg. For good measure he then slashed his own face and stomach.
Mr Siebers then told the video store in Denver, Colorado,
that he had been attacked by three men dressed in black on his
way to work.
After stabbing himself, he was hospitalised with a deep
puncture wound to his lower leg.
But his ploy sparked a large police manhunt with officers
and sniffer dogs combing the streets for his attacker.
CCTV near where the incident was supposed to have taken
place showed no attack and, after repeated questioning, Mr
Siebers eventually admitted that he had made it up to get out of
work.
He has been charged with false reporting and obstructing
police.
Mr Siebers later told officers he had ripped his uniform
trousers while skateboarding and didn’t want to lose his job by
turning up at work without them.
Rather than just calling in sick, he decided to stab
himself. A knife with blood on the blade and handle was later
found in his backpack.

Holding onto a job at Blockbuster is probably a kinda understandable motive here. A bit of a radical approach for sure. ...the way Netflix is eating their lunch.
