Slot Machine Saves German Gambler as Police Arrive
A gambler in Germany has been saved from prison by a one-armed bandit.
Police said Thursday that two officers carrying out routine checks at an arcade in the western city of Bochum late last week discovered that a man playing a slot machine faced an arrest warrant.
He had been ordered to pay a 710-euro ($910) fine or go to prison for 71 days after resisting police during a previous incident.
