Authorities failed to notice a British man had a detachable false leg when they fitted him with an electronic tag to ensure he obeyed a curfew after being convicted of cannabis possession.
Bret Ravenhill, 29, was given probation by a judge but barred from going out at night for three months.
Ravenhill, who lost his limb in a motorbike crash six years ago, said a security worker failed to spot his left leg was made of metal and detachable. Eespite security workers checking his tag every four weeks, no one noticed it was attached to the metal leg.
A security worker spokesman added: "It would appear that in this instance the procedure has not been followed."
Genius! Let me just put this on your weird metallic leg.. Did the guy not know it was a fake leg? Great read!
