Taiwanese Fugitive Nabbed Because of 'Wanted' T-shirt
A Taiwanese fugitive who knew no English has been arrested because police were curious about the word "Wanted" printed on his T-shirt, officers said Thursday.
The man, identified only by his surname Wu and wanted on drug abuse charges, was arrested last week at Huwei, a town in the southern country of Yunlin, a police spokesman told Agence France Presse.
A patrolling police officer who had passed an elementary-level nationwide English proficiency test approached Wu because of his T-shirt, the spokesman said.
Further questioning of Wu and a check on his status on the police computer system led to the arrest.
Wu told police the T-shirt was a gift from his son and he would not have worn it if he had known what "Wanted" meant.
