That video was even funnier when people found out the story behind him. A very eloquent old man's genuine reaction to getting arrested on false charges.

Wait he didn't even do the crime? I didn't think this could be any funnier

He apparently fit the description of someone wanted for felony fraud + dine and dashing (truly, one of the rap sheets of all time)

Which is why so many popo were sent to arrest this one middle aged thespian.

No it's way funnier. He did do the crime. Dining and dashing.

It's just he was mistaken for a international criminal from Hungary wanted for credit card fraud, who also had a habit on the side of dining and dashing as well (just for kicks I guess).

So the Queensland police got tipped off by Interpol that this Hungarian guy might be around doing credit card fraud, but he might be dining and dashing.

So when they got reports of a guy serially dining and dashing, they launched this huge operation to catch him. But he was just a random Australian guy.

Comedy sketch writers wish they could've written this.

He had been imbibing some of the juice of the red grape.
