Police station to murder suspect: Come back later, we're closed

It's one thing for a deli or a dry cleaner to tell after-hours visitors that it's closed, but a police station? A 45-year-old man wanted for a gangland-style murder tried turning himself in at a Malmö, Sweden, cop shop, but he was shooed away because it was 6 p.m. and past the station's normal business hours. Officers directed him to a second police station, where he was promptly arrested. Despite being on the run for 15 months, the man insists that he's innocent. ("I'd be an idiot to come back otherwise," he said.) As for the mix-up at the Malmö station, one commander blamed it on ongoing office renovations. "Things are a bit messy right now," he said. [Source]
