SWAT standoff ends in Banjo recital

Police in Vancouver, Washington responded to reports of a naked man with a knife. The initial call turned into a hostage standoff.

Eventually the suspect came out, not carrying a knife but a banjo. He played the SWAT team a song like he was auditioning for some show like America’s got Talent. The SWAT team must not have found a great amount of talent in his act because once it ended they used a less-than-lethal control device to take him into custody.

You can’t make this stuff up!
