A Case of Mistaken Identity

February 17, 2005 by Andy Towle

Lookalikes_200Andrew Barn, a UK hairdresser who makes a part-time living as a David Beckham impersonator, was arrested in a Manchester bar for pinching a policeman’s ass while celebrating his 24th birthday. He had mistaken the officer for a stripper. Said Barn, “I thought, ooh, a policeman stripper. It really is my birthday.” Barn was fingerprinted and released after giving DNA. “I thought they over-reacted. It was well over the top. There are real criminals out there and it took who knows how many police hours to arrest me. He was a good-looking lad, though. It was an honest mistake. All the officers shook my hand when I left the station. They said I’d become a legend. They had obviously been winding the officer up.”
