PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police say a man handed an apologetic robbery note to an employee at a FedEx Kinko's store, then waited for police to arrive.

Employee Paul Rhoney says the note said: "This is a robbery, I'll wait outside for police, sorry."

Police Detective Mary Wheat says responding officers found the 46-year-old man outside the store Tuesday morning and took him into custody.

Wheat says no robbery charges will be pursued because the man did not have a weapon and didn't carry out a robbery. Police believe he simply wanted to go to jail.

The man was taken to the Multnomah County Jail for investigation of initiating a false report.

Sounds like what he was looking for was "3 hots & a cot". Thats sad.

^ Yeah pretty much. Very sad.

If all he wanted to do was spend a couple of nights in jail he could have just gotten drunk and then pee on a squad car.
