Man learns casino losses not deductible
WORLAND, Wyo., Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Police in Wyoming said an armed man reported outside of a woman's home turned out to be a cardboard cutout of John Wayne set up by her daughter.
Investigators said the Washakie Count Law Enforcement Center received a call Sunday from a Worland woman who reported a tall man with a gun was pounding on her front door, the Northern Wyoming Daily News reported Wednesday.
"We responded to the area and did observe a tall man with a saddle ring carbine Winchester in his hand all dressed in John Wayne attire," an officer who responded wrote in a report of the incident. "It was a cardboard cutout of John Wayne. Shortly after our arrival the daughter stepped out and stated she was pranking her mother who by this time was starting to settle down a little. This gun call checked out OK. Daughter had a video camera and was going to record her mom's reaction."
