Man beats himself up, fakes own kidnapping to get out of work

A man in Arizona was arrested and fired from his job after he tried to fake his own kidnapping. Brandon Soules, 19, has pleaded guilty to reporting false information to law enforcement after he beat himself up, tied his hands with his own belt, stuck a bandana in his mouth and threw himself on the side of the road in Coolidge, Ariz. on Feb. 10. He later confessed to fabricating the whole story to get out of work.
