Wanted for Child Support Debt, Man Mistakes Bailiff for a Date and Gets Arrested

A Russian man with nearly 900,000 rubles in unpaid child support accidentally helped enforcement officers locate him after mistaking a phone call from a court bailiff for the start of a new romance. The unusual incident was reported by the Sverdlovsk Region office of Russia's Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP). According to the agency, the man believed the caller was a woman named Marina rather than a court enforcement officer. Delighted by what he assumed was an unexpected opportunity to meet someone new, he enthusiastically continued the conversation.
