the week in pictures: summer superheroes, kardashian wannabes and Boosie gets busted
A Texas man who was arrested in his own home after police mistook him for a burglar was sentenced to 30 days in prison. The charge?
Resisting arrest. Marco Sauceda, a 30-year-old immigrant who doesn't speak English, says he was frightened and locked himself in the bathroom after police kicked down his door. He says he was then shot with a pepper ball gun and wrestled to the ground by nine officers. A lawyer for the police, who were responding to a neighbor's call, argued that Sauceda exhibited criminal behavior by hiding from police: "This whole incident could have been avoided very easily if he would have said, 'Me llamo Marco. Es mi casa.'"
