If there’s a warrant out for your arrest, perhaps you should think twice about popping your pimples in a public place.

That’s what police in Florida said when they arrested Owen Lemire Kato outside a Cape Coral McDonald’s in an incident that would make the Hamburglar blush.

As Mr Kato, 23, reached behind him to pop zits on his back for 10 minutes, customers demanded that he leave the restaurant.

WSTP.com reported that one of the McDonald’s customers, an off-duty police officer, asked Mr. Kato what his name was.

He replied ‘John Smith’ before changing his mind and giving the officer his correct name and date of birth.

Suddenly, Mr Kato took off running, but was arrested not far from the McDonald’s by another police officer who tackled him.

As the officers searched him, a syringe was found in his pocket.

 

 

Mr Kato’s girlfriend told officers that the 23-year-old was using the syringe to inject himself with OxyContin.

He admitted to arresting officers that he gave a phony name and ran because there was an active warrant out for his arrest.

Last year, he was busted twice for driving with a suspended license.

He was arrested for driving without a license, as well as resisting arrest, possession of drug equipment, and giving false identification to a police officer.
