20 Worst Cases of Gamers Getting Arrested

Category: Default Game: Default Posted on Jun 04, 2009 2:21 am


Well well well let's just cut the crap and take a look at these nerds and their cases. The last one made me laugh like a ****!

Star Skirmish
05/25/2007: On his way to a photo shoot for the Australian daily newspaper MX, a 32-year-old Star Wars 501st Legion member -- in costume as an Imperial Death Star guard -- was arrested for carrying his replica laser blaster in plain view. The "weapon," worth about $500, was sticking out of his backpack, causing concerned shoppers at a retail complex to alert security guards to the matter. The stormtrooper, spotted eating breakfast at the food court, was pinned to the ground and handcuffed by Victoria police. The arrest reportedly caused a wave of alarm to sweep followers of the Dark Side, who say they wish to maintain cordial relations with Earth police.

Second Death
10/25/2008: In Japan, a 43-year-old woman was physically arrested for a virtual murder. The woman, a piano teacher in Miyazaki, was upset when her virtual husband in the multi-player online role playing game MapleStory divorced her without any warning. Using his login information, which she had obtained while their MapleStory matrimony was still intact, the woman hacked into the man's account and assassinated his online persona. Upon discovering what his web-ex had done, the man complained to the police and the woman was arrested on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data. The two had never met in real life.

First Life Fail
08/21/2008: What started out as a storybook romance between a virtual woman and a lion in the online world of Second Life turned into a real-life relationship between Kimberly Jernigan (pictured,) 33, of North Carolina, and a 52-year-old Delaware man. But when the man ended the virtual-turned-actual courtship, Jernigan resorted to some fantastical means to get back her "lion." Allegedly posing as a postal worker, Jernigan found her former beau's new address and, armed with handcuffs, a Taser, duct tape, a BB gun, and her dog Gogi, broke into his home by cutting through a window screen. Once inside, police say Jernigan quieted her dog with tape and waited for her love interest to return. Once he did, she reportedly pointed a laser beam, presumably coming from the BB gun, at his chest. The man fled and called the police, who found Jernigan at a rest stop approximately an hour later. She was arrested after a brief struggle and faced charges of attempted kidnapping, burglary, and aggravated menacing.

Need to Talk?
12/29/2008: An Ohio teenager was arrested after he phoned in to a live chat with a representative of World of Warcraft-makers Blizzard Entertainment to express his frustrations with the game. The 17-year-old threatened to kill himself, a threat he denied was sincere once police showed up at his house. The boy, whose name was not released, was arrested and charged with a first-degree misdemeanor.

Virtual Alchemy
05/09/2009: Police in Chengdu, China, arrested two World of Warcraft "gold farmers," traders who sell virtual gold for actual money, a practice prohibited by Blizzard Entertainment's Terms of Service. The Chengdu operation had grown to 20 employees and amassed ¥ 1.6 million within seven months.

LAN-Cuffed
02/27/2007: In Palmer, Alaska, a 21-year-old World of Warcraft enthusiast was arrested for using a library's Wi-Fi connection after hours to play the game on his own laptop, which is against the library's policy.

Gunshots Reported
01/13/2009: Neighbors in Copenhagen, Denmark feared the worst when they heard the sound of gunshots coming from the apartment next door. Police were called and police arrived with megaphones ordering the assumed gunmen to surrender. When the officers knocked down the door, they saw that the blasts were coming not from real weapons, but from digital ones - in the Playstation 3 game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. The two stunned gamers were handcuffed anyway, until the police were fully sure that they meant no harm.

OMGROFL!!!!!!
Wrong Number
02/19/2008: Gamer Thomas Ballard, 29, elated at his victory in an an XBOX game, meant to call up a friend to brag about his success accidentally dialed a wrong number, exclaiming "I have killed them all!" to the woman who picked up, before realising his mistake. Louisiana police arrived at his Delhi home, and although they found no evidence of wrongdoing for expressing his video game glee, they did discover that he had a 5-year-old warrant out for his arrest for a cocaine possession charge.
