25-Year-Old Arrested For Stealing Naruto Book To Learn How To Be Ninja

Except for the few exceptions of Bible thumpers believing Dungeons & Dragons is from the devil, most consider the aspects of nerd culture completely and totally innocent. If anything, a lot of "normal" (I use that term loosely) people probably roll their eyes at it.

However, Naruto CAN be a bad influence on people. Don't believe me? Read on...

A 25-year-old man was arrested by the Dunwoody Police Department in Dekalb County, Georgia after he was caught stealing from a Target store. In a Facebook post, the police explained a burglary alarm had been triggered by the man as he attempted to steal Naruto Volume 5.

When asked by police why he was stealing the books, he explained to police he was trying to learn how to be a ninja, and the book would teach him how to slip in and out of restricted areas.

No, really. He wanted to learn how to be a ninja.

He was charged with 1st-degree burglary.
