14 DAY TRIAL // We're used to reading about some celebrities' downright shocking beauty routines, but let's face it, it's not all that often that we get to hear about people using food condiments to make themselves all posh and proper. Which is precisely what makes this piece of news so fascinating.
Long story short, it was earlier this week that a man was arrested after police officers caught him using mayonnaise to wash his hair in a public fountain. Rumor has it they arrived in the area attracted by the smell of garlic.
How it all played out
According to Huffington Post, it was on Tuesday that folks in Oklahoma City, US, contacted local authorities and told them that some guy was being a nuisance and bathing in a local public fountain dubbed Bricktown. At about 8 in the afternoon, officers arrived in the area.
When they got there, the man, identified as 23-year-old Jorge Arturo Perez, was busy splashing around in the fountain. The folks around him appeared to be quite scared and upset by the sight, but Jorge looked like he was having the time of his life.
In fact, the 23-year-old was not even aware of the fact that he was not allowed to clean himself in public. Hence the fact that, when police officers asked him what he was doing, he simply replied that he was taking a bath, and using mayonnaise as shampoo.
It's still unclear whether Jorge Arturo Perez was also using French bread rolls as a sponge, and a hot dog as a toothbrush. Still, given his choice of hair cleaning products, these other items might not have been all that much out of place after all.
How the police dealt with this incident
The officers in charge of investigating this case say that, at the time when they found him, 23-year-old Jorge Arturo Perez was soaking wet. What's more, he was breathing fairly heavily. Authorities have not yet figured out whether the man consumed any drugs before jumping into the public fountain.
Shortly after being arrested, the mayonnaise enthusiast was taken to a local police station, where he was kept for 24 hours. Information shared with the public says that a thorough investigation into this peculiar incident is ongoing, and that the mayonnaise is currently kept as evidence.
For the time being, authorities in Oklahoma City have not made any official statements on this case. Truth be told, it's likely that they have chosen to remain silent because, except giving one's head a long and heartfelt scratch, there really isn't any other way to react to this piece of news.
