The authorities in Arizona accused a man of going to extreme lengths to get out of work this month, saying he faked his own kidnapping, bound his own wrists, gagged himself and invented a story of treasure hidden in the desert.

（美國）亞利桑那州當局指控，一名男子本月為了逃避工作無所不用其極，指稱此人假裝自己被綁架、自縛雙手、以物塞口，以及編故事說沙漠裡有寶藏。

The man, Brandon Soules, was arrested last week on a charge of false reporting to law enforcement, the police in Coolidge, Ariz., said in a statement that outlined a scheme they believe was intended to get Mr. Soules excused from his job at a tire store.

亞利桑那州柯立芝警方在一份聲明中，描述這個他們相信是為了逃避去輪胎行上班的計畫，這個名叫布蘭登‧索爾斯的男子，上週被控向執法人員謊報而遭逮捕。

In the statement, the police said that Mr. Soules, 19, admitted during an interview with detectives that he had made up the kidnapping story, which led to his arrest.

警方在聲明中指出，19歲的索爾斯在遭探員偵訊時坦承，被綁架是他自己亂掰的，並因此遭到逮捕。
