PESTER A PASTOR

A Shreveport, Louisiana pastor was jailed for nearly eight hours due to a case of mistaken identity.

Gregory Jones was pulled over for speeding and was subsequently arrested after the cop mistook him for a different man who was wanted for violating his parole. Jones not only had the same name as the wanted man, but the two also shared a birthday.

A photograph and fingerprint eventually proved Jones's claims that they had nabbed the wrong man.
