AN AMERICAN man tried to give police the slip by switching motels – but left a gooey clue that led to his capture.
Authorities said a motel cleaning crew discovered a mess of Vaseline on mattresses, bedding, a TV set, furniture, carpeting and towels in Roger Chamberlain's room after he checked out last week.
The damage was put at more than $US1000 ($1449).
Fourteen empty petroleum jelly jars and numerous ****ographic magazines were also fished out of the rubbish bin, according to WNBF radio in Binghamton.
Shortly afterward, a sheriff's deputy tracked Chamberlain down to a nearby motel, finding the 44-year-old Virginia man entirely covered in the greasy ointment.
He was charged with criminal mischief.
Notice how they put "American" in all caps... :lol:
