Man had tag fitted to false leg
Man had tag fitted to false leg A man has told how he had an electronic tag fitted - to his detachable false leg.
Bret Ravenhill, 29, was given the tag to ensure he obeyed a curfew after being convicted of cannabis possession, reports The Sun.
He said a Group 4 security worker failed to notice that his left leg was made of metal and detachable.
Ravenhill, a forklift truck driver who lost the leg in a motorcycle crash six years ago, said: "Two friends were at my house when she came round and were killing themselves laughing.
"I thought she would realise straight away - but she never bothered to turn up my trouser leg or look underneath my sock. I just left things as they were for a joke."
Ravenhill, from Barnsley, was given probation by a judge but barred from going out at night for three months.
Despite security workers checking his tag every four weeks, none noticed it was attached to the metal leg.
He said: "I didn't break my curfew once - but I could have been out living it up every night. I'm no danger to the public - but what if they'd done the same thing to an armed robber?"
A Group 4 spokesman commented: "It would appear that in this instance the procedure has not been followed."
