NOT THE ONION: Illegal Migrant Fugitive Busted Trying to Evade Capture by Hiding in Italian Nativity Scene Posed as One of the Three Wise Men

In a bizarre attempt to avoid arrest, a 38-year-old Ghanaian illegal migrant fugitive was busted in southern Italy after attempting to blend into a life-size Christmas Nativity scene by posing as one of the Three Wise Men.

The failed hideout took place in the small town of Galatone, located in the Puglia region of southern Italy, earlier this month.

The fugitive, whose identity has not been publicly released, was on the run after being convicted of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
