Comedian's iPhone cookie prank backfires

[Saint in Paradise]

Comedian Randy Liedtke had the brilliant idea of baking an iPhone-shaped cookie and pulling up next to police while driving around Los Angeles.

 

"I'm honestly gonna drive around wih my iPhone Cookie today and see what happens!" he tweeted on Thursday.

 

It didn't take long for an officer to take the bait, but things didn't quite go as planned.

 

"Just saw a police car going the other way. Gonna turn around and see if I can catch up and drive by it. #iphonecookie," his update on twitter read.

 

"OH MAN IM GETTING PULLED OVER STAY TUNED!"

 

After being pulled over and sharing a photo of the police car in his rear-view mirror, Liedtke told of the officer's initial surprise when he started to eat his 'phone'.

 

"Took a bite out of the cookie. He was so confused and angry. Told me to hold tight, he is back in his car now."

 

But when the policeman returned things turned sour for the comedian.

 

"Says I have a warrant for unpaid parking tickets? Making me go with him. Letting me text gf but Im tweeting this," he said.

 

There was twitter silence from Liedtke as he presumably sweated it out in the slammer, eventually emerging 10 hours later a defeated man.

 

"Wasn't worth it. I'm an idiot... No more iPhone Cookies."

....and to take the picture of the police in his rear view mirror. Tweeting, taking pictures and eating while driving. Cracking joke.
