After Tuesdays little bit of local excitement, it looks as though Alejandro Parres is going to be providing some good court-based entertainment in the near future.

Shaping up nicely for the well tested Raving Nailed-On Nutter Defence, it turns out that our (alleged) armed robber has “a microchip inside his head” implanted by “spies“.

Speaking through an interpreter, Alejandro Rodrigo Parres Navarro told the judge that he was in the seventh year of a program run by an unnamed “intelligence service” and that staging the robbery was his only way out.

“My only solution was to provoke an incident, or suicide,” he told the court, having first requested permission to speak. “I’m going through a very bad time.”

Perhaps he might like this excellent linky to help him chill out a bit? (via Twitter today)

This one may run for a while…
