Japanese Man Accused Of Stealing Wii-mote

Criminals take note. 37 year-old Kazunari Tanaka was spotted shoplifting a Wii-mote and music CD at a Bic Camera in Nagoya. Two twenty-something security guards approached Tanaka, who reportedly punched them so hard they were left with hand and chest injuries. Tanaka's take:

I had no intention of shoplifting and I wasn't violent.

Yah, that CD and that Wii-mote snuck into Tanaka's possession, and those two security guards walked into his fist. Good thing we've got that all cleared up! Brian Ashcraft
