Police Swipe Man's Xbox

Imagine being pulled over for speeding and having your Xbox console taken away. That’s exactly what happened to Kenyatta Hillman when he was pulled over by Orange County Florida sheriff’s deputies last week. According to Hillman, he was pulled over for speeding, but instead of getting a ticket he had his Xbox 360 and eight games confiscated.

In an interview with WFTV Channel 9, Hillman claims the deputies searched his car because he and his friends smelled of marijuana. Inside was an Xbox console with several games and deputies ran the serial numbers to check if the property was stolen. Apparently there have been several burglaries in the neighborhood and Xbox consoles are a big target. Even though the serial number came up clean, the deputy took the game console anyways and told Hillman he could get it back, if he brought a receipt.

With the original receipt and retail box in hand, Hillman went to the sheriff’s station, but no one could find the console in the evidence room. Since Hillman wasn’t arrested or given a ticket, there was no case number assigned to the property. A Sheriff’s sergeant later promised to get the system back to Hillman.

The sheriff’s office told WFTV that it doesn’t believe the Xbox was stolen, but that’s little consolation because Mr. Hillman still hasn’t received his game console back.

No doubt there is probably much more to this story than we’re seeing and it will be interesting to see where the console has been hiding all this time.
