Man arrested after losing key to ‘kinky’ handcuffs

An Arkansas couple's evening of "kinky" entertainment ended with one pair of handcuffs used for fun being replaced by another used for real in an arrest, US police said on Friday.

Dustin Taylor (21) summoned police to his home in Fort Smith to remove a pair of handcuffs that he and his wife had been using the previous night while "doing some 'kinky' things", the official report stated.

Taylor explained to officers that the couple had lost the key.

The responding patrolman removed the handcuffs and did a routine search of Taylor’s name in a police database.

Outstanding warrant

When the computer reported an outstanding warrant for Taylor on criminal mischief, handcuffs went back on. But this time they belonged to the officer.

Sgt Daniel Grubbs, spokesman for the Fort Smith police, expressed a measure of sympathy for Taylor.

“I sort of wish the guy had invested in an extra handcuff key,” he said.
