Sheila Eubank Fakes Kidnapping To Skip Work, Gets Arrested, Police Say

There is no shortage of inventive excuses that workers will turn to in search of a day off from work. Few employees, however, go as far as to tell a tall tale to police about being kidnapped and assaulted by a knife-wielding robber -- just for an extra day of rest and relaxation.

But that's exactly what Sheila Bailey Eubank stands accused of doing, according to news accounts. Police in San Antonio have charged Eubank (pictured above) with aggravated perjury after the story of her kidnapping reportedly unwound under questioning by investigators.
