Ex-Taco Bell Employee Jason Earl Dean Gets 10-Year Sentence For Handcuffing Himself To Co-Worker

Lots of grand romantic gestures are illegal, like running through airport security to declare your love, punching someone who dishonors your lady, or standing outside your sweetheart's window, blasting "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel from a boombox.

And one daring display of affection has now landed one lovelorn Georgia 25-year-old in jail for four years, and on probation for another six, reports the Catoosa News. In August 2011, Jason Earl Dean, who worked at a Taco Bell in Ringgold, Ga., handcuffed himself to an 18-year-old co-worker whom he wished to date. Unfortunately, the girl reportedly had zero interest in Dean, had expressed this to him multiple times, and even changed her shifts to avoid him.
