Police say man set fire to apartment to escape sex noise
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say an Albuquerque man took drastic action to escape the sounds of his neighbors having sex _ he set fire to his own apartment.
The Albuquerque Journal reports (http://goo.gl/g1js6c) that Reuben Cook told police Sunday he "tried to burn anything he could think of" in his apartment to run from the annoying sounds.
A criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court says police found minor fire damage when they arrived to Cook's apartment.
The complaint says the 36-years-old Cook told police he heard people having sex upstairs and decided he wanted to go to prison and get away from the noise.
