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, police said on Friday.

警方週五說，阿肯色州一對夫婦的晚間「古怪」娛樂，最後是以逮捕用的真手銬取代原先助興用的手銬收場。

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

警方報告指出，達斯汀．泰勒，21歲，本週把警方叫到他位於史密斯堡的家中，以解開一副他告訴警官是他和妻子前一晚用來「做些『古怪』事情」時所使用的手銬。

The couple had lost the key, Taylor explained.

泰勒解釋說，他們夫妻遺失了鑰匙。

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

前往回應的巡警解開了該副手銬，並在警方資料庫中以泰勒之名進行例行搜尋。

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

當電腦回報了一張針對泰勒刑事傷害的有效逮捕令，手銬重新回到他身上。而這次，它們是屬於那位警官。

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

巡佐丹尼爾．格拉布斯，史密斯堡警察局發言人，對泰勒表達了幾分同情。

"I sort of wish the guy had invested in an extra handcuff key," Grubbs said. （Reuters）

格拉布斯說：「我有點希望這個人當初多花點錢在手銬的備用鑰匙上。」（路透）
