Man Chooses Jail Over House Arrest

[GIMNEPIWO]

A man on house arrest asked police to put in him jail rather than serve the remainder of his sentence at home with his wife, a Reuters story said.

Builder Santino Gambio, 30, was serving a sentence for dumping hazardous waste at his house in Villabate, Sicily, just outside the capital. But after being home with his wife, he went to the police station and asked to be jailed to avoid having more arguments, the story said. His wife had been accusing him of failing to take care of their two children.

Police charged him with violating the conditions of his house arrest and sent him home to work things out with his wife, the story said.
