WEST POINT, N.Y.—A family of four has been arrested by military police for an alleged “license plate game” cheating scandal in the commissary parking lot at the United States Military Academy, officials confirmed today.
The husband, wife, and two children were witnessed checking off an insane amount of state license plates in the parking lot of the West Point commissary as a pit stop during a recent family road trip, Army spokesperson Ann Templeton told Duffel Blog.
“The family seemed to be very excited to see hard-to-find license plates like North Dakota and New Mexico without actually counting them on the highway like you’re supposed to. So the base commander decided to place them in pretrial confinement,” Templeton said.
“No regrets,” said the crazed mother, frothing at the mouth in her jail cell. “We found a Saskatchewan plate, you guys! Do you have any idea how rare that is?”
