ORLAND — Orlando Robinson II couldn't get arrested Saturday, although he tried his best.
The 28-year-old transient walked into the Orland Police Department about 3 p.m. and told officer Sean Johnson he wanted to be arrested because he had nowhere to live.
Robinson said he was on parole from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and was wearing an ankle bracelet.
Johnson told the man he had no wants or warrants and had no reason to hold him.
Robinson began to tamper with the GPS monitoring device on his ankle, which is a violation of parole.
As Johnson was filling out a booking questionnaire he discovered that Robinson was no longer on parole, and removing the bracelet would not be a violation.
The man left the police department disappointed, but armed with information about places where he might get some assistance with basic needs.
