Mason Requa, Pizza Delivery Man, Accused Of Homicide Hoax
By Michael McLaughlin

A pizza delivery man allegedly lied about witnessing a beheading near Rochester, New York to escape punishment from his boss for a late delivery.

Police from several departments spent hours Wednesday night searching for a machete-wielding man that Mason Requa said he saw decapitate a 7-year-old girl, according to WHAM.

Requa later confessed that he concocted the story because he feared his boss would fire him for taking too long with a delivery, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Department.

Authorities charged him with falsely submitting an incident, a misdemeanor, according to WBTA.

3. If he were my son...

...I would kick his ass and I would be disappointed in myself for having raised such an unprincipled individual.

Rochester is my hometown. What a disgusting thing to be known for.

2. They must take that "30 Minutes or It's Free" policy pretty seriously.

I'm guessing brain surgeon wasn't a realistic career choice for this kid in the first place.

5. So, did he keep his job?

10. He was going to be replaced by a robot...

until the contraption decapitated a customer during beta testing.

6. Hope he has to pay for the police costs also. nt

8. That's what I was thinking.

He should do some serious community service time too. A few hundred hours of picking up trash and cleaning bird shit off of handrails should give him ample time to think about what a bonehead decision he made.

7. I'll have to remember that excuse the next time I am late for work

I will file it under: "Late For Work Excuse Fail" to be sure I don't use it too.

11. I was thinking "flat tire" since he was on a delivery run.

12. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

let's see, what excuse could I give the boss for being late? Flat tire? No, he'd ask about the spare. Stopped by the cops? No, he'd ask to see the ticket. A big ol' wreck that tied up traffic! Nah, he'd check the news. I know! I'll invent a gruesome murder! That's the ticket!

15. I guess the old "stuck in traffic" or "got caught behind a wreck" just doesn't work anymore...
