Police officers in Alabama have come up with a creative new way to catch people who refuse to pay their court ordered child support payment, inviting them out to party.
Authorities set up a phony fan organization, which sent out letters to various residents in the county who are not paying child support.
The letters told them they had won tickets to this year’s Iron Bowl contest between Auburn and Alabama at Jordan-Hare Stadium. They were invited to a huge tailgate party Friday where they could pick up their tickets. Investigators called their sting: Operation Iron Snare.
The officers, clad in Auburn and Alabama gear, were waiting at this ‘tailgate party,’ even applauding the so-called winners when they entered the building. When the deadbeat parents arrived, they had to show a driver’s license to win their ticket, but then the tables turned. They were cuffed.
Man, Chris Hansen should have taped this!

lol i actually like this.. its a shame you have to trick dads into becoming fathers.
lets hope they are trying to catch ALL deadbeats and not profiling certain races
paying child support doesn’t make you a father.
it’s the way you women look at men’s contribution as only financial why some dudes dont want to paticipate in the first place.
who cares if they were profiling…a deadbeat is a deadbeat. no remorse
true indeed!
Isnt this entrapment? Ijs
if going to a football game as a deadbeat was a crime
good thing i don’t like football.
This is not new. Done in an 1989 Al Pacino movie called sea of love! It used baseball instead of football.
Men who dont take care of their children are scum and deserve what they get. If you dont know if the child is yours? Then get a DNA test, dont get along with the mother? So you make the child suffer the most? Thats a low scum bag move.
They almost got me like this back in 2009. How the fuck I win a contest that I didn’t sign up for. I got a suspended license since 2006 and credit ain’t shit too!
hmm. Sounds like entrapment to me. Shouldn’t hold up. But they make the rules and twist them as they choose. Whatev.
