A man in Utah told authorities he had been kidnapped, tied up, force-fed two beers and dumped by the side of the road over the weekend, all over a case of mistaken identity. Either that, or it was a really elaborate excuse to tell his wife after going on a total bender.

The man, whose hands had been tied together with a hanger, was found walking along a highway outside Salt Lake City on Saturday morning. He told Police Sgt. Dennis McGowan that he'd parked his car in his driveway at 6 a.m. when he was dragged out and thrown into a red pickup truck by two men.

"They told him this was their area and that he can't sell drugs here," McGowan said, even though the man denied having or selling any drugs.

According to the man's account, the kidnappers then forced him to chug two cans of beer before kicking him out of the truck. The man found himself dazed, disoriented and, somehow, the newest pledge at Phi Kappa Tau.
