San Francisco's Santino Aviles has been acquitted of purportedly breaking into an apartment and taking a nap. Aviles, however, believed he was stealing a spaceship.
According to his defense team, 41-year-old Santino Aviles believed the earth's destruction was imminent, so he spotted the apartment building he thought looked like a spaceship…
After a short nap on the couch, he threw the resident's inflatable exercise ball onto the fire escape, "planning to float with it through the galaxy," he testified….
In a videotaped interrogation following his arrest, Aviles can be seen muttering about spaceships and telling police the world was going to explode.
Aviles was convicted of misdemeanor battery and assault.
