CORNWALL, Connecticut (AP) -- The son of billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens was charged with burglary after he was found hiding under a table in a fly fishing shop, authorities said.

 

Michael Pickens, 51, spent three days in jail following his arraignment Monday in Bantam Superior Court.

 

He was found Sunday inside the Housatonic Meadows Fly Shop after the store's owner noticed something wrong and called police, according to state police.

 

Investigators found a nearby stash of items taken from the shop and found Pickens groggy and hiding under a table inside, state police said.

 

Pickens, of Nocona, Texas, had rented a room nearby for a weekend of fishing, the Republican-American of Waterbury, Connecticut, reported.

 

Pickens was indicted last year on federal securities fraud allegations in New York and had been freed on $500,000 bond under a promise to appear for future court dates and not violate the law. He faces 20 years in jail if convicted of securities fraud.

 

As a result of the arrest in Cornwall, Pickens was ordered to appear in U.S. District Court in New York for a bail status hearing, where a judge will decide whether to increase his bond.

:wtf What moron that has this much money does something like this...........I don't know what to say about people like this. I think people should have to go in front of a board and let the board decide whether they should have offspring or not and if the board doesn't think they are a productive enough citizen that would create a kid that would be a useful member of society then they should have their reproductive organs removed and then hit on the head with a hammer!!! :blink:
