The great city by the bay, San Francisco, has a long and colorful history of drug use, some of which has contributed to spontaneous cultural revolution, while others have contributed to significant crime and other unsavory problems.
A May, 2014 San Francisco drug adventure by a man named Santonio Aviles would probably fall into the latter category. Aviles is being accused of breaking into an apartment for nefarious purposes. However, Aviles’s attorneys turned his drug use into a defense, claiming Aviles didn’t mean to break into the apartment since he was actually trying to board a spaceship on the apartment’s roof, reports SF Gate.
Maybe Aviles thought he really was trying to get on a spaceship. Stranger things certainly have happened in San Francisco. Regardless, the defense worked, and the spaceship-boarding Aviles was acquitted.
