Inmate files restraining order against GTA

Saturday 19-Apr-2008 10:35 AM You can't make this stuff up

An inmate residing at the Federal Corrections Institute in Williamsburg County, S.C. has filed a handwritten complaint against parties including Take-Two and Rockstar Games.

On April 9, inmate Jonathan Lee Riches, 31, filed a request for a temporary restraining order in a US District Court against Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two, developer Rockstar, FCI Williamsburg and "Grand Theft Auto" itself, claiming that the defendants "put me in prison."

Riches, who's incarcerated for wire fraud, wrote in his filing that he seeks a temporary restraining order against the "newest Grand Theft Auto games."

The inmate stated, "Defendants contributed to Plaintiff committing identity theft. Defendant's games show sex, drugs and violence which offends me."

Riches continued, "Defendants put me in prison. I face imminent danger from violent inmates who played Grand Theft Auto who will knock me out and take my gold Jesus cross."

FCI Williamsburg is a medium security prison that is currently home to 1,638 male inmates.

This isn't the first time that Riches has filed a lawsuit from prison. Riches sued suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick last year for "$63,000,000,000 billion dollars," alleging Vick had ties to Al Qaeda. He didn't win. He's also unsuccessfully sued Martha Stuart, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, President George W. Bush, Steve Jobs and Britney Spears, according to cited entries on Wikipedia.

Riches, a.k.a. 40948-018, is projected to be released in 2012, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' inmate locator.

That pretty funny



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

Can we say frivolous lawsuit, anyone?

First I laughed. Then I thought about him and so many other inmates that are probably in need of psychological help. Now I just feel bad about the U.S. prison system.

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

I know.  I don't get it either.  Why would he sue Steve Jobs and not Bill Gates?
