Lee Roy Poole-Smith, age 20 of Bethlehem barricaded himself in his room after police were called to arrest him after he allegedly assaulted his mother.
Back in the day, fugitives would stock their lairs with such necessities as food, drink, weapons, ammo, and some means of body waste disposal for those long stake-outs.
When Lee Roy "went to the mattresses" though, he did it in the 21st century way. Police found him chained to a floor-bolted chair with his trusty TV remote in his hand. "You'll never take me alive, coppers! And while you're trying, I'll keep up to date with the latest celebrity news from Access Hollywood." Lee Roy could survive a lengthy stake-out without food, water, or even a functional toilet, but nothing was going to keep him from "Monday Night RAW". After all, current champion Sheamus, "The Celtic Warrior" was defending his title against John Cena that night.
The police lacked chain cutters but they managed to dissemble the chair and hauled a still chained and seated Lee Roy to the pokey. There was no record of whether Lee Roy got to witness the exciting conclusion of the championship match wherein Randy "The Viper" Orton appeared out of nowhere and rendered both of the participants hors de combat. The Celtic Warrior retained his title by disquaification and John Cena is seething for revenge. Hopefully, Lee Roy's remote works on the prison TV as the saga continues on next week's RAW.
Actually, Lee Roy may be on to something. Connecting one's TV to the Internet would allow "ordering in" of all those stake-out supplies. The delivery people would be made-to-order hostages. Maybe a TV remote in hand is all that 21st century fugitives need. A remote and a good internet connection might be the bare necessities for the modern hold-out.
