Drag Race Lands Man In Trouble With Law

(Hartford, Connecticut) Prosecutors say a video
shows a Connecticut correction officer running a 40-yard-dash in women's
clothing and high heels - at a time he had claimed he was too injured to work.
Garrett A. Dalton of Naugatuck has been charged
with workers compensation fraud. He's accused of taking part in a radio
station's contest for Hannah Montana concert tickets last year. Not only did he
have to dress in drag but he had to carry an egg on a spoon.
Authorities were alerted after someone saw Dalton
in a TV news report. Prosecutors say the 41-year-old collected more than $5,000
in workers' compensation after he reported a work-related injury in June.
Court documents do not list an attorney for
Dalton, and his phone number is unlisted. And no, he didn't win the contest.
