Drunk German wets bed, sets fire to apartment trying to dry it

BERLIN - A German man drank too much, wet his bed and set fire to his apartment while trying to dry his bedding, police in the western town of Muelheim said on Monday.

“He was too drunk to go to the toilet,” said a police spokesman. “The next morning he put a switched-on hair dryer on the bed to dry it and left the apartment.” When the 60-year-old returned, his home and belongings were in flames.

Firemen eventually put out the blaze.
