He was in prison for two months and outgrew his pants? Sounds like he was eating better in the joint.

Maybe it was Bruce Banner. He like his pants, "más stretchy."

The former prisoner said he was able to find a ride to
Trollhattan
while wearing only his shirt, underwear and socks.
Really? Trollhattan? Are we sure this isn't a made up story?

Either that or the dude found out he needed growth hormone therapy and got treated.

It's real. Check it out:
Trollhättan (Swedish pronunciation: [trɔlhɛtan]) is a city and the seat of Trollhättan Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden with 44,498 inhabitants in 2005.[1] It is located 75 km north of Sweden's second-largest city, Gothenburg.
Of course, ALL of that sounds like it's located in Middle Earth, so you tell me.

Good thing, at least, that he didn't outgrow his underwear.

At least it probably isn't very cold in Trollhattan, Sweden in the middle of January.

When I was picked up for intoxication I was wearing just board shorts and shoes. My shoes (and cell phone) didn't make it to the lock-up. I seriously froze my ass off all night and when they released me the next morning I was in the middle of downtown wearing just board shorts; I had a hard time convincing a cab driver to give me a ride back home. Being locked up totally sucks balls, btw.

Ah, reminds me of the time that I was released from the joint in Sweden's Trollhatten Maximum Security Prison this last December, in my underwear, found a ride into town, bought some shoes and pants in 34"/34", and just kept on truckin'! Couldn't have done that in a free country like the United States, eh?

Wow, it reaally sucks when you can't prison guards not to steal your pants and shoes. I hope he didn't lose anything else their too.

Probably an alcoholic or meth head who never ate when he had his drugs.

Similar situation: Released at 2am into the December cold (I think it was down to 6 degrees with the wind chill) without enough time to put the laces back in my shoes, no cab called (because they literally walked me down a hallway to the door and said "Go," lying to me about an officer parked outside who could call me a cab), I was without my cell (because, helpfully, THEY LEAVE IT IN YOUR CAR if you get arrested during a traffic stop - and wouldn't you know it, impound is only open during business hours), and left to walk through the courthouse district (are they ever NOT shiatty neighborhoods filled with gun/pawn shops and bail bondsmen?) for a few miles until I found a 7-11 where the clerk broke with company policy and let me use the phone to call a cab (he also let me hang out in the store until it arrived).
At least I had pants, though.

If this was America he would have been immediately re-arrested and made to register as a sex offender for life.
