'Wasn't worth it. I'm an idiot': Comedian hauled to police station after half-baked idea of driving with an iPhone-shaped cookie backfires

Los Angeles jokester Randy Liedtke thought it would be funny to try to get a cop to pull him over with the edible iPhone

'Then I just take a bite and ask if cookies are against the law,' he wrote

The joke backfired when the angry officer discovered Liedtke's warrant for unpaid parking tickets and hauled him away

A Los Angeles comedian who baked iPhone cookies in order to fool cops into pulling him over got his wish, but he also got taken downtown.

Randy Liedtke took his joke on the road Wednesday, driving around and tweeting about it until a cop finally pulled him over.

Then his joke took an unexpected turn as the angry officer took him in because of a warrant he had for unpaid parking tickets.

Half-baked: Randy Liedtke thought it would be funny to bake iPhone shaped cookes and try to get pulled over for talking on one while driving in Los Angeles

‘Wasn't worth it. I'm an idiot,’ he tweeted Wednesday night. ‘No more iPhone Cookies.’

The tweet was accompanied by a photo of the bearded, red-haired jokester holding up a ticket and looking very sorry for what he did.

But he only had himself to blame.

‘Baked some iPhone cookies to trick cops into pulling me over,’ he wrote on Tumblr before his ill-fated outing. ‘Then I just take a bite and ask if cookies are against the law.’

Seemed funny at the time: Liedtke live tweeted his sugary experiment, even when it took a very unexpected turn

How could anything have gone wrong?

Liedtke live tweeted his sugary experiment from start to finish.

‘Just saw a police car going the other way. Gonna turn around and see if I can catch up and drive by it. #iphonecookie,’ he wrote.

Took a bite out of the cookie. He was so confused and angry. Told me to hold tight, he is back in his car now. — Randy Liedtke (@randyliedtke) December 11, 2013

Oops: The angry cop got the last laugh when he discovered the comedian had a warrant for unpaid parking tickets

Apparently without thinking this might enrage an officer of the law, he continued and got his wish when the cop pulled him over.

‘Took a bite out of the cookie. He was so confused and angry. Told me to hold tight, he is back in his car now,’ he’d soon tweet.

When the officer came back, he’d likely replaced his scowl with a grin.

‘Says I have a warrant for unpaid parking tickets? Making me go with him,’ he tweeted.

In the end, Liedtke got his funny joke, but also slapped with a ticket.
