A man in Texas apparently wanted to party with his friends so badly he staged his own kidnapping so his wife wouldnt give him a hard time about leaving the house. Now he faces criminal charges and, likely, an even angrier wife.

According to police, Rogelio Andaverde, 34, of Edinburg, in the Texas-Mexico border region, was with his wife at home when two masked men barged into their house carrying guns. They forced him from his home and his hysterical wife called police in a panic, according to the San Antonio Express-News.

We took this incident very serious because of the circumstances described to us by the wife, Hidalgo County Sheriff Guadalupe Trevio told the newspaper. People don't just barge into your house and kidnap you for the hell of it.

Dozens of law enforcement officers fanned out to search for Andaverde. A police helicopter was even sent out to look for him. But the investigation was going nowhere, and police officers started to become suspicious.

I looked at the guys and said, Do you really believe this? Trevio told The (McAllen) Monitor. Hes just a regular Joe, no criminal history anything. Its just not right.

Andaverde thought he had outsmarted everyone, police said. He casually returned home and said the kidnappers showed mercy and had set him free. But he later fessed up to investigators, police said, that it was all a ruse so he could go out for a night on the town with his drinking buddies.

We have people file false reports all the time, and we put them in jail for it, Trevio told the Express-News. But I've never had someone do it just to get out of the house.

Andaverde was charged with making a false report to police. He was released on $5,000 bail.
