For the second time in three weeks, an American has been
arrested in Brazil for flying the fickle finger of... well, you
know... in the face of officials who were photographing and
fingerprinting him.
New Jersey resident Douglas Skolnik, 55, didn't get to see the
sights with the rest of his tour group in Foz de Iguacu last week.
Instead, he was languishing in a Brazilian jail after being
arrested for "showing disrespect" to authorities. Skolnik was
jailed, then released, but ordered not to leave his hotel. He can't
leave Brazil until he pays a $17,200 fine.
