A 51-year-old Swedish inmate broke out of prison in November "because he had a toothache and wanted to go the dentist," officials said, the AFP reported Saturday.
The inmate, who was scheduled to be released the next day anyway, turned himself into police after getting his tooth treated. His sentence -- originally one month -- was only increased by one day.
The man told Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter he had been complaining to prison officials about the pain for four days and finally busted out because he "just couldn't stand it," according to a translation by The Local.
