Yahoo news is reporting that a man in Greensboro North Carolina was re-arrested moments after he was released from prison. Rodney Dwayne Valentine asked police for a ride to a local motel after he was released from prison, when police told him they would not give him a ride, he refused to leave and was re-arrested.

Rodney Dwayne Valentine had just been granted his freedom from the Rockingham County jail in northern North Carolina on Saturday morning. But when Valentine refused to leave the prison, police arrested him for trespassing and sent him back to his cell.

The News & Record of Greensboro reports that Valentine, 37, reportedly refused to leave the jail site, after authorities declined his request for a ride to a local motel. He had been in prison since May 22 on a charge of damage to personal property.

Officers reportedly suggested that Valentine simply take a cab to the hotel, but he allegedly refused.
