Sheep-man charged with murder escapes from prison!

Jose Luis Callisaya Diaz, an inmate who is accused of murder, disguised himself as a sheep, which allowed him to escape from prison, and then into the wild.

Despite this success, Diaz was eventually found by prison authorities, only to be brought back inside his pen (his cell).

This particular sequence took place on February 4, when he was in the prison of Chonchocoro in Bolivia, before putting on a sheep skin jacket.

Photos were captured of Diaz as a sheepskin, crawling on the ground in the long grass with a pair of jeans and that now infamous sheepskin jacket.

The 35-year-old certainly made the authorities laugh with his funny get-up, but he will face legal and disciplinary action.

Ryan Reynolds officially in the running to buy the Senators

Ryan Reynolds has joined the Remington Group (Remington Group) to participate in the race to buy the Ottawa Senators, according to a report filed by Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

https://twitter.com/SunGarrioch/status/1625304229840560129

Of course, the deep pocket in this case remains Christopher Bratty, the president of the Remington Group, who has been running a business specializing in real estate for 65 years.

Although the Canadian actor’s shares are small, he would play a big role in the organization, becoming the official poster boy, as well as being part of the team’s important decisions.

The Ottawa Senators need Reynolds to further enhance their brand, which is struggling in Ontario. The team needs to be on the map in Ontario, so Reynolds’ talent is a must.

The group’s primary goal would be for Ottawa to become world-renowned, and for the Sens to play directly in an amphitheatre in Ottawa (not Kanata).

Not to mention that the Remington Group dreams of bringing the Stanley Cup to Ottawa!

However, it is not yet won for this group since no less than 15 groups are in the running to acquire the Ottawa Senators.

But… Gary Bettman would like Reynolds to be one of the owners.
