A 31-year-old Peruvian man named Juan Carlos Varillas Bazán was arrested with other 5 men for illegal gun possession, but he’s become internet famous for his strange choice of an official signature.
Instead of writing down his name or scribbling something that resembles it, or even doing an X where his name should be, Juan Carlos draws a little kitten. Cops in Huarmey were so surprised to see his signature when they processed him during a recent arrest that they couldn’t help but share it on social media, Debate reports.
First things first: Juan Carlos is being accused of illegal gun possession, but he insists he was arrested by mistake. The way he puts it, he only happened to drive the 5 men who actually had the illegal guns on their person, of which he had no idea.
While he was being processed to be taken into custody, the driver was printed and had to sign some legal papers. Cops were shocked to see that he signed them by doodling what looked like a kitten. Thinking he was mocking them, they asked to see his ID – on it, they saw the same kitten doodle.
They posted the photos to social media, where they went viral. Debate notes that the driver is now thinking of suing the police department for disclosing personal information without his permission, but he’s also talking to the media about how he got this unlikely signature.
Apparently, he started doing the doodle instead of his name when he was 16. At the time, he owned a cat that he loved very much, and this was his way of paying homage to it.
The signature is even registered in the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil or RENIEC), so it’s the real deal. They tried to talk him out of it, he says, but he stuck with it until he convinced them.
Apparently, it’s difficult to work with banks when your signature is a kitten doodle, Juan Carlos says.
