Takeru Kobayashi, hot dog eating extraordinaire, was arrested July 4th at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island.
Apparently, Kobayashi was in the crowd wearing a "Free Kobi" shirt along with his support group when he tried to come up on the stage and enter the contest without permission. The NYPD gladly arrested him and carted off the Asian hot-dog eating man to the slammer. He was released the following day on bail and is due back in court on August 5th.
Meanwhile, Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, Kobayashi's rival and three-time defending champion, won his fourth straight "Mustard Belt" (I'm not making this stuff up) by gorging himself with 54 hot dogs and buns.
Below is a video of Kobayashi getting arrested. I have to say I'm surprised how feminine he looks:
