The one where Ross had an alibi: Beer thief suspect who looked like 'Friends' star arrested
The one where Ross had an alibi.
Police in an England town said they arrested a 36-year-old man who is suspected of stealing beer from a store in September.
Social media users have suggested the man looked a lot like "Friends" star David Schwimmer.
Blackpool, England, police indicating they had arrested a man who, they said, they were interested in speaking with in connection to a theft at a restaurant in September.
Police thanked Schwimmer for "seeing the funny side of our appeal."
Social media users wasted no time chiming in again.
"Did they arrest him in Central Perk?" one commenter wrote.
"When called upon to help, did [police] reply by saying, 'I'll be there for you?'" another comment read.
Less than an hour after the department's initial post in October, the police had to clarify that it had investigated and confirmed that Schwimmer, who starred as Ross Geller in the popular '90s sitcom "Friends," was indeed in America.
"We have investigated this matter thoroughly and have confirmed that David Schwimmer was in America on this date," the department wrote at the time.
Their response came after hundreds of comments poured in, many of which made jokes tying in the popular NBC show.
Schwimmer last month posted a short video spoofing the incident.
"Officers, I swear it wasn't me. As you can see, I was in New York. To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation," .
Fans flooded the police department's post with several "Friends"-related jokes.
"I was going to read the report for this but it was 18 pages... FRONT AND BACK!" one user wrote, with an obvious nod to a 1997 episode in which Rachel wrote Ross an 18-page letter (front and back!) about their relationship.
One user channeled Ross' friend Chandler Bing with, "Could he BE any more like Ross?"
Other comments made references to the show's theme song.
"You would think someone would be there for him when the rain starts to fall," one user wrote.
Schwimmer returned to television this fall as a guest star on the second season of NBC's reboot of "Will & Grace." He stars as Noah, the infamous West Side Curmudgeon, whose relationship with Grace, played by Debra Messing, grows after a cold start.
