Overdue Fees!!!!

2010-05-24T16:45:00.000-07:00

New York City’s oldest library has issued a ledger of overdue fees. On that ledger is our first president, George Washington. If President Washington were alive today, he would have some hefty overdue fines. It appears that he checked out two books. One of the books was “Law of Nations” and the other was a volume of debates from “Britain’s House of Commons.” The books were due back on November 2 of 1789. Today, over 200 years later, the institution is willing to wave the late fees if they can only get the books back. I wish them luck with this endeavor.

Hide and Seek?

Police responded to a call that a robbery was in progress at a Maryland convenience store. When police arrived, they found a 20-year-old man dangling from the ventilation system. When the storeowner went to open the store up the morning of the call, he spotted a pair of feet dangling from the ceiling. After firefighters and police freed the 20-year-old man, he explained to cops that this was just a game of hide-and-seek gone wrong. However, then again, if he was really playing hide-and-seek and his friends did not find him, I guess that would make him a winner after all.

What Happens in the Trailer Park Doesn’t Always Stay in the Trailer Park

2010-05-24T16:42:00.000-07:00

So, what happens when you use alcohol to clean your bong and you accidentally spill the alcohol in the floor? Well, you typically go to light your bong to burn the excess alcohol out and then watch the fire trail that runs to the carpet and then quickly up the curtains.

A 30-year-old New Mexico man, who was out of his mind when police arrived, was arrested for allegedly using a marijuana bong to set his mobile home on fire.

The man acknowledged being distraught and suffering from a drug addiction.

One Potato, Two Potato, Three Potato, Four!!!!

There is news from Athens, Alabama as authorities have arrested a man who tried to disguise five ounces of cocaine as a baked potato.

When police searched the car, while it was sitting in a parking lot outside a restaurant, the man claimed that he did not have anything illegal. Investigators searched the car and found a carryout plate with chicken, rice, and what seemed to be a foil-wrapped potato. However, the potato was very white and did not have a skin, or even butter for that matter. The man gave the cops a fake name. We are guessing it was Mr. Potato Head. Nonetheless, as of today, he sits in jail.

Elmo the Drug Smuggler!!!

2010-05-24T16:40:00.001-07:00

Ronald Washington, a 33 year old from Uniontown Pennsylvania, is sitting in jail today on a $100,000 bond. His son, who was in kindergarten, took his marijuana stash to school in his Elmo backpack. Washington called his son’s school and asked if his son had arrived yet. When he was told his son had arrived, he informed the school secretary that he would be right down because he needed to retrieve something from the backpack very quickly.

This caused suspicion, and school officials searched his son’s backpack. They found a stash of nearly four ounces of marijuana, which is close to a quarter pound.

When Washington arrived at the school, troopers were waiting to arrest him. Now, he sits in jail.

That’s Not Grass!!!

In San Diego, Border authorities have arrested a man for trying to cross the border with two lawnmowers. The lawnmowers had bagging systems that were filled with a different type of grass. The grass was actually green ganja, better known as marijuana. He was trying to smuggle a total of 53 pounds across the border.

The unidentified driver was arrested and booked into San Diego county jail on suspicion of drug trafficking.

Chexting

2010-05-24T16:35:00.000-07:00

Tiger Woods introduced us to it, and Jesse James is also guilty as charged for being involved in today’s chexting era.

It’s a cross between sexting and texting, and it has gotten both stars into a heap of trouble.

Chexting has placed both Woods and James in scandals that have ruined their images by cheating on their wives and having affairs via text messaging.

Yahoo.com reports that “It’s lipstick on the cellular — digital proof that becomes evidence you’ve been unfaithful,’ says Peter Dedman of Predicto Mobile, the largest paid mobile community in America.”

However, James and Woods are not alone. Divorce rates are on the rise and part of the blame can be put on this digital profound convergence of the sinful “Chexting.”

As new technology continues to be unveiled, cheaters everywhere are becoming more creative in their ways of being unfaithful.

So beware of your significant other and their cell phones. Betrayal could be happening before your very eyes. Just keep in mind, they do offer software to revive deleted messages from cell phones.

Put the Money in the Bag, We Will Be There in 5

2010-04-03T11:34:00.000-07:00

We start out with a story about two idiots that decided to rob a bank. The first idiot said he would drive the car. The second, who I guess is lazy, decided to call ahead and tell the bank to hurry up and bag up all the money because they were on their way to rob them.

Police arrested 27-year-old Albert Bailey and an unidentified 16-year-old boy on robbery and threatening charges Tuesday afternoon at a People’s United Bank branch in Fairfield Connecticut.

I’m sure you have already guessed the ending to this story, but here is how it ended just in case you have not. The two suspects showed up at the bank about 10 minutes after making the phone call, only to be met by police and taken into custody. Just goes to show, some people are just not the sharpest knifes in the drawer.

He Broke into the Jail

There is a story coming your way from Miami Florida where a man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after he tried to break into the Brevard County Detention Center.

25 year old Sylvester Jiles had recently been released from jail following a manslaughter conviction. He feared for his life because he believed family members of the manslaughter victim was out to get him.

Therefore, he attempted to break back into the jail where he thought he would be safe. Most of the time you hear of people trying to break out of jail, not in.

For Sale: Stolen Merchandise

2010-04-03T11:33:00.001-07:00

News coming your way today from Kennewick, Washington, where a 17-year old burglar shows us just how stupid some people really are. This 17-year-old kid broke into Bella Office Furniture and then hung out on the property for roughly 5 hours. While enjoy his breaking and entering, he decided to hop on the store’s computer and look at some porn, and, of course, he had to check for notifications on his Myspace and Facebook pages. He even listed some of the stolen items to the World Wide Web as items for sale. Too bad for him, the cops checked the history on the computers and his login information sent the cops right to him.

The name of the 17 year old could not be released, yet he is charged with first degree burglary.

Detour To Heaven!!!

A New York man’s journey to the Pearly Gates was held up in New York City’s impound lot. Parking Police had a van towed for being parked illegally. The only problem was that the van was carrying a body. The van was parked outside Redden’s Funeral Home and was supposed transport the body to Newark for a flight.

When the driver of the van came back to where the van had been left, he thought someone had stolen the van with the cargo inside. It was not until 90 minutes later that he found out that it had been towed to an impound lot.

New York City waived the $185 release fee.

That’s Not the Bugs Bunny I Remembered!!!!

2010-04-03T11:32:00.001-07:00

Children in North Carolina are confused today. They are trying to figure out why someone would change the image of Bugs Bunny into a pink bunny. Even more so, they are curious as to why grown women were in compromised positions and saying things that they cannot understand. The children are asking these questions because Time Warner Cable screwed up in a very huge way.

“Young viewers of children’s television programs in North Carolina got a glimpse of something far more risque than their favorite cartoons, when a cable glitch broadcast two hours of the Playboy channel,” stated Yahoo.com.

“Due to a technical malfunction, some adult programs had been diverted on children’s networks,” Time Warner Cable vice president of public relations Alex Dudley told AFP on Wednesday.

“We sincerely apologize.”

The glitch happened between 6:15 and 8:15am on Tuesday on what was supposed to be the Kids on Demand and Preschool on Demand channels.

Time Warner Cable reported that parents had called in to complain and brought the problem to their attention.

Baby, is that you? NO!!!

A cold and drunk man broke into a Pittsburgh home Wednesday morning after being out all night drinking following a Jay-Z concert. It appears that at 5:30 a.m. a 33-year old male broke into the house and then climbed into the bed, unaware that he would be in the bed with the owner of the house.

The owner of the house, Frank Fontana, was not alarmed at first, because he thought it was a lady friend of his who had an extra set of keys to his house. It wasn’t until he asked if she was doing alright and heard a deep rusty voice say “No,” that he became alarmed. He claims he jumped out of the bed and grabbed a baseball bat and held the drunken man until police arrived.

The 33-year-old man faces a preliminary hearing on charges of criminal mischief and criminal trespass.

Well, This Doesn’t Smell Like Gas!!!

2010-04-03T11:30:00.000-07:00

When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home recently, he got much more than he had bargained for. Police caught a man next to a motor home trying to steal

gasoline. However, he had plugged his hose into the motor home’s sewage tank by mistake. I wonder if he figured out why it did not taste like gas.

Ronald McDonald Arrested For Pot

Police arrested Ronald McDonald, not the clown from McDonalds, but rather a real life person for possession of marijuana and allowing others to use drugs at his residence on Sunday.

According to police, officers responded to the 44-year-old’s residence after receiving a report of a suspicious odor. Outside McDonald’s residence, officers could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the residence.

This story would have been funny if it would have been Ronald McDonald the clown. Then we would have known what the Hamburglar was always after.

He Was Not Relieved After All.

A man from Montesano, Washington is dead after a freak accident. “Grays Harbor County sheriff’s Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.”

After family members arrived, they found him dead at the scene with his pants undone.

Apparently 50-year-old Roy Messenger needed to relieve himself and did so by urinating into the roadside ditch. The only problem was that when he hit the power pole, he had caused the live power line to fall into the ditch, which he urinated into. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body. Electrocution was the cause of death.

I Guess He Showed Them!!!

2010-04-03T11:24:00.000-07:00

An Ohio man bulldozed his $350,000 home to keep a bank from foreclosing on it. Terry Hoskins was tired of dealing with the bank and the IRS. The IRS had placed liens on his carpet store and commercial property and the bank claimed his house as collateral.

Hoskins owed $160,000 on the house. After hiring attorneys and arguing back and forth between both sides, Hoskins decided to get the last word so he bulldozed the house.

As of today, no charges are pending.

I Guess He Showed Them Too!!!

A teacher from Cliff, New Mexico taped over the wrong tape when he recorded a program off the history channel about the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.

He had left the video for his students to view with a substitute teacher whom was overseeing the class.

In the middle of the viewing, the program about the 1919 Treaty stopped, and porn began. Turns out the teacher had taped over one of his most prized possessions.

The Superintendent Dick Pool (what a great name) will not disclose if any action was taken against the teacher.

Being Kicked To The Curb In The Digital World!!!

With the help of Web 2.0 applications such as Facebook and MySpace, digital dumping is on the rise.

“Over one third of 2,000 people polled (34 percent) said they had ended a relationship by email, 13 percent had changed their status on Facebook without telling their partners and six percent had released the news unilaterally on Twitter” (Yahoo.com).

Yet, only two percent had broken up by text message.

“The rest had split up the old-fashioned way by face-to-face conversation (38 percent) and by telephone (eight percent)” (Yahoo.com).

Talk About Sticking The Landing!!!

2010-02-22T14:10:00.000-08:00

Take a moment with me here to breathe in slowly. As you exhale, clear your mind as we now envision the Olympics many years down the road. It is here we find men all gathered around their television sets watching with dedication as they support their nation is this years newest Olympic event.

As you look at the television to find out what this new sport is, you hear the announcer introducing team USA “And now team USA makes their way down to center stage where their team captain Jiggles is about to paint a pretty picture. Come down and gather round where you can congregate and appreciate this team’s dedication. Jiggles is performing her first of two songs”

An announcer describes that Jiggles looks beautiful wearing the stars and stripes as she performs to the Star Spangled Banner.

As of today, girls who go by the names of Cookie, Cinnamon, and Candy are glued to their television sets by day, and are mastering the art of their sport by night. Envisioning the day they can bring home gold for their country. These girls know how to train as they do it 5 hours a day and five nights a week. The pole is no longer looked at as being exclusive property of strip clubs, but now as a respectable and highly athletic event.

Many girls are petitioning for this sport but they still have a lot of work ahead of them. Other respected sports, such as squash and cricket have failed to make the Olympic cut.

MSNBC stated, “Hong Kong-based Ania Przeplasko, the founder of the International Pole Dancing Fitness Association, the sport’s fledgling supervisory body, believes Olympic recognition is only a matter of time and would be a victory for underappreciated sports worldwide.

“There will be a day when the Olympics see pole dancing as a sport,” she said. “The Olympic community needs to acknowledge the number of people doing pole fitness now. We’re shooting for 2012.””

It is already too late for any new sports to be added to the London Games. However, the IOC’s decision to end its support of exhibition sports after Barcelona has not completely closed the door on Olympic hopefuls looking for a way to showcase their skills

Pole dance advocates note that more unlikely sports have gotten the IOC’s nod such as tug-a-war.

So far, the petition has about 4,000 signatures.They are shooting for 5,000.

As far-fetched as this may seem, this reporter has to admit, what other sport out there could an athlete not only bring home gold for their country, but also numerous types of currency as their tip?

Stolen Meat Wagon!!!

2010-02-22T14:09:00.000-08:00

In Madison Wisconsin, authorities say a 24-year-old drunken man stole a vehicle. After stealing the vehicle, he drove it around the parking lot where he had stolen the vehicle from multiple times before being stopped and then taken into custody.

So what type of vehicle? It was none other than an ambulance, better known as the “Meat Wagon.” The best part of the story is that emergency responders were treating a patient in the back of the ambulance during the time of the theft. No one was hurt and the 24-year-old now awaits his day in court.

Wake up and Smell the Roses!!!!

This week, as flower companies everywhere prepare for Valentine’s Day, officials found 20 pounds of cocaine at the Amsterdam airport. The cocaine had been hidden in over 20,000 roses that had arrived from Latin America.

The drug was in cellophane packets that were hidden inside boxes containing the roses. Three people were taken into custody as well as the seized shipment.

It has to make you wonder what would have happened if one of the cellophane packs, had broken. What would have happened if some one somewhere had wanted to smell the roses?

Flyin High!!!

This Article is originally From The Pioneer

Odd news coming to us from up above, as 30-year-old Kinman Chan was flying with US Airways from Philadelphia to Los Angeles on Sunday when he began screaming in the restroom. He then fought the crew members who tried to get him to sit down.

The flight was then diverted to Pittsburgh International Airport for an emergency landing, where Chan was arrested and jailed until a federal magistrate freed him on bond Tuesday.

While being interrogated, Chan came clean as he blamed his outburst on medical marijuana cookies. It appears they just tasted so good that he ate too many. He was just so high that he had forgotten the reason that he felt like he was flying, was because he was actually flying.

After all, he was on a US Air Flight, where you can “Get on Board” with “Clear Sky’s Ahead” as “Together We Fly.”

Good Afternoon Officer what seems to be the problem!!!

A 61- one year old was pulled over for violating the high-occupancy lane of the Long Island Expressway. Turns out she was pulled over after a police officer realized that her passenger had no arms. After further examination, police discovered that her passenger was a mannequin.

The officer said the giveaway was the face. The mannequin was wearing sunglasses and had the sun visor down on a cloudy day.

When he stopped the vehicle, he found the mannequin fully dressed with a long dark wig, blazer, shirt and scarf.

The 61-year-old driver left with a $135 traffic fine and with her “not so cheap” date. -Until Next Time Take Care -BC

Class of 2010

2010-02-10T13:04:00.000-08:00

This Article is from The Pioneer

At Cypress Ridge High School in Texas, some students wore t-shirts that spelled out “C-L-A-S-S –o-f – 2-1-1-0”. They wore them in the front row of a group shot of more than 600 seniors. This led to the suspension of three students.

As it turns out, right before the camera was able to snap the photo, the letters “C” and “L” went missing in action, leaving behind an offensive yet humorous three letter word.

The school was not nearly as humored as the students were. The administration cited the school’s code of conduct and suspended the three students that wore the 3 letter word. Each student was also fined $150 to go towards retaking the photo. The students claim it was not their fault. It was letters “C” and “L” that should be punished.

So let this be a lesson to all that when pulling a prank, it has to be so well thought out, that after the damage is done that the innocent bystanders will receive the punishment for your actions. But then again, for the rest of your life, you will be known as the guy that when it comes to “Class” will always be minus the letters “C” and “L.”

Casper the Magic Cat

Did you hear about the cat in the UK? Every day it went to the bus stop, waited in line, and then rode the bus until being dropped back off at its stop.

This is true. The cats name is “Casper” and most everyone claimed that “Casper” was magical. The cat gained national attention for his daily adventures.

But Casper’s bus riding days came to an end last week. In his excitement to get to the bus, he forgot to look both ways before crossing the road and was killed by a hit and run driver in his hometown of Plymouth, England.

Casper was 12 years old.

Odd News from under the Boarder

In Mexico City the police are celebrating the rescue of 150 unharmed hostages following a car accident from a high speed chase. During the chase, the vehicle lost control and struck a tree. Two suspects were placed under arrest while a third suspect was able to escape.

So how in the world could they pack 150 hostages in one car?

Well, police in Mexico City stated “we were able to rescue the 150 hostages from the armed robbers and none of the hostages were harmed or injured, so we then turned the hostages whom were ferrets over to a veterinarian.”

This odd news reporter has no clue why anyone would ever want to steal a ferret, but I guess to each his own. Until Next Time -BC

I understand that drugs alter your mindset and at times cause you to make bad decisions. I am aware that marijuana can affect your memory, but even I was not aware that being high could make you plum stupid.

A 32-year-old man and 29-year old woman were arrested after calling the police to report that they were robbed, while they were high. Upon arrival the police found a trail of pot from the apartment door to the parking lot that the robbers had dropped on their getaway. The police found more inside their Wichita apartment late Monday night.

The couple was booked on suspicion of various drug charges, including selling drugs within 1,000 feet of a school.

Sexiest Man Alive

Peoples magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive was announced this week, and to my dismay, I was not even in the running this year. The crowning goes to none other than “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Depp, reclaiming a title he first won in 2003.

Past winners include Matt Damon in 2007, George Clooney in 2006, Matthew McConaughey in 2005, Jude Law in 2004, Ben Affleck in 2002, Pierce Brosnan in 2001 and Brad Pitt in 2000. Until next time-BC

Odd But Worthy Headlines!!!

2009-11-11T15:28:00.000-08:00

Taking a look at those odd but worthy headlines, first we travel down under where we find a man who shows us just how dumb some criminals can be. It is here we find a 35 year old man who was caught red handed as he tried to break into a shopping center.

Earlier in the night, he had already successfully broken into a pharmacy and stolen a bunch of prescription pills. Maybe he had taken a pill or two who knows, but none the less the reason the cops caught him was because as he was picking the lock he just fell asleep. All robbers should know better than taking naps on the job. It never looks good on your record. T

he man was charged with driving without a license, burglary, and attempted burglary.

I Am Not a Big Fan of That Picture

Next we travel to the UK where 23-year-old Matthew Maynard was wanted by police officers investigating a house burglary as part of a crackdown on crime. The police had the local newspaper print his mug shot as part of the public appeal to track him down.

We guess Maynard did not like his mug shot all that well, as he sent a picture of better quality to the newspaper. He asked if they would be kind enough to reprint it. The picture had him standing in front of a police van. They obligingly printed it on the front page. As of today he is still on the run, but now everyone can enjoy his sense of quality in photojournalism.

Money Can’t Buy Good Grades?

Next we will jump back to North Carolina where we ask the question, “Who said money can’t buy good grades?” A middle school in North Carolina is selling test scores to students in a bid to raise money. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that “a parent advisory council at Rosewood Middle School in Goldsboro came up with the fundraising plan after last year’s chocolate sale flopped.”

The school will sell 20 test points to students for $20.

Now if we could only talk some college professors into following in their footsteps.

Just picture it. Today is the day that you have been waiting for since school began. This year you are in the fourth grade and you can bring your dad to school and show him off on Bring Your Dad to School day. You have been bragging for weeks to all the kids about how cool of a job your dad has, after all how many parents can be a wildlife officer that gets to work with wild animals like alligators and fight them and stuff?

Your dad walks in the class room and asks the teacher if the class can come to the parking lot and see his wild life truck for his presentation. So your teacher instructs the class to make their way to the door quietly, as your father will walk the class to the parking lot to drool over his wild life truck. You can barely wait, you are so excited.

After you get outside, you start hearing your classmates talk about how cool your dad is. Then your dad informs the class that he has an extra surprise. “Today class I have brought with me a real life alligator, to give you an idea of the animals I work with and how dangerous my job is. I will have to ask that you all back away from the truck. After you get a back I will drop the tailgate so you all can see the alligator.”

How great is this? Your dad has gone above the call of duty. He brought a real live alligator to school. You are sure to gain some popularity points. Then your dad drops the tailgate and you hear, “Ohh no, where did he go?! Nobody panic.”

The good news is that officials from Panama City Florida believe that they have found the alligator that escaped from the wildlife officer who brought the animal to his child’s school for show and tell.

Stan Kirkland, spokesman for the Florida wildlife commission, says officials think that the 5-foot alligator is in a Panhandle pond.

Searchers had to comb through a wooded area surrounding the school after the alligator jumped out of the man’s vehicle with its mouth taped shut.

Kirkland says alligators have “amazing” jumping ability and that made it easy for it to escape.

The great news is no one got hurt. The bad news is your dad is no longer welcome at school and from this day forward you are referred to as “Lacoste.” You dread having to wear polo shirts to school and behind your back your hear people talking as if they are the crocodile hunter.

It Makes You Wanna Flip Monkey!!!!

2009-11-02T14:43:00.000-08:00

This Article is originally From The Pioneer

At one point or another in life we have all heard the rumors and the speculation that man and primate could be closer to one another than we ever thought or imagined. Some people think this is crazy talk while others seem to feel as if this is the way of reality. Whatever you believe, just think what if?

Have you ever been to the zoo and stood in awe at the monkey exhibit? Here you will find primates who have been taken out of their habitat and brought in for your pure entertainment and education. It is here that you can witness one of the craziest things you will ever set your eyes on. The monkey belting out a scream at the top of his lungs as he poops in his hand, and within the blink of an eye, throws it like a fast ball at whomever and whatever it likes. It is at this moment you crack a smile in disgust, but at the same time questioning what if.

How cool would it be to just scream at the top of your lungs and then flip monkey on somebody? Really, take a moment and just envision it.

This brings us to Weusi McGowan, who was recently being held on trial for a home-invasion robbery. McGowan had asked for a mistrial because he believed jurors had seen him in restraints when he entered the courtroom.

McGowan’s attorneys were trying for the mistrial, stating that their client suffered from mental illness.

Several days after his request was denied McGowan literally flipped monkey in the court room, as he pulled out a bag of excrement he had hidden in his clothing, rubbed it on his lawyer and then flung it at the jury.

It turns out that, a person throwing feces is not nearly as amusing as a monkey throwing feces, as the judge sentenced McGowan to 31 years in prison.

And One For the Boot!!!!

In Brussels Belgium they had battled over the case of the missing shoe. Police said that a shoe store reported that a man had entered a store and stolen one shoe. This led the police to look for an obvious suspect; a man whom had only one leg. Police reported that the shoe was returned back to the original store.

The suspect, a Russian asylum seeker, faces possible charges and was handed over to judicial authorities.

The auctioneer said the hair was given to Pepper too be mailed out to Presley fans. No DNA test was carried out on the hair, but the auctioneer quoted “an expert in celebrity hair authentication,” John Reznikoff, stated it matched the Elvis hair he has in his collection.

No details of the winning bidder were immediately available. Nevertheless, just know if you ever enter as house and you see a lock of hair on the coffee table, you may or may not be in the presence of a hunk a hunk of dead man’s hair.

In Dumber News

In Reno Nevada, a 50-year-old man was stopped for drinking and driving for the third time in less than three weeks.

Reno Police Sgt. Tom Robinson said the man was stopped after a concerned citizen alerted police about his erratic driving. He was then sent back to jail for a third time.

So what does it take to get sentenced to two years probation, a psychological evaluation and community service?

A Portland man attacked his ex-girlfriend, after she broke up with him. Sarah Harris had broken up with 27 year old Donald Earl Fite III by phone. When she returned to her Portland apartment she found him lying on her bed pleading to work things out.

Harris tried to leave, but Fite shoved her against a wall, grabbed her hair and tossed her against a bathtub. Harris broke away and when she returned with a police officer she found her bright purple betta fish named “DeLorean” on the floor with a knife through it.

According to court records, Fite quickly admitted killing the fish, telling police: “If she can’t have me, then she can’t have the fish.”

Fite pleaded guilty to animal abuse and domestic violence assault.

The Associated Press reported that “Fite’s attorney, Tom Macnair, said that killing the fish was a “very low point” in his client’s life.”He is absolutely mortified and ashamed about what he did to the fish,” MacNair said in Multnomah County Circuit Court.”

And Just when you Thought Things Couldn’t get Weirder!!!!

The Associated Press also stated “Prosecutor Eric Zimmerman told Judge Eric Bergstrom that Harris plans to get a memorial tattoo of the fish and wanted Fite to pay for it. Bergstrom, however, declined to make Fite pay restitution for the tattoo.”

The judge put a restraining order against Fite ordering him to stay away from Harris, but said he could still have contact with fish.

Woman calls police to report theft:

Next let’s travel to Brant Township, Michigan where we learn that they are limits to being a crime victim.

A 54-year-old woman was arrested early Sunday after reporting two men had broken into her home in Brant Township.

The Associated Press reported that “Detective Sgt. Randy F. Pfau said the woman told deputies the men fled after one of them demanded her marijuana plants. He said the woman then was booked on charges of manufacturing and delivering marijuana.”

However she was not charged for being stupid. Until Next time -BC

The question all students should be asking themselves is: Where do I want to work after college? If you are a hotheaded student like myself and think that at times in life you may question your superior or even cuss at them, Spain is your answer to having the hope of keeping your job.

The Associated Press noted that: “A court in Barcelona says insulting your boss with one particularly foul obscenity is not grounds for dismissal, insisting the slight is common in arguments in Spain and not that big a deal.”

An employee was unhappy with his paycheck and was disputing his case with his superior when things got a little heated. Some of the timeless four letter words were released as vocal ammunition. The boss was not going to take any more verbal abuse, so he fired the employee on the spot.

The employee took his ordeal to the higher powers who decided in his favor. The employer has the option to give the employee his job back or pay him $9,472 in compensation. It is not clear which choice the employer picked.

Just a Little Joy Ride!!!!!

In odd news coming out of Ocala Florida, authorities say a man was charged with driving under the influence while bearing his all in his birthday suit.

The Associated Press stated that a “Marion County deputy was driving on Interstate 75 early Tuesday when he spotted what appeared to be a naked man on a motorcycle. The deputy caught up with 45-year-old J. Dante Krauss at a red light and stopped him.”

It turns out that Krauss was a man of few words and would not tell the officer where he was coming from or where he was headed. He admitted he had been drinking and blew a .08 which was enough to allow him to also ride naked on the inside of a cop car.

“Kids These Days”

In Wyoming, police say that a large SUV led officers on a high speed chase reaching speeds of 100 mph. The chase started about 3 A.M., Tuesday central Wyoming, and ended 50 miles later.

Turns out the driver decided it would be a nice night to get all boozed up and head out for a midnight ride. The catch though was that the driver was an 11-year old boy.

After being chased the boy ditched the vehicle, jumped into a lake and began swimming. He eventually returned to shore where police collared him.

“Love Hurts”

A 52- year old woman told her significant other that she wasn’t in the mood; and she meant it. The 52-year old woman was booked Thursday morning with domestic battery after telling police that she cut her boyfriend for trying to have sex with her.

The Associated Press reported that “the woman’s boyfriend claimed she cut him with a knife when they got into an argument, and police saw a 4-inch gash on his left arm along with several small cuts and scratches.”

I am guessing the moral to this story is no means no.

“When you got to go, you got to go”

A woman in New Hampshire accompanied her companion to the local police station to help resolve a 12-year- old traffic citation. She asked police if she could use their restroom but they denied her request.

So she left and evidently really had to go. So she popped a squat on the sidewalk right outside the police station and right across from a daycare. The 28-year-old woman was charged with indecent exposure after the incident.

Until next time-BC
