.... Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Taken from our local paper.... ? At the airport in Medford, Ore., a man running late for his flight to Phoenix called in a phony bomb threat, hoping that would delay the flight long enough for him to get to the airport and catch the flight. ? In Saginaw, Mich., a police chief became angered when a man dressed in a Ronald McDonald outfit became involved in a traffic accident but refused to reveal his actual identity because that would have defied McDonald's rules. ? A man suspected of robbing a bank in Florence, Ore., was arrested after he walked up to the son of the bank president and told him he had to get out of town quickly, asking for quick directions to the bus station. ? In Gainesville, Fla., where a police officer showed up at a bachelorette party to question the bride-to-be about a pending investigation, partygoers thought he was the hired entertainment and even as he placed her under arrest, were screaming for him to finish "the arrest part" of his act and get on to "finally taking off all (his) clothes." ? A woman who became angered and beat her boyfriend over the head with her shoe was arrested after police in Brooklyn called the beating "especially brutal" because she wore a size 12. ? In Bristol Township, Pa., critics pointed out perhaps the candidates themselves needed to make education a priority after their campaign signs for a local school-board election encouraged voters to select only "Democrates" on the ballot. ? At a car-stereo installation center in Orem, Utah, a technician who called police after finding marijuana in a 19-year-old's car then got the man arrested on a second charge when he asked him if he knew why he had called police and the young man replied, "Because of the bicycle I stole?" ? In Aberdeen, Wash., a woman was found topless, hanging upside down from the ladder at the rear of a moving train, swinging on its bars while also singing country western songs. She admitted later to police she'd probably had too much to drink. ? A homeowner in Durham, N.C., angered by people trying to interfere with the sale of his 52-acre property, was ordered to alter four highway-sized signs with specific demands that he posted on the property. In accordance, they now read, "You started this ship" and "Keep the puck out." ? At the Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris, officials discovered thieves were using the airport's new security system to X-ray baggage as a way to know just which suitcases they wanted to rob. ? A New Orleans, La., man whose home was burning down, ducked behind an oak tree in his back yard to urinate as firefighters battled the blaze. He was arrested on lewd behavior charges. Explained Jeff Theisen: "I tried to tell the officer, 'Sir, my bathroom is burning. It's on fire.' But he didn't seem to care." ? School officials in Rochester, N.Y., discovered that a teacher's lunch -- dutifully brought to school each day in a Happy Meal bag by her husband -- wasn't actually lunch but instead enough heroin to get her through the afternoon. ? In Orem, Utah, a married couple was charged with child endangerment after their 1-year-old got out of the house at 3 a.m. and was spotted by a motorist who had to veer out of the way after seeing the child trying to crawl across a six-lane thoroughfare. Finally, our own monthly favorite: ? In Buffalo, N.Y., a man who discovered his pickup was on fire quickly wheeled into a do-it-yourself car wash only to discover he didn't have the proper change to work it. The truck consequently caught the three-bay car wash facility on fire and it burned to the ground. No one was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
