Police said that when they pulled the 54-year-old over in Brookfield Aug. 13, he complained he was uncomfortable in his clothes because he had spent a sweltering day at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Monday, February 8th, 2010

There’s nothing like getting busted for a crime when the reality is, stupidity should be the crime.   This guy needs some help or he’ll never make it on the new Fox show “Are you smarter than a toddler?”

FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Authorities said a man accused of stealing a car then reporting it stolen remains in custody after telling police he was robbed at gunpoint while trying to buy crack cocaine with a credit card.

Police reports indicated the vehicle was previously stolen out of Lapeer, about 50 miles north-northwest of Detroit.

The suspect is being lodged at the Genesee County Jail.

No further details were released.

Authorities say man climbed over fence to try and break into Oregon jail

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

I say if you are going to commit a crime why not do it right at the police station.   It saves time for them hunting you down and you already know the area.   What a doofus!

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — Police said a man climbed over a fence and tried to break into the Jackson County Jail. Medford Police Lt. Bob Hansen said that at about 4:10 a.m. Monday, jail officials spotted a man scaling the fence around an area where officers unload potential prisoners and take them inside. The officials called police.

Officers said the 28-year-old man was distraught and said he had been drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana. He told officers he was trying to get help at the jail and that when he didn’t get an answer at the front entrance, he decided to go around back.

The Mail Tribune reported that police cited the man for disorderly conduct and trespassing. He was taken to the county’s sobering center and referred for mental health services.

Cops: Woman claims white powder came from doughnut

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I have to give this lady credit though.  She get’s pulled over by police and pretends the white powder on her nose is from a donut.  She’s lucky the police didn’t eat her on the spot!   Mmmmmm Donuts!

MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — East Tennessee police said a Knoxville woman who was later arrested for cocaine possession initially told an officer that she had been eating a powdered doughnut. The Maryville Daily Times reported that a 21-year-old woman was arrested on Thursday and charged with possession of a Schedule II substance with intent to sell or deliver. She was also cited for driving on a suspended driver’s license, driving without proof of insurance, failure to maintain her lane of traffic and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to an Alcoa police report, a field test on the substance indicated that the white powder she put in her mouth as an officer approached the car was cocaine, not a sugary pastry.

She was being held in the Blount County Jail on a $12,250 bond pending a court hearing on Monday.
