Man breaks into bank to sleep, drinking involved

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) — Police in Ellensburg, Wash., say a man looking for a place to sleep broke into the basement of a bank, and – yes – he had been drinking.

Surveillance video shows the man breaking a basement window about 3 a.m. Saturday and leaving before 8 a.m.

Police tracked down the 21-year-old by Tuesday and arrested him at his home for investigation of second-degree burglary and malicious mischief.

Capt. Dan Hansberry says the man was intoxicated and doesn’t know why he went to the bank to snooze.

Man wanting ride to bar calls 911, arrested

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Again it only seems to happen in Florida.   I am going to assume this guy was not a rocket scientist and that he is closer to being a single celled amoeba, what a dolt!  Have a nice stay in the county lockup

OLDSMAR, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Florida man who called 911 claiming he’d been beaten and shot at was hoping the tale would get him a ride to a bar. Instead, 37-year-old Gregory J. Oras is facing charges of misusing the 911 system and battery of a law enforcement officer.

An arrest report says Oras called 911 three times before his arrest early Tuesday in Oldsmar, northwest of Tampa. He told the dispatcher he had a broken nose and bleeding ears, and claimed people were shooting at him.

Authorities say he was actually looking for a ride to another bar.

The report also says Oras kicked a Pinellas County sheriff’s deputy in the knees and a Taser was used to subdue him.

Online records show he is being held at the Pinellas County Jail but don’t indicate whether he has an attorney.

Police: Dad leaves boy and goes into strip club

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

So who exactly was being babysat here?  It seems to me the 5 year old was the more responsible of the two.  Maybe he should be charged with parental neglect for allowing this idiot out of the truck and into the strip bar.  I’d just love to have been a fly on the wall when he and his wife were alone.  You got some ‘splainin to do Lucy.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A man was arrested after police said he left his 5-year-old son in a tractor-trailer while he ducked into an Indianapolis strip club to drink. The 39-year-old was arrested at 1:15 a.m. Tuesday on child neglect and public intoxication charges after calling police to report his truck stolen and his child missing. Police said the man was too drunk to remember where he had parked.

They found the boy inside watching cartoons on a television inside the cab. The keys were in the ignition, and the doors were unlocked.

Police said the suspect put his son in jeopardy by leaving him exposed in a high crime area.

The man was taken to the Marion County jail, where his wife picked up him and the child.

Woman calls 911 to report herself as drunk driver

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Don’t mess with me, I am drunk, driving and not afraid to turn myself in.  This lady did just exactly that, talk about weird.

NEILSVILLE, Wis. (AP) — The call came into the 911 dispatcher: “I don’t want to hurt anybody. I’m drunk.” And with that, Mary Strey, 49, of Granton, reported herself as a drunken driver about three miles northeast of Neilsville in central Wisconsin.

Clark County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jim Backus said Monday that Strey’s call on Oct. 24 led deputies to cite her for misdemeanor drunken driving with a blood-alcohol level double the legal limit to drive. She makes her first court appearance Dec. 10.

Backus said drunken drivers reporting themselves is rare.

In the 911 call, Strey said she wanted to report a drunken driver and the dispatcher asked if she was behind the suspect vehicle. “I am them,” Strey said. She then followed the dispatcher’s advice to pull over and turn on her flashers, telling him she had been “drinking all night long.”
