I guess Mark Burgin is what might be called a ‘career criminal’ – on trial in Tennessee for robbery, when the court adjourned for lunch the cheeky bugger nipped out and robbed a nearby jewelry store of goods worth $45,000
Not a very bright criminal, however, as -
“the robbery was common knowledge around the courthouse“
Police waited until the judge had sentenced him for the 1st robbery, then arrested him for the 2nd
If you’re driving in Tennessee, you might want to avoid carrying any large amount of cash with you. Seems cops there are empowered to stop a motorist, search their car, and if they find a large some of money they can seize (steal) it on the grounds that they suspect it is ‘drug money’. You will then be sent on your way to continue your journey – without being charged with any offense – while the cops get to pocket your cash
A Texas teenager, Corey Webb, showed the ultimate ‘contempt of court’ when he decided to piss in a wastebasket during his trial on a charge of shooting at a police officer
CCTV footage captures the moment 2 masked men, one carrying a shotgun, attempted to rob a shop in Altadena but were chased off by the shop-owner’s chihuahua.
The Swedish police have trained a dog to sniff out sperm
The dog, Rapports Opus, spent a year being trained and has helped the police arrest a 23 yr old man on suspicion of rape after tracking traces of sperm from a park where a woman was attacked
And before anyone asks – I have no bloody idea how they trained the dog !!!
What do you do if you have a growth in your chest, two ruptured discs, and no job or money.
Well, if you are fortunate to live in the UK with it’s National Health Service, you toddle off to your local GP (General Practitioner) or report to the A&E dept of your local hospital and your needs will be attended to.
If you live in the USA, however, you may have to do what 59 year old Richard James Verone did. He walked into a North Carolina bank, told the teller he had a gun and demanded she hand over $1, then sat down and waited for the police to arrive and arrest him, so he could get free medical care while in prison
South African police are searching for an elderly woman who is preying on young boys (I know what you’re thinking – but no, it’s not our Julie )
The woman (described as a pensioner who walks with the aid of a walking stick) elicits the help of young men to help unload heavy bags from her car. Whilst they are doing so, a male accomplice approaches, threatens them with a gun and forces them into the car. They are then driven a short distance before being robbed and then dumped from the car.
I never suspected anything wicked about the old woman, said one disillusioned, and poorer young man who has hopefully learnt a valuable lesson from the experience, one which will stand him in good stead in later life – women (of all ages) are dangerous !!!
