If you think you’ve had a bad week, just remember – it could have been worse. Check out what happened to these guys (and gals)…
In Madison, Alabama, William Alexander Eckstein, 21, had three friends visiting the home he shared with his parents one recent Friday night… At some point William was handling his (legally owned) gun… when a shot was fired around 4:15 a.m…. and yes, hit someone… Police arrived to investigate… but they’ve been having trouble getting to the exact origins of what transpired and why…
In Tacoma, Washington, an unnamed family’s yard caught fire… but not from your customary sources (if there is such a thing with regard to yard fires)…
In Lemon Grove, California, motorists pulling up to the 4-way intersection of Lincoln and Washington Streets here could be forgiven some confusion at this particular road sign…
In Decatur, Alabama, Jeremy Antonio Chatmon, 34, was arrested recently… on four counts of first-degree possession of a forged instrument… literally paying for items at yard sales with counterfeit $100 bills… but we’re telling his story here because of his unusual mug shot.
In West Vancouver, Canada, an unnamed man was cruising in his 2019 McLaren 600LT supercar (base price about $260,000)… and was clocked by police travelling (flying?) 161 km/h in a 90 km/h zone (that’s approximately 100 mph in a 55 mph zone)… In fairness, he hadn’t had the car that long…
In Tampa, Florida, Jonathan Ortiz, 29, was spotted by a law enforcement officer… in Beacon Meadows Park here… after the park was closed… “actively trying to catch a wild Pokemon”… while playing Pokemon Go… but, in view of his other activities at the time, he won’t be “passing” go…
And finally, in Winona, Minnesota, an unnamed bartender at Steiny’s Bar here had just finished cashing out for the night… stepped outside with a few others for a smoke… when two men wearing all black walked up… worse, their faces were covered in bandanas and ski masks… one also had his hand in a paper bag… raised it menacingly, and directed her to go back in the bar… but as they were close to making their getaway, that bag got knocked out of his hand, and the would-be victims of the crime found out that the bag contained a “weapon” of a very unusual sort…
Have a GREAT weekend, folks!
