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 Warrenton, Oregon, apparently Pokemon Go is still, well – going… and it perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise that someone would be playing while driving… or that law enforcement might stop to check out why a vehicle was pulled over (thankfully) as the driver was playing… What you might be surprised at is how many different phones he was playing on while being pulled over…
In Winfield, Missouri, an unnamed man received a text from an unnamed personage… inviting him to “the game” Friday evening… with the promise of a free hot dog and soda… Now the man didn’t recognize the number, and so responded, “I would love to go to the game tonight! Sadly I think you have the wrong number”… at which point, the unidentified texter insisted they did know each other, recalling a time they went to another game “With Shari & Diana we got high together girl! Get dressed & I will pick you up in the truck remember”… at which point, the unnamed man revealed his occupation…
Over the years, we’ve recorded a number of strange (and generally inappropriate) uses for 911… from Anchorage, Alaska, the latest…
Everyone knows you shouldn’t text and drive… well, in Berlin, Massachusetts, an unnamed motorist didn’t heed that warning… leading to her swerving off the road, rolling over, and taking out a telephone pole… miraculously, she escaped major injuries… and yes, believe it or not, we have a video…
In Chesapeake, Virginia, an as yet unnamed individual robbed a 7-Eleven here… with a fairly unorthodox way of obscuring his identity…
Seems like everywhere you go these days, people are walking around with their headphones on, dangerously oblivious to their surroundings… even in the Great Smokey Mountains…
In Butler, Pennsylvania, Marc Latimore, 28, went to use a credit card to purchase a cellphone for $200 at the Metro PCs store here… Now, as it turns out the credit card wasn’t his… and, in fact, it was a card he had stolen… and so, he probably shouldn’t have been quite so forthcoming when he signed the receipt…
And finally, in Clinton, Iowa, a deputy sheriff clocked a 1998 grey Buick Century exceeding the speed limit… gave chase… only to have the driver speed off, and run a red light… While that pursuit was in progress, dispatchers received a 911 call from Rachel Thornburg, 20, who reported that her car had just been stolen… and as it turns out, her car was a 1998 grey Buick Century… The pursuit continued for some time (and distance), but eventually the Iowa State Patrol was able to successfully deploy Stop Sticks that flattened the tires of the aforementioned Buick… Guess who was driving?
Have a GREAT weekend, folks!
