TGIF. No, Really.

TGIF

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 Mahwah, New Jersey, John Roth had so much to drink at an office party (held at a co-worker’s house) that he took off his pants and passed out in her bed… but, considering his position it was all the more awkward… 

In Lincoln, Nebraska, officers arrived at the home of John Thompson III, 19, who had two outstanding warrants… well, to be more precise, they arrived at his mom’s house… though she told them he was not there… at which point, they asked – and received – permission to search the house… Guess what they found? 

Near Winhall, Vermont, Frederick P. Brechter, 59, had had a bit too much to drink… and went driving when he shouldn’t have… and, as it turns out, where  he shouldn’t have… 

In Largo, Florida, Sylvia Shumaker, 69, apparently has a lot of emergencies in her life… and in her marriage… but 911 isn’t the place to go… 

In Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, an unnamed would-be burglar smashed the glass of the front door of the Cell Clinic here… and then managed to push through a security gate… at least after the gate bows and flexes… allowing him to slide underneath… and in with the merchandise… now, this activity sets off alarms… and he goes to make his escape… and then… 

In Lafayette, Indiana, Shawn Yoakum, 42, went to rob the Village Pantry here… pulled a knife and demanded money from the two convenience store clerks… who closed the protective glass that surrounds the checkout area… making it impossible for Shawn to harm the clerks… so he left… but identifying him for police was remarkably easy

And finally, near Gallup, New Mexico, Madelin Iraheta Coreas was spotted around 2 a.m. nearly hitting a police officer head-on at an I-40 off-ramp… which forced the officer to swerve off the road to get out of the way… which led to the officer pursuing Madelin… at speeds of up to 120 mph on the icy interstate… which led to Madelin spinning out across the median and crashing into a pickup truck… so what explanation did Madelin offer for her behavior? 

Have a great Super Bowl weekend, folks! Don’t forget that, ahead of the big game, we’ll get Punxsutawney Phil’s winter forecast
