Yes, we’re (still) working our way through a pandemic… but vaccines are coming (more every day)… but you (still) can’t “shelter” stupid… look at what has happened to these guys and gals…
Some Odds & Ends
So, here’s a fun game: go to your favorite search engine, type in “Florida man” and your birthdate (e.g., “Florida man March 12”), and see what you get.
Boldly go where no drone has (probably) gone before…
Stop us if you’ve heard this one… In Juneau, Alaska, a man walks into a convenience store…
We’ve all perhaps suffered through official ID pictures that are less than flattering… but in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Peter Woods, 34, decided to embrace the unusual… commenting: “This was an opportunity for me to make a joke. If I’m going to look at my license for the next eight years, I might as well get a laugh out of it”… So, what did Peter do?
And now for the main “events”:
In Ocala, Florida, Robert Hobby, 41, and Marcus Reeves, 23, went on something of a “spree”… breaking into convenience stores, and stealing cigarettes and lottery tickets… and they did all of that brazenly in front of security cameras… but that isn’t what allowed law enforcement to track them down…
In Sanford, North Carolina, Sheila Renee Johns and an unnamed woman got into an argument over a laptop… at some point in the “discussion” things heated up… literally.
Near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, an unnamed couple was driving north on I-95 when… from a truck ahead of them, a couch fell from the truck… triggering a response from the driver, who swerved to avoid the tumbling piece of furniture… but subsequently lost control of the vehicle, hit the median, and rolled over… but that wasn’t the worst of the experience…
In Burbank, Washington, detectives finally tracked down a 400-pound playground slide that had been stolen from a playground… but how they did so… and where it was… is a little hard to believe…
In Indian River County, Florida, an unnamed 21-year-old man was pulled over after being spotted “dangerously maneuvering in between traffic”… and doing so as fast as 127 mph on Interstate 95… Asked why he was driving at that speed, he had a simple response… he was “listening to a song named ciento veinte”… and for those of you who don’t speak Spanish…(or who do, and don’t believe that explanation)…
In the North Central Region of Wisconsin, a state trooper pulled over a motorist in a pickup truck for “an equipment violation”… I’ll say…
In Berry Hill, Tennessee, Richard Ewing, 39, walked into a local MAPCO… with his hands in his pockets, but threatening that he held a gun, handed the clerk a note that said “QUICK AND EASY. GIVE ME THE CASH”… after which he proceeded to step behind the counter, grabbed cigarettes, cash and some lottery tickets… and then ran out to his getaway vehicle… a mini-van… pulled out onto the main road… without headlights… which drew the attention of a police officer who he pulled out directly in front of … and sped away at… 30 mph… but shortly thereafter pulled over… but not for the reason you might expect…
Have a GREAT weekend, folks! This is that weekend when many of us will be turning our clocks forward an hour—so, don’t forget!
