TGIF. No, Really.

Think you’ve had a bad week? It could have been worse. Check out what happened to these guys… In Detroit, Michigan, Kai Xu, 27, was caught smuggling items across the U.S. border into Canada. No, not drugs, though he was spotted due to some irregularly shaped bulges under his sweatpants on both his legs. Let’s just say it was something of a “shell” game. In Tempe, Arizona, a police officer was making his way back to headquarters when his license plate reader notified him that a reported stolen vehicle had just passed him… he followed the vehicle… which pulled up in front of the station… no, he wasn’t turning himself in. In Springfield, Missouri, John E. Julian, 48, was transported by helicopter to Mercy Hospital here following a motorcycle accident in Benton County, Arkansas. However, while hospital staff was undressing John to treat his wounds, they found a “large amount of narcotics” on him… oh, but that was nothing compared with what the CT scan discovered… In Bay City, Michigan, Damon Matthews, 19, held up a convenience store here armed with a butcher knife and wearing a black ski mask around 3:00 a.m.…making his getaway on foot with about $35 and several packs of Newport cigarettes… not that his mask did much to obscure a much more telling physical attribute. In Deyang, China, Wu Chen, 67, who distrusted financial institutions, decided to bury his life savings… When he went to retrieve it five years later, he discovered that his savings were gone. But not in the way you might imagine. In Niagara, Ontario, Scott Heron, 42, was recently found guilty of six charges, including customs offenses. Now Scott, who was attempting to smuggle over $200,000 worth of product, worked for the Niagara Regional Police. And no, not drugs. The good news about your bumper-to-bumper traffic commute. And finally, here’s a story sure to send a chill up Santa’s spine. Have a great weekend, folks!
