TGIF. No, Really.

Think you’ve had a bad week? It could have been worse. Check out what happened to these guys (and gals)… In Chicago, Illinois, Jordan Margolis, 61, fights crime in a most unusual way… and that has gotten him slapped with 36 felony counts… and accused of stealing more than $1.1 million from nearly a dozen clients… that he claims was “in part to pay expenses connected to”…. his alter ego. In Logan Township, Pennsylvania, Dustin Beckwith, Aric Beckwith, Daniel Johnson and Edward Perino have all been charged with calling 911… to report fires… false fires…. five times… But you’ll never guess why they’re making those calls… In Hudson, New York, John Caltabiano, 49, applied for disability benefits after losing his sight in a workplace accident at a cement company in 2006… after which he claimed he couldn’t drive, cook for himself, exercise at the gym, move around his house or even shave without help… indeed, he was well on his way to collecting $1.3 million in benefits… until this turned up… In Mount Healthy, Ohio, Destiny Janee Watson, 21, found herself unable to come up with the funds to pay her $20.30 bill at a Gold Star Chili restaurant here… this is not how to get out of paying the tab… And finally, in Kochville Township, Michigan, Nicholas Fuhst, 18, strolled into the local Hooters here… sat down at the bar… and told an employee he was an undercover police officer… who was looking for suspects in a crime he was investigating… and that he needed the names of employees at the restaurant… Nicholas was apparently convincing… or intimidating… enough that an employee wrote down several names and gave him the list… Nicholas then departed… although his mode of transportation should have served notice that he wasn’t all that he purported to be… Have a great weekend, folks!
