Drunk man urinates outside in front of cop

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

Sunday was certainly not a day of rest for some local law offenders. Fort Payne Police arrested two people on Sunday for a few crimes of unusual circumstance.

Walter E. Moore, 48 of Lookout Mountain, Ga., was arrested on Sunday around 2 a.m. in the parking lot of J.T.’s Fish Market. He was charged with public lewdness and public intoxication.

According to Fort Payne Assistant Police Chief Michael Grant, Moore had come out of the restaurant to relieve himself. Apparently, Moore remembered to face away from the restaurant so other guests would not see his private parts but forgot to protect himself from the eyes of the people sitting at the intersection directly in front of him.

“The area was well lit and a cop just happened to be sitting at the intersection,” Grant said. “He saw the whole thing.”

Haha.. Poor guy.

Man visits probation officer in bank robbery clothes

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

A robber with a note hit a bank on U.S. 19 N Monday afternoon and got away before officers arrived. But Wednesday, Clearwater police officers were waiting for Anthony J. Russo when the 40-year-old man checked in with his probation officer not far from the police station, officials said.

“When he went to see his probation officer, he was wearing the same clothes (as) when he robbed the bank,” said Clearwater police spokesman Wayne Shelor.

Russo lives at 40 Bay Esplanade, Apt. 3, in Clearwater Beach. About 2:30 p.m. Monday, Shelor said, Russo went into a Wachovia Bank in the 25700 block of U.S. 19 N and handed a note to a teller demanding money.

Russo escaped, Shelor said, but he left behind fingerprints that officers used together with video surveillance to identify him.

The police officers learned that Russo was scheduled to visit his probation officer two days later. Around noon Wednesday, Russo checked in with the officer at a building at Lake Avenue and Park Street - about two blocks from the Clearwater police station.

Russo was charged with bank robbery and was being held at the Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail.

Drunk man let his 7 year old son drive

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

Meet Alfredo Martinez. While the Nevada man should be saluted for knowing that he was too drunk to get behind the wheel last night, he probably should not have tabbed his seven-year-old son as his designated driver.

Martinez, 37, was arrested after Reno cops spotted his car weaving across lanes and stopping suddenly.

When officers pulled over the vehicle before it could enter a highway, they found a plastered Martinez in the passenger seat and his son behind the wheel.

Martinez, pictured above in a mug shot snapped at the Washoe County lockup, directed the boy to drive him home because he was too drunk to do it himself, cops said. Martinez is facing a felony child endangerment rap.

Robbers Break Into Empty Bank

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

A gang of Romanian robbers broke into a bank’s headquarters in a daring overnight raid - only to find it empty.

The three criminals expected to hit the jackpot with their raid on the Nova Bank in Constanta city centre.

But they did not know that the bank was relocating to new premises and the building was empty.

Police said the gang broke into the building, which had been closed for renovation work, by forcing the main doors.

A police spokesman said: “The robbers thought they would make the hit of their lives but instead broke into an empty building.

“They couldn’t find anything to steal, not even some heating pipes they tried to remove from the walls.”

The robbers were seen by neighbours when they left the building empty-handed but police couldn’t catch them.

Officers said they have taken evidence from the scene and had already drawn up a list of suspects.

Ridiculous. That’s all that can be said about this.

Toy store owner robs bank with water gun

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

A struggling Austrian toyshop owner was arrested after he tried to rob a bank with one of his toy guns.

The 44-year-old, from Vienna, stormed into a local bank with a stocking over his head and a gun in his hand, and demanded clerks empty their tills.

But a security guard noticed the ‘weapon’ was a plastic water pistol and asked him to hand over the toy to avoid “an even bigger embarrassment”.

The would-be robber told police: “I was driven to this desperate deed after my toy shop went bankrupt.”

Poor Guy.

Police find Meth in Mans Prosthetic Leg

Friday, September 29th, 2006

Jay, Okla. (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies have arrested a Grove man on drug charges after finding crystal methamphetamine inside his prosthetic leg. Larry Clinton Harper, 64, was arrested at his business, Harper’s Used Cars and Body Shop, last week.

During a search, deputies found drugs inside a sock-like covering inside Harper’s prosthetic leg, said Delaware County Sheriff’s Capt. Larry Barnett.

“They just tumbled out, and he just laughed,” Barnett said. “He said he thought he was pulling the wool over our eyes, but we had the last laugh.”

The arrest followed successful drug buys from Harper’s business, Barnett said.

Haha.. Wow. Great hiding spot!
