Woman who stole gas claimed to be gov’s wife

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I guess if you are a thief you may as well just add liar to the resume too.   I am guessing it won’t be long till thay catch this cheeto and gas stealing liar.   Good luck with that in court lady!

POOLER, Ga. (AP) — Police say a woman who stole fuel and a bag of Cheetos from a Pooler convenience store claimed to be Gov. Sonny Perdue’s wife.

Pooler police say the woman pumped a little more than 15 gallons of gas, worth $37, into a white Ford Explorer at the Clyde’s Market on U.S. 80 near Pooler Parkway around noon Friday.

Police say she went inside, got a bag of chips and offered a check and debit card, but both payment modes were declined.

That’s when the clerk tells police the woman said she was the governor’s wife, then started to whisper into the phone, pretending to speak to the FBI.

The woman then grabbed her purse and the chips and escaped before paying for the food or the gas. Police are investigating.

Man hospitalized after being glued to toilet seat in shopping mall

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Just when you thought it was safe to use the restroom.   I can’t believe anyone would find doing this to another person funny.  I think when they catch the culprits the punishment should fit the crime.  They should have to wear a toilet seat around their necks for as long as they are sentenced.

11-11-05_1915CAIRNS, Australia (AP) — A man who used a public toilet in a shopping mall was taken to a hospital to have the toilet seat removed from his backside after someone smeared it with glue in what an official condemned Monday as a sick joke. Police urged possible witnesses to come forward after the 58-year-old man was humiliated in the northeastern city of Cairns by the prank.

An ambulance was called to help the man after he was found stuck by fast-acting adhesive glue to a toilet seat on Saturday in the busy shopping mall.

Man allegedly bites off love rival’s ear lobe

Friday, August 21st, 2009

I think we need to look back to history on this one.  Couldn’t we charge Mike Tyson as an accessory since he’s the most public ear biter around?

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) — A southeast Missouri man was accused of biting off the ear lobe of a love rival. The Southeast Missourian reported that a 23-year-old man was charged with felony assault and burglary and was jailed on $50,000 bond.

Police said the suspect and the victim were arguing over a woman just before midnight Tuesday. The suspect allegedly displayed a butcher knife, but the victim and the woman pushed him out the door.

A fight allegedly began after the suspect knocked loudly at a window. Police said the two men fell to the ground and the suspect bit off the victim’s ear lobe.

Police recovered the severed lobe, but doctors were unable to reattach it.

Again it’s Florida!   I am beginning to think there is something in the water there.   I also think I have met the wrong women in my life as never known 2 women I could swindle $400k out of.
