Monday, August 3rd, 2009

I always said that working at Wal-Mart was dangerous and now look at this.   A biting shoplifter proves me right.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) — Police said a Wal-Mart employee was bitten while confronting a customer about shoplifting. Officers said a 44-year-old woman bit the employee on the arm while trying to leave the store’s garden center Tuesday afternoon without paying for items in her purse.

The woman was arrested on charges of theft and assault.

Flight diverted to Albuquerque after passenger undresses in his seat

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A passenger stripped naked during a US Airways flight and resisted a flight attendant’s efforts to cover him with a blanket before two off-duty law enforcement officers on board subdued and handcuffed him, authorities said Wednesday.

Keith Wright, 50, of the Bronx in New York, was taken into custody after he disrobed while sitting in his seat in the back of Flight 705 on Tuesday evening, authorities said. The plane was carrying about 148 passengers from Charlotte to Los Angeles, the airline said.

Wright was unresponsive when a flight attendant asked him to put his clothes back on, said Dan Jiron, a spokesman for the Albuquerque airport. “She asked him on more than one occasion to put on his clothes. She covered him with a blanket and he took that off,” Jiron said.

Mass. man arrested after allegedly placing an ad on Craigslist selling marijuana

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Problem: I need to move some more pot because walk-in traffic is down.  Solution: Craigslist, no one but dopers read this right (says the dope seller).  All I have to say is what a dope.

busted1QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — A man has been arrested after he allegedly placed an advertisement on Craigslist selling marijuana. Police said undercover detectives responded to the advertisement and bought a small bag of pot from 30-year-old Christopher Gray for $45.

According to police, Christopher Gray posted the advertisement on the online classified site with the words “420 help is here.” The item read “Give me a ring if you need some help,” and listed a phone number, which a detective called Friday and arranged for a meeting with Gray in Quincy.

The term “420″ is believed to stem from the time of day that smokers at a California high school in 1971 would meet to smoke pot.

A telephone listing for Gray was disconnected and it was unclear if he had an attorney.
