Bizarre News - August 8, 2015
Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Everybody is talking about the California cop who pulled his piece on a man who was standing in HIS OWN driveway because the man was recording the officer as he cruised past his house.
But as police misconduct goes, that is small peanuts compared to this Georgia police...woman...I guess you could call her.
Polk County police said that they have arrested 46-year-old Deputy Noel Smith, after she allegedly entered the home of Carol Carr while drunk.
Smith said that she believed it was her home. After hearing her girls screaming, Carr came running and found the Smith inside her son's room.
Smith was getting ready to jump into the boy's bed and went through the drawer, trying to find something to wear. Smith put on the boy's shirt.
When she was told to leave, Smith claimed it was her house.
Police officers who arrived at the scene, threatened Smith with a Taser. Smith appeared to be drunk and she had urinated on herself.
Smith has been charged with public intoxication, trespassing and assault.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Man allegedly takes drunken drive onto active News Orleans runway --*
NEW ORLEANS - A 23-year-old man is accused of driving his sportscar through a fence and onto an active runway in New Orleans before being arrested for drunk driving Wednesday, law enforcement said. Police say the man drove a blue Dodge Challenger through a fence at about noon local time, drove across a runway at Louis Armstrong International Airport and plowed through another fence. Officials said the suspect, Kaleb Clement, was later captured hiding behind an air conditioning unit at a nearby auto shop after leading police on a brief chase. No one was hurt in the incident, but investigators said Clement had been driving under the influence, The (New Orleans) Times Picayune reported. Clement was arrested and booked on suspicion of DUI and hit-and-run. Although the driver got onto an active runway, officials at the airport said no flights were disrupted. The New Orleans Advocate reported Clement has marijuana-related probation violations on his record and a domestic battery charge that was ultimately dropped.
*-- Police: Motorist brought sheep along for McDonald's run --*
LEEMING BAR, England - A British motorist pulled over for driving with bald tires told police the sheep in the back of his car was just along for the ride to McDonald's. The North Yorkshire Police Roads Policing Group, which shared a picture of the car and its wooly passenger on Twitter, said the motorist was pulled over Wednesday evening when an officer noticed two of its tires were completely bald. The officer soon discovered there was a sheep in the back of the car. "Ewe have got to be kidding," the police tweet read. A police spokesman told the Northern Echo the motorist explained he had just taken the sheep with him for a quick trip to the McDonald's in Leeming Bar. "Some people take their dogs in their cars, I take my sheep," the man was quoted as saying to the officer. A follow-up tweet indicated the officer did not necessarily approve of the motorist's meal choice. "[The motorist] allegedly had just been through the 'Golden Arches,' drive through," the tweet said, using the apparently judgmental hashtag "#otherfastfoodisavailable." A police spokesman quipped the department would have liked to have gotten a clearer photo of the spectacle. "We have no other information apart from what the officer tweeted. Although we might equip our officers with better high-definition cameras," the spokesman told The Guardian.

Hi Lewis, I think we're going to the wrong doctors. Agnes Fenton is 110 years old, and drank 3 beers and a shot of scotch. Mine keeps harping about fiber and vegetables leading to a long life. --Lynda-Marie
[
Both beer and scotch are made from grains and cereals. Hard to get more fiber than that!]
There is a criminal mastermind for you. Chewed off his own fingertips! I'm sure that stymied the cops. I guess he doesn't know that fingerprints grow back.
[
Well, he did it while staring into a surveillance camera. Nothing suspicious about that. If all criminals were this "brilliant" we'd have a lot more convictions.]
