Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Being a cop is a dangerous, dirty and often thankless job. But on the other hand you occasionally get to make women shake their boobies. So there are compensations.

That probably wasn't the first motivation of Lakeland, Florida police officer Dustin Fetz when he stopped Zoe Brugger for driving with a broken headlight.

Officer Fetz asked the driver and her boyfriend for permission to search the vehicle. When they denied his request, Brugger said Fetz escorted her behind the car, where he asked her to lift her shirt above her stomach, pull her bra away from her chest and shake it out in case she had drugs hidden in there. Unsatisfied with her first attempt, Fetz made her shake her bra a second time.

When the vehicle search turned up no drugs, Fetz gave Brugger a ticket. The woman told the state attorney's office that the officer told her, "I'm done scaring you, and now you can go home."

The state attorney's office is investigating Officer Fetz, and while in their opinion his conduct did not constitute a criminal offense, he was given four days paid leave.

That's some good police work there, Lou.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Alleged Walmart shoplifter caught after firing at door, removing pants --*
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An alleged shoplifter in an Anchorage, Alaska, Walmart attempted to escape by shooting at a locked door and removing his pants, police said. When employees confronted the man early Wednesday, he ran to a locked door, fired his gun at it, then ran outside to remove his shoes and pants before running home, Anchorage police allege. Wesley Weinburger, 22, was tracked to his Anchorage home by a police dog, where police arrested him on charges of robbery, criminal mischief and theft, police spokeswoman Dani Myren said. "When they [police] contacted the suspect he was wearing a shirt and some boxer shorts," Myren said. An assistant manager and another employee confronted Weinburger in the store when he was observed to hide a pair of windshield wiper blades in his clothing, the Anchorage Daily News reported.


*-- Drunken Polish dentist yanks tooth of patient wanting a crown --*
RADOMSKO, Poland - A drunken Polish dentist yanked the tooth of a patient who had come in for a crown, then barricaded himself in his office when police arrived, officials said. The patient in Radomsko was undergoing preparations for the crown when he became suspicious the dentist was drunk, Polskie Radio reported Wednesday. The dentist polished the patient's front teeth, and then gave him five jabs of anesthetic, Polskie Radio reported. "After a few minutes, the 28-year-old saw that his front tooth had landed in the bin, and at that moment he decided to protest," police spokesperson Aneta Komorowska said. The patient demanded his dental records, but the dentist, 50, banished the patient from the surgery room, Polskie Radio reported. When police were finally able to enter the dentist's office, they confirmed he was under the influence of alcohol, and blood tests have been taken to determine how drunk he was during the dental procedure, the radio station reported. Charges will be brought when medical experts determine the extent of the alleged damage to the patient, the radio station said.


*-- READER COMMENTS --*
Perhaps the thief who got into the house through the dog door was assisted by either a small child or a midget who got thru the dog door and then opened the door for him from inside the house.
[Probably part of that midget crime ring we've all been hearing about.]

I do planning compliance. A couple of years ago a guy rang to complain about an illegal brothel, mostly because they refused to take a credit card payment for their services. When he argued about it they offered him the services of two girls - and this is what really spurred him to complain: they were ugly. -Steve
[That doesn't make any sense. If you can't hire one prostitute with a credit card why would you be able to hire two?]
