Greetings fellow Bizarros:

I am not going to make fun of chihuahuas anymore. Well, at least not as much as I used to. I just read a story about a California woman who said a mountain lion that wandered onto her property was cornered by a gang of unlikely guardians, her trio of toy chihuahuas.

Ana Lee Spray, 23, said she was awakened Saturday morning by the sound of her three chihuahuas barking at the top of their tiny lungs at the opening of her garage.

Spray said she looked out her daughter's window to investigate the ruckus and was shocked to see her gang of 3-pound dogs had cornered an angry-looking cougar in the garage.

The homeowner said the chihuahuas' barking kept the animal, which appeared to be foaming at the mouth, at bay for 45 minutes until Riverside County Sheriff's deputies arrived.

"When they saw the dogs they said 'These little things?' When they saw the mountain lion their jaws dropped," Spray said. "They radioed, 'This is a full-size mountain lion and it is not happy to see us.'"

Spray said the cougar made a run for it after officers from the Department of Fish and Game shot it with tranquilizers and she did not see the eventual capture.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Man crashes car, refuses to come out --*
BRAAS, Sweden - A Swedish man who has remained in his vehicle for more than 48 hours following a crash resulted in police receiving calls about a corpse in a car. Braas emergency services said they received a call about a man crashing his car into a ditch around 3:30 p.m. Saturday and they discovered the car was stuck in the ditch and 37-year-old driver, who appeared to be uninjured, refused to exit the vehicle, Swedish news agency TT reported Monday. A police spokesman said there are no laws against sitting in a car following a wreck, provided police are allowed to carry out the necessarily post-incident tests and reports. "If he's not really drunk or intoxicated we can't bring him in," the spokesman said. Police said the man may continue to sit in his car until the results of his drug test come back in two weeks. The driver told TT he didn't want to leave the disabled car alone on the roadway for fear of vandalism.

*-- Man sues state over deer attack --*
MARIN COUNTY, Calif. - A California man is suing the state Department of Fish and Game, claiming a "mismanaged" wild deer attacked him, a court document shows. Thadeusz Wyrzykowski of Bolinas said in his handwritten court filing that he suffered injuries from falling into a window after deer jumped into his fenced yard last spring and "attacked me (twice) on a narrow path." Asking for unspecified damages, he wrote in his filing that the wildlife department "mismanaged negligently its animal its claims & duties." A case management conference was scheduled for Oct. 19 in Marin Superior Court, the Marin Independent Journal reported Monday. The newspaper said Wyrzykowski filed another handwritten lawsuit in federal court last year against the Marin County Assessor-Recorder's Office over the county's efforts to collect overdue property taxes from him, in which he described himself as an "independent dignity ambassador" and "orator/scholar/artist." Deputy County Counsel Edward Kiernan called that suit full of "nonsensical, irrelevant non sequitors" and "legally meaningless and pointless facts." That suit was dismissed, the newspaper noted.

*-- READER COMMENTS --*
In the late 70's, a friend who lived in Beaumont but grew up in south Texas made a trip back home and picked up 6 lbs of marijuana (I guess to help cover gas expenses). He was arrested near King Ranch, bonded out, came back to Beaumont, then a month later went back for his court hearing. He was charged with 3 lbs. He said to me, "What was I supposed to do, jump up and say it was 6 lbs?!?" Long story short about law enforcement, they're just people like everyone else... you have the good and the bad.
[And they apparently have 3 lbs. of your friend's weed.]
