Running from the authorities? Not a good idea. Running from the authorities in the courthouse? Doh! Per wane.com:
It happened Tuesday in Tampa. A 25-year-old man in a purple shirt refused to sign his paperwork in a court case. Surveillance video shows the man took off running through the courthouse.
Bailiffs and two Tampa police officers gave chase and he was eventually tackled. The man was arrested and jailed without bond.
It’s nice to see a couple in love, right? Yes, and no. In this case, definitely “no.” As reported by wkmg (clickorlando.com):
Orlando police said Jeremie Calo, 32, and his date were “having sex on a table in view of minor children” on the patio of Paddy Murphy’s restaurant.
Yikes!
“That’s ridiculous that they would do that out in public and also in front of kids,” said Ashley Webster. Several witnesses told Local 6 that parents with children were eating on the patio as the couple started making out, then things went further.
The kids!
“That’s totally unacceptable and insane. I’m shocked. I can’t believe that,” said Jackie Kelvington as she watched her daughter at gymnastics across the street. “I would absolutely yank my kids, get them away from that situation and hope that they didn’t see too much.”
Run!
The manager at Paddy Murphy’s, Tom Murphy, said as soon as he realized what was going on he put a stop to it. He told the couple, “Compose yourself, pay your tab or I’ll call the police,” according to the report.
Said Mr. Calo:
“She can’t get up at this time” because his date was still on top of him.
Funny. Not smart or cool. But pretty funny.
Murphy called police, and the couple then stopped what they were doing.
When police arrived, they arrested Calo for fighting with the manager and refusing to pay the $101 bill.
Wait, not fornicating in public, or some such charge?
Neither Calo nor his date were arrested for any of the sex allegations because none of the parents who saw the sex acts wanted to write statements for police.

Sure, the “is that a … in your pants” is not a not totally uncommon theme. Still, a loris? As reported by the BBC:
Two of the men were found with slender lorises concealed in pouches in their briefs, a customs official at Indira Gandhi International Airport told the BBC.
Yes, they had lorises in their underwear! How were these clever gents caught?
The animals were uncovered when security guards noticed a bulge in their underwear during a frisk.

So maybe it’s not 100% certain that he was drinking with the monkeys, but he let them out of their cages, he was drunk, and … as reported by The August Chronicle (Georgia):
According to a GHSU Police Bureau incident report, a co-worker discovered Coley Mitchell, 32, partially unclothed in the Laboratory Animal Services technician locker room at the Sanders Research and Education Building about 10:30 p.m. Monday.
Yikes!
Campus police said Mitchell, a Lab Animal Services technician, was highly intoxicated and sitting in a chair with his pants half-down.
Partially clothed, highly intoxicated – what about the monkeys?
The spokeswoman said two monkeys were found outside their cages in the lab but were confined to the room. There is no indication the monkeys had been harmed.
Whew.
Police said Mitchell became combative and uncooperative with officers while being escorted from the locker room.
He was booked into the Richmond County jail Monday on charges of public intoxication.
A spokeswoman said Mitchell was still employed by Georgia Health Sciences University on Friday.
That’ll probably change. Here’s the source, including a mug shot.
There are some records you just don’t want to set. It looks like this Iowan may hold this record for a while. As reported by the Iowa City, Iowa Patch:
Justin A. Clark, 24, of North Liberty, was arrested July 29 after North Liberty police received reports of a driver colliding with curbs and attempting to rev up his engine.
Clark was sitting in the driver’s seat and was unable to answer any of the officer’s questions, police said. He also was unable to get out of the vehicle, walk or perform field sobriety tests, police said.
It’s been a long, hot summer. People everywhere are routinely disrobing and … wait, they’re not? As reported by lancasteronline.com:
A naked couple showed up in a hotel lobby in Manheim Township early Sunday.
Huh?
Clearly this lady is not cut out to be a school bus driver. Why? Well, as reported by The Herald-Tribune (Sarasota, Florida) …
A school bus driver has been fired for defecating on school grounds and encouraging a student to drop his pants and “moon” other students through the bus window.
Maureen Butler, 50, also reportedly admitted to district investigators that high-school students threw condoms and tampons on her bus that were found later by elementary school children.
A fine example for the youngsters. You can read a fair amount more here. And yes, she was fired.
Have you heard of license plate readers? They are attached to police cars, and automatically run license plates through databases. Wonder if this guy knew about the pervasive use of this technology? He does now. As reported in the Colorado Springs Police Department Blotter:

The vehicle was occupied by one male. The male was in possesion of drug paraphernalia and .7 grams methamphetamine.

Hmm. Do you take the belt, or not, and risk the consequences? Not that The Juice is pro-belt, but behaving is always an option – next time any way. As reported by The Northwest Florida Daily News:
A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after he allegedly pushed his mother away as she was trying to discipline him.
The boy’s mother told an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s deputy the two got into an argument after she determined he was stealing cigarettes from her.
Stealing and smoking? Prepare your buttocks, young man.
She tried to discipline the boy with a belt, and he shoved her in the chest away from him.
The boy admitted shoving his mother.
Oh it’s on now … with the Judge.
[The boy] will report to juvenile court on Aug. 22.
