cop%20eating%20doughnut%20police%20policeman.jpg But not for the reasons you might suspect. Up in Douglas County, Oregon, 2 fellers dressed like cowboys offered some doughnuts to a couple deputies. Now they didn’t take offense, mind you, just notice of how these dudes were dressed. So when they responded to a burglary, in which doughnuts were among the stolen items, and there were cowboys boot prints at the crime scene …

cop%20eating%20doughnut%20tiny%20policmean%20police.jpg I think even Barney Fife (see below) might have solved this one. To the dismay of Vincent Jonathan Whitley, age 19, and Adam Brett Hancock, age 21, these officers quickly put the pieces together. The cowboys were arrested. In addition to the doughnuts, they stole cigarettes and candy from the Looking Glass Store. That’s the crime. The time? 20 days plus 18 months probation, plus restitution of $895.

quarter%20quarters.jpg

If your cash haul is only a quarter, it’s just petty theft, right? Well, it depends … on what the quarter was in. As reported by The Gainesville Sun:

A Gainesville woman was taken to jail Monday after being charged with helping to steal an $800 cash register.</blockquote.

Inside the cash register was a quarter, police said.

Doh! And to get the cash register, they broke a window in the front door! You can read more here.

surveillance%20security%20camera.jpg

Unfortunately The Juice doesn’t have the surveillance video yet. Anyone? Anyway, suffice it to say that a Florida woman was not pleased with a woman she believes slept with her boyfriend. Check out how she displayed her displeasure, as reported by The Gainesville Sun.

According to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened inside the store at 5200 NE Waldo Road, where a woman was working as a clerk. Deputies said a 23-year-old woman entered the store and began cussing at the clerk and asking her highly personal questions.

Based on witness statements and a surveillance video, deputies said the woman apparently was angry because she was involved in a sexual relationship with a man who also had been in a relationship with the clerk.

And she showed how angry she was by …

When the clerk declined to answer the questions, the woman opened a bag of used condoms and dumped them onto the counter, sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Todd Kelly said.

Um, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

“Next she pulled her shorts down and lifted her shirt, which fully exposed her to the clerk — and the camera,” Kelly said. The woman left the store but returned shortly after and threw a condom that hit the clerk, deputies said.

Yikes!

The Sheriff’s Office filed a sworn complaint against the woman, accusing her of battery and indecent exposure. A sworn complaint means the case has been forwarded to the State Attorney’s Office before an arrest is made.

Kelly said the store had to stop making sales for a short time so that the contaminated counter could be thoroughly cleaned.

Nasty. Here’s the source.

There is certainly a lot of racial profiling in the United States. But this ain’t Kuwait. As reported by Arab Times:

Police arrested an Asian expatriate for selling male and female sex toys plus drugs for sexual enhancement in Salmiya area.
 Sources said the man was spotted by police with a bag while he was walking along the street, so they asked him to stop for checking and found the aforementioned items. Additional KD 200 cash, believed to be proceeds from the trade, was also recovered. The culprit has since been taken to the concerned authority for necessary action.

If this is any indication, clearly probable cause is not an issue in Kuwait. The Juice isn’t judging, he’s just saying … that he likes probable cause.

car%20accident%20crash%20wreck%20collision%20automobile.jpg

As a personal injury lawyer himself, The Juice has heard many stories about behavior before, during and after car accidents.
This one, though, takes the cake. As reported by The Union Leader (New Hampshire):

Jared D. Hooper, 21, of 26 Partridge Lane, was arrested after police responded to the area of Garden and Westville roads around 6:30 p.m. to investigate the accident involving Hooper and another vehicle.

Arrested for what was described as a “minor” car accident? Hmm.

Deputy Police Chief Kathleen Jones said Hooper struck the other vehicle and then got out of his car and ran over to yell at the female driver.

Not cool, but … wait for it …

“He started smashing on the window and was yelling at her. Then he stopped and took off all of his clothing,” Jones said.

Bam!

“When officers got there he was standing there naked. He was still screaming. He had absolutely nothing on. This was definitely an unusual occurrence” said Jones…

As for the obvious question …

Contacted at his home Wednesday night, Hooper said he couldn’t comment on the accident or the reasons why he took off his clothes.

“Unfortunately I can’t respond to questions. I have nothing to say,” he said.

The crime?

Hooper was charged with driving while intoxicated, and with disorderly conduct, lewd behavior and criminal threatening.

Here’s the source, which includes a photo of Mr. Hooper.

two%202%20cent%20coin%20cents%20.jpg

The “Brown ‘N Serve” sausages were 98 cents in the aisle, but rang up at $1.00. When it happened the second time, consumer activist Mary Bach resorted to a familiar remedy – court. Wal-Mart said the overcharge was a mistake. What did the judge say? Per The Tribune-Review:

Murrysville District Judge Charles Conway sided with Bach in her civil lawsuit alleging unfair trade practices. He awarded Bach $100 in damages, plus about $80 in court costs.

Said a victorious Bach:

“Wal-Mart abandoned an earlier chainwide practice of offering scanner guarantees — for no explainable reason — and they also appear not to be following established store procedures for correcting scanner errors when customers report them. This also was occurring at two other stores, in Greensburg and North Versailles.” Wal-Mart has 30 days to appeal to Common Pleas Court.

boss%20from%20hell%20bad%20mean%20nasty%20rude.cms.jpg
You will be not be surprised to learn that Mr. William Ernst (who owns a bunch of convenience stores called QC Mart) was known by some as the “boss from hell.” A recent brainstorm to make the case? How about a memo titled “New Contest – Guess The Next Cashier Who Will Be Fired!!!”? As reported by The Des Moines Register, here’s what the memo said:

“
To win our game, write on a piece of paper the name of the next cashier you believe will be fired. Write their name [the person who will be fired], today’s date, today’s time, and your name. Seal it in an envelope and give it to the manager to put in my envelope.

“Here’s how the game will work: We are doubling our secret-shopper efforts, and your store will be visited during the day and at night several times a week. Secret shoppers will be looking for cashiers wearing a hat, talking on a cell phone, not wearing a QC Mart shirt, having someone hanging around/behind the counter, and/or a personal car parked by the pumps after 7 p.m., among other things.

stolen%20car%20thief%20steals%20vehicle.jpg

This is just gross – really, really gross. A guy broke into two separate cars and, well, you’ll have to hear it from The Star-Ledger (via nj.com):

Twice in one night, a burglar entered cars in Carteret, ransacked the vehicles and then defecated inside, according to police.

How would you like to be the police officer who catches this case? “Yeah, we’ll need some of that for DNA testing.”

On Tuesday night, an intruder entered a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica parked on Park Avenue, grabbed a GPS unit, and before leaving, relieved himself on the backseat, police said.

The same night somebody entered a 2007 Toyota Camry parked on George Street. Nothing was taken, but the burglar also relieved himself on the rear seat, authorities said.

Not cool, dude. Not cool. (It reminds The Juice of a certain Seinfeld episode.)

angry%20old%20man%20face.jpg

To look at this 79-year-old gentleman, you wouldn’t think that he’s capable of what he’s been charged with. As reported by wdrb.com (Louisville, Kentucky):

According to an arrest report, the alleged victim was pulling out of his driveway in the 9800 block of Fairmount Road, just west of Old Bardstown Road, when James W. Handy [age 79] threw coffee on him through his open car window.

Not cool. But wait.

The victim quickly stopped his car and got out, “to ask what the problem was.” Police say Handy quickly replied by smashing the coffee mug against the man’s head. Handy then allegedly cut up the victim’s arm with the broken handle.

Okay. There has got to be some serious history between these two.

When police asked Handy why he did it, he allegedly told them that, “he owed it to him” and that the victim “was staring at him.”

Police say Handy added that he would do it again, too, if the victim “looked at him.”

Perhaps that’s setting the bar a little low for a beat down?

Handy was arrested and charged with second-degree assault.

Here’s the source.

black%20magic.jpg

If you don’t like the maid, why not just fire her? And if you guessed that this didn’t happen in the US, you’re right. It was in Kuwait. Per the Arab Times:

Police have arrested an Asian housemaid for allegedly ‘ruining’ the family of her sponsor through black magic, reports Al-Shahed daily.

The arrest came when a Kuwaiti in his 40s filed a complaint with the police that seven days after hiring the housemaid there was a high degree of confusion in his home and he suspected the maid of doing black magic.


The man added he children complained of suffering from illusions and they looked terrified. He added he kept a watch on the maid and heard her uttering strange words while practicing magic in the kitchen. On the day of the incident he interrupted her and seized magic charms from her possession.


During interrogation the maid is said to have admitted to the act.

She added the family was treating her bad and wanted to take revenge.


Now that’s the first thing that has made any sense.

The maid has been referred to the General Immigration Department to prepare her deportation from the country.

Well, as long as she got a fair hearing …
