Every trip is better when the seat next to you is open, whether you’re on a plane, a bus, or, as in this case, a train. Why was this gent a bad draw as a seatmate? Well, as reported atbrevardtimes.com:
A 33-year-old Florida man was charged Tuesday with lewd or lascivious exhibition for masturbating in plain view on a passenger train. The defendant, Daniel Michael of Marathon, FL, is accused of exposing himself in front of a young child during the incident.
Yikes.
The Juice assumed, as many of you probably did too, that working at a fast food restaurant would turn you off to the food. Kind of like, I don’t know what happens in the kitchen, and I don’t want to know. Well, this worker gives the lie to that notion, as reported by beenews.com (Western New York):
A manager at McDonald’s reported that one of the restaurant’s employees walked out with a package of Canadian bacon, two packages of hot fudge syrup, a package of ranch sauce, seven happy meal toys, six cooked grilled chicken patties and two pounds of cooked bacon.
Woo! The Juice’s stomach is percolating just thinking about downing that haul.
It’s often said that security guards are wannabe cops. Have you ever heard that said about refs? Me either. But check this out, as reported by wwl.com:
An apparent argument over crowd control between high school football referees and members of the Covington Police Department led to the arrest of two members of the officiating crew.
You probably saw that coming. So what happened?
Apparently this gent was a real peach on the flight. But that was nothing compared to his antics as he departed the plane. As reported by The Manchester Evening News:
A drunken jet passenger was tasered by police after stripping naked on the airpot tarmac – and challenging the captain to a fight.
The 52-year-old man, who had arrived in Manchester on an easyJet flight from Malta, also urinated up the side of the Terminal One building.
Mother of the day! So maybe she didn’t tell her kid to go play in traffic. What this Texas mom did do, though, was arguably worse. As reported by khou.com
Police in League City arrested a woman Monday night accused of making her 10-year-old son walk along the Gulf Freeway frontage road as a form of punishment.
According to the police department, officers received a report of a child walking on the shoulder of the 2100 block of the Gulf Freeway around 8:30 p.m.
You have to understand that when a major crisis looms, the government must act. What was the major crisis requiring the intervention of the Venezuelan government? You won’t believe it. As reported by the BBC:
The Venezuelan government has taken over a toilet paper factory to avoid any scarcity of the product. The National Guard has taken control of the plant, and officers will monitor production and distribution.
Toilet paper! Yes, toilet paper! Don’t worry, though. The President (yes, that’s right the President!) is on the case.
Over the years, The Juice has often seen and occasionally blogged about criminals returning to the scene of the crime to hit the joint again. But not this gent. You’ll never guess why he returned to the crime scene on the same day! Per nj.com:
On Aug. 29, Harold Williams took $321 worth of shampoo and razors from the sales floor of the Route 22 West ShopRite and left without paying, according to an arrest report from the Watchung Police Department.
So that’s visit #1. And the return visit?
Later that day, at about 6 p.m., Williams apparently returned to the store, filled out a job application form and was arrested after ShopRite Manager Paul Lesperance recognized him from earlier in the day, police said.
Think the job was in Loss Control?
Williams was arrested and taken to police headquarters for processing, and was transported to Somerset County Jail because he was unable to post $500 cash bail, police said.

Some people drink. Some people smoke weed. Many folks do both. And then there are those folks who ingest man-made substances of uncertain origins, be it ecstasy, LSD, bath salts or whatever. This The Juice has never understood, because [per The Belleville News-Democrat] something like this can happen to you:
A man has been convicted of using a medieval-looking replica weapon with spikes on it to attack an officer and a woman.
Scott M. Davis Jr., 23, was naked during the April 2012 disturbance. On Saturday, a St. Charles County Circuit Court jury recommended a sentence of 10 years for first-degree assault, five years for armed criminal action and 15 years for assaulting a law enforcement officer.
A witness reported that Davis and two others had been using LSD before police were summoned. Davis also was accused of biting and hitting the officer with a Taser handle.
The officer shot Davis in the leg and arm.
You take an unknown substance, you get an unknown outcome. Here’s the source.
Sure sounds like a good idea – getting together with your brother-in-law to watch the big fight. From the idea stage to the actual event, things went downhill, as you’ll see from this entry in The Colorado Springs Police Department Blotter:
Incident Date: September 15, 2013
Time:1:25:00 AM
Division: Stetson Hills — Shift I
Title: Assault
Location:7865 Chancellor Drive
Officers were dispatched to the above address re. a disturbance. Upon arrival officers learned that after watching a championship boxing match on TV, two intoxicated males engaged in an arguement and one intentionally stabbed his brother-inlaw in his ear with knife. The victim was transported to a local hospital with serious bodily injury but expected to survive.
Ouch!
What exactly is HRUI? You have to ask? It’s horseback riding under the influence. The Juice has blogged daily for 6.5 years, and he hasn’t come across a similar case. Driving a motorized barstool under the influence? Yup. Driving riding mowers under the influence? Many times. Anyway, as reported by 9news.com (Denver, Colorado):
Patrick Schumacher is facing charges of riding a horse while under the influence of alcohol after witnesses saw the rider and horse occasional wandering into traffic on Broadway near the school Monday afternoon [in Boulder].
Officers observed that Schumacher was slumped to his right side as he crossed streets and forced pedestrians off the sidewalk. Police pulled the horse over, and Schumacher was arrested on suspicion of riding under the influence after he was given a sobriety test.
How do you pull a horse over? But wait, it gets a little stranger still.
Police say Schumacher had a small dog in his backpack and beer in one of his saddlebags. The horse and the dog have been impounded. Schumacher is also facing a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge as well as prohibited use of weapons and a reckless endangerment charge.
Wow. Lots of charges. In case you’re wondering where he was going with his dog and his beer …
Schumacher told officers that he was traveling from Larkspur to Bryce, Utah (a 600-mile journey by car) on his horse in an effort to attend his brother’s wedding.
Schumacher said he previously lost his driver’s license, so he decided to ride his horse to Utah.
Brilliant! You’ll find the source here.
