Facebook status: Need bail

They’ll be talking about this party for years.

The Omaha, Neb.-area party was billed on Facebook as a history-making house party, but the party was history before it really got started after police invited themselves over.

The Facebook posting advertised a disc jockey, professional photographer, six kegs of beer, bottles of liquor and shuttle service.

“P.S., don’t worry about the cops because I have a police scanner so I will have the heads up if they come,” the hosts wrote.

Thirty minutes after the historic party started, sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant. Nine minors were busted for possession of alcohol and six adults on charges of buying alcohol for minors — including the hosts, whose parents were away.

Puts your hands up! Oh — hey, chief

The Olmsted, Ohio, police department is standing behind their chief after he was arrested along with another man, accused of fondling themselves in a Cleveland-area park.

Police Chief Charles McNeeley was charged with indecent exposure. At first, McNeeley tried to flee from the park ranger, but then apologized, according to the report. McNeeley, 61, then blamed his behavior on the stress of his wife being diagnosed with cancer. He claimed to be a retired human resources worker until another ranger recognized McNeeley, the report states.

Meanwhile, Olmsted Township police are backing McNeeley.

Wrote Lt. John Minek in a news release: “Chief McNeeley is the best chief this department and the community has ever had.”

Dolls and guy

A South Florida man who made love to two blow-up sex dolls in a grocery store parking lot was spared jail time.

George Bartusek, 51, was let off with probation for the freaky threesome in Cape Coral.

“I saw this guy with two blow-up dolls kissing them and bouncing them and trying to get people’s attention,” one female witness told a Miami television station.

Bartusek, like his blow-up dates, remained silent as he left court.

Worst. Prank. Ever.

A supervisor of a picture framing warehouse in Portland, Ore., and another worker staged an argument in which the boss, Chad Paranto, 35, pulled out a cap gun and shot the underling.

But co-worker James Clithero didn’t find it funny. He immediately bolted from the warehouse, climbed two razor-wired fences and kept running for a half-mile until he collapsed and crouched behind a van. A homeowner saw Clithero’s bloody hands and let him use his phone to call police.

A breathless Clithero can be heard on the 911 tape, “He was yelling at me about a screwed-up order. I have no idea why this happened. He’s like my favorite boss at any job that I’ve had.”

When armed police descended on the warehouse, they were surprised to find workers in the parking lot, tossing a football.

De-fense! (Self-) De-fense!

Two would-be muggers were thwarted by a 17-year-old baton twirler.

The marching band student was on her way to school north of Los Angeles when two men grabbed her from behind and demanded money. The girl punched one of the men in the nose, kicked the other in the groin and beat both with her large baton, officials said.

No arrests have been made, but Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Michael Rust said the girl made her point.

“Final score: Marching band 2, thugs 0,” Rust quipped.
