A drive-thru customer at a fast food restaurant in Florida offered something green to pay for his dinner, but it wasn’t cash, according to a sheriff’s deputies.
Shawn Alexander Pannullo, 27, was arrested after a McDonald’s cashier in Vero Beach complained that he wanted to trade some marijuana for food, according to police.
Meanwhile, over at the Burger King
Apparently, “Have it your way” doesn’t apply to store hours. A Bismarck, N.D., man faces burglary charges after being found in a Burger King parking lot wearing attire stolen from the fast-food chain.
Officers found a drive-through window left open and Chad Rummel, 26, wearing a Burger King uniform. He also had in his possession a Burger King ball cap, three Burger King jackets and a 12-pack of invisible tape.
Goldschlager-locks and the three Budweisers?
A Gaithersburg family recently found a surprise in their bed — a drunken stranger.
Bob and Joanne Breiner and their child returned home and found a man sound asleep in the couple’s bed, his pants and shoes on the floor. The man had even raided the refrigerator for some crab cakes.
When officers showed up and woke the man, he asked them what they were doing in his house.
The man apparently had been drinking and accidentally went to the wrong house. He lives 8 miles away in Damascus.
Stay out of catfights while driving
A driver ended up in the hospital when she tried to break up a fight between two cats riding on her lap, Colorado State Troopers said.
A car and a semitrailer both swerved off the road so they wouldn’t hit the woman’s vehicle, which rolled over on the highway.
The woman suffered minor injuries and was ticketed for careless driving.
Grandma always enjoyed a backyard barbecue
Authorities believe a Northern California family cremated the remains of a dead elderly woman on a makeshift barbecue in order to continue collecting her retirement checks amounting to more than $25,000.
Ramona Allmond, 84, likely died of natural causes, though Tehama County sheriff’s investigators were still trying to determine the exact cause of death.
Allmond’s daughter, Kathleen Allmond, 50, and Allmond’s grandson, Tony Ray, 30, told investigators their relative died 10 months earlier. They left her body on her floor for a week before cremating the remains in their backyard fire pit, police said.
Kathleen Allmond also made a necklace with a portion of her mother’s skull, which she wore around her neck.
Some things aren’t made to be faked
Have you heard of the Whizzinator 2000, the prosthetic penis used to provide “clean” urine samples?
The device can be worn as an undergarment, and with heat pads, it is guaranteed to maintain body temperature for eight hours. The Web site for Puck Technology’s features testimonials, including one from a truck driver who said he used the device to beat government drug tests.
Federal prosecutors aren’t amused. They have charged the manufacturers with conspiracy to defraud the government. The defendants are expected to plead guilty.
“We’re convinced that the government’s theory is correct,” Puck’s attorney said. “Obviously, it’s serious if somebody is faking drug tests who is then driving a tractor-trailer or a bus or flying an airplane.”
