Urine trouble
A D.C. man was arrested Thursday after he showed up at his parole offices to take a urine test — in a stolen car.
Police watched the man, whose name was being withheld pending formal charges, go into the office. Police then ran the tags on the car and found that it had been stolen. When the man was asked about the vehicle, he denied having anything to do with it. But when police searched his pockets they found the keys to the car.
Victoria’s secret (stash)
Frederick police may have discovered Victoria’s secret when they arrested a woman who was selling cocaine hidden in her bra.
An officer on foot patrol was tipped off to the cocaine-laden bra by a resident who provided a description of the drug dealer. Soon after, Diane Lynn Lookingbill, 43, admitted to the officer that she had hidden the drugs in her brassiere.
He didn’t say robber…
Englewood, N.J., police taught a quick lesson to a New York man: It’s not their job to enforce return policies.
Kadien Jackson, 21, was charged with filing a false police report after he called 911 to report a gas station attendant who wouldn’t return Jackson’s cash for an unopened box of condoms as a robber.
Officers said they take such things seriously because of the danger it poses to officers.
High prices hit pot smokers too
Apparently, it’s not just the price of corn that’s going up; a bag of weed is getting more pricey, too, causing a Texas man to grow his own, police said.
John Daniel Miller III was caught growing 70 marijuana plants valued at $100,000 on his Tyler, Texas property. When deputies, responding to a tip, discovered the plants encircled by old tires, Miller told them that he had planted the crop as a cost-saving measure.
Former candidate went whole hog
A two-time candidate for Georgia’s governor was charged with attempting to entice a 13-year-old girl and her 11-year-old sister to engage in “illegal sexual activity” after he allegedly asked their grandmother if she would trade the girls “for a good fattening hog.”
The phrase, which Otis Hensley Jr., 52, used as he passed the three in a Harlan, Ga., grocery store aisle, dates back to the practice of giving farm animals as part of a dowry, but Hensley said he uses it often to “cut up with people.”
The grandmother became alarmed and Hensley followed her to the courthouse trying explain along the way. He was being held on $15,000 cash bond and could face 10 years in prison.
