Rude Girl Flips Off Judge, Gets 30 Days in Lockup

Emerald Catron — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:15:06 +0000

Left on her own without legal representation, this girl (who was awaiting arraignment for a first arrest) was in over her head. It probably also didn't help that she didn't get the sobering reality of being physically present in court to knock some sense into her, since this is a video arraignment taking place from jail, where she is nervous and surrounded by other inmates. Oh, and it doesn't help that this judge is clearly some kind of jerk.

Man Addicted to Stealing TVs Finally Gets Caught

Drew Weisholtz — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:19:21 +0000

Matthew Colleluori is in LC-deep trouble. The 33-year-old man was arrested Tuesday in Marple, Pennsylvania for stealing not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE big-screen TVs from the same Walmart over a six-day period. Perhaps he was thinking about opening his own sports bar. Or starting his Christmas stealing early this year [...]

Police Arrest Teen Thief by Following Trail of Cheetos to His Front Door

Donald Deane — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:52:41 +0000

As any thief worth his salt knows, a clean getaway is absolutely essential. Well, a South Carolina teen recently botched a robbery in a big way after police followed a trail of Cheetos right to his front door. (While that's not the thief pictured above, authorities should still be on the lookout for a hungry cheetah in human clothing.)

Drunk Guy Steals Ambulance and Goes for a Joyride and Also Look How Scary His Face Is

Donald Deane — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:18:43 +0000

In the past, we've told you about the liquored up bar brawler who cried for his mommy and an inebriated Norwegian tourist who passed out on an airport conveyor belt. Now comes an intoxicated man who stole an ambulance in the middle of an emergency call and went for a joyride.

Man Steals Ex's Engagement Ring, Gives It To His Wife

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 17:30:35 +0000

Donald Albritton’s marriage was going through a rough patch, so he turned to his ex-girlfriend for help. The catch is Megan White, the 35-year old’s former-flame, didn’t exactly get a say in the matter… That’s because Albritton swiped White’s engagement ring, planning to give the jewelry to his current wife as a peace offering. According [...]

10 Costumed Mugshots for Halloween

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:41:09 +0000

When we get older, Halloween becomes less about accumulating candy and more about letting off some steam and having a good time. However, the mixture ofÂ alcohol and costumes are too much for some adult Halloween revelers to handle and their celebrations run them afoul of the law. This can lead to some prettyÂ hilariousÂ mugshots and we’ve [...]

Subway Sandwich Artist Foils Robbery, Throws Soup At Thief in Ghost Mask

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:24:10 +0000

Thanks to the seasonal boom in masks and disguises, HalloweenÂ is prime time for criminals. That is, unless they tangle with the wrong sandwich slinger… When a 6 foot tall, 250 pound man in a ghost mask barged into a Subway restaurant inÂ Braidwood, Illinois this past Friday, there was no doubt he was looking for trouble.Â The [...]

Oklahoma Man Arrested for Assault With a Dangerous Tree Branch

Wes Glinsmann — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 14:42:28 +0000

An Oklahoma City man was arrested this week after threatening a convenience store employee with a tree branch in an act of ‘Botanical Brutality.’ Ugh, sorry. 53-year old Marvin Glenn Jones had already been banned from a local 7-Eleven for making death threats against the store manager, but that didn’t stop him. “General Jones” (as [...]

Man Calls 911 Looking For Nookie

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 15:45:52 +0000

While it may feel like it is, the lack of a sexual partner is not technically an “emergency.” Which is why 32-year old Joshua Basso is in trouble after repeatedly calling 911 and requesting that female deputies come to his house and join him in the no-pants dance. After his seventh call between between August [...]

Drunk Man Arrested For Assault With a Burrito

Jay Perrone — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:40:32 +0000

Picture this scenario: you are in grade school, having lunch in the cafeteria, and all of a sudden someone yells out “food fight!” Before you know it, you are hurling freshly-scooped mashed potatoes at anything that moves in slow-motion, high-fiving friends and laughing at the absurdity of the situation. Oh, to be young! Ok, realistically [...]

Worst Thief Ever Gets Arrested After Passing Out Drunk On the Job

Mike Adams — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:40:46 +0000

Drinking on the job is never a good idea, and that goes double when your chosen profession includes illegal activities that can send you to prison. We’re referring, of course, to this Russian dude who was caught having a little post-drinking nap in a woman’s house when he was supposed to be robbing the place. Seriously, it’s just unprofessional.

Racist 'Elmo' Gets Dragged Off By NYC Cops

Carl Pettit — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 19:54:51 +0000

Everyone loves Elmo, right? He’s cute, fury and extremely affable. Elmo is a one fantastic Muppet, unless you happen to be talking about the nasty Elmo impersonator in New York City who, until recently, had been hurling racial abuses at pedestrians and other fellow Elmo impersonators.

Man Pulls a Gun After Neighbor Farts Too Loud

Shauna Wright — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 17:37:00 +0000

Noisy neighbors are bad enough, but when one passes gas so loudly that you can hear it through your front door, what’s someone to do but whip out a gun and go all ‘Dirty Harry’ on the dude?

Owning A-Team Replica Van Does Not Mean You Can Ram Into Cop Cars

Amy Sciarretto — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:20:42 +0000

If you own a replica of The A-Team van and happen to be, you know, sane, it does not mean you are an innate badass like B.A. Baracus. Nor does it give you licenses to ram said imitation vehicle into a cop car when the po-po pulls you over for a moving violation. However, if you are a bit of a whack job, you may think the opposite is true.

Grandma's Got Tons of Guns and Ganja

Patrick Bateman — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:40:45 +0000

The biggest pot dealer in town might also be found dealing cards in a game of Bridge. On Monday, cops busted into the apartment of 73-year-old Darlene Mayes to find she was packing 4 pounds of pot, $276,000 in cash, a semiautomatic pistol and a revolver. The woman was the kingpin (queenpin?) of an alleged [...]

'Easter Bunny' Arrested For Drug Possession While On the Job

Mithun Divakaran — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:43:25 +0000

Ut oh, some “bunny” is in trouble. Sorry, it was too easy NOT make that awful joke. A man in Danville, Virginia, who dressed up as the Easter Bunny this past weekend was arrested for possession of “illegal prescription narcotics.” To be fair, he wasn’t on the job when he was caught, but he was [...]

Woman Throws Puppies at Boyfriend During Fight

Tanya Sapula — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:12:59 +0000

Domestic abuse is never adorable – unless of course, puppies are involved. A couple in Fridley, Minnesota were arrested after an argument on March 29th escalated in the parking lot outside their apartment building. David Peter Remme, 25, was arrested for third-degree assault after he allegedly punched his girlfriend in the face and broke her [...]

Batman Pulled Over For Traffic Violation

Mithun Divakaran — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:10:17 +0000

It was only a couple days ago that we showed you a video of Batman cruising in his ‘Batmobile’ (but really a black Lamborghini) on I-95 in Silver Spring, Maryland. What we didn’t see later is the same Batman getting pulled over by Montgomery Country police because of an improper rear license plate. Turns out the bat symbol isn’t a street legal plate.

Jerk Sticks His Mom With $123,000 in Unpaid Tolls

Dan Seitz — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:45:49 +0000

We feel safe in calling Peter Davis a jerk. Not because we know him personally; we’d never heard of the Englewood, NJ resident before yesterday. But it’s how we heard of him: using his mom’s car to buy drugs in New York and not paying tolls on the George Washington Bridge.

Now his mom’s on the hook for $123,000 from 6,600 violations that Davis somehow successfully hid from her. This is why you don’t do drugs, kids.

Don Deane — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:17:51 +0000

At one point or another, we’ve all fallen victim to the theft of food from an office fridge. In general, most of us chalk it up as a minor annoyance. But police in Deer Park, Texas were so fed up with an office thief that they ran a sting to catch him in the act. And, it turns out, the culprit was a cop.
