Floridian called 911 three times over McDonald's chicken shortage

MARCH 3--Angered that her local McDonald's was out of Chicken McNuggets, a Florida woman called 911 three times to report the fast food "emergency." Latreasa Goodman, 27, last Saturday called police to complain that a cashier--citing a McDonald's all sales are final policy--would not give her a refund. When cops responded to the restaurant, Goodman told them, "This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one." Goodman noted, "I called 911 because I couldn't get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets," according to the below Fort Pierce Police Department report. That logic, however, did not keep cops from citing Goodman for misusing the 911 system. Even after being issued a misdemeanor citation, Goodman contended, "this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency." The McDonald's devotee is seen at right in a mug shot snapped after a previous encounter with police. Last month, a Florida man was arrested after he called 911 to complain about his displeasure with a Burger King combo meal.

Berlin police officers arrested each other as robbers made off with the cash after holding up an off licence.

Two crooks threatened a female employee with a machete at the cash-and-carry selling booze in the city's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district.

When the woman opened the till and handed over £5,000, the shop's silent alarm went off.

Plain-clothes policemen arrived at the store minutes later but ended up being arrested when uniformed officers stormed in seconds afterwards.

The crooks escaped and police have issued an apology over the mix-up.

Manager of the off-licence Heinz Huber said: "We all thought the uniformed police had caught the crooks and when the plain-clothes cops tried to tell them who they were, the uniformed police told them to keep quiet.

"It was only when one of the uniformed officers recognised one of the plain-clothes cops that they realised what had happened.

"They knew they had made fools of themselves and the real thieves were long gone."

Masturbating driver fined for 'bizarre' pleasure cruise

A Darwin man has been fined $2,000 for filming himself masturbating while speeding along the Stuart Highway.

The man is already in jail until August after pleading guilty to carrying cannabis in the car boot and two plants on the back seat.

Brenton Alan Erhardt, 39, pleaded guilty in the Darwin Magistrates Court to dangerous driving.

He was pulled over by police on the Stuart Highway in July speeding at 147 kilometres per hour, south of Daly Waters.

He admitted to officers he filmed himself masturbating while driving from Adelaide to Darwin.

He also pleaded guilty to driving unlicensed, carrying two cannabis smoking pipes, administering the drug and carrying a loaded rifle.

Magistrate Sue Oliver says the driving was bizarre to say the least and conduct she expects of someone much younger.

An American man accused of driving drunk led police on a wild chase that finally ended with him somehow managing to run himself over.

The 21-year-old man was treated for minor injuries at a Santa Fe hospital and booked in to the Sandoval County detention center on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated, fleeing a police officer, careless driving and two other outstanding traffic warrants.

A tip to the state's DrunkBuster hot line on Sunday afternoon alerted authorities to a possibly drunken driver.

State Police Officer Grace Romero spotted the man's pickup truck swerving across both lanes of a highway, driving slowly and then fast. He refused to stop.

After narrowly missing other vehicles, police said the suspect drove through a ditch and a barbed-wire fence before stopping. He tried to put the truck into park, but it ended up in reverse.

Police said the man fell from his open door and both of his legs were run over by the front driver's side tire.

A passenger on a French train had to be rescued by firemen after having his arm sucked down the on-board toilet.

The 26-year-old victim was trapped when he tried to fish out his mobile phone, which had fallen into the toilet bowl, and fell foul of the suction system.

The high-speed TGV train had to stop for two hours while firemen cut through the train's pipework.

The man was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm.

"He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off," said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man's plight.

The incident happened on Sunday evening, aboard a train travelling in western France between La Rochelle and Paris.

The full-grown lion was from a local zoo, and the owner was trying to drive to safety with the animal when he saw cars and trucks stranded in the rising floodwaters. He knew he and the lion were in trouble.

He headed for the church and was met by a group of residents who helped the lion wade inside, where they locked it in a sanctuary as the storm raged. The water crept up to their waists, and two-by-fours came floating through broken windows. But the lion was as calm as a kitten.

When daylight came, everyone was still alive.

"They worked pretty well together, actually," said the lion's owner, Michael Ray Kujawa. "When you have to swim, the lion doesn't care about eating nobody."

Amid the destruction in places like Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston, where row upon row of houses were scoured from the landscape, seemingly impossible tales of survival have begun emerge. Whether through faith or fate, luck or resourcefulness, dozens of people who stayed behind made it out alive, and have harrowing stories to prove it.

As of Tuesday, the official death toll from Ike stood at 48. Only 17 were in Texas — and many of those were people killed by fires or generator fumes after the storm had passed. However, authorities held out the possibility that some victims were washed out to sea.

Among those who made it out alive was Kathi Norton, who put on a life jacket as the storm closed in on High Island, on the Bolivar Peninsula. She and her husband, Paul, knew the dangers of staying, and put their important documents, credit cards, money and cell phones into a plastic bag, and held on tight.

All too quickly, the floodwaters rose and the house started to break apart. Through the gaps, they saw refrigerators, lawn mowers and hot tubs floating past. The deck broke away next. Then the roof started to buckle.

"The whole floor was just opened out," he said. Norton grabbed his wife and headed for an outdoor staircase, escaping in time only because a flagpole kept the house from crashing down for a few precious seconds. "I look up, the house is coming on us," he said.

For hours, they sloshed around in 4-foot waves before finding themselves perched in a tree. They finally made their way onto someone's motor home, which then started to sink. They were able to cling to rafters of a nearby structure and hang on until daybreak.

"We had to grab that staircase and float wherever it took us," the 68-year-old retiree said.

Willis Turner decided to ride it out on his wooden boat next to his house on Crystal Beach, also on Bolivar Peninsula, but it nearly capsized and he was saved by a rope his wife tossed to him. The two held on inside a home that she said "vibrated like a guitar string."

"It was like an atomic bomb going off. Right after the eye passed, whole houses came by us at 30 miles an hour — WHOLE HOUSES! — just floating right past," Turner said. "It was unreal. Unreal."

Turner and his wife awoke the next day to an island they no longer recognized. The first four rows of houses on the beach were washed into the sea. There were no more restaurants, no more gas stations, no more grocery stores. The neighborhood was gone.

In Galveston, Charlene Warner, 52, weathered the storm with her landlord and a neighbor in the apartment above her own.

"It felt like an earthquake — the rumbling and the rocking of the building," she said, smoking outside a shelter in San Antonio. "Everyone was praying."

"It was so terrible. All I could say was, 'Lord, please don't kill me. Forgive me for what I done,'" Warner said, as a tear rolled down her cheek.

After the storm, she and neighbors waited for rescue, but no one came. The water receded, leaving a layer of muck filled with snakes. But with no water, no electricity and a shrinking supply of food, Warner decided to go for help, sliding her way across the goo a block and a half to the fire station.

Firefighters took her and neighbors to a spot where they could get on an evacuation bus. She arrived at a shelter in San Antonio with her purse stuffed full of personal documents and cigarettes, and one spare outfit that she washed and drip-dried on a railing Tuesday.

"I lost everything. What you see with me is all I have," she said. "I never seen anything like that in my life. I'll never ride out another storm."

Cheryl Stanley said she and her husband, Tom, wanted to evacuate their Galveston apartment before the hurricane hit but couldn't. Their son, Casey, has cerebral palsy, and the three live on the third floor.

For one he was standing on the seawall, had a 135mph gusts came along, he'd be swimming for his life (I'd of liked to see that honestly). Second of all, he seemed to be giving much higher numbers the all of the other reporters from the area, such fabricating of facts should be illegal, what a joke.

Peterson initially called the emergency number Thursday so that officers could have his subs made correctly, according to a police report. The second call was to complain that police officers weren't arriving fast enough.

Subway workers told police that Peterson, 42, became belligerent and yelled when they were fixing his order. They locked him out of the store when he left to call police.

When officers arrived, they tried to calm Peterson and explain the proper use of 911. Those efforts failed, and he was arrested on a charge of making false 911 calls.

Peterson did not have a listed phone number.

(BELLEVUE, OH) -- Police say a man in Bellevue, Ohio was caught on tape having sex with a picnic table.

Bellevue Police Captain Matt Johnson says Art Price, Jr., 40, was seen on four occasions between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon having sex with his picnic table. What makes this a felony, Johnson says, is that it took place in close proximity to a school, which made it likely that children could have seen Price.

The neighbor -- who wishes to remain anonymous -- saw Price walk out onto his deck, stand a round metal table on its side and use the hole in the umbrella to have sex.

The most recent instance took place March 14, we're told. A neighbor videotaped Price.

"The first video we had, he was completely nude. He would use the hole from the umbrella and have sex with the table," Johnson says.

Police say Price admitted to the crimes -- four charges of public indecency. Usually these sorts of things are misdemeanors, but in this case, they are felonies.

"What boosts it up to a felony is that the statute says if it's likely to be viewed by a minor," Johnson explains.

The Price family did not want to talk with us, but neighbors did. Some are not happy Price was released on his own recognizance.

"He shouldn't be allowed just for the fact that he could do that again -- and nude that close to a school. That should be zero tolerance," says Brice Jacobs, a neighbor.

Price is married with three school-aged children. Neighbors tell us they're now worried about the kids.

"Hopefully it stays between the adults and the kids don't get a lot of the information so they aren't so cruel to the little kids," says Emily Grote, a neighbor.

This case has police in this small town shaking their heads. "Once you think you've seen it all, something else comes around," Johnson says.

Police say UFO was just the Moon

Police called out to a 999 call about an unexplained object in the night sky solved the mystery straight away for their operator - "it's the Moon, over."

But the emergency call meant the officers were sent out to a house in the valleys area of south Wales.

They were told a "bright stationary object" was spotted above the unnamed caller's home.

A recording of the call has been released as part of a police campaign asking people to use 999 appropriately.

The Control Room conversation, which took place in May, was recorded - and below is a transcript:

Control Room: "South Wales Police, what's your emergency?"

Caller: "It's not really. I just need to inform you that across the mountain there's a bright stationary object."

Control room: "Right."

Caller: "If you've got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out what it is? It's been there at least half an hour and it's still there."

Control: "It's been there for half an hour. Right. Is it actually on the mountain or in the sky?"

Caller: "It's in the air."

Control: "I will send someone up there now to check it out."

Caller: "OK."

The mystery was soon solved, as the exchange between control and an officer at the scene, makes clear.

Control: "Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"

Officer: "Yes, it's the moon. Over."

Control room staff also dealt with a stream of unsuitable calls on the 999 number during an "extremely busy period", said a spokesman.

Another caller rang asking for help when they wanted to vote for Rhydian on the TV programme X-Factor.

'Real emergencies'

Another wanted a pound for their supermarket trolley.

Following the calls, South Wales Police has changed the way it answers the phone.

Instead of saying "South Wales Police, how can I help?", control room staff now say "South Wales Police what is your emergency?"

Since the change, they have reported a 10% drop in 999 calls.

Superintendent Kevin O'Neill said: "There is no doubt in my mind that the public have taken on board the message we sent about making inappropriate 999 calls and thought twice about dialling the number in a non-emergency situation for which we are extremely grateful.

"Thanks to the public we have been able to answer calls, concerning real emergencies, quicker," said Supt O'Neill.

Between January and June 2008, the force answered 86.4% of calls within 10 seconds compared to 76.2% in the same period last year - an improvement of just over 10%.

The change in the greeting is being monitored by Cardiff University researchers Professor Martin Innes of the Universities Police Science Institute and Dr Frances Rock of the Centre for Language and Communication.

Associated Press

WEATHERFORD — A man was sentenced to more than 4,000 years in prison today for sexually assaulting three teenage girls over two years.

A day after finding James Kevin Pope guilty, jurors sentenced him to 40 life prison terms — one for each sex assault conviction — and 20 years for each of the three sexual performance of a child convictions.

At the request of prosecutors, state District Judge Graham Quisenberry ordered Mr. Pope to serve the sentences consecutively, adding up to 4,060 years. He will be eligible for parole in the year 3209, according to the Parker County District Attorney's Office.

“We believe it was a just result,” prosecutor Robert DuBoise said, adding that he was “overwhelmed” with the judge's decision to stack the sentences.

Mr. Pope, 43, of Springtown, abused the girls for nearly two years, and it came to authorities' attention earlier this year after Mr. Pope made several inappropriate comments to a friend who notified Child Protective Service.

During the trial, the teens testified about the abuse, and their sexually explicit photographs were shown as evidence.

But Rick Alley, Mr. Pope's defense lawyer, told jurors in closing arguments that the victims were incapable of understanding what happened, the Weatherford Democrat reported in its Wednesday online edition.

“If it was as traumatic as they indicate, they would be able to give you (specific dates and times of the incidents). Simply because it's shocking doesn't make it true,” Alley said.

During the sentencing phase of the trial, a U.S. Secret Service agent testified that while examining Mr. Pope's home computer he found more than 200 images of child porn.

Later today, some jurors said the case was difficult because of the subject matter.

“We were careful not to make any mistakes in viewing and evaluating the evidence and taking in the totality of the case and that there was a man's life at stake here,” said juror Dale Lewis.

When emergency medical workers answered a Wednesday night 911 call in Symmes Township, they expected to find someone in need of help.

They did – but Richard Harris didn’t need medical help. He needed a ride to his North Avondale home.

Harris, 39, was arrested and charged with making false alarms, a charge carrying a maximum jail sentence of 180 days..

Instead of giving Harris a ride home, he was given a ride to jail.

In court today, bond for Harris was set at $1,000

We’ve always maintained that there should be stricter requirements for owning guns in this country. You should have to prove that you’ve never committed a crime regardless of how violent or whether or not guns were involved. You should have to show that you’re not a danger to society or would do anything that would constitute harm against another person. You should have to prove your brain is still connected to the rest of your body.

According to the Associated Press, two men in Tuscaloosa, Ala. was arrested by police after he tried to shoot at a man in a parked car with a shotgun while a police officer sat right behind him at a red light.

I guess since the police officer was an off-duty police officer, he thought he couldn’t do anything since he was off the clock.

The man got out of his car, fired four shots into the other car and the victim sped off as the man chased him and the police officer pursued him and called for more officers. They caught up to the man because if he’s not smart enough to know not to shoot at someone while police are behind you, he also not a master of escape.

The good news is the victim was not injured. Don’t you like it when bad stories have happy endings, which is more than I can say for most of my “happy endings.”

Fleeing thief shoots self in groin

Monday, August 20, 2007

A suspect fleeing from police officers in the American state of Utah was making an excellent getaway, when he badly let himself down by committing a schoolboy error. He shot himself in the groin.

The unidentified man was on the run from officers in the city of Sandy, who gave chase after he bolted from officers in a convenience store at around 3am on Saturday morning.

Police first tried to pull the man's car over, then chased him on foot after he abandoned the vehicle, according to Sgt. Victor Quezada.

He was doing so well, jumping athletically over a fence in his attempt to evade capture, when it all went wrong. As he vaulted the fence, he somehow managed to discharge his gun directly into his groin area.

He was taken to hospital.

The police found that the car he'd been driving was stolen, and they also recovered stolen cheques, burglary paraphernalia and some methamphetamine.

ROCHELLE — Do drug dealers issue gift cards if their buyers aren’t satisfied with the product?

Apparently a Rochelle woman thought so when she called the local police to help “get her money back” after she was unhappy with the crack cocaine she had bought Thursday night.

Juanita Marie Jones, 53, of 957 Gordon St. called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, she said.

She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the rock was “fake.” She told Officer Joel Quinn and Deputy John Shedd of the Wilcox County Sheriff’s Office that she wanted them to get her money back.

Jones took the officers into her kitchen and showed them the alleged “fake” rock at which time they arrested her on charges of possession of cocaine.

She was taken to the Rochelle Police Department where she is awaiting a bond hearing.

Embattled NFL quarterback Michael Vick, facing federal charges related to his alleged participation in dogfighting, has been hit with a "$63,000,000,000 billion dollar" lawsuit filed by a South Carolina inmate who alleges the Atlanta Falcons star stole his pit bulls and sold them on eBay to buy "missiles from Iran," FOX News has learned.

Jonathan Lee Riches filed the handwritten complaint over "theft and abuse of my animals" on July 23 in the U.S. District Court in Richmond, Va.

Riches alleges that Vick stole two white mixed pit bull dogs from his home in Holiday, Fla., and used them for dogfighting operations in Richmond, Va. The complaint goes on to allege that Vick sold the dogs on eBay and “used the proceeds to purchase missiles from the Iran government.”

The complaint also alleges that Vick would need those missiles because he pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda in February of this year.

“Michael Vick has to stop physically hurting my feelings and dashing my hopes,” Riches writes in the complaint.

Riches wants $63 billion dollars “backed by gold and silver “ delivered to the front gates to the Williamsburg Federal Correctional facility in South Carolina. Riches is an inmate at the facility serving out a wire fraud conviction.

FOXNews.com attempted to contact Vick, but neither he nor his spokesman could be reached for comment.

Houston police said an officer tried to stop a driver on suspicion of a traffic violation on Tierwester Street near Goodhope Street at about 10:45 p.m.

The driver told police he got excited when he saw the lights.


"He did make the statement that he liked to race, and when he sees lights behind him he just likes to go for it," Sgt. Christine Anthony said.

Police said the driver led them around a neighborhood for about 20 minutes. He finally stopped on Cullen Boulevard near Yellowstone Boulevard.

The man faces charges of evading arrest and aggravated assault. Investigators said he tried to run over an officer who laid spike strips on the road.

The man owned the minivan he drove during the pursuit, police said

Elton John wants to shut down the Internet


From today's Crazy Talk Files: Elton John wants the Internet shut down.

"Let's get out in the streets and march and protest instead of sitting at home and blogging," John writes in The Sun newspaper in England. "I do think it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole Internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced over that span. I'm sure, as far as music goes, it would be much more interesting than it is today."

Known recently for championing young artists James Blunt and Ryan Adams, John's column has a bit of a cranky-old-man feel, claiming that technology makes music less interesting and that in the '70s "there were at least 10 albums released every week that were fantastic. Now you're lucky to find 10 albums a year of that quality." (Obviously, John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," which was the top seller of 1974, was fantastic, but can he seriously say there were 519 others that year that were also that good? Really?)

He goes on to say, "The Internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff. Instead they sit at home and make their own records, which is sometimes OK but it doesn't bode well for long-term artistic vision."

Maybe John, who has been one of the top touring acts for decades, hasn't heard that the concert industry is growing, with more shows held last year than ever before. Or maybe he's just out of touch and not paying attention. Nah, couldn't be that.

Police said 33-year-old Jermaine Washington allegedly was so intent on robbing someone Saturday that he pulled a fake handgun on the two armed police officers as they walked through Riverside Park, The New York Daily News said Sunday.

"It was stupid criminal tricks," a police source said. "The guy didn't even look to see who was coming."

After Washington allegedly pulled his fake gun, the two officers drew their real weapons and Washington surrendered after a short but tense standoff.

Man Wakes Up, Is Arrested

KAILUA, Hawaii -- A Kailua burglar was caught after falling asleep on the job, said police.

Police arrested Kainoa Almeida, 21, after they said he was found snoozing in a Ka'apuni Drive home.

A homeowner stopped him during a previous invasion Saturday evening, but he punched the man and got away while the homeowner tried to call 911.
Then at about 6 a.m. Sunday morning at the same home, police said a family found that Almeida allegedly broke in, stacked items near the door and then fell asleep on the floor.

Officers woke him up and arrested him for burglary and assault.

Residents said that they didn’t notice anyone suspicious enter the home, but rarely pay attention to the people coming and going.

"We see it a lot because we're contractors. We see people coming in and out oftentimes we'll see people running out of a house," said Chris Johnston, a Kailua Resident.

Neighbors said they would be more vigilant after the robbery.

"We started a neighborhood watch, you know, and we've been taking turns patrolling the street at night," said Mark Chai a neighbor.

Residents near the burgled home said there was a big party Saturday night, but it's not clear if that's why Almeida was in the neighborhood.

An eagle-eyed Brockville police constable has cracked five city break-ins without even having to leave the office.

The accused, a Brockville man in his 20s, actually managed to put himself on the police radar by walking into the Parkedale Avenue station early Saturday night to make what turned out to be an unfounded theft complaint.

While the man was telling patrol supervisor Constable Garry Dunklin about some money he falsely claimed was stolen from him Friday, his face was recognized by Constable Mike Grant.

"Constable Grant recognized him as a person who was captured on a surveillance camera regarding a break-in," said Deputy Chief Adrian Geraghty this morning.

The man was arrested on the spot and has since admitted to being responsible for a total of five break-ins - all in the Leeds OPP jurisdiction, said Geraghty.

He said the tape was made available to the city force through regular information-sharing between the two agencies.

"We've been in touch with the OPP and they are assisting with the investigation," said Geraghty.

As part of that investigation, city police have since arrested a second Brockville man, also in his 20s, in connection with all five break and enters.

Police were releasing few details about the crimes this morning, including the locations, as Geraghty said they were still piecing together their investigation.

The names of the accused, who are to appear in Brockville court today, were also withheld.

A Texas suspect was trying to get away from police, but instead he needed their help to get free.

The man, 24-year-old Pablo Hernandez, was stuck in a drainage pipe for more than 10 hours, according to police.

At about 9:20 a.m. on July 17, Denton police responded to a trespassing call, according to Officer Jim Bryan of the Denton Police Department.

“He was in a house that didn’t belong to him,” Bryan said.

When an officer arrived at the house, Hernandez jumped out a window and took off on foot. The officer pursued him for about 10 minutes, and Hernandez turned into a drainage canal, Bryan said.

But then Hernandez made his mistake: He tried to enter a 24-inch drainage pipe.

Officers watched the two manholes in that section of pipe, Bryan said, but Hernandez didn’t come out. Then they began the nearly 10-hour process of freeing him.

“We attempted to put a camera into the system and it was blocked with debris. We went down 150 feet and dug a hole, went back in the first direction ... and hit more debris,” Bryan said.

Officers kept searching.

“At one point they dug an additional hole. We saw [the suspect’s] feet,” he said. “They started moving.”

The fire department removed Hernandez, and he was transported to the hospital. He now faces charges of evading arrest.

And what was his master plan?

“He did speak to several media outlets and said he was going to wait until nightfall,” to escape, Bryan said. “I don't know whether that would have happened or not.”

“He's not very smart to go into a drain pipe if he doesn't know where it goes,” he said.

Belgium Prime Minister designate sings wrong national anthem

The man expected to become Belgium's next prime minister has caused a stir by singing the French national anthem when asked to sing the Belgian one.

Yves Leterme, head of the Flemish Christian Democrats, broke into La Marseillaise instead of Belgium's La Brabanconne on the national day.

His gaffe was filmed by Belgian RTBF television, as he was about to attend a church service in Brussels on Saturday.

Dutch- and French-speaking politicians are struggling to form a new coalition.

The outgoing coalition led by Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt is still governing in a caretaker role as negotiations continue.

Clips of Mr Leterme's gaffe have been broadcast on the internet video site YouTube.com.

Footage of him at the church service also showed him failing to sing along to La Brabanconne.

Vague on history

He also made a mistake over Belgium's national day, saying it marked the "proclamation of the constitution". It actually commemorates the inauguration of Leopold I as the country's first king on 21 July 1831.

According to an opinion poll cited by RTBF, just one in five Belgians knows why Belgium has its national day on 21 July.

Mr Leterme's party made big gains in last month's election, ending their eight years in opposition. They won 30 seats in the 150-seat lower house.

Mr Leterme says he wants to increase the autonomy already enjoyed by Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern region where 60% of Belgians live, and French-speaking Wallonia in the south.

No single party bridges the linguistic and geographic gulf between Belgium's two regions.

Traditionally, the prime minister comes from one of the majority Flemish parties.
