  • Dumb awards....

    So been kicking around the idea of starting a thread to celebrate the stupidity of people in the news!! So here we go:

    Stoners surprised, caught smoking pot in police lot
    Flower children of the 60s used to stress the importance of set and setting when consuming drugs.

    That knowledge apparently didn't make it down to three New Jersey stoners.

    On Tuesday night, Tpr. Erik Tapia was headed to work. He pulled into the parking lot of Troop B in Totowa, which serves most of northeast New Jersey.

    As Tapia stepped out of his car he immediately was hit by the acrid scent of burning pot.

    The source of the smoke: a 2002 Oldsmobile parked a few cars away. Three men were inside the car along with small bags of suspected marijuana in plain sight, said spokesman Lt. Steven Jones.

    They couldn't have been confused about where they were parked. The trio had been waiting for a fourth man who had gone into the police barracks to retrieve an impounded car.

    Tapia, whose shift hadn't even begun, didn't have to wait for his first arrest of the evening, Jones said.

    He called out to other troopers who arrived at the scene instantly.

    The appearance of law enforcement officers startled the men in the car.

    "Imagine their surprise," Jones said. "They obviously weren't expecting to see troopers."

    A search of the car turned up 15 small bags of marijuana and more than a dozen pills of suspect ecstasy. Arrested and charged with drug possession were Tamer Abdelrahim, 22 of West Paterson; and Isaias Parrilla, 22, Hensly Nunez, 21, and Bernardo Cuevas, 23, all of Paterson.

    The term that comes to mind here.... Here's your sign!!!!

    Cops: SC woman stabs man, throws fake leg in yard


    GREENWOOD, S.C. — Police say a South Carolina woman stabbed her boyfriend, then threw his prosthetic leg in the yard to prevent him from chasing her.
    Greenwood police say 48-year-old Michelle Thomas called them Monday night and said she grabbed a knife and stabbed her boyfriend after he hit her.
    Thomas said she swung the knife at him, then pulled off his prosthetic leg and tossed it and a spare leg out the door before calling police.
    Authorities say the boyfriend told them Thomas had attacked him for no reason. He was treated at a hospital for cuts to his hands and leg.
    Thomas has been charged with aggravated criminal domestic violence and has been released from jail. She declined to comment on her case Wednesday when reached by phone.

      Cops say ticketed driver returned to scene on scooter, fired at officer

      Baldwin Park, known for large homes, walking trails and family-friendly special events, became the scene of a violent confrontation Wednesday when a 63-year-old driver punched and shot at a police sergeant who had written him a ticket for running a stop sign, investigators said.

      Sgt. Kevin Roberson stopped William Jasper Cates' car just after 3 p.m. at Fox and Juel streets and wrote the citation, said Sgt. Jim Young, an Orlando police spokesman.

      About half an hour later, Cates blew through the stop sign again, this time on a scooter, Young said. But Roberson let him go.

      The situation escalated when Roberson went to see whether Cates was OK. That's when Cates punched the sergeant several times in the face and pulled a "high-powered" handgun and shot at him twice, Young said. Roberson subdued Cates, who was arrested and taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center.

      Neither man was seriously hurt.

      The confrontation happened in the 900 block of Hobbs Alley, a block from where Cates was ticketed. Investigators found a bullet lodged in the front of a house there.

      "We're very fortunate that no one was shot," Young said.

      Orange County court records show no previous arrests for Cates, who lives less than a mile away in Baldwin Park. Cates previously lived in Illinois, about 35 miles north of St. Louis, public records show.

      Baldwin Park residents said they were surprised when they saw police lights and crime-scene tape and heard the drone of three news helicopters hovering overhead.

      "I thought this was one of the safer parts of Orlando," said Michelle Runzer, who passed the crime scene as she took a walk.

        A company trying to continue its five-year perfect safety record showed its workers a film aimed at encouraging the use of safety goggles on the job. According to Industrial Machinery News, the film's depiction of gory industrial accidents was so graphic that twenty-five workers suffered minor injuries in their rush to leave the screening room. Thirteen others fainted, and one man required seven stitches after he cut his head falling off a chair while watching the film.

          KFC worker tells Omaha police he lost 6 days' worth of deposits

          The employee left the restaurant at 13715 Q St. about noon March 19, according to a police report.

          He spent the next six hours at two Omaha bars.

          At 9 a.m. the next morning, the man called a fellow employee, saying he had just discovered the cash was missing.

          The man told police the company deposit bag was left in a sports car he was borrowing and that the doors to the vehicle do not lock.

          Police did not specify how much money was lost. No arrests had been made.

                  Bad idea: Using the side of Interstate 93 as a gun range

                  Four men were arrested in New Hampshire on Saturday after pulling over on Interstate-93 and using the woods off the highway as a shooting range.

                  Police arrested Sherif Hashem, Bryan Sola, Sean Kelly, and Adam Kelly for felony charges of reckless operation after reports of shots fired close to the Interstate on Saturday. The four had pulled off the highway and marched just a few yards into the woods before using an assortment of weapons to target shoot. Shockingly, Police say the four were shooting in the direction of the highway. Residents who live near the highway reported shots fired around 4pm.

                  Police do not think there was any malice involved and the men were not trying to shoot at anyone or any cars. The men had hundreds of rounds of ammunition with them only 87-yards from the road.

                  This section of the highway is near a highly populated area and is highly trafficked as a main route between Boston, MA and Manchester, NH. Why did these guys think they could target practice off a busy Interstate? We may never know. All four are scheduled to a court date in June.

                    Boy driving car that hit Toronto McDonald's, police say

                    A four-year-old boy was behind the wheel of an uninsured Toyota Camry that crashed into a McDonald's restaurant in northwest Toronto on Sunday afternoon, police say.

                    Toronto police Sgt. Doodnath Churkoo says that the car was left running while the boy's father went into the restaurant to pick up some food.

                    The child's mother was in the rear seat of the vehicle, while the boy was left in the driver's seat.

                    Churkoo says the boy put the car in gear, causing the vehicle to drive into the McDonald's, which is located in the Jane Street and Finch Avenue area in the northwest section of the city.

                    When police arrived at the scene, the mother claimed she was driving when the car hit the fast-food restaurant. But Churkoo says witnesses told police that the child was in the driver's seat when the accident happened.

                    Churkoo says both parents have been charged with obstructing a peace officer.

                      And the best one for today.....

                      Motorcycle-Riding Easter Bunny Gets Lesson on Helmet Law

                      t’s not every day that a CHP officer has to make a traffic stop on the Easter Bunny.

                      Oddly enough, that’s exactly what happened to San Diego CHP officer Adam Griffiths, who pulled over a motorcyclist with a sidecar who was dressed as a
                      giant rabbit on a La Mesa freeway Saturday.

                      “Griffiths stopped the motorcyclist on westbound Interstate 8 at Jackson Drive for not wearing a helmet,” CHP East County PIO Brian Pennings said. “The guy was on his way to a charity event.”

                      Pennings said Griffiths radioed in: “I’m stopping the Easter Bunny.”

                      Pennings' partner in his squad car pulled up and snapped a picture of the giant rabbit, after he hopped off his vehicle and got a lecture from Griffiths. The photo was widely distributed in the media, and has been getting worldwide play in the blogosphere.

                      “Griffiths told him it was a serious situation and that it wasn't a joke,” Pennings said. “He explained to him the safety ramifications of not having a helmet.

                      The CHP officer told the giant bunny “his outfit was a visual impairment, he was not able to be aware of his surroundings, and therefore he threatened his own safety, and that of others.”

                      Pennings said safe motorcyclists constantly need to turn their heads to observe traffic to their side or behind them.

                      The rabbit wasn’t issued a citation by Griffiths. He just got a warning.

                      Then he hopped away, with his head in the sidecar. He didn’t want to be late to a very important date.

                            A more subtle story is that someone named their kid Doodnath Churkoo. If he goes by Dood, his name would be Dood Churkoo which would sound like Dude Your Cool.

                              After 'Tan Mom,' New Jersey bans children from tanning beds, spray

                              NEWARK, N.J. — New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a bill into law on Monday banning children under 17 from using commercial tanning beds, a move stemming from the case of a local woman accused of taking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth.
                              Under the new law, youth age 17 and older must have a parent or guardian present for an initial consultation with a tanning salon. It also bans children under 14 from getting spray tans in tanning salons. Christie said that while he does not favor government regulation of small business, the new law was important for protecting the safety of minors. "Governmental regulation of the private sector should always be carefully scrutinized, and sparingly adopted," he said in a statement. "The new restrictions imposed by this bill followed a single but breathlessly reported incident of a parent bringing a minor child into a tanning facility."
                              Patricia Krentcil of Nutley, New Jersey, was arrested in April 2012 after her daughter showed up at school with a sunburn and officials accused her of taking the child into a tanning booth. Krentcil, who became known in tabloid stories as the "Tan Mom," testified that her own chocolate-brown hue came from many hours spent under the intense ultraviolet light of a tanning bed or out in the sun soaking up rays.
                              She denied exposing her daughter to a tanning session, and a grand jury opted not to indict her on charges of endangering the welfare of a child. New Jersey was already one of several states that have regulations prohibiting anyone age 14 or younger from tanning with commercial ultraviolet devices because of the risk of skin cancer. The new law extends that ban to older teenagers. Signing the bill into law, Christie noted the skin cancer risk and also that tanning before age 35 has been shown to increase the risk for melanoma by 75 percent.
