Believe It...Or Else...

When it comes to oddities, the human race is never (unlike the national economy) running in a deficit. And we're ONLY talking about those pathetically poor choices people make, and not even any sort of physical impairment like conjoined twins, John Merrick, or the dog-faced boy from the pages of the National Inquirer.

-Mother buckles up and gets ticketed.
Of course this (stupid-ass) woman got a ticket. She buckled up the CASE OF BEER she was carrying and neglected to strap in her young daughter. When an officer saw her blow a stop sign, he pulled her over and found HER intioxicated, but found the beer securely fastened in, while the child remained unfettered by a seat belt. Only in St Augustine, Florida, I guess, eh?
((And a person like this is allowed to breed....WHY?))

- Woman takes the "nap" of her life.
Unfortunately, this Indianapolis woman also took the life of her child. Latasha McMorris (a white woman with a black name...how quaint) had passed out on top of her 2 year old son, who later died. The boyfriend found her at the Econolodge they were staying at on the city's NE side. Police stated she appeared to pass out under the influenece of drugs or alcohol, and the case IS being ruled a homicide.
McMorris was arrested previously for alcohol-related offenses. Child Protective Services did not know where McMorris was living at the time of her arrests. She is being held in Marion County lockup on $100,000 bond.

- Man catches break after robbery.
A Minnesota man, one Carlton Davis robbed a woman of her keys and cell phone, and then proceeded to lick the woman's toes. He was caught and sentenced to five years probation. According to the criminal complaint, after he robbed her, he told her "Now, I'm going to suck your feet". If he violates his probation, he faces up to 21 months in jail.
(('ll bet there's a lot of men in prison disappointed over THIS verdict.))

- Some people just never learn.
A Jonesboro Arkansas school shooter (Mitchell Johnson, aged 23) was remanded into federal marshal's custody in Fayetteville after a judge revoked his bond on a recent gun and drug conviction because he was ARRESTED AGAIN over the weekend. Johnson now has a marijuana and theft charge stemming from a debit card at a convienience store where he worked. Last week, a federal jury convicted him of possession of a gun while being a user of of a controlled substance which came from a New Year's Day 2007 arrest. He was 13 when he and another man shot at TEACHERS at Jonesboro Middle School in 1998 after his partner pulled a fire alarm.
((I wonder if HE sucks feet?))

- Who needs a gun?
The FWPD is looking for a man who robbed the Ft. Wayne Greyhound terminal located at 929 Lafayette St at 1833 hrs. 5 February. A woman told police a man walked into the lobby, told everyone to lie on the floor, hopped the counter and demanded she give him money. The man was described as 6 ft tall, medium build, BLACK (big surprise there), wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, jeans and tennis shoes (bet he doesn't play tennis either). He fled the building in an unknown direction (possibly he went UP?).
The woman said the man had jabbed her in the side with an object in his pocket. She said it did not feel like a gun and thought it could possibly be his finger.
((Mom always told me it wasn't polite to POINT.))

- Appeal dropped by Fort Wayne Board of Public Safety.
John Mosley (who obviously should pursue more productive activities than acting the fool) had alleged that FWPD officer (our very own blogger in uniform) Everett White used pepper spray in Mosley's car at Piere's back in November 2007. Mosley complained to an off-duty officer who was at the club. ((Hey, maybe it was a "demo"))
According to the off-duty officer's report, neither Mosley nor his companion were suffering any ill effects from the pepper spray.
The report ALSO said that people have been known to spray Piere's staff and other customers and that's why I'll never go there. You mace me (for no reason)...I shoot you (with a good reason). Simple, huh? It's not like the police walk up to people at random and ask: " Wanna see what pepper spray feels like? Here 'ya go...PSSSSHHHHHHH!!!".
((Maybe if Mr. Mosley hadn't acted in the manner he did, he would have never gotten maced...'ya think?))
City Attorney, Carol Taylor said she found nothing to support that White had violated the FWPD's rules or regulations.
((I could have told them that Everett was doing his job. It's called good policing. And if anyone cares to refute that, they can take a drive-along with an officer to see up close and personal all the crap that has to be dealt with daily BY our officers - 'Nuff said there))

And NOW you know...the news!
