Heh, they’ll never know ... KA-BOOM!

- Mike PINGREE

In an effort to disguise the fact that he had been smoking in the family car, a 17-year-old in Duisburg, Germany, sprayed so much air freshener inside the vehicle that it constitute­d a “combustibl­e gas mixture.” When he opened the door, the dome light switched on and caused an explosion that blew out the sunroof.

EXCUSE ME, OFFICER, HAS ANYONE SEEN MY TUNA SANDWICH? ... The bomb squad was sent to an alley in Anchorage, Alaska, to investigat­e a “suspicious package” that turned out to be a lunchbox, which police later said contained only items “one would normally associate with a lunchbox.” I’M STILL IN THE GAME, BABY! ... An 82-year-old man was arrested in Lancaster, Pa., for soliciting a prostitute. THE HEADLIGHT THING

WAS THE LAST STRAW ... A woman was arrested in Goldsboro, N.C., and charged with drug possession, identity theft, larceny of a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, driving with a revoked license, resisting a public officer, possession of stolen goods, providing fictitious informatio­n to an officer, violating probation and failure to dim headlights. AND GET A FAN TO MAKE

MY HAIR ALL BLOWY ... A young woman who was arrested for drunken driving in Xinjiang, China, demanded that officers use a photo editing app on her mugshot so that she would look more attractive.

TO THE HIDEOUT AND

STEP ON IT ... A woman who robbed an Arby's restaurant in Gainesvill­e, Fla., was arrested when she tried to make her getaway in a taxi. YOU CAN’T TELL US

WHAT TO DO, COPPER! ... Two young women stripped off their clothes and went for a late-night dip in the swimming pool of an apartment complex in Myrtle Beach, S.C. When police arrived to investigat­e a noise complaint, the “highly intoxicate­d” ladies refused the cop's order to stay in place while he checked for warrants against them. Then one of them kicked an officer in the crotch. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN,

MA’AM ... A woman was released to the custody of a friend after she was stopped for drunken driving in Streetsbor­o, Ohio, at 9:30 in the morning. Five hours

later, she was pulled over again and was even drunker than before. This time she was locked up. SORRY, I LEFT MY BADGE

AT HOME ... A man who was impersonat­ing a police officer pulled over several women in St. Cloud, Fla., and ordered them to get into his car and leave with him. Instead, they called the real police. I’M IN THE MONEY ... HEY,

WAIT! ... A man broke into the children's center of the YMCA in Indio, Calif., and, after rooting around in the dark, stole only fake money from a toy cash register. UH, THIS ISN’T WHAT I

EXPECTED ... A man hoping to get something going with a young girl sent explicit photos of himself to what turned out to be a Royal Canadian Mounted police officer whose job was preventing sexual misconduct.
