Wake up, I’ve got a surprise for you … SMUSH!

- Mike PINGREE

A woman planned a surprise birthday party for her boyfriend at their house in Dunedin, Fla., but he “came home late and had been drinking,” which sparked a very loud argument and lots of name-calling at 1 o’clock in the morning. She was still mad as he was trying to go to sleep, so she got the cake — which included the words “Happy Birthday Love” — and slammed it on his head.

ALMOST MADE IT! ... A Connecticu­t court ordered an interlock device installed in the car of a convicted drunken driver that would trigger an alarm and shut down the vehicle shortly after if he failed to provide a clean breath sample. Despite the device, police say he was caught driving drunk again. This time he was speeding toward his Manchester home with the alarm blaring in the hopes of getting there before the car shut down.

NICE OUTFIT, SIR, COME WITH US ... A naked man burst into a woman’s home in Daytona Beach, Fla., and then ran erraticall­y through the house, prompting her to run next door. While she was gone, he went into her bedroom and started trying on her clothes. When the police arrived, he was wearing her clothes and rolling around in the yard.

IT’S SHOWTIME! ... A man has been locked up for hiring prostitute­s to strip on his neighbor’s front porch in Elkhorn, Neb., as many as 75 times over the past three years as he watched from his house.

WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU, SIR ... Police in Anchorage, Alaska, tried to pull over a man for driving without his headlights on but he refused to stop. They declined to pursue him because it was a minor violation, even though they spotted him several times throughout the night. Finally, at 4 a.m., officers were parked at the McDonald’s while investigat­ing a stabbing nearby, when the guy pulled into the drive-thru to get some food. He was arrested.

AND WE WON’T ARREST YOU, HONEST ... Police found seven trash bags full of marijuana on the side of the road in North Yorkshire, England. They have asked that owner come to the station to claim it.

OH, IN THAT CASE, I’LL PUT YOU RIGHT THROUGH ... A man called the 911 police emergency number as sheriff’s deputies chased him for seven miles down U.S. 41 in Collier County, Fla. The operator urged him to pull over, but the man — sounding panicked and desperate — responded by asking him to call President Trump, who he said “is a close friend of mine.”

DON’T TRY THE SCAMPI AT HIS HOUSE, JUST SAYIN’

... A man was arrested at a supermarke­t in Dauphin County, Pa., for stuffing several bags of shrimp down his down his pants and attempting to leave without paying for them.

I WAS SURE I COULD FIT

... A man trying to burglarize a chicken restaurant in Handsworth, England, got stuck in an extractor fan hole for seven hours. He had to call for help.
