A great plan to meet the ladies or what?

- Mike Pingree

A man, who was desperate for romance, would slash the tires of women and then wait until they returned to their vehicles so that he could be the first on the scene to offer help. His lawyer remarked that he had probably done it about 1,000 times in several cities across Japan over the past 10 years or so.

YOU CALL THAT EVIDENCE!? An intoxicate­d man got very belligeren­t with workers at a Subway restaurant in Akron, Ohio, forced his way behind the counter, and made his own sandwich. Arresting officers say they found a bottle of vodka and a block of Subway cheese in his pockets.

THE PERFECT MAN FOR THE JOB: An attorney showed up drunk at a Tennessee courthouse to represent a suspect accused of driving while intoxicate­d. Witnesses said he arrived late, smelled of alcohol and behaved erraticall­y.

YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT I’M PEEVED! An intoxicate­d 55stoned.” year-old man got very upset when he lost multiple armwrestli­ng contests to his juvenile son at their home in Boone County, Ohio, fired two shots into the ceiling, and held authoritie­s at bay for nearly eight hours.

WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON: A man stole a Toyota Land Cruiser, and led police on a chase through Newberg, Ore., until he crashed into a Buick Regal which was also stolen and being driven by a woman who had a little too much to drink.

IT WILL BE THERE WHEN I SOBER UP: A British woman, who converted to Islam and allied herself to the terrorist group ISIS, told a court that she was supposed to carry out a suicide bombing on St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, but did not go ahead with it because she was “too WAKEY-WAKEY, EGGS AND BAKEY! A heavily intoxicate­d woman drove her MercedesBe­nz backward down the left lane of the Pennsylvan­ia Turnpike for at least half a mile. A truck driver stopped his tractor-trailer behind her to prevent an accident. Officers found her passed out in the vehicle with all the doors locked.

LESSON NO. 1, BRAKE PEDAL VS. GAS PEDAL: A man, who was learning how to drive, struck another vehicle in the Penn Hills Shopping Center parking lot, and plowed into the Pennsylvan­ia Driver’s License Center. He ended up about a quarter of the way into the building.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? British police reported “major disorder” throughout England as pubs reopened last week at 6 o’clock in the morning after a four-month lockdown. The cops had to answer more than 1,000 calls, most of which were “drink-related.” One official said that officers had to deal with “naked men, happy drunks, angry drunks, fights and more angry drunks.”

MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST WAKE UP EARLIER, PAL: A man who led police on a 20-mile, high-speed chase through the Florida Keys told officers that he was late for a flight leaving out of Miami Internatio­nal Airport.

HEY, I’M UP HERE! A man tried to break into a building in Houston by sliding down a pipe on the roof, but got wedged in and had to scream to passers-by for help. It took fire crews 45 minutes to remove him.
