Lots of cash and a new BMW, what could possibly go wrong?

- Mike Pingree

A man took a BMW for a test drive, robbed a bank in Wolfforth, Texas, then drove back to the dealership, where he tried to buy the car using $3,000 of the stolen cash as a down payment. It didn’t work. He is now doing 20 years in prison.

BUT IT IS STARTING TO LOOK FAMILIAR: A woman was arrested for driving while impaired after she made several trips through a McDonald’s drive-thru in Roaring Spring Borough, Pa., at 10:30 p.m., forgetting that she had been there previously each time.

TOTALLY WORTH THE RISK: A wanted man, who escaped from prison last year in Buckingham­shire, England, where he had been serving a 17-year sentence for robbery, was caught when he came out of hiding to buy the new Call Of Duty video game.

AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM, OFFICER? Police found a heavily intoxicate­d man, whose driver’s license had been revoked, asleep behind the wheel of his running car at an intersecti­on in Nashville, Tenn. Officers arrested him for drunk driving after they asked him where he thought he was, and he replied, “in his bed.”

COMFY, SIR? A Wisconsin state trooper who pulled over a pickup truck for an equipment violation found that the driver was sitting in a camping chair where the driver’s seat was supposed to be. There were no other seats in the vehicle.

WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU’RE HIGH, SIR? A man who was high on drugs almost hit a fuel pump at a gas station in Naples, Fla., and asked a deputy for help calling AAA because his car wouldn’t start, even though the keys were not in the ignition at the time. Then, instead of giving the deputy his driver’s license as requested, he gave him a package of “cannabis-infused” gummies, which contain 500 mg of THC.

REPLACE IT WITH, “HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, BUSTER!?”

Moved by the inspiratio­nal nature of the message “keep going,” a young woman made the mistake of having it tattooed near her nether region, realizing only later that it could be interprete­d as sexual, due to its location. When her relatives pointed this out to her, she immediatel­y had it removed. SO, WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA WHO HE IS: A man broke into the Alpena Township, Mich., home of a woman he knew. She came home as he was leaving, recognized him and yelled his name. He fled the scene, but he had used a debit card with his name on it to gain entry which he accidental­ly left behind.

YOU CALLED THE WRONG GUY, MA’AM: An intoxicate­d woman drove her car into a ditch in Nashville, Tenn., at midnight and called her friend to come and help her. Alas, her friend, who was also drunk, came and crashed his pickup truck into her vehicle.

THIS BELONG TO YOU, SIR?

Police, acting on a warrant to search a mobile home in Burbank, Wash., for stolen catalytic converter parts, instead found a 400-pound slide that had been stolen from a playground in Pasco inside a child’s bedroom.
