Weird BUT true

The true crime was not picking up a Double-Double.

Josh Adkins led Phoenix police on a wild chase that included a stop to order food in an In-N-Out Burger’s drive-thru lane.

When Adkins realized he was being tailed, he fled without his food but was busted on an outstandin­g warrant, cops said.

A 28-year-old Florida man was injured when a truck — the one he’d been driving moments earlier — ran over his leg.

The man had just left the Dancers Royale strip club in Orlando when he fell out of his pickup truck and the runaway Ford rolled over his right leg, the highway patrol said.

The truck kept going until it crashed into a house, injuring a woman inside, authoritie­s said.

An Ohio University student’s excuse for skipping class Tuesday kind of hit it out of the park.

When asked why he had checked in, swiping an ID, but missed end-of-class attendance, Charlie Turner sent a photo of himself with his dad at Game 1 of the World Series in Cleveland. Turner also said he had stopped by class to leave his homework.

His prof, Damian Nance, a Cleveland Indians fan, called it “an impeccable excuse” and added “no repercussi­ons.”

Watch out, gobblers! The Davis, Calif., City Council approved plans to trap, relocate and kill some of the more aggressive birds bothering city residents.

They may also bar people from feeding turkeys.

Here’s the real poop. A Pennsylvan­ia man who flashed a Secret Service badge during a traffic stop to get a hotel discount was a fraud, authoritie­s say.

Christophe­r Diiorio, 53, is really a worker at Doodle Scoopers, a company that scoops up pet feces, cops say. Diiorio pleaded not guilty to federal charges of conspiracy and using a false badge and fraudulent official seal.
