Weird BUT true

Dough! A Florida cop who mistook Krispy Kreme doughnut glaze for meth was discipline­d for flubbing an arrest.

Cpl. Shelby Riggs-Hopkins of Orlando was slapped with a written reprimand for failing to use a department-issued drugtestin­g kit.

A Florida man used the Find My iPhone app to chase down the bandits who stole his gadget — only to learn a nice elderly couple had snagged it by accident.

Jay Skiff, of The Villages, left his iPhone in a golf cart while he popped into a tavern for an hour.

While he was gone, a pair of geezers mistook the cart for one they had rented and drove off to a nearby WinnDixie supermarke­t.

That’s a lot of Fancy Feast. An Austrian supermarke­t manager who was busted embezzling $21,000 moaned to a judge he needed the cash for his precious cat.

The 35-year-old swindler pocketed small amounts of money over months by duping cashiers into believing their till balances were too low. He then made them shell out the difference.

Chinese cops stormed a park in response to complaints that a ferocious tiger was roaming around — only to learn it was just a stuffed animal.

Police rushed to Huaguoshan Park in Zhejiang with guns drawn and found the realistic-looking 3-foot-long toy perched on a bench.

Cops hauled the fluffy toy back to the station.

A German vegan is so nuts for animal rights, she complained that a song about a fox should be banned from her town — and officials listened to her.

Limburg yanked the folk tune “Fox, You Stole the Goose” from the town-hall bell tower PA system after complainin­g it was cruel.

The song’s lyrics include, “Fox, you stole our goose last night/ You picked the fattest one/ Now the hunter’s gone to get you/ With his horse and gun-gun-gun.”
