Weird BUT true

The owners of a Pennsylvan­ia golf course have been fined $1,000 for failing to do anything about bad players who are firing shots into a neighbor’s property.

The Morgan Hill Golf Course in Easton was supposed to install cameras to track “all golf swings and the trajectory of all golf balls” on the 13th hole.

The footage would hopefully find a solution to protect Jerzy and Halina Wisniewski, whose property has been hit by 50 golf balls over the years.

A Northampto­n County judge fined the owners for failing to install the cameras.

A man who stole a cop car in South Dakota was caught after the cruiser ran out of gas, officials said.

The man called for help on Highway 281 near Tulare, saying his car had run out of fuel. He acted erraticall­y when a Spink County deputy showed up, before stealing the lawman’s car.

He was arrested when the police car ran out of gas after 140 miles.
