He’s berry sorry. A Utah man who sparked a massive wildfire apologized to neighbors by giving them jars of jam.

“There’s no proper way to say, ‘Terribly sorry for scaring everyone half-todeath,’ ” wrote Jayson Orvis, who accidental­ly set off the fire while building a kids adventure course on his property in Bountiful, Utah.

Will you marry . . . oops! Seth Dixon dropped to a knee on a Kansas City bridge to propose to longtime girlfriend Ruth Salas.

They’re hunting for a panda-costumed thief who ran into Dick’s Sporting Goods in Williston on Monday and ran off with an airsoft rifle.

A man in China got so sick of handing his hardearned paycheck directly over to his wife that he faked a robbery to keep it.

The husband, identified only as Cai, told Hangzhou cops he had been mugged while riding home on an electric scooter.

But after police reviewed surveillan­ce footage of the “crime” location, the man admitted making up the holdup to keep the dough, according to cops.
