Weird BUT true

They could have used a second take.

Indiana cops mistook an actor filming a movie for an armed robber and shot at him, according to a report.

Police spotted Jeff Duff — who was wearing a mask and carrying a prop gun — outside of Back Step Brewing Company in Crawfordsville and thought he was breaking in.

They demanded he drop the “weapon,” and when the actor turned toward them, a cop opened fire. The officer missed and hit the building.

Eggstremely unsanitary. A restaurant in Ireland was shuttered when officials spotted three exotic birds flapping around the kitchen prep area.

AJ’s Cafe, a greasy spoon in Galloway, was closed by health officials who cited “animals running loose.”

Owners blamed their troublemaking pet parrots, Ralph, Skittles and Jade, for busting out of their cages.

The cards were stacked against him.

Jerry Rape put $5 into an electric bingo machine and it lit up, saying he’d won $1.3 million. But officials at Wind Creek Casino in Montgomery, Ala., told him the contraption had actually “malfunctioned.”

He sued for breach of contract — but had no luck.

Hair today, in jail tomorrow. Things got hairy for Gal Vallerius, 38, while on the way from France to the Beard and Mustache Championships in Austin, Texas.

Vallerius, who sports a long red beard, was arrested for allegedly selling Oxycontin and Ritalin on the “dark web.”

An elderly Georgia woman acted like a witch when she allegedly tried to hit cops — with a blazing broom.

Cops asked Irene Mercedes Handy, 66, to remove a large banner on her home in Lilburn after neighbors complained.

Instead she allegedly doused a broom in kerosene, set it ablaze and lunged at cops. She was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer.
