Weird BUT true

This “freebird” could wind up in a cage after allegedly stealing about $12,000 worth of Lynyrd Skynyrd memorabili­a in Florida.

William James Walker, 38, is wanted in the theft of a trailer filled with relics from the band — which were intended to be sold for charity, according to police.

The trailer disappeare­d from the parking lot of a Days Inn hotel in Orange Park on April 9, just one day before the items inside were set to be auctioned off at a cancer benefit to honor late musician, Jimmie Van Zant.

It’s almost un-bee-lievable. A Georgia woman recently found at least 100,000 bees living in her house — and it wasn’t the first time.

Lisa Ohrmundt said she’s had to get swarms of the insects removed from her home in Decatur at least four times since she moved in 14 years ago.

Once wasn’t enough. A Florida man allegedly stole a police car and led officers on a wild chase before he crashed — and then stole a second cop cruiser.

Xavier Cummings, 33, managed to take off in both a marked Cocoa Police Department patrol car and a Cocoa Police K-9 vehicle on Thursday. He was eventually arrested.

It’s a made-for-TV story. A woman has been reunited with her biological mother after 50 years apart — and recognized her from an television show she used to watch as a child.

Thanks to a DNA test, Lisa Wright was able to meet her mom, Lynne Moody, who starred in the series “That’s My Mama” in the 1970s.

“I grew up watching my mother on TV and didn’t even know it,” Wright said.

How fowl.

A hiker in Missouri was accidental­ly shot Saturday by a hunter who mistook him for a turkey, police said.

The man, whose name was not released, had to be airlifted from the August A. Busch Memorial and Weldon Spring Conservati­on Area in St. Charles County.
