I know I did wrong, but it sure made me feel better

- Mike PINGREE

A very unhappy man, who was bullied and ridiculed by his fellow workers at a car servicing company in Strood, England, used his position as accounts manager to embezzle more than $325,000, much of which he spent on drugs and extravagan­t parties featuring a large number of prostitute­s.

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT, SIR? … Police took a man into custody after he was spotted at a convenienc­e store in Mystic Islands, N.J., punching himself in the face.

A VERY LOVING FAMILY … A woman said she was thinking of calling off her wedding when she discovered that her fiance’s 16year-old son had gotten her 15year-old daughter pregnant.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY,

MA’AM … A woman driving an SUV in Ashwaubeno­n, Wis., veered off the road, went between two houses, struck a tree, continued through a yard and hit a utility pole before her vehicle got wedged on a rock. She told arresting officers, “I’m not gonna lie. I’m drunk.”

HELLO, SIR, MAY I ASK HOW YOU HEARD ABOUT US? … A man fell off a rooftop Brooklyn billboard advertisin­g a famous personal injury law firm.

GO AHEAD, PUNK, MAKE MY DAY!

… KA-BLAM! … A man was talking to his mother in the parking lot of a supermarke­t in Huntsville, Ala., when two punks pulled up in a car that they had carjacked, drew their guns and tried to rob them. So the guy pulled out his own gun and opened fire, wounding one of them. Panicked, they jumped back into the car and crashed it almost immediatel­y.

LOOKS LIKE CLEAR SAILING … UHOH! … A traffic signal malfunctio­ned at the corner of 30th Street and 18th Avenue in Moline, Ill. Everyone went. Everyone crashed. NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL A CLUE … A man struck up a conversati­on with a woman at a library in Vineland, N.J., gave her his business card and then exposed himself to her. He left when she alerted library staff, but police were able to track him down because of — you know — the business card.

WE HEAR THAT A LOT, SIR … A 70year-old man driving westbound on Interstate 4 in Lakeland, Fla., at more than 100 mph while sitting on top of his sunroof told arresting officers that he would rather get arrested than to go back home to his wife.

THIS VEHICLE BELONG TO YOU,

SIR? … A man loaded up a motorized shopping cart with groceries at the Wegmans in Canandaigu­a, N.Y., then drove it from the store without paying, stealing both the food and the cart. County police pulled him over on Eastern Boulevard.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE ‘NOT

IN THE MOOD’?! … Police arrested a “naked and belligeren­t” woman at her Vero Beach, Fla., apartment after she attacked her fiance because he refused to have sex with her.

CASE CLOSED … While a deputy sheriff was investigat­ing a stolen truck in Gloversvil­le, N.Y., the thief drove the vehicle in question right by where the deputy was standing. Officers who pulled the guy over found crack cocaine, Suboxone, marijuana and a handgun in the truck.
