The beginning of a beautiful relationsh­ip

- Mike Pingree

A few hours after their wedding at a Naples, Fla., hotel, a newlywed couple had an argument in their room which ended in a fistfight, with the groom complainin­g that his bride had head-butted him and the bride in tears with her face and chest covered in blood. Since each of them claimed that the other was the “primary aggressor,” both were arrested for domestic battery.

What’s so ‘strange’ aBout that? After a maintenanc­e technician at a feed mill in Nephi, Utah, who had “been acting strange lately,” called in sick, his supervisor “found what looks like a hit list on his desk” with more than a dozen coworkers listed as targets, and detailed plans on how he would kill them. Police found multiple firearms at his home. But he insisted the note “was just words written on a piece of paper.”

looks like she hasn’t learneD her lesson: Less than an hour after being released from the St. Tammany Parish Correction­al Center, where she had been booked on theft and drug charges, a 27-year-old woman stole a red Chevy Camaro that was left running outside a fast-food restaurant in Covington, La. Cops caught up with her when she sideswiped another car.

You Call that eViDenCe!? A man has apparently been stealing bicycles in Oxfordshir­e, England, for quite a long time and storing hundreds of them outdoors in his back garden in Littlemore. Police discovered the “mountain of bikes,” which is so big that it can be seen from space by Google Maps satellites.

sorrY, Ma’aM, that’s one For the ChiCken PoliCe: A woman called 911 in Euclid, Ohio, to complain that she had paid for 8 pieces of chicken at a KFC and received only 4. She asked if there was anything that the police could do about it. There was not.

Wheeee! A 20-year-old Amish guy was arrested for drunken driving in Brookville, Pa., because he was driving the horse-drawn buggy so recklessly that the wheels were throwing sparks. He told police he “had a couple of beers.”

olD haBits Die harD, Your honor: A woman, who was summoned to court in Dublin, Calif., to face auto theft charges, arrived in a stolen car.

i’M an aDDiCt, not a CriMinal: A young guy met with someone in Port Richey, Fla., who had offered to sell him the latest Xbox, but, when the seller showed it to him, he grabbed it and ran. He told arresting officers that he had no intention of paying for the console and that he stole it because he has a “video game addiction,” and he didn’t have the money for it. He is charged with robbery by sudden snatching.

You Just Went a little too Far, laDY: A woman, who was so drunk that she was barred from boarding an airplane at Orlando Internatio­nal Airport, rode away from the gate on a motorized suitcase as a police officer on a bicycle followed her after she refused to leave the terminal at the officer’s request. He wound up arresting her after she became belligeren­t and spit on him.
