Weird BUT true

Hiring a PI to catch a cheating spouse is so yesterday.

A Pennsylvan­ia man, who calls himself John, went way more high-tech.

He used a drone to tail his wife of 18 years from 400 feet overhead. And when he caught her meeting another man in a drugstore parking lot, John posted his video on YouTube, where it’s grabbed more than 5 million views.

Alabama prison inmates have their own viral-video drama.

As part of the frozen-inaction mannequin challenge, the Holman Prison inmates brawl, pray in a circle and do push-ups.

One problem: If the scenes were recorded by a prisoner, that’s a felony. An investigat­ion is ongoing.

Connecticu­t state troopers gave a hoot.

When they saw an injured owl in the middle of Route 15 near Woodbridge on Tuesday, they scooped up the bird.

The owl was taken to a local vet, where he was treated for an eye injury and transporte­d to a raptor-rescue center for rehab. Drone-to-drone rescue. A drone operator crashed his craft on top of a building in Detroit.

That’s when a pal and fellow drone operator came to the rescue, sending his craft in to hook up with the prone drone and bringing it back to safety.

What’s harder than jacking wheels off an airplane?

Trying to sell those same wheels.

Crooks ripped off wheels from a 1950 Piper PA-20 in Wasilla, Alaska, and left the plane on blocks.

They were eventually caught after trying to sell the wheels online, police said.

Troopers arranged for the buy to go down in the parking lot of a McDonald’s.

That’s where they busted Donney Carlson, 22, and Justin Jacobsen, 28, in connection with the high-flying caper, authoritie­s said.
