SMT 911
Its Too Early For Santa
Buffalo, NY – When Santa comes down the chimney at 2 a.m., you get presents…but when you do it, you get multiple injuries and a criminal trespass charge. A 29-year-old Buffalo woman found this out after she climbed to the roof of a commercial building and tried to climb down the chimney. Her perfect plan went horribly wrong when her ‘climb’ turned into a fall and she had to be rescued by city firefighters and police. Luckily there was no fire going at the bottom, but the woman suffered multiple injuries. She was one of four people arrested in connection with the stunt and was charged with criminal trespassing. If you are planning on attempting this act, at least wear a red suit and wait for December…it might help your case.
Ooops. Wrong Number
Keansburg, NJ – If you’re going to call a kid and threaten to kill him and his mother, make sure you have the right number…but if it is the wrong number, make sure its not the police station. This happened to a 41-year-old woman, who thought she telephoned a teenager to intervene in a dispute between him and another boy, but instead, accidentally called the police station and threatened a dispatcher. Even though the dispatcher answered the phone using a standard format saying: “Keansburg police, this is Dispatcher Swartz at 11:44 p.m.” she still continued to threaten him. The police traced the call to the home seven or eight blocks away and sent an officer over. When the officer arrived, the woman was sitting on her porch, still talking to the dispatcher on the telephone. The patrolman asked her with whom she was speaking, and she replied, “a punk kid.” Wrong. She was charged with making terroristic threats, obstruction, disorderly conduct and harassment and was arrested with a $23,000 bail.
Kegs Away!
Wausau, WI – It’s one thing to get rid of a pipe, a small bag of pot or even a beer can while being pursued by police, but if you throw the keg out the car window they’re bound to notice. A sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop the vehicle for defective rear lights and erratic driving when it sped off at about 3:30 a.m. leading police on a chase at speeds of 120 mph. The three-mile chase didn’t end well for the fleeing four, especially after one of the passengers threw an empty beer keg out the window of their vehicle during the pursuit. The driver, 19, was arrested on charges of first-offense drunken driving and knowingly fleeing an officer. A 21-year-old passenger was arrested on a charge of recklessly endangering safety for throwing an empty keg out the window, and two other passengers, 20, and 18, were cited for underage drinking.
