So often it’s the little things that trip up scofflaws. Take this case, where the gent was busted for a very, very minor offense, and then it kept getting worse. As reported by The Brooklyn Paper’s Police Blotter:
Police arrested an upstate man in Brooklyn Heights on drugs and weapons charges after transit officers stopped the alleged crook for hopping a turnstile on Thursday, according to a report.
A turnstile! That’s $2.75, or $3.00 at the most!
Really, who says lawmakers don’t accomplish anything? Check out this Indiana law:

What would you do if you had a sweet tooth, but no cashish to satisfy it? Hopefully not what this gent in Louisiana did. As reported by The Advocate:
The suspected “Brownie Bandit,” a burglar with a sweet tooth, was arrested after a more-than-two-week run pilfering a Gonzales bakery of its stocks of sugary baked goods and other treats, police said.

Normally when a woman finds her husband appetizing, that would be a good thing, right? Not this time! Per The Palm Beach Post:
City police say a woman poured barbecue sauce on her husband and went after him with a knife in each hand Tuesday, according to an arrest report made public Wednesday.
Viven Palmer, 30, faces charges of battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting an officer. She was released late Tuesday from the Palm Beach County Jail on $5,000 bail.
Everyone knows that, with each passing day, more surveillance cameras go up pretty much all over the place. One would think police officers are well aware of this since they often use surveillance footage in their investigations. One would appear to be wrong, at least as far as this officer goes. As reported by abc7.com:
It was an NYPD raid to crack down on the illegal selling of untaxed cigarettes, but the manager of a Brooklyn deli says the day after police raided his store, he discovered that he had been robbed.
Now, he’s accusing one of the detectives, and he has surveillance video as proof.
We get it. You’re mad at your boyfriend. So sure, bust his TV. But the goldfish? That’s just mean. As reported by The Orlando Sentinel :

Angela Garcia, 32, was charged with felony criminal mischief and animal cruelty on Saturday, according to a report from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
“Hey buddy, I think you’ve had a few too many. Why don’t you let me drive you home?” That didn’t go over so well. As reported by The New Hampshire Union Leader:
A Raymond man was arrested early Friday after hitting a friend in the parking lot of the Raymond American Legion with his vehicle and fleeing the scene, police said.
Edward Miller, 56, was charged with driving under the influence of liquor and conduct after an accident, police said.
Warning: Not safe if you are about to eat. There are some things you just don’t do in public. This is damn near the top of the list. As reported by The Daily Mail:
London Midland has vowed to give police CCTV images of a ‘disgusting’ passenger suspected of defecating inside a train carriage as it traveled through the Birmingham area.
The passenger who made the awful discovery said the smell was so bad that it forced the operator to cancel the service from Lichfield Trent Valley to Longbridge.
Why not just see how many stolen things you can try and put inside of each other? Then it’s like you only have to walk out with one stolen thing! This young lady didn’t take it that far. Regardless, it didn’t work. As reported by The Northwest Florida Daily News:
A 19-year-old Alabama woman was caught trying to shoplift alcohol by sneaking it out in a stolen purse, according to Crestview Police Department.
According to the arrest report, Carlie Raybon, of Opp, Ala., was in Wal-Mart on May 20 when the asset protection associate saw her take a black handbag and two alcoholic beverages from inside the store.
There are lots of ways to resist arrest. This one in particular, every male officer would likely agree, should carry an enhanced sentence. As reported by The Chicago Tribune:
“Something’s wrong with her,” said Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr., who initially ordered the 20-year-old held on $50,000 bail. After a short recess, Bourgeois decided to instead release Ashleigh Heather Edwards on an individual recognizance bond with electronic monitoring.
You’re curious, right? What did she do?
