It’s often said that security guards are wannabe cops. Have you ever heard that said about refs? Me either. But check this out, as reported by wwl.com:
An apparent argument over crowd control between high school football referees and members of the Covington Police Department led to the arrest of two members of the officiating crew.
You probably saw that coming. So what happened?
Believe me, The Juice is all for a dad spending as much time as possible with his son. Perhaps that needs a little qualification. That time should not include committing burglary together, while intoxicated! Doh! Check out this story, as reported by whnt.com:
A father and son are in the DeKalb County Jail, facing burglary and other charges. Authorities say one of them fell asleep on the botched job.
According to reports, 37-year-old Christopher Wright and his son, 19-year-old Caleb Wright, broke into a woman’s home in the Cartersville community overnight Sunday. Authorities say the two were apparently intoxicated and stole several items from the home.
Here’s a question for all you criminals out there, and anyone else with a modicum of common sense, or anyone who has ever watched TV (so, basically everyone): If you’re committing a crime, what’s a good way to hide your identity? You will never guess the method employed by these three fellas. As reported by brooklynpaper.com, in the 68th Precinct (Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights):
Three thugs holding their hands over their faces jumped a woman on 63rd Street on Sept. 24, police state.
Your hands? First of all, your hands? Second, that leaves you with just 3 hands total to commit the crime. Third, doesn’t that make it hard to see what you’re doing? Brilliant!
This may sound crazy, but when you make a call on your cell phone, there’s a record of it. And that record can come back to bite you in the arse, as may very well happen to this New Hampshire man. As reported by The New Hampshire Union Leader:
An alleged serial burglar who prosecutors say called his victims to see if they were home testified that he had nothing to do with breaking into seven homes in Rockingham County.
Joshua Fowler, 34, formerly of Sandown and Derry, is on trial for playing a role in the break-ins that happened at homes in Derry, Londonderry and Hampstead between October 2009 and March 2010.
Apparently this gent was a real peach on the flight. But that was nothing compared to his antics as he departed the plane. As reported by The Manchester Evening News:
A drunken jet passenger was tasered by police after stripping naked on the airpot tarmac – and challenging the captain to a fight.
The 52-year-old man, who had arrived in Manchester on an easyJet flight from Malta, also urinated up the side of the Terminal One building.
Mother of the day! So maybe she didn’t tell her kid to go play in traffic. What this Texas mom did do, though, was arguably worse. As reported by khou.com
Police in League City arrested a woman Monday night accused of making her 10-year-old son walk along the Gulf Freeway frontage road as a form of punishment.
According to the police department, officers received a report of a child walking on the shoulder of the 2100 block of the Gulf Freeway around 8:30 p.m.
Exactly how did this burglar get busted by a cucumber? Here’s how, as reported by The Hull Daily Mail:
A dozy burglar was caught by police after having a bite out of a cucumber.

You do know that when you fire a bullet in the air, it will land somewhere, right? One man in particular is keenly aware of this. As reported by the Pinellas County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office:
According to reports, [Richard John] Smeraldo, his wife and friends were watching the fireworks display near the Safety Harbor Spa and Marina when something struck him in the face. He told deputies that he first thought he had been struck by a rock. But one of his friends found a bullet on the blanket next to her – and then Smeraldo realized he had been struck by the bullet.
Yikes.
