Dimwits mistakenly call police when trying to buy drugs

If you aren’t the brightest bulb on the planet …

If you’re in a hurry to get some dope calling 911 might not be your best move. Have you ever text messaged or paged someone and added 911 to your message so that the person would know it was urgent? Well, Pomona California Police say that two suspects trying to page a drug dealer from a payphone mistakenly called 911 as they were trying to make an urgent dope deal.

Michael Olivieri, a Police sergeant, says that dispatchers traced the call and sent officers to the location. When the police arrived they arrested Paul White and Ryan Ogie after searching a care with stolen plates and finding suspected burglary tools.

The men admitted to mistakenly calling 911. All that Sergeant Olivieri had to say to that was “No one said criminals are smart.”

Anything will do when beating off a burglar

A yonkers home owner discovered an intruder in his home early one morning at 1:30 am. He could hear the man banging the kitchen door and fumbling with the door knob as he attempted to break into the home.

The homeowner opened to door to see who was trying to get in and the intruder barged into his home.

That’s when the homeowner, unsure of the safety of his children and wife upstairs, grabbed the fire extinguisher and sprayed the would be robber with foam. He then hit him over the head with the fire extinguisher and held him down until the police arrived to arrest the burglar.

The intruder was taken to the hospital by the police and treated for minor wounds. He was scheduled to be arraigned in Yonkers City Court on a felony charge of second degree attempted burglary.

Watch where you hide when you escape the police

Did you hear the one about the burglar who was arrested but managed to escape?

Brian Valentino had been arrested for burglary and as he was being transported to the Onondaga County Jail in Syracuse last week he kicked out the back window of the police car and dove out of the opening.

Even though he was still handcuffed he managed to run a short distance to a nearby building. He entered the building and ran down a hallway and hid behind a door.

Unfortunately Valentino’s hiding place was inside the County Sheriffs office. Valentino must have missed the big yello star on the entrance when he was looking for a hiding place. He was discovered when a retired deputy working part time in the building noticed the handcuffed and snow covered man running into the lobby.

The deputy held Valentino down until the police men that he’d escaped from entered the building and collected him again. Naturally the man now faces charges of attempted escape as well as the original burglary charges.
