When an Austrian man was recently charged with drunk driving, he became angry and decided to drive to a police station to complain about the charge. The only problem? He was driving drunk again!
When he was first charged with drunk driving his drivers license and car keys were taken away from him, but he went home, picked up his spare keys, made his way back to his abandoned care and drove to the police station to complain about the charge. Duh!
“When the driver tried to show police officers what had happened the first time, they detected he was still under the influence of alcohol,” police said in a statement. The driver was charged a second time.

Police recently closed down a Berlin sweet shop after it was discovered that the owner was selling chocolates and lollipops that were laced with hallucinogenic mushrooms and marijuana.
The owner of the shop, located in the trendy East Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg, was taken into custody on suspicion of drug dealing.
“In the shop we found 120 pieces of magic mushroom chocolate and countless cannabis lollipops,” said police, who confiscated around 70 sachets containing various drugs, about 20 marijuana joints, a range of pills and some jars of drug-laced honey.
Police said one customer, who appeared intoxicated, was arrested after trying to buy a bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms from an officer in the shop.

In Mid-September a Nigerian Muslim court detained an 84 year old Islamic preacher with 86 wives after he failed to heed the call by local leaders to divorce all but four of them. (wow one and a bit wives for every year of his life!)
Mohamed Bello was charged with “insulting religious creed” and “unlawful marriages” after local chiefs and Muslim leaders gave him until September 7 to comply with Islamic sharia law, which allows a man to have no more than four wives at a time.
The preacher, who lives with his wives and some 170 children in the town of Bida, pleaded not guilty to the charges at an Upper Sharia Court in the state capital Minna.
Judge Abdul Imam, who rejected Bello’s bail application and ordered that he be remanded in prison to allow police complete their investigation, adjourned the case to October 6.
Bello’s detention came barely a week after he was granted temporary reprieve by a civil court in the Nigerian capital Abuja where he filed a petition against local chiefs and Muslim leaders who threatened to banish him if he failed to divorce 82 of his wives.
The preacher said the threats violated his right to life and personal liberty. The court gave Bello temporary protection from banishment, but the Niger State Sharia Commission decided on Monday to charge him at an Islamic court.
Bello had received a number of death threats after the Nigerian media began reporting on his unusual marital situation, his spokesman said.
Some newspapers said earlier in September that Bello had agreed at a meeting with local officials to divorce all but four of his wives and had asked for time to return them to their families.
But his spokesman later denied the reports and said the preacher intended to marry more wives instead.
His case has stirred controversy in Africa’s most populous nation of 140 million people, roughly half of whom are Muslim. Many Muslim scholars say Islam allows men to have up to four wives at any given time who must be treated equally.
