A would-be mugger ended up apologizing to his victim stating that he had the wrong guy.

The 36 year old man pulled a knife on a man who was unloading his groceries just outside of his home. This occurred in Fond du Lac.

The mugger asked for money and tried to punch the 27 year old man, however another man intervened by pulling the mugger away.

The suspect returned sometime later to apologize stating that he mistook the victim for someone else. He was arrested later that evening as he left a convenience store and held in the Fond du County jail on a charge of disorderly conduct and use of a dangerous weapon.

Can you imagine being attacked and then having the mugger come back and say sorry I though you were someone else? Strange!

In October a Michigan sheriff offered to perform a wedding ceremony for two thieves who’d been knocking over banks to fund their nuptials.

All they had to do was turn themselves in.

“I’ll volunteer to marry them in jail if they surrender,” said Lapeer County Sheriff Ron Kalanquin.

The couple robbed a bank of $5,000 a few weeks ago to buy wedding rings and pay for other expenses related to their wedding.

There’s no word as to whether the couple turned themselves in or not.

Sheriffs deputies mistook an exploding cigarette lighter for gunfire and dove to the ground, called in reinforcements and shut down a neighborhood for hours!

“We have a lot of unusual things happen in our business, and we expected the unexpected. It’s better to be safe than sorry,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Robert Craton said.

The lighter in question belonged to one of the two people that had been stopped around noon for loitering and drinking alcohol in Zappopan Park. While the two were being questioned the lighter was placed on the hood of a police car. When the lighter exploded shrapnel went everywhere and the two deputies and two suspects went down to the ground when they thought they were being fired upon.

Reinforcements were called in and the neighborhood was locked down for two hours. Deputies clutching shotguns and pistols leaned on squad cars and a command post went up at a nearby Wal-Mart Supercenter parking lot.

Paramedics and dozens of deputies were on hand as helicopters buzzed the area. Two hours later, a special enforcement officer discovered the culprit - the Bic lighter.

After leading a police chase that went on at 115 miles per hour and tossing beer cans out his window, William Joseph Galloway wrecked his pickup truck. After he wrecked his truck the man took another swig of beer and gave the deputies who’d been chasing him the middle finger.

According to the authorities Galloway told them he was going to die fighting and swinging, however the use of a taser put that threat to an end.

Galloway of Winter Park is now being held on $8,000 bail in the St. Johns County jail. He’s been charged with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended or revoked license, aggravated fleeing, attempting to elude and resisting arrest without violence. No one was hurt.

The chase began about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when a Florida Highway Patrol trooper began following a pickup truck with no headlights heading north on Interstate 95 in Flagler County. Troopers and deputies watched the driver throw beer cans from his truck as he weaved through traffic at high speeds in heavy rain. The truck eventually spun off the road and crashed into a tree.

“The suspect rolled down his window and drank from a beer can while displaying his middle finger in defiance,” the report said.

When Galloway would not get out of the truck and started to reach for his glove box, a deputy fired a 15-second Taser stun gun burst, the report said.

Galloway told deputies he would have fought them all if he had not been jolted with the Taser, the report said.

Galloway passed out several times after telling officers he had been taking methamphetamine and drinking alcohol all day, the report said.

Why do a lot of these type of stories happen in Florida?
