Get this … German police have a nationwide search out for a convicted drug dealer who escaped from jail by hiding in a cardboard box to be taken away for recycling plan to issue an international arrest warrant for him.
A Viersen police spokesman said the 37-year-old Turkish national, whose seven-year prison sentence for drug dealing runs to 2011, had escaped from the Willich prison by hiding in a cardboard box about to be picked up by a recycling truck.
“Shortly after the truck that he riding in got beyond prison walls, he slit open the box and then cut open the truck’s tarpaulin to escape,” said Wolfgang Wiese, Viersen police spokesman. “I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Police have been searching in vain for the fugitive. An international search warrant is being prepared in the event he is not found soon.

Martin Baylis of Plymouth, Devon was a very nervous man after having had a snake hide in his car for four days He ended up dismantling his car in order to retrieve the serpent.
Martin had been transporting the reptile, Dave the rat eating Sinaloan milk snake, to his 20 year old son Chris’ home when it escaped from the tank. The tank had been in the trunk of the car and by the time the discovery was made the snake had vanished into the vehicles bodywork.
Martin went to work removing the seats and dashboard but he still couldn’t find the snake.
Over the next few days the snake occasionally popped out of crevices in the car three times while poor Martin was driving. Baylis finally managed to trap the sneaky snake in a pillow case.
The dad of three said: “It’s an unnerving feeling knowing there’s a 4ft snake circumnavigating the whole car.”

Thousands of bees escaped when a truck that was carrying their hives ran off the highway and overturned near a Montana community.
One State trooper, Dell Aman, stated that he’d been stung twice, but he didn’t think anyone else was injured.
“The public was in no way in danger, as long as they didn’t stop to get out of their vehicles,” he said. “If they did get out, they figured out pretty quickly that that wasn’t the place to be — no pun intended.”
The truck had been traveling from North Dakota to California when it veered into a ditch along interstate 94 just at the exit for Huntley. The driver of the truck wasn’t injured in the accident, but he was cited for alleged careless driving.
The truck had been carrying 465 beehives which amounted to nearly 13.7 million bees!
Luckily most of the bees behaved and stayed in their hives but a few thousand got loose.
Once the weather cooled in the evening the bees returned to their hives.
Good thing this didn’t happen in the middle of a city! I’d imagine more people might have been stung if it had.
