Robbery suspect attempts to become a police officer

by

A man wanted for a Kmart store robbery was arrested the other day when he showed up to take a test to become a police officer.

A Chula Vista police spokesman, Bernard Gonzales, said that investigators had identified Romeo Montillano as a suspect in a December 8th robbery. Once they realized that Montillano had signed up for the February police entrance exam they just waited for him to come in to take the test.

When the man was arrested he had the gaul to ask if he would still be able to take the exam!!!

I think that would be a big NO! Instead he might end up seeing the inside of a jail cell for some time as his bail was set at $110,000.






Police in Albuquerque use want ads to find snitches

by

Here’s a new idea – The Albuquerque Police Department has turned to the want ads for snitches. An ad in the alternative newspaper The Alibi asks “people who hang out with crooks” to do part-time work for the police.

It reads in part: “Make some extra cash! Drug use and criminal record OK.” Hmmm I wonder if the employment rate in Albuquerque has gone up yet?

Capt. Joe Hudson says police received more than 30 responses in two days. He says one tip was a “big one” but wouldn’t elaborate.

An informant whose tip helps officers arrest a drug dealer could earn $50. A tip about a murder suspect could bring up to $700.

It’s not the first time department has run ads. In a program 10 years ago, police received so many calls they turned the phones off.

Berlin sweet shop selling Hallucinogenic chocolates not ready for prime time

by

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.

Man who wanted picture gets ‘train rash’

by

A man who wanted to have his picture taken next to a moving train ended up suffering from what police in Fargo, N.D. are calling “Train Rash”. Lucky for him that’s the only injuries he sustained.

The 34 year old man and two friends were in Fargo for a conference. At some point they bypassed a security gate at a train crossing and stood near the rails so that he could have his picture taken as the train passed by.

Unfortunately the man stumbled as the train was going by and the train caught his back and ripped his shirt and pants. Naturally alcohol was a factor in this mans poor decision.
