A man in Cleveland, Tennessee, was arrested after pulling pot from his pocket at a security check at a court there. The unidentified man was visiting courts section of the Bradley County Justice Center on May 12 when he was asked to empty his pockets into a plastic bowl, a standard procedure.

Sheriff Tim Gobble said that the items that he placed in the bowl included weed and rolling papers. When questioned, the man bolted from the building, but officers nabbed him within minutes.

The man now faces charges of having contraband in a penal institution and evading arrest.

Mixing a little business with pleasure, police in Bismarck, North Dakota, arrested a suspect for stealing stuff from their annual auction.

The sale, held May 10 at the police impound lot, attracted hundreds of people. One of those people, an unidentified 40-year-old man, was caught stealing a screwdriver set from the inside of one of the vehicles that was for sale. When he was searched, officers also found a gold-colored bracelet in his pocket which — you guessed it – he had taken from the sale.

Police say that the man confessed to the crime. He was to be charged May 12 with theft of property.

An apparent case of the munchies got four teenagers in Hailey, Idaho, in trouble with police there the night of May 10 at a McDonald’s restaurant on North Main Street.

One teen was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence and all four face possible misdemeanor possession of marijuana charges, according to Hailey Assistant Police Chief Dave Stellers.

The incident started around 9:30 PM. Stellers said that the teenagers, ages 15-17, “rudely demanded their food” when ordering at McDonald’s drive through. When they got to the pay window, the McDonald’s customer rep saw smoke pouring from the vehicle, thought that he smelled marijuana and called the cops, who arrived shortly afterward and found the four teens enjoying their meal in the restaurant parking lot.

Authorities in McMinnville, Tennessee, have arrested a man whom they say misdialed and ordered pot from a sheriff’s deputy there.

Sheriff Jackie Matheny said that Deputy Jason Rowland was off duty when his cell phone rang and the voice on the other end asked if he had any “smoke.” Rowland played along and the caller ordered $40 worth of maryjane.

Rowland told the unidentified caller to meet him behind a shopping mall later on May 8, then he called investigators.

The suspected buyer showed up, and police arrested him on charges of solicitation of drug sales and DUI.

A man in Fort Pierce, Florida, apparently had exhausted all other options the morning of May 7 to get his girlfriend to stop yelling at him.

So as the couple argued, the man, identified as 41-year-old Israel Rosado, decided to cut himself with a kitchen knife.

“This was the only way to get that stupid (woman) to stop yelling at me!” he told police following the 2:17 AM incident.

The girlfriend likely won’t be able to yell at Rosado, of the 500 block of Mayflower Lane, in the near future because police learned about his open violation of probation warrant and took him to the St. Lucie County jail, according to an arrest affidavit released May 8.

Investigators couldn’t find the knife that Rosado used, but noted “blood throughout the apartment and outside of the apartment, near the front door.” Rosado had small lacerations on his lower right leg.

He was taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute for treatment, and then to jail for booking.

A man in Cromwell, New Zealand, who robbed a bank there back on April 3 was a little too anal for his own good. He was found with the cash hidden up his anus, Judge Alistair Garland heard in the Alexandra District Court heard May 8.

The unemployed man, identified as 36-year-old Michael Geoffrey Linn, confessed that day to robbing the bank of around NZ$2,000 (US$1,533.45).

According to police prosecutor Sergeant Tom Scoullar, Linn had pressed the buzzer to gain entry to the bank and pulled a green hand-knitted balaclava over his face.

After a staff member had filled a bag with what money she had, Linn had apologized, saying, “I’m sorry miss, I didn’t mean to frighten you but I’m very, very desperate.” Linn drove to the lakefront, took off his clothes and set them on fire using gasoline and paper from his car, Scoullar said.

Members of the public noticed the fire and called the fire department. Nearby construction workers were the first to arrive on scene and, using shovels, saved the clothing and papers, some of which had Linn’s name and address on them.

When he was taken to the Queenstown police station, he said that he had given the money to an associate.

Police noticed some rustling sounds coming from Linn’s anal area and on closer inspection a roll of cash was found protruding from Linn’s butthole, the full amount of cash taken in the robbery.

Unfortunately, the money will have to be destroyed. (After all, who would want money that’s been hidden up someone’s butt?)

Linn is scheduled to be sentenced June 5.

One man in Jacksonville, Florida, let a little too much hang out during a trip to the bathroom.

Police there say that the man, identified as 28-year-old Timothy Harris, went to use the lavatory for a pee test. He is on probation.

Harris pulled down his shorts, and much to his chagrin, a supervising officer spotted something non-anatomical.

The officer noticed that Harris had a Whizzinator bag to help him pass the drug test.

For those of you reading this who are not up on this type of technology, the Whizzinator is a prosthetic device, complete with heating pads, that is supposed to hide samples of urine for test purposes.

The company that makes the device even claims that it is “foolproof.”

Harris’ Whizzinator is now evidence in the property room at JSO headquarters.

As of this writing, Harris is now behind bars.
