Eenie Meenie Miney... Police Row

Three quick and somewhat related stories:

First off, I think it's fairly safe to call it a bad day when you're picked up for drunk driving wearing a breathalyzer costume...

According to a police report, 18-year-old James N. P. Miller, of Cincinnati, was seen driving the wrong way out of the entrance to a one-way street at East Park Place in Oxford.

Officers executed a traffic stop and found that Miller was wearing a breathalyzer costume. After investigation, police said, Miller was found to be operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Inside his car, officers allegedly found an open container of Bud Light in the center console.

Officers also found what was left of a case of Bud Light in the passenger side front seat and in the trunk.

He was arrested and transported to the police station, where he consented to take a blood-alcohol-content test. His results were a .158 percent BAC.


Second, I think we can also say that this guy's issue goes way beyond a bad hat/hair day:

Cesar Lopez, a 29-year-old Lebanon, Pa., man, was busted Saturday when he walked up to a police officer with a small bag of marijuana stuck to his forehead, according to Lebanon police.

Police said the officer went into a Turkey Hill convenience store on Lehman Street at 3:25 a.m. Saturday and saw Lopez holding a baseball cap and peering inside it. When Lopez approached the officer, he looked up, and the officer said he saw a small plastic bag stuck to Lopez's forehead. The bag appeared to contain marijuana, police said.

The officer retrieved the bag from Lopez’s forehead and said, “Is this what you are looking for?,” according to the police report. Lopez was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.


Finally, for those of you who don't get enough Americana cruising the People of WalMart site, here's another for your list - Bank Notes is exactly what it purports to be: a site that posts actual notes used by bank robbers when they're asking for the money. Some of them are scary, some of them are funny ("Thanks a bunch"? Really? Well, i guess there's no reason not to be polite about it.), some of them are just plain sad.

I have a gun in my bag.
Give me $5,000 please.
Thanks a bunch.



Need $300 or I’ll kill you.
I’m serious.



When possible, the site also provides pictures from the security cameras and details of the robbbery. And while you're checking it out, remember- somewhere, somehow, somebody's having a worse day than you are...
