How to know it is going to be a bad day…
(ripped from today’s headlines)
1. Bad guys’ day goes bad.
Coffee break pays off for Minnesota deputies
MANKATO, Minn. — Two Blue Earth County sheriff’s deputies didn’t
have to work too hard to track down four burglary suspects. The
suspects, in fact, pulled right into the Happy Chef restaurant where
the deputies were on a coffee break Wednesday night. The deputies had
been investigating three residential burglaries that night that had
similar methods of operation. When they were on their break at Happy
Chef, a report of another burglary came in from Le Sueur County with a
description of the suspects’ pickup truck.
A truck matching the
description then pulled into parking lot and the deputies didn’t have
to go far to make an arrest. And, the stolen goods, including laptop
computers, other electronics and jewelry, were in the back.
Captain Rich Murry said even a coffee break can be productive.
2. Good thing the resident fell asleep on couch or it could have been a REALLY bad day!
NEW YORK — Police say a drunken driver sped through a stop sign and
hit an earthen mound before going airborne and smashing his Jeep into
the second floor of a New York home.
The spectacular wreck happened just after midnight Saturday in East Moriches (MOR’-ih-ches) on Long Island.
The
Jeep ripped a giant hole in the side of the house, then fell into a
foyer on the first floor. It came to rest on its rear end with its
headlights pointing skyward.
The only person home at the time was asleep on the couch on the first floor. He was not hurt.
The 20-year-old driver suffered minor injuries. A passenger walked away unscathed.
Suffolk County Police charged the 20-year-old with driving while intoxicated, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.
