D’oh! Revisited: Another doughnut robbery occurred this week. This time a six-pack of Krispy Kremes was lifted from a convenience store shelf. Some of the doughnuts lived out their destinies to become food; others were not so lucky. They were damaged in the heist and neglected without just cause.
Melodramatic maniac: A court order mandated that a man pay off his debt. When he still refused to pay, his loaner was advised to file a Note of Execution. The loaner was about to file, but began feeling sorry for the man. The loaner drove to the debtor’s house to see if they could work out an agreement. But the debtor came out of his house with a pistol, cocked it, aimed it at the man and said, “I’m not the person you used to know.” The loaner zoomed off in his car and filed the Note of Execution.
Art Crime: A man who was kicked out of a woman’s house apparently returned for revenge. The woman awoke to the words “Crack Whore” spray-painted on her front door.
bad aim: With all his might, a man threw his cell phone at a female relative. The spritely woman ducked and “the phone whizzed by her side.” After missing her with the phone, the man appeared to be leaving, but instead reeled around, charged at the woman and took a swing at her. He missed again.
Bad Ass: While on the phone, a man realized the caller had the wrong number. When he expressed his intent to hang up, things got out of control. “If you hang up the phone, I will kill you,” the caller threatened. “If I hang up this phone, I will call the police,” the cool and collected man fired back. “Do you need some assistance with that,” the harasser jabbed back. The victim’s icy phone manner was just a bluff. Afterwards, he called police worried for his safety.
The ring, Too: A man received some vaguely terrifying information from someone in his family. He was told that by the end of the week he would be dead. He was not told who would do the killing, how it would be done or for what reason.
Oh, Come on!: A stolen credit card was used to purchase a soda at Arby’s.
