People Unclear on the Concept
Reading Township (PA) police arrested two people on driving while intoxicated charges after they each tried separately to pick up a third person, also charged with driving while intoxicated, from the police station, authorities say.The three eventually managed to locate someone who was sober to bail them out. No word on why that person wasn't drunk as well.
The series of arrests began about 1:45 a.m. Monday when police stopped Carmen Reategui, 34, of Readington Township, after she was seen swerving along Route 22 East, according to a news release.
Police smelled alcohol coming from the vehicle and arrested Reategui after she failed field sobriety tests, authorities say.
While Reategui was at the station, police said, she called Nina Petracca, 23, of Dunellen, N.J., for a ride home. However, when Petracca showed up at police headquarters, the Middlesex County woman was visibly intoxicated and also failed sobriety tests, according to police.
Later, both women called Ryan Hogan, 33, of Readington Township, for a ride, police said. But Hogan had been drinking and he, too, failed sobriety tests after arriving at the station, police said.
At least they had the excuse of being over-served. The hero in our next story can't blame his problem on booze.
Bad Handwriting Lands Attempted Bank Robber in Jail
Police say 29-year-old Jamal Garrett entered the Wells Fargo Bank in the 2600 block of Somerville Road in Antioch and handed the teller a note.
Police said the teller was unable to read the note due to poor handwriting. When she called her manager for help, they say, Garrett slipped out the back door.
Police found him soon after. He was arrested for attempted bank robbery and outstanding parole violations.

That was bad enough. The next guy, however, takes the gold medal for criminal ineptitude.

OH how true.
How often do you hear or read about some twit texting and walking into a hole or onto subway tracks.
I was pulling into the local supermarket parking lot last week. Ahead was a red SUV stopped right in the lane.
I waited a few minutes but the vehicle failed to move. A guy walking past said: "Maybe it's broken down or out of gas."
I replied: "I can't see the driver but I guarantee you it's a blonde bimbo on the cell phone yapping to her friend about her trip to California."
I turned off my engine, walked up to the driver's window and BINGO. I was correct on all counts except one. She was gushing out about her cruise to Bermuda.
I called her a dumb half-wit broad and to move her ass ASAP.
She looked kinda "put-out" but then pulled up 10 feet into a parking space and continued yapping.
PS: Using a cellphone while driving in North Carolina is legal. :(
Yep, they live, breathe, BREED and vote... sigh
Toejam, I've been in the same situation many times. I usually lay on the horn until they move.
NFO - sadly, yes...
