OBLIVIOT OF THE WEEK:As the manager of a gas station in Snellville, Ga., was being robbed, he was smiling, even chuckling. “Yo! Give me all the money in the (expletive) register! Right now!” the robber had ordered. “The manager was laughing at the time he was putting the money in the bag because he was looking at me over the guy who was robbing him,” said Snellville Police Lt. B.W. Brown, who was standing right behind the robber ñ in uniform. And it’s not like the robber hadn’t seen him. A few minutes before, the robber had asked the officer for a ride ñ his fully marked patrol car was parked right out front. The officer had declined to be his taxi. Once the manager handed over a bag of money, Brown put his hand on the robber’s shoulder and arrested him, and then “everyone in the store started laughing,” he said. Stephen Frankie Daniel, 21, was charged with robbery. (RC/Atlanta Journal-Constitution)PETTY THEFT:When Kenya Ealy arrived home at her University City, Mo., apartment, she found someone inside. She and a friend tried to open the door, but someone inside was holding it closed. When they realized it was an intruder, the roles reversed: They held the door closed while screaming for someone to call the police while the man tried to get out. They held on long enough for officers to take Damon Petty, 36, into custody. Petty had been in Ealy’s kitchen cooking bacon, police report, and officers found some other items of Ealy’s in his pockets. Petty has been charged with burglary and is being held on $25,000 bail. (RC/St. Louis Post-Dispatch) …Theft of most foods is a misdemeanor, but stealing bacon is a felony, just as it should be.Source: Thisistrue.com
