Florida - Investigators in the Florida Keys said they lured a suspected marijuana grower into turning himself in by leaving a ransom note in place of six seized pot plants. They left a phone number on a note that read: "Thanks for the grow! You want them back? Call for the price." You got it - he called back and offered $200 for them and set up a meeting point where he was arrested.
Tennessee - A man was found passed out New Year's Day at a gas station while cooking methamphetamine in his vehicle at the fuel pumps, authorities said. Officers found the man, in the driver's seat and saw he was cooking meth in the back of the vehicle. Can you say KABOOM!
Italy - A Sicilian man stole sweets and a packet of chewing gum so he could get arrested and spend New Year's Eve in a jail cell rather than be with his wife and relatives. The 35-year old Sicilian first showed up at a police station on Thursday asking to be arrested because he preferred spending the night in prison rather than with his family, but was rebuffed because he had not committed a crime. So he went next door and stole a pack of gum and threatened the owner with a box cutter as he grabbed a few sweets. Poor guy got his wish - he was arrested for robbery and spent the night in jail.
South Dakota - a woman found passed out in a stolen delivery van earlier this month registered a blood alcohol content of .708 — nearly nine times the legal limit and a possible record for the state. The highest blood alcohol content state chemists could recall was a .56. The state's legal limit is .08. Now there's something for your parents to be proud of. NOT!
