Nobody is perfect
It is Monday and there are lots of worrisome stories out there. Here are a few that may make your outlook a little more confident and brighter:
Drunk Teen breaks into Airbnb being rented by police
A drunken teen in Milwaukee broke into an Airbnb and passed out — only to wake up and find the rental was occupied by three out-of-town sheriff’s deputies. The Montana lawmen, who were in town for emergency vehicle training and had been sleeping, got up and saw the back door of the property open. When they went upstairs, they found the 19-year-old man knocked out cold in one of the beds, they explained in a Friday TikTok video. “This silly guy found the one Airbnb in all of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, loaded with cops,” one of the deputies said in the viral video. “He woke up in handcuffs.”
McKinney family starts fire burning Christmas tree in fireplace
According to the McKinney, TX Fire Department, officials responded to a call about a structure fire in the 4400 block of Rancho Del Norte Trail. Officials said firefighters arrived to find that a pine Christmas tree had been placed into a home fireplace. Only the top of the tree was in the fire, so the flames traveled down the tree and out of the fireplace, officials said. According to the McKinney Fire Department, the fire was quickly extinguished after firefighters arrived. The damage was limited around the fireplace, and one person was treated for minor smoke inhalation at the scene.
Texas woman arrested with 70 forms of ID
WIMBERLEY, Texas – A suspicious vehicle call led to multiple charges for an Austin woman who was found sleeping around 4 a.m. inside a stolen vehicle. Dionne Episcopo, 38, has been charged with fraudulent use of identifying information, forgery of a financial instrument, tampering with a government record, and possession of a controlled substance. Episcopo was found with numerous items fitting the description of items that had been stolen the night before. Deputies obtained a search warrant for the vehicle and discovered more than 70 forms of identification including W-2s, driver’s licenses, social security cards and passports belonging to numerous different victims. Deputies also found narcotics and forged checks inside the vehicle which had been reported stolen out of Austin.
Is it heartburn revenge?
It was rather easy for South Strabane Township, Pennsylvania police to track down a man accused of robbing a Taco Bell. Security camera footage clearly showed the vehicle model and license plate number of 30-year-old Joshua Logue, who broke into a local Taco Bell restaurant in the middle of the night and stole $300 out of the cash register. He shattered the glass door of the restaurant with an air rifle and proceeded to use a hammer to smash open the three cash registers to steal the money. When police ran his license information, they found that Logue has a long history of similar offenses. In fact, in 2019 he was arrested in more than 30 cases resulting in both convictions and pending charges of similar Taco Bell burglaries in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio.
Just sleep on it
A woman is a little embarrassed, but well rested, after falling asleep testing a mattress at a Missouri store and spending the night there. Richmond Heights Police Officer Allison Brown told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that officers were called to the undisclosed store shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday after a worker found the woman wandering inside the business prior to its opening. The woman told police she had been trying out a display mattress the evening before and must have fallen asleep. Police posted on social media that it was “the best mattress endorsement we’ve ever heard.” Store operators declined to press charges.
Wrong turn wins the race
He took a wrong turn, but he still ended up a winner. A 9-year-old boy wound up winning a 10K race in Minnesota last month after he missed a turn on a separate 5K race and ended up on the much longer course. “I was thinking, ‘This is a really long 5K.’” Kade started off running the St. Francis Franny Flyer 5K. At one point during the run, a woman told him to keep going when he approached the 5K turn, he told the St. Cloud Times — so he did, despite his confusion. But race organizers told Kade’s mother he finished in first place int the 10K division. She thought they meant in his age group, but he was actually first place overall.
