I just thought I'd share some of my own area's news. We might be rural but it's never boring around here!
Here's the link to the full story but I'll leave some excerpts here that I found interesting or amusing...
The incident began late Friday night, when Benjamin allegedly threw a frying pan and telephone at his girlfriend during a dispute, police said. And it took almost a full week to make the local newspaper!
[i]pursued Benjamin’s vehicle, which was traveling at up to 75 miles per hour on Bridge Street Hill, police said.
Benjamin failed to stop, and, after a certain point, Towanda police ceased the chase, police said.[/i] The speed limit through there is 25mph...and the bridge has been gone for years...
After being arrested, Benjamin told Kelley that he would have stopped if had he known it was Kelley that was chasing him Oh, of course! It was just a horrible case of mistaken identity! He thought he was being chased by some other cop that he wasn't required to stop for![em]rolleyes

So you see, we have stupid criminals and excitement here too! (Hmm wonder if his girlfriend would be interested in selling his car while he's in jail?LOL I could use a new one...)

Well, I myself have always considered all criminals stupid or they would be doctors or lawyers where they can rob people while they smile and hand their money over and say thank you. Don't get me wrong, I am not calling all doctors and lawyers bad, though there are some that are, but I am saying that they are over priced...but that is just my opinion, I am sure that they feel just the opposite.

No problem! And I do agree with your opinion...and understood what you meant. The smart ones become legal criminals, the dumb ones just never learn.
