Seriously though, we all know that wal-mart greeters are usually a little too old, or slow, to warr
ant a smack up.
A Chattanooga detective accused of assaulting an elderly Wal-Mart greeter who asked to see his sales receipt at the store has been suspended from duty.
Police Chief Freeman Cooper told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that following a disciplinary hearing the officer was suspended 28 days without pay for conduct unbecoming an officer, improper procedure and excessive use of force.
The chief said the officer must also be retrained in the department’s use of force policy and take an anger management course.

I hate to see what they do to people with over due Blu-ray movies.
An Independence woman was arrested on theft charges Thursday for failing to return a library book.
Shelly J. Koontz, 39, was arrested just after 8 p.m. at her residence after a warrant had been issued. She was originally charged with fifth-degree theft for keeping “The Freedom Writers Diary,” which she checked out from the Jesup Public Library in April 2008.
Jesup Police Chief Rick Deitrick said the book was valued at $13.95.
“Theft is theft, no matter what it is,” Deitrick said.
Library employees tried to contact Koontz with four phone calls, three letters and one certified letter, according to a criminal complaint. A Jesup police officer visited her home in September 2008 and informed Koontz’s teenage daughter that Koontz needed to pay for the book or return it.
When the book still hadn’t been returned by Oct. 10, a library official called the police again, wishing to proceed with theft charges.
“That’s about all the library can do,” Deitrick said.

What sucks is the suspect is already out of jail….
A police officer kept chasing a suspect for his first arrest – despite getting a six-inch
branch stuck in his eye.
Pc John Nash slipped on mud and slid head first into a bush while pursuing the man in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, just six days into the job.
He only realised he was injured when he arrested the suspect, who told him he had “better get to hospital”.
Pc Nash, 25, underwent three hours of surgery, which saved his eye, and says he now just wants to return to work.
The officer was in an unmarked police vehicle following a car being driven erratically on an estate when it was abandoned in Walton Close.
Two men ran off and Pc Nash gave chase, in conditions described as “driving rain”, and cornered one in a dead end.

He must have shit his pants.
Shattered
The toilet at Centerville’s Carl’s Jr. restaurant never knew what hit it, but police say it was a slug from a 26-year-old Salt Lake City
man’s .40-caliber handgun. As the man hitched up his pants, the pistol fell from the holster, hit the tile floor and fired — shattering the toilet and sending porcelain into the man’s arm. A woman in an adjacent restroom was frightened and complained of chest pain, but both she and the man were treated at the scene.

Yeah this one one hell of an insurance scam. Blame the poor scape-goat.
Firefighters said goats may have started a fire that destroyed a home near Norwalk in central Iowa. The fire broke out early Tuesday. Three people escaped unharmed.
Scape Goat
John Hadley said his cat woke up him up, and he saw smoke coming from a ceiling. Hadley then woke up his ailing mother and her companion and got them out of the house.
Assistant Northern Warren County Fire Chief Kevin Dingman said the fire may have been started by some goats kept in a shed attached to the rear of the house.
He said a space heater was kept in the shed to keep the goats warm, and the goats may have knocked it over, starting the fire.

Ok ok, we called for dad of the year before but this guy takes the cake.
Police
have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.
Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn’t made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.
Officers also arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of statutory rape. Investigators believe the girl went willingly with the man, but she’s under California’s legal age of consent and can’t legally marry.

Monday rejected the defense that a teenage boy opened fire on his family because he was addicted to video games, convicting him of wounding his clergyman father and killing his mother after they fought over a game. Lawyers for Daniel Petric, 17, didn’t contest that the boy shot his parents in October 2007, but insisted his youth and video game addiction made him less responsible.
