Tyree Brown. What a mess…

A messy thief has been arrested after a trail of popcorn led police directly from a crime scene to the suspect’s living room.

Sacramento police say they responded to an alarm at the Food Stop store in Natomas early in the morning on New Year’s day. When officers arrived they found that the business had been broken into and several items taken.

That’s also when they noticed a trail of popcorn. Officers followed the trail of clues to an apartment complex behind the store and to the door of one unit. When officers knocked, they noticed the popcorn kernels continued inside the apartment. Officers found the stolen property inside.

He’ll sue because she didn’t provide a safe working environment.

A would-be thief received more than he bargained for Saturday when a Donalds homeowner gave him an arrest and a trip to the emergency room.

The Abbeville County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a stabbing about 4:30 a.m. Saturday, and when officers arrived at the scene, they found a man staggering in the driveway, bleeding profusely from a wound to his left shoulder, according to police reports.

The man — identified as Locketus Jarvarus Marshall, 23, of 204 Haigler St., Abbeville — passed out, and while Emergency Medical Services took him to Self Regional Medical Center, officers got written statements from the homeowner and a witness, only to arrest Marshall.

According to the homeowner, she had spent the evening in Anderson and returned to see the home completely dark. When she entered, she heard someone moving inside the home and called out, detective Michael Belcher said Monday.
“At that point, (Marshall) grabbed the victim and pushed her up against the kitchen sink. She tried to call 911, but she couldn’t see the numbers, so she called her father, who she had on speed dial,” Belcher said.

The homeowner then felt around in the sink, found a knife and struck Marshall with it in the left shoulder.

“Once she stabbed him, Mr. Marshall ran outside and called 911 to say he’d been stabbed,” Belcher said. “He made the comment he’d gotten a ride to a friend’s house because his car had caught on fire.”

New fun game in Myanmar: stealing electrical cable during blackouts. You lose if you’re not done when the power comes back on!

Thieves in the former Burma’s main city, Yangon, are taking advantage of outages often lasting for more than 20 hours a day to steal the copper power cables, police said on Friday.

Sometimes, of course, they get unlucky.

“The thieves are risking their lives as it is impossible to know exactly when the power is going to be restored. It’s just like playing Russian roulette,” said one Yangon police officer who did not want to be named.

“I’ve seen a few cases in which thieves were electrocuted. In April, a 16-year-old boy was found dead, holding a broken cable from a lamppost. Only God knows for sure whether he was a thief or not.”
