This is the fourth installment of a StrangeRush mini.

A mini will be four semi-strange stories that will be condensed into one post but will be told very briefly, typically one paragraph per story. A mini will be posted roughly 1-2 times a week and the purpose is to tell several strange stories that are interesting, but not worthy of their own full post. They will be quick and to the point and typically leave out any mystery as to where they are going.

Ouch!!! That Hurt-

JACKSON, Ohio- Nathan Beavers just wanted to make a little extra spending money, so he took a babysitting job watching a few small children, while being accompanied by some friends. During the day’s excitement, Beavers accidentally stepped on the foot of one of the boys he was watching. Upset, the boy went to a closet, retrieved a shotgun, and shot Beavers in the arm and side. Another teenager was also injured by the attack. The boy was only four years old. Sounds like someone needs a father figure.

Let’s Have a Drink-

SCHERERVILLE, Indiana- A 24 year old mother was pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence, while she had her one year old son with her. The boy’s father was called and when he came to pick up his son he was also arrested for driving while intoxicated. As a last resort the boys grandparents were called and they too showed up….and they too had both also been drinking, but granny was not over the legal limit and police escorted her home with the boy. Sounds like AA may need to be a family affair in this northwestern Indiana town.

Sleeping on the Job -

PONCHATOULA, Louisiana- A young man broke into the French Corner Church so he could break into the safe. When he was unsuccessful he then broke into another of the church’s buildings where he felt it was appropriate to take a little nap. And that’s where police caught him, taking a nap in a guest apartment. I would think if you are that tired you’d either take a nap before attempting to steal from God, or reschedule the robbery for a day you are more well rested.

The Mad Cash Dash-

BERLIN, Germany- A 23 year old German man was test driving a convertible sports car when the 23,000 euros ($31,180 US) in 500, 200, and 100 notes that he had in an envelope in the passenger seat pocket, blew out and all over the roadway. Police blocked off the road and 20K of the 23K euros were recovered. What I want to know is where on Earth does a 23 year guy get that kind of raw cash?
