This is the fifth installment of a StrangeRush mini.

A Deal In The Works-

SALEM, New Jersey- Christopher received a random text message from another guy whom he did not know. The guy wanted to meet up and buy some pot from Christopher. They agreed to meet at a local shopping center and the man described what car he would be driving. The problem for this mystery man was he accidentally texted the wrong dude looking for his high. Christopher just happened to be a police officer. The man and his buddy were arrested and charged with loitering to commit a controlled and dangerous substance offense. Since he was out looking to buy drugs, wouldn’t you think he’d at least know who he was texting?

Lawnmower For Sale-

TUEBINGEN, Germany- A German man saw an ebay ad for a lawnmower for sale. In need of one himself, he agreed to meet the seller and see about buying it. Upon investigating the goods, the potential buyer noticed it was the very lawnmower someone had stolen from him. The buyer left and notified police. The man was later questioned and admitted to stealing the mower out of a shed five months before. Who steals lawnmowers out of sheds anyway? What ever happed to TVs and jewelry?

Gas Station Gamer -

KENNESAW, Georgia- A 56-year-old woman evidently needed her gaming fix. She went into a gas station and played video games for about 25 minutes until she was arrested for child cruelty for leaving the one-year-old baby she was babysitting alone in the car. First of all she’s a loser for leaving the baby alone, but who plays video games in gas stations anymore? It’s 2009, not 1989, ever heard of XBOX or Playstation? And since she was in her 50s shouldn’t she be playing solitaire or bingo?

I Refuse-

FORT PIERCE, Florida- Maryanne O’Neill wanted some coffee and a sandwich so she entered a Waffle House restaurant early one Saturday morning. Her bill came out to $7.45 and she told the restaurant server that she needed to go across the street but would soon return. When she did not return police were notified and located Ms. O’Neill and asked her to pay her bill. Twice she flat out refused to pay the $7.45 so she was given the choice to pay or go to jail. She chose jail and was  arrested and charged with defrauding an innkeeper. Logic tells me the fines, court fees, and time wasted dealing with the situation would come out to be a little more costly than had she just paid her damn tab in the first place.
