Surveillance cameras at Silver Cross Field in Joliet, Ill., caught a naked woman on tape as she cavorted around the minor-league ballpark in the wee hours of the morning – at one point swinging a pickax at a stadium cash machine.
Despite causing about $2,000 in damage, she failed to get into the ATM.
But the mystery woman didn’t leave empty-handed. She apparently happened upon a T-shirt and a sock, which she was seen wearing on the tape as she exited the ballpark.
Corrections Officer Eric Dau said he and his wife thought they had entered the Twilight Zone when they pulled into their mobile-home park in Cedar Heights, Iowa, early in the morning and saw hundreds of 14-inch-high Ronald McDonald dolls lined up in neat rows in the middle of the road.
“It was so scary, all those Ronald McDonalds staring at us,” Dau said.
The next morning, there wasn’t a Ronald in sight.
Animal Control Officer Scott Ballard never expected to find himself in a hot tub wearing chest-high waders – but that’s what he had to do to tackle a 5-foot-long, 80-pound alligator outside a home in Royalton, Ill.
With the help of three co-workers, Ballard wrestled the thrashing gator out of the hot tub and taped its jaws shut.
The gator owner faces charges of illegal possession of a threatened species.
Golfer James Tompkins of Carlisle, Pa., was teed off when he was slammed in the face by an errant ball and knocked off his golf cart.
He went to court to collect medical expenses from the duffer who hit the shot – claiming he was responsible because he failed to yell “fore!”
But the jury agreed with defendant George Long’s claim that “when you play golf, you take a risk.”
A middle-aged man from Seville, Spain, has asked a judge to charge his wife with domestic abuse because she refused to have sex with him on five consecutive days.
He claimed her repeated rejections amounted to “degrading treatment” and sexual abuse. The judge put off his request – sort of like his wife.
