ime for another edition of.. "Which weird story is NOT True?"
1) An Idaho man was recently charged in a bizarre property dispute with one of his neighbors. Furious that his neighbor's cattle kept wandering on his property due to damaged fencing, the man leased a bulldozer and rammed it repeatedly into the neighbors house. Police estimated the damage to the home at $50,000, which included a completely demolished garage, and large holes in two sides of the house.
2) 2 men were recently arrested in Hong Kong for stealing a boat load of spiritually charged pine trees, which they allegedly intended to sell to believers in feng shui. However, their boat seemed to lack feng shui's "harmony" and "positive energy" as Police arrested the two men when their boat broke down.
3) A 52 year old man recently won a $8.5 million dollar out of court settlement from a 2002 crash of two trains. The man, who was the conductor of one of the trains, suffered a mild concussion in the crash, which he said then triggered his sudden desire to become a serious alcoholic, whereas he said his drinking had previously been under control.
4) Knox County (Tennessee) prosecuters recently sent letters summoning parents of excessively truant children to a meeting to explain a law that allows prosecutors to hold parents accountable for their children's school absences. The County recently arrested almost 20 parents whose children had excessive (described as 10 or more) unexcused absences from school. Parents found guilty can be punished by a year in jail. However, of the 582 letters sent out, over 40% of those summoned to the meeting did not show up.
5) Police arrived at a Massachusetts CVS pharmacy early one morning to find a 42 year old man, who apparently decided to take 40 winks before going inside and robbing the pharmacy. When arrested the man was sleeping in his idling car with a nylon stocking over his head and a cap pistol in his pocket, as well as a note by his side that read "I have a Gun DO NOT Press any Alarms or let Custermors know Empty the All the register."
6) The police chief of a Virginia town got busted for drunken driving.... and then got busted for drunken driving again. In the first incident, the man's unmarked police car ran into a vehicle. His blood-alcohol level was 0.29, according to the arrest warrant. His drivers license was suspended. Five hours later, he was arrested again in his personal car, this time with a 0.25 blood-alcohol level. He has been suspended from duty by town administrators while they set up a disciplinary meeting to determine if he will be fired.
