Billy Giles, 75, owner of Giles Lumber Company was attacked in his home by three men Monday night and forced to write a $3,000 check for them.
The suspects took off after tying him up. A neighbor is grateful that
Giles is still around.

“They put a plastic bag over his head and evidently one of them felt that they shouldn’t kill him. So he stuck his finger through the plastic bag into his mouth and ripped it open so he could breathe,” said Don Ashworth, a friend to the victim.

Police have three suspects in custody. Reginald Jefferson, 25,
Christopher Haynes, 20, and Courtney Coleman, 21 have all been charged with aggravated robbery. Investigators say they were caught after trying to cash Giles’ check.

Once, me and some guys I play paintball with decided to play near this power relay for the town. So, there we are all plastered with paint and waiting to have a pizza delivered when one of the guys hears a dirt biker.

Naturally they all run towards the noise and shoot the poor kid up so bad he just left his bike and ran. About fifteen minutes later one of the guy’s mother drives up and tells us to run because the police are coming down looking for us. So we grabbed our gear and ran for the house of one of our buddies and sure enough four of the guys forgot their paintball markers back in the woods.

The idiots ran off into the woods to try to get them back and walk right up to the officer and asked if they could have their paintball guns back as the officer is putting them in the trunk of his cruiser. The unfortunate idiots ended up getting charged with assault and battery.

(I know my name is attached to this but I didn’t do anything, my paintball gun was broken beyond all reason, this is no lie)

Hi, I’m Harry Brooks from Chicago. I’m not a police officer, but I do have two dumb crooks stories you may be interested in.

In the first one: In Chicago, as you probably know, we have the “L”, trains which take us where we need to go and bring us back. Well, on Sunday, July 10, Chicago Transit Authority motorman (train driver) Bilal Stewart, who has been known as a troublemaker, phoned in a bomb threat, which succeeded in shutting down a train terminal. The 9-1-1 tape was played to other CTA employees and Stewart was arrested because some of them recognized his voice. He was arrested and the CTA is going to sue him for the amount of money it cost then to shut down the station and investigate the threat

In the other incident: On Monday, July 18, a student at Westinghouse Career Academy went to a gas station and left her car keys in the ignition while she paid for gas. A young man drove off in it. A few blocks later, he was involved in a 3-vehicle crash, totaled her car and ran off. He left his cell phone in the car.

Deputies from the Bradley County (Tennessee) Sheriff’s Office were sent to the intersection of Glenda Drive and Brymer Creek Road to check the driver of a vehicle that was sitting in the intersection. They arrived several minutes later and found a 1998 Lexus with the engine running and headlights on.

A report says the driver, David R. Gregg, 23, of Beaver Dam Road, had fallen asleep behind the wheel. In the vehicle officers located a can of Liquid Wrench with a false bottom which accessed a hidden compartment. In the compartment they allegedly found 25 pills. They also seized approximately two ounces of marijuana.

The suspect was charged with possession of schedule one, four and six
drugs.

I was working security in a Clearwater Florida hotel when a man had come onto the property. He was looking for a newspaper when I gave him a complimentary one that we had for guests at the front desk, he soon departed. Approximately 5 minutes later, I received a complaint that he was trying to sell the very paper I gave him. When I approached the man, I told him to stop, and asked if he had a room on the property. He informed me that he had and that he was staying there and quoted me a room number. I then left him to handle another problem. Approximately 15 minutes later. I saw him trying to sneak up behind me. When he saw that I eye contact with him, he ducked under a Pick up truck to try to hide. I then asked what he was dong again. After all this was starting to get weird. He told me he was hiding from me because he was afraid I was going to kick his A**. At this time I told him it was time to leave at which he promptly left the property. 15 minutes later he returned again and proceeded to follow me around the property from a small distance. I then called Clearwater police. When the officer arrived, our suspect left at a high rate of speed on foot. The officer decided not to chase and left our suspect to leave in peace. Now most of the time 1 call to the police generally keeps most “trespassers” off the property, but not this guy. for 20 minutes later he returned again. This time instead of following me he came directly up to me and informed me that he had actually lost his bicycle on the property. I made him wait on the curb of the property until the police arrived again. After lying to the police about his name, his bag was searched with 3 pills of valium, outdated Twinkies, 2 warrants. Credit card numbers. 1 large hunting knife. a porn material wrapped inside Christian leaflets. BTW if he had just asked me to help him find his bile, he would have been on his way.
He was charged with possession of a controlled substance, falsifying his name, trespassing, and carrying a concealed weapon.

While working a graveyard shift my partner and I recived a discharge of firearms call. We drove out to the wooded area where the gun shots had gone off and began to look around for the shooters. We came across two teenage males who were rabbit hunting with a 20 ga. shotgun. The teenagers lived just a few houses down so my partner and I decided to walk them home. As we walked down the street under the street lights with our flashlights in hand and turned on we heard a voice yell out,
“Turn your flashlights off!!! The cops are here!!” My partner yelled out “What did you say?” and this genius once again warned us that the cops were near by. Needless to say when he came close enough to see who was really walking down the street he became pale and weak in the knees.
