Lady of the Night Patrol
A Florida woman is behind bars after allegedly impersonating a hooker and then a cop.
Lee County sheriff’s deputies say it started when they were called to the scene of a robbery.
According to the arrest report, 36-year-old Misty McNeal lured in a man for sex, ordered him not to move, and keep his hands on the wall. She then pulled out a fake badge. The man thought he was in trouble for picking up a prostitute.
Just as McNeal tried to pocket nearly $400 worth of cash from the man’s wallet, deputies arrived.
McNeal is now charged with impersonating a police officer and robbery charges.
As for the man involved, he’s not facing charges, because deputies said he was a victim — not the most innocent victim, but still a victim.
High altitude T.P. job
Authorities say a man hurled wet toilet paper on a New Jersey high school from a single-engine plane.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters says the pilot flew over Westwood High School and its athletic fields.
Peters said children were playing on the field when the Cessna 172S made three passes before landing at a nearby airport. Peters says the man may face federal charges of reckless operation of an aircraft and dropping objects from a plane without authorization.
Crash arrest dummy
Colorado authorities said a 20-year-old suspect jumped out of a police car going 60 mph and got hit by another car.
Police said John Winkler was handcuffed when he opened the front passenger door, jumped out, recovered from his fall and was running across Interstate 25 when he was struck and seriously injured.
Winkler had been arrested on two felony warrants.
The unmarked police car didn’t have secured back doors like police cruisers, Sgt. Steve Noblitt said, so Winkler was riding in the front passenger seat. A second officer was in the back seat.
Good petiquette?
A suburban Boston woman has been charged with throwing a bag of dog feces into the face of a passing motorist to try to slow him down.
Police said the woman contacted police first and reported she was walking her dog when she saw the motorist nearly hit a man on a bicycle. The next day, the motorist contacted police to say he had been struck in the face with dog poop.
The woman is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, vandalism to property and disorderly conduct.
