Police Blotter

Honest folks. I couldn't make this stuff up.

"Instead, still holding the phone to his ear, the man turned and ran. The officer could hear the man yelling, “Mom, mom! They’re going to shoot me!” The man slipped on the wet pavement and fell down, still shouting to his mother on the phone. The officer took the phone and explained to the woman that her son was not being shot and that he could call her later from jail."

I'm sure the officers involved weren't laughing their asses off after this arrest.

And this description of a con man is classic:
" He described the suspect as “a big, fat, cross-eyed white guy with gray hair.”
