A suspect in a stabbing attack in Pennsylvania was able to get out of trouble because it wasn't him -- it was his evil twin brother.
Police questioned everyone at the scene, including the nefarious Lance Greenwood. During police questioning, Lance provided his brother Leonard's driver's license. An investigation determined Leonard to be the prime suspect in the case and got a warrant for his arrest. They also circulated his name and photo to the press, and asked for help in apprehending him.
After Leonard found out that he was a wanted man, he discovered that his identical twin Lance had given police his name. This was all straightened out at the police station after Leonard turned his brother in.
The guilty twin was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime with intent, assault, recklessly endangering another person, and providing false identification to law enforcement. The 16-year-old victim is in the hospital in stable condition.
TALK ABOUT A HIGH SPEED CHASE:
A Florida man is likely to spend some time in the joint after leading cops on a long, high-speed chase -- while smoking a freshly-rolled joint!
Andrew Rawlston was tooling along down U.S. Highway 27 near the entrance to the Florida Turnpike when a patrolman noticed one of his pickup's headlights was out. The officer began a regular-speed pursuit, but when Rawlston noticed he was being followed, he floored it, going from 65 to 95 within a few seconds.
A second deputy managed to throw down stop sticks that slowed the vehicle, eventually causing Rawlston to pull over. And when the trooper got to the truck, Rawlston was calmly puffing on a joint, which his girlfriend said he'd lit up during the chase. According to the arrest report, the unidentified woman seemed frightened and angry at Rawlston, but the trooper said the driver didn’t seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation and “actually thought it was funny.”
SELFIE INCRIMINATING!
Picture this -- an Ohio fugitive was so focused on the bad mugshot cops circulated to help catch him that he took a photo he liked better and asked them to send that around instead.
Donald A. "Chip" Pugh had been out on bail after being arrested on arson charges, but decided to bail on his court date, making him a wanted man. Authorities in the town of Lima [pr: LYE-ma] put the 45-year-old's mugshot out on social media and television, which ticked him off since it apparently captured his bad side.
He texted cops a shot showing him behind the wheel, with the plea, "Here is a better photo, that one is terrible," adding "They just did me wrong. They put a picture that made me look like I was a Thundercat or something."
As of now, the new shot is circulating, and Pugh is still at large.
