The D.A. Of The Day - 1/22/16

EVER HEARD OF GETTING A DWR?? WELL YOU HAVE NOW:

There's nothing wrong with sitting down with a good book to read, unless of course you're doing it while driving.

A police officer in Minnesota noticed a car swerving on the road and pulled over the driver, who just might be the most honest and literate driver ever. The officer's dashcam captured the traffic stop and the entire conversation with the driver, who told the officer he was swerving because he was reading a James Patterson novel.

MAN'S GUN ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGES IN THEATER, INJURES 1

A police department spokesperson says, "The nicest guy, obviously not the smartest thing to do while driving. Very dangerous. But he kind of got it, knew he made a mistake, and the officer went back and ended up giving him a citation." 

A shooting inside a movie theater in Renton, Washington has landed one man in jail and a woman in critical condition.

Police have the suspect in custody after he told officers that he went to see a showing last night of 13 Hours and accidentally discharged his gun when he dropped it on the floor. One bullet struck a woman who was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. 

Police say the 29-year-old suspect was intoxicated at the time and fled the scene after the shooting. But his father eventually called 911 to turn him in and he was arrested. 

MAN TRIES TO SAVE DOGS FROM FIRE.. GET'S TACKLED BY POLICE

When a dog saves a man's life, he makes headlines, but when a Florida man tried to save his dogs' lives, he made the police blotter -- for grabbing a fireman's axe to break a window during the rescue.

Wendell Joyner called 911 to report a fire at his home, but by the time crews arrived, the blaze was out of control. The 58-year-old made it out safely, but kept running back in to look for his three dogs -- and once he realized he couldn't, he snatched an axe out of the firefighter's hands to knock out the front window and help the pups escape on their own.

Cops called to the scene reacted strongly to the move, tackling Joyner and opening gashes on his face, then charging him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The police report said he seemed intoxicated and could have been a danger, holding the axe. All three dogs were eventually rescued by Brevard County Fire Rescue crews and reunited with Joyner and his roommate, who are staying with family members.
