YOU REALLY SHOULDN’T HAVE ALCOHOL ON YOUR BREATH WHEN ….

 

During an event at a local coffee and yogurt shop called “Coffee With A Cop,” Charlene Kranitz was unfortunate enough to wander into the restaurant to get a cup of yogurt.

Unfortunate, because a police officer noticed that she was stumbling as she came into the shop and went to the machine. When she walked past him, he smelled alcohol, so when she left the shop, he followed her outside. She went to her car, which was parked against a light pole.

The policeman gave the 66-year-old woman a sobriety test, which she failed. After he established that she was the sole person in the car and intended to drive it, he arrested her for DUI.  

When asked if she had noticed that there were police officers in the shop when she entered it, the woman replied no and said she had no idea the Coffee With A Cop activity was going on there.

WOMAN REFUSED ENTRY INTO NEW ZEALAND FOR CARRYING LEMONS

 

A woman was refused entry into New Zealand after trying to smuggle in six lemons in her pants. Border officials caught her at Auckland Airport, where she was arriving on a flight from Hong Kong.

The lemons were hidden in her trousers, but they were sniffed out by a biosecurity dog, according to the “New Zealand Herald.” The woman had not declared any food items on her arrival card. She explained to officials that they were good for her health, but that didn’t set very well with them, as it would be possible to endanger New Zealand’s horticulture industry by bringing in food that could have pests or diseases on it.

The woman was refused entry to New Zealand, and returned to Hong Kong on the next available flight.

Security commented that they hope to send a strong message to smugglers who show contempt for the country’s bio-security rules.

MAN TRADES TOOLS FOR BOY AT WAL-MART

 

A man in West Norriton Township, Pennsylvania, stole tools from Wal-Mart, but he left an 11-year-old boy in trade.

The man was caught in the act of taking the tools, and when confronted by a security person at the store, he ran and left the boy in the store. Once out the door, he went to a silver sedan with New Jersey plates and fled, making no attempt to take the boy with him.

The youngster was able to tell them how to contact his mother, who told police the man was watching her son for her. She claimed not to know his full name.

Police released the boy back to is mother, but contacted Children and Youth services for a followup investigation.
