D.A. OF THE DAY - WEDNESDAY APRIL 6TH

 

OFFICER DUDE: WHERE'S MY CAR?

A Florida woman found herself parked in a jail cell after she drunkenly called 911 eight times in two hours -- because she couldn't remember where she'd parked her car.

Lisa Makris started the barrage of calls just before five in the morning on Monday, and kept at it, despite the fact that dispatchers continued to tell her that police couldn't help her find the vehicle. After the eighth conversation, a deputy was dispatched to the 45-year-old's home, where he found her passed out on her bed.

She said she didn't remember making the calls, but told the officer she didn't think the incident was any big deal. He disagreed and took her to Palm Beach County Jail, where she was booked on charges of misusing 911. It's unclear if she ever found her car.

MARATHON PIT STOP

The average marathon runner can burn more than 2000 calories during the grueling 26.2 mile race, unless you run it like Jared Nelson.

Nelson recently took part in the Knoxville Marathon in Tennessee and finished it in an unimpressive six-hours-and-12 minutes. But there's a good reason for his slow time. He made a few pit stops to refuel. He surprised the owner of one bar along the race route when he stopped in for a quick burrito and a beer. He actually brought the burrito himself and ordered the beer, which the amused bartender comped. 

But that wasn't his only stop, Nelson had apparently stopped for a meal two miles before that and grabbed a mimosa at another stop. By the end of the race, he'd probably put on more calories than he lost.

TROUBLE ON TAP:

 

A beer-maker in Oregon ended up in police custody after he popped his top while pouring out his rage -- by calling 911 seven times in 10 minutes to complain about homeless people in his neighborhood.

Justin Mark Fay dialed the emergency number over and over last week. Things came to a head after he received his seventh warning, and a dispatcher sent an officer over to talk to him in person. When the cop arrived on the scene, he spotted Fay walking down some stairs carrying a semiautomatic rifle that turned out to be as loaded as he was -- and he reeked of alcohol, according to the police report.

The officer took the weapon and grabbed Fay, who said he wanted to go inside and get another gun, which he was not allowed to do. During the ride to jail, officers said the 31-year-old tried to kick out the patrol car's divider and rear window, but failed.
