CHILI TODAY, CUFFS TOMORROW...
An Ohio woman got into a beef with a chili parlor in her neighborhood by sitting down to dinner without any cash in her wallet -- and then calling 911 to report a robbery so that she could sneak out during the commotion.
Destiny Janee Watson called police on Wednesday night to report that armed thugs were holding up the Gold Star Chili location where she was having dinner. When cops responded, they found Watson sitting at a table alone, with no other customers in the place. The restaurant's employees had no idea what was going on.
A manager on duty said that Watson had been lingering at the eatery for the better part of three hours without paying, insisting that someone would be around any minute to take care of her bill for her. Officers who searched her purse found that her cell phone was used to place the phony 911 call.
SLUGS NOT HUGS...
A New York man has been squeezed by cops after offering a free hug and squeeze to a tourist -- and then punching her out when she refused to fork over a tip.
Jermaine Himmelstein had staked out a place outside a Times Square subway station with a sign indicating he was looking to spread peace and love -- ideas he put on hold when he barged into a photo that Canadian tourist Violene Dauvios was taking with a pal. The victim accepted the hug but shook her head and walked away when Himmelstein requested five bucks for his affection, leading him to smack her in the back of the head and make a run for it.
Himmelstein was arrested three years ago for cold-cocking a woman who refused his hugs altogether. Back then, he charged just a buck for the "free" embraces.
COMA HELL ENDS AT TACO BELL...
A Florida man who'd been in a coma for well over a month woke up and immediately asked to be put into a food coma -- with a huge serving of Taco Bell.
Jake Booth was knocked for a loop by a one-two punch of pneumonia and a heart attack, which rendered him unconscious for 47 days. When he came to his senses in a hospital bed, he made one simple, four-word statement -- "I want Taco Bell." That request for a chalupa knocked hospital staffers for a loop-a, but because he had been given a tracheotomy, the 35-year-old had to wait three more weeks to get his first taste of solid food.
The closest location of the chain got wind of Booth's request and was ready to help him make the so-called "fourth meal" his first solid meal, sending over a huge box of tacos, which he downed eight of. His family has set up a GoFundMe account -- not to pay for more tacos, but to help offset more than $50,000 in medical bills.
