The D.A. Of The Day - Tuesday, May 24th


Burglar Hosed By Vaccum-Wielding Momma



An Oklahoma woman showed a burglar just how badly his career choice sucks -- by fighting him off with a vacuum cleaner!

Kenneth Williams didn't realize that Nicole Williamson was at home with her toddler daughter when he tried to break into her house last week, but it didn't take long before he found out he was hosed. The victim's daughter saw Williams throw his backpack through an open window and start to climb in, and yelled out for her mom. Williamson says, "I was thinking like...kill him. I got a crutch and I started slamming him in the face with it and he wouldn't get down, so I picked up a vacuum out of the hallway and started slamming him in the face with the vacuum."

Williams begged the woman to give back his backpack and let him leave, but she and some neighbors detained him until cops could arrive.

Nut Busted Over Squirrels:



A Michigan man earned one of the nuttier police blotter entries in recent memory when cops hauled him in on charges of possessing weed, a gun and...a box of squirrels.

Ian Breiholz had pulled over his pickup truck to sift through some garbage by the side of the road, leading a homeowner to lodge a 911 complaint. Officers who responded to the scene tracked the 31-year-old to the vehicle, where they found a bag of unlicensed medical marijuana and a gun, which Breiholz isn't allowed to own, due to his criminal record.

But the most surprising find was a box containing several baby squirrels, which the suspect says he rescued during a previous dumpster-diving expedition. Arresting officers said it appeared that Breiholz was nursing the animals back to health, and noted, "That was his good side coming out."

The squirrels were turned over to Animal Control, which said they'll be released into the wild soon. Breiholz was released on his own recognizance and will appear in court this month.

Woman Buys Drugs, Shows Video To Cops



If you've just taken a video of yourself buying drugs from a dealer, who is the last person you should show the video to? If you answered a police officer, you're correct. And you're also a lot smarter than this Florida woman.

27-year-old Kathleen Laroche was pulled over for speeding. When the officer approached her, she apologized for speeding and weaving, and informed him that she doesn't have a license because hers was suspended. She was placed under arrest for driving with a suspended license, but before putting her in the back of his cruiser, the officer noticed a camera installed on her dashboard and asked about the video quality. He then asked if he could watch the video, and she said yes. She apparently forgot that right before she was pulled over, she'd visited a drug dealer to purchase cocaine and the deal was captured on the dashcam.

In addition to the suspended license charge, Laroche is now also facing drug charges. The man who sold her the drugs was also arrested after the officer drove to the location seen in the video and found him there.
