WEIRD NEWS: He Flipped Over Burgers


A Florida man was checkmated by cops after he called 911 and demanded deputies be sent out to aid him -- in correcting his order from a Checkers burger joint.

John May phoned the emergency number on Saturday night, saying he'd gone through the drive-thru and been given the wrong food, and worse yet, he experienced "insubordination" from the eatery's manager. When officers arrived at the scene, they found May sitting there, still chowing down, with half of his meal already eaten.

The 53-year-old told the cops he knew there was no emergency but that he wanted law enforcement to have the manager correct his order as a matter of honor. He now faces misdemeanor charges of misuse of 911 and trespassing -- on grounds of failure to leave upon owner order.

A street magician pulled off a disappearing act that landed him in jail -- because he tried to make a woman's bikini disappear.

Richard Cook of Clearwater, Florida was performing his sidewalk magic act when he asked for a volunteer. A woman wearing a bikini stepped forward to join the act and Cook explained that he was going to make a scarf disappear from his hand. To set up the trick, he asked the woman to keep her hands out in front of her. That's when he reached down and untied her bikini bottoms.

The shocked woman was able to quickly grab her suit before she was completely exposed and told Cook that she didn't want to be part of the trick. But Cook persisted, and responded, "You will feel comfortable" before doing the same thing again.

The woman then ran away and found a police officer, who came by to arrest Cook. He's been charged with battery.

WEIRD NEWS: Burglary Victim Hits a Homer

A Florida thug who tried to imitate Batman ended up looking more like the Joker -- when the guy whose house he was robbing beat him senseless with the baseball bat he was using during the crime.

Noah Dassat broke into the house last Thursday, one day after showing up at the family's doorstep saying he was looking for a friend named Josh. When told there was no Josh in the family, he left, then returned, bat in hand, but found the couple and their three kids in the home -- and ready to rumble.

Dassat took a swing at the male homeowner, but missed, allowing him to get the intruder in a headlock and his wife to grab the bat and hand it to her husband. He sustained some serious bruises, but managed to flee the scene, only to be arrested after checking into a nearby hospital under a fake name,

One neighbor complimented the action, saying, "That's how we roll around here."
