WEIRD NEWS: Teen Steals Pot, Gets Burnt Out
A Florida mother is under arrest for child abuse after she deliberately burned her teenage son's hands as punishment for stealing her weed.
Zayma Flores went crazy after her husband told her that her 15-year-old son had found her stash hidden under a bathroom sink and sold it to a friend.
She grabbed the boy and placed his hands on the stove, causing burns to his palms. Flores was arrested for child abuse and ordered to stay away from her son, who is now living with a relative.
The son told police he thought the pot belonged to his sister and he got rid of it so that she wouldn't smoke it.
WEIRD NEWS: College Student Gets Trashed -- Literally
A college student in Georgia recently gave new meaning to the term trashed.
Police say 22-year-old University of Georgia student Benjamin Abele was running naked in the street at 2:30 a.m. Officers say they then saw him dive into the back of a garbage truck. When cops approached the truck and tried to get him out, he burrowed deep into the trash and a grimy liquid that had leaked out of some of the bags.
The officer could tell by the dazed looked on his face and his dilated eyes that he was high on PCP. After getting one handcuff on the student's wrist, the officer tried to pull him out of the trash but was kicked. That's when he used a taser, but it failed to stop the kid. More officers joined the fray, and were able to pull him out and throw him on the ground, where he had to be tased again.
Abele was taken into custody and arrested for obstruction of a law enforcement officer and public indecency.
WEIRD NEWS: A Whale of a Jail Fail
North Carolina cops decided not to take a bite out of crime by refusing to arrest a guy who staged a bank robbery just so he could go to jail for a bite to eat.
Mark Glenn Foster walked into a SunTrust Bank in Durham and handed a teller a note demanding money, but since he appeared to be unarmed, the clerk just pressed an alarm button and didn't hand over a cent. Foster took the denial in stride and went to the customer service area to wait for cops -- who recognized him from a run-in last year, when he'd done the exact same thing.
Last time around, Foster admitted he simply wanted to go to jail so he could have three square meals a day, but a judge refused to grant that wish, sentencing him to a year's probation for the non-violent crime. On Wednesday, officers didn't even bother booking the 56-year-old, and simply took him in for a mental health evaluation.
WEIRD NEWS: Dude, Where's My Pants?
A Canadian man gave new meaning to the term "bottomless drink special" when he wandered home from a boozy bender without his trousers -- and then took to social media for help finding them.
Andy Gaudry had traveled to Nova Scotia for his grandmother's 80th birthday celebration and ended up hitting the town with some cousins, who encouraged him to have a few belts -- and eventually lose his belt. Gaudry admitted he had no idea where the party had stopped over the course of the evening, other than "wherever all the bars are."
Gaudry asked staff at his hotel to review lobby surveillance tape, which he says showed "I did indeed have no pants on coming into the hotel -- so I was roaming around the hotel with no pants on." He made a plea for help on Reddit, and was stunned a day later when someone dropped the trousers with a clerk.
So the story of The Brotherhood of the Traveling Pants has a happy ending after all.
