BENCH PRESSER:
A Florida man gave new meaning to being buried in work -- after snapping on the job and using a front-end loader to run down his boss and try to submerge the guy in fresh dirt.
Erick Cox, who goes by the nickname "Pork Chop," flipped out and dumped a bucketload of soil on Perry Byrd's head, knocking him to the ground -- then continued to pour on dirt until the supervisor was buried past his waist. At that point, Cox reportedly grabbed a shovel and hit Byrd over the head, leading another worker to call 911.
When cops arrived, Cox claimed he'd accidentally buried Byrd's legs in dirt when he "bumped the bucket control-lever as he was reaching for the keys," but a number of eyewitnesses said that was a load of...dirt.
NO GOOD DEED PART 984:
An Arkansas man who tried to break up a bar fight will stick to drinking his beer in the future.
38-year-old Benjamin Gardner is a former probation officer. When a fight broke out at the bar where he was drinking, he attempted to stop it by flashing his old badge. One of the combatants laughed in his face and then knocked him out.
But that's not the worst of it. When he regained consciousness, Gardner was arrested and charged with impersonating an officer, a misdemeanor. He was the only one arrested in the melee.
LOTTERY WINNER A REAL LOSER
A Pennsylvania woman who won a million-dollar lottery last year is accused of purchasing the winning ticket with money she'd stolen from the grocery store where she worked.
51-year-old Joan Lechleitner was arrested along with her fiance, her daughter and her nephew -- all whom worked with her at the store. They're accused of ringing up fake purchases over several years and netting $175,000. It's believed that Lechleitner used some of that money to buy lottery tickets, including the winner, which netted her more than $260,000 after taxes.
All four face multiple charges, including conspiracy, theft and theft by deception. They were all released on $25,000 bail and drove away in Lechleitner's brand new truck.
