THE D.A. OF THE DAY - MONDAY, JUNE 20TH



WEIRD NEWS: Gettin' Iggy With It


A guard at a Colorado courthouse ended up with quite a "tail" to tell after he stopped a visitor from bringing a concealed iguana into the building.

The officer, who's no doubt used to seeing snakes come in to plead cases, was shocked when he put the man's briefcase on the X-ray machine and saw the lizard tucked away amid piles of legal papers. A Boulder County Sheriff's Department rep said that people have tried to smuggle in dogs, cats and rodents in past years, but this was a first.

The department sent out a tweet with an X-ray image of an iguana, followed by the warning: "At the Justice Center only service animals are allowed. No iguanas...even if it goes through the X-ray machine."


WEIRD NEWS: Criminal Reveals All In Court


An Arkansas man who was facing an indecent exposure charge added to his legal problems when he stripped naked, ran ran into a crowded courtroom and shouted, "Court is back in session!"

18-year-old Derrick Thomas has been in police custody for a month since being arrested for lying naked on a city sidewalk. He was due in court last week to answer the charge when he asked his police escort for a drink of water. The officer allowed him to get a drink from a bathroom sink, and when he came out, he pulled down his pants, took off his shirt and ran into the courtroom. The stunned judge had to call a recess.

Thomas was grabbed by officers and whisked away to a holding cell where he was heard laughing and telling another inmate, "I told you that I would do it” and "They will put on his tombstone that he was the one that was naked in the courtroom." In addition to indecent exposure, Thomas faces charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental operations.


WEIRD NEWS: Uh Oh, Vandal-Os



Police in Pennsylvania are searching for the culprits behind a bizarre vandalism attack involving watermelon and SpaghettiOs.

Cops say pranksters recently launched an attack on the home of a 47-year-old woman, using watermelons that had been hollowed out and stuffed with "the neat round spaghetti you can eat with a spoon." The mischievous melon tosser, or tossers, left a mess on the woman's front steps but caused no damage.

Police say the woman's house was bombarded with whoopie pies a year ago, but don't believe the two attacks are connected. There are no suspects in either incident.


WEIRD NEWS: This guy LOVES the road...


A New Zealand man gave new meaning to the phrase "taking it to the street" -- by dropping his pants and attempting to engage in an X-rated activity with an actual street.

The unidentified gent gave office workers in the town of Long Beach quite a show last week when he stripped down for a bit of road work and began humping the pavement madly -- while a friend of his crouched on all fours offering encouragement. A not-safe-for-work video uploaded to Reddit shows the 20-something guy going at it for a good bit before finally zipping up and getting on with his day.

Adele sings about "Chasing Pavements." Maybe this is just what happens when a horny guy catches one.
