WEIRD NEWS: The Dog Ate My Prescription


A Florida woman was really barking up the wrong tree when she was busted for drug possession during a traffic stop -- and told cops the pills actually belonged to her dog.

Anita Wymer was picked up for doing more than 90 miles per hour down I-95 in the wee hours of Saturday morning, and when the deputy approached her car, he noticed a strong aroma of booze. Wymer admitted she'd been drinking and couldn't pass a Breathalyzer test, which led the officer to search her vehicle -- where he found about 15 assorted tranquilizers and anti-depressants, but no prescription.

The 56-year-old woman said the pills had actually been prescribed to her dog, but did acknowledge that she'd taken one earlier in the evening. She was taken to jail and charged with multiple traffic offenses, as well as drug possession.


WEIRD NEWS: Woman Goes Nuts Over Doughnuts


An Indiana woman is in jail after she stabbed her husband with a fork -- because he didn't come home with her favorite doughnuts.

Police say 37-year-old Michelle Nelson sent her husband Timothy out to get doughnuts. Unfortunately, the store ran out of her favorite flavor, so Timothy came home empty-handed. That was a big mistake. Michelle admits to getting angry because Timothy "did not know what else she liked after being together for several years."

The couple got into a heated argument, and when Timothy tried to leave the house, Michelle stopped him and stabbed him in the chest with a fork. Timothy then ran outside the house and sat against a tree, where officers found him applying pressure to his chest. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Michelle was placed under arrest and charged with aggravated battery.



WEIRD NEWS: Armed and Delicious!


An elderly British woman ended a beef with a wanna-be mugger by pulling out some pork -- and beating the crooked chick over the head with a package of bacon.

The 86-year-old, whose name was not released, had withdrawn a "sizeable" amount of money from an ATM to do her weekly shopping, then headed to her local supermarket. While walking the aisles, she was approached by the thuggish gal, who grabbed her shopping cart and backed her into a corner, demanding she turn over all her cash.

Rather than turn over the lettuce, the saucy granny took the bacon from her cart and began pummeling the younger woman, eventually chasing her from the store. Cops are looking at the surveillance tape in hopes of hauling the suspect in for some serious grilling.
