THE D.A. OF THE DAY - TUESDAY, APRIL 19TH

 

ARRESTED FOR TWEETING?

 

Security agents at an airport in Vietnam stopped a man for tweeting, and he wasn't even on his smartphone. He was literally tweeting from his pants.

The man was trying to catch a flight to Taiwan but was stopped at security because he was trying to smuggle 18 live birds in his pants. Each little bird was strapped to his legs inside a little bag with only its head and tail sticking out. Most of the birds are banned from leaving the country, and 11 of them are on the list of protected species.

The man was arrested and is under investigation.

MAN SHE REALLY LIKES CHEETOS:

 
A Florida woman was arrested for punching a convenience store worker who'd tried to retrieve a bag of Cheetos that she was hiding in her crotch.

49-year-old Melissa Mower is accused of trying to steal the cheesy snack and a six-pack of beer from a convenience store. The female store worker confronted her as she walked out and demanded the items. Mower returned the beer, but shoved the Cheetos under her sundress and ran away. But the employee wasn't going to let her get away that easy. She gave chase and followed Mower into the woods. Mower again refused to give up the Cheetos and punched the worker in the eye.

As you know, it ain't easy being cheesy, and Mower was eventually captured by police, who found her in possession of the Cheetos. She was arrested and charged with theft and battery.

CALL HIM BRUCE...

A Florida man has changed his name to Bruce Jenner because he believes the name should be brought back to its "heterosexual roots."

The actor and bodyguard, who was born Mark Behar and actually once worked for the Kardashian family, says he wanted to take the name Bruce Jenner after the former Olympic track star became Caitlyn Jenner. His publicist (yes, he has a publicist) released a statement saying, "The famous Bruce Jenner name will return to its heterosexual roots where our client believes it belongs, instead of hanging out with the likes of the Kardashians and getting into car accidents as Caitlyn."

The new Bruce Jenner, who claims to be a "110 percent All-American Alpha Male," has a Facebook page promoting himself, mocking Caitlyn Jenner and supporting Donald Trump.

COPS NAB REAL LIFE MARTY MCFLY! 

 

Police in Oklahoma City have arrested a man from the future who traveled back in time to steal chicken and bacon from a fast food restaurant, and then assaulted an employee.

Cops say 36-year-old Dante Rashad Anderson, whom to the best of their knowledge is actually not from the future, walked into a Carl's Jr. and demanded food from employees. They refused and ordered him to leave, so he headed over to a nearby Arby's. There, he jumped over the counter and ran into the kitchen, where he pushed a female employee against a wall and grabbed a handful of bacon and chicken before walking out.

Officers eventually found him lying on the ground near a taco restaurant. He told them he'd stolen the food because he's from four years in the future, where everyone is dead, and he was hungry. He was taken to the hospital to have a minor injury looked at and then booked into jail on charges of assault and battery, larceny, and destruction of property.

ZAC BROWN CLARIFIES DRUG BUST SITUATION

When rumors surfaced last week that Zac Brown had been caught up in a drug bust in South Florida, Zac took to Facebook to clarify the situation. TMZ reports that Brown was at a hotel party in Palm Beach on April 8 when police came in and arrested some of the partygoers for possession of marijuana and cocaine.In a Facebook message posted on Friday (4/15), Zac confirmed that he was in the hotel room but says he had nothing to do with the people who were busted with drugs. Zac said in the message, "My dad always said nothing good ever happens when you stay out late. It’s a lesson I learned the hard way last week, being in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Brown said he'd only been in the hotel room for a short time when police officers arrived and arrested two people for possession of drugs. He also said that he didn't know those people and had no idea they had drugs on them. Zac also made it clear that he fully cooperated with the authorities and is not part of any ongoing police investigation. Brown went on to say, "Everyone is responsible for their actions, and I regret using poor judgment and putting myself in that position."
According to the gossip site, police raided the room after a man was arrested in car outside the hotel with 30 grams of cocaine. After he was busted, the man told police that he had come there with two women who were inside the hotel room.

RANDY HOUSER DISHES WEDDING DETAILS



Randy Houser and his fiancée Tatiana Starzynski are both very involved in planning their upcoming wedding. Houser tells People, "Making decisions together and planning a day that feels like 'us.' We like to do absolutely everything together so it has been really fun visiting venues and going to tastings." But one aspect of their big day is strictly Randy's domain. He shares, "I have been in charge of all musical aspects including the band selection and key songs. I have also written and recorded a song for the first dance which Tatiana will not hear until the day!" The wedding ceremony will take place in Nashville next month and will feature Houser's 4-year-old son West as a ring bearer.

· Randy also talked about popping the question last April while the two were watching movies at home. Houser said, "I just felt like it was the right time. I walked to the closet and and came back with the ring, got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. It was just perfect for us!"

NO NEED TO RENEW VOWS – KEITH URBAN
 

Contrary to what the rumors say, Keith Urban and his wife Nicole Kidman won't be renewing their wedding vows this year to honor their tenth anniversary. When People recently asked the couple about the rumors, Keith said, "I read that, too. I don't know where they get half of this stuff from. No." And Kidman says there's a good reason for why they aren't renewing their vows. She said, "We don't need to. The vows are strong, we keep them." Urban went on to say, "They're daily in the sense of action, as opposed to being recited. I like to think of showing those on a daily basis." The couple will celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary on June 25.

THE D.A. OF THE DAY - MONDAY, APRIL 18TH

PARTY FOUL 





A 20-year-old Georgia man is under arrest after he attacked patrons inside a bar -- with a bottle of fart spray.
The stench sent people running out of the bar, and police were called to investigate the odor. Witnesses implicated Blake Zengo and police approached him.

They say he was very drunk and slurring his speech.
He denied any wrongdoing, but after a woman told police that he had sprayed her in the face with a fart spray, cops searched his pockets and found a bottle of a "Liquid Ass."

The non-toxic novelty item promises to fill the air "with a genuine, foul butt-crack smell with hints of dead animal and fresh poo." Zengo was charged with disorderly conduct, public intoxication and underage possession of alcohol.

SAD SACK IN YAK FLAK

A British man really had a cow when he woke up after taking too many sleeping pills and finding out that he'd drowsily gone on an online shopping spree -- and spent $3000 for a live yak!

The man, who really wanted to remain anonymous, went way beyond drunk dialing during his binge, and ended up placing an order with a company peddling exotic livestock. He asked that he be sent a "golden yak cow" that would run him a shade under $2700 -- plus about $400 for shipping. (You wouldn't expect it to walk all the way from Asia, would you?)

The sheepish shopper panicked when he saw the invoice in his inbox, but luckily, the yak-dealer was understanding. The would-be yak owner later posted an online update explaining that he'd managed to convince the seller to cancel shipment, saying, "Oh I’m sure you would've all liked for me to just let them deliver it, but my apartment complex would boot my [butt] on to the street. The only thing worse than being homeless is being a homeless yak owner."

DO NOT INHALE - GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL

 

A Florida man huffed and puffed when cops pulled him over on drug and traffic charges -- and wouldn't let him puff one last smoke before being hauled off in handcuffs.

A cop tried to flag down Shawn Rutig after he spotted the 31-year-old driving erratically down the middle of a sidewalk in Leesburg, but he refused to pull over. That's easy to understand, since the officers who eventually pulled Rutig over found his vehicle to be packed with meth, scales, syringes and other paraphernalia -- along with a safe filled with more drugs in the trunk.

According to the police report, Rutig did not resist arrest, but did hesitate before getting out of his ride, saying he really needed to smoke one more cigarette before going to jail -- a request deputies denied. 

BedEx

A FedEx employee picked a heck of a spot for a quick nap.

The unnamed worker grew tired while loading packages onto a FedEx cargo plane in Memphis and decided to grab a few Z's. When he finally woke up, he was 30,000 feet in the air on his way to Lubbock, Texas. He reportedly walked up to the cockpit door and knocked to get the pilot's attention, but the pilot wasn't about to open the door for someone who wasn't supposed to be on the plane and told the worker to use a phone in the cabin to communicate.

After the plane landed, the worker was questioned by police and released to FedEx officials. He was not arrested.

WAHLBERG VISITS TEAM OF BOSTON MARATHONERS

Mark Wahlberg, who co-stars in the movie “Patriots Day,” about the Boston Marathon bombing, surprised a few people who are prepping for this year’s race on Saturday. Wahlberg met with 68 members of Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital’s Race for Rehab team while they prepared for the 16.2-mile race today.

The actor was in Boston filming “Patriots Day” withJ.K. Simmons, John Goodman, and Michelle Monaghan. He visited with the people on the team, assuring them that they are going to getting the story right and making people proud.

“Everybody knows somebody who was directly impacted by the bombings at the marathon, and what a horrible tragedy it was. And when they decided they were going to make this movie, they had come to me and asked me if I wanted to be a part of it, and I was like, I don't think it's a good idea," “People” reports that Wahlberg told the group, which included survivors Heather Abbott, Roseanne Sdoia, and police officer Dic Donohue.

"But then when I read the script then I realized, oh my God, this is so powerful and so inspiring and such a tribute to everybody: victims, the rescue workers, the police department, the FBI, everybody," Wahlberg added.

“Patriot Days” is scheduled to open in theaters on December 21.

JASON BATEMAN: SHOWERED WITH DRINKS

A waitress and Jason Bateman both had an embarrassing night Saturday at a New York restaurant.

The actor was attending a party for the film he directed, The Family Fang, which had just premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The waitress, perhaps excited about getting to work a celebrity party, accidentally tripped and spilled an entire tray of drinks right on Bateman. The waitress apparently turned bright red from embarrassment and didn't even know who she spilled the drinks on until Bateman got down and helped her pick up the mess.
