THAT'S SMURFED UP.



A Tennessee man is feeling blue after being taken into custody for breaking into a high school and setting off a fire alarm -- in order to free the Smurfs he said were trapped inside the alarm box.

The unidentified 32-year-old suspect was wearing only socks and tighty-whities when he managed to sneak into the vocational building at William Blount High School in Maryville. He got in shortly after the opening bell, and wandered into the administration office, where he babbled incoherently and began playing with a dispenser of hand sanitizer, according to a secretary who called 911.

He managed to break into the alarm box before officers could arrive on the scene, then explained he was only doing it to save the cartoon characters whose lives depended on it. He's currently being held for psychiatric evaluation.

BITING OFF MORE THAN SHE COULD CHEW

A Canadian woman really put the bite into crime when she sank her teeth into her mother -- who had just saved her from drowning -- and a cop who came to the older woman's rescue.

Christianne Verbonac had passed out in her bathtub while stoned, and her mom dragged her out of the water -- but the 22-year-old didn't appreciate the effort, and cornered the older woman in her kitchen, biting her in several places. When cops arrived to calm Verbonac down, she spat and cursed at them, eventually gnawing on the hand of one officer.

Verbonac's lawyer blamed the incident on substance abuse, but Judge Steven Bilodeau sentenced her to 45 days in jail, commenting, "I get that you were on drugs, but you have to appreciate how insane what you did was. She saved your life and you thanked her by chewing on her and then the police arrived and you chewed on them, too"

FLORIDA MAN SHOULD RE-THINK THAT INK



A Florida man had no idea that one day his body ink would do him in, but that’s exactly what happened to Jonathan Hewett.

Seems the man has some rather unusual tattoos on his face, and when he was caught on camera burglarizing a home in West Palm Beach, they stood out. One that was especially prominent was the “Redrum” tattoo on his neck. For those who have watched “The Shining,” you will remember that redrum was a prominent part of that movie (it spells murder when written backwards).

Thankfully the man didn’t murder anyone, but he was charged with burglary, grand theft and possession of a weapon by a felon (he had been in prison on a robbery conviction and other weapons-related charges.)

The home owner also recognized Hewett because the two had met previously, and police were able to track him down through information in the Palm Beach County Jail’s tattoo database.

BIG NIGHT IN THE NBA:



It was historic night for NBA basketball in California Thursday. In Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant concluded his 20-year run with the Lakers by scoring 60 points and leading the team to a 101-96 comeback victory. It put a nice capper on Kobe's incredible career, despite the Lakers dismal season.

Celebs at Staples Center to witness Kobe's final game included the Lakers faithful Jack Nicholson, Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea(who played the National Anthem on bass prior to the game) and Snoop Dogg, as well as Kanye West, David Beckham and Jay Z. Several of Kobe's teammates over the years were also in attendance, including Shaquille O'Neal, Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher.

Across the state in Oakland, the defending champion Golden State Warriors set a new NBA record by getting their 73rd win of the season, topping a mark set by the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls of 1995-96. The icing on the cake, Warriors star Steph Curry made his 400th 3-pointer of the season in the Warriors 125-104 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

"AFFLUENZA" TEEN WILL SPEND 2 YEARS IN JAIL

The so-called "affluenza" teen is not getting off easy due to his family's wealth this time. On Wednesday, Ethan Couch was order to spend nearly two years in jail. The exact sentence is 180 days for each of the four individuals who died due to his 2013 drunk-driving car crash.

Although the sentence won't bring back those killed in the crash, the families of the victims will likely take some solace in knowing that Couch is finally being punished. Prior to Wednesday's sentencing, Couch's only punishment was probation, which led the families of some of the victims to file civil lawsuits seeking financial compensation.

Couch, who turned 19 Monday while locked up in a Texas jail, is no longer considered a minor. It's unclear whether his time already spent in jail will be deducted from his 720-day sentence.

WILL SMITH: KILLER OF FORMER NFL PLAYER CALLED A HERO

Last weekend's shooting death of former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith may have actually been a case of self-defense.

The 34-year-old former defensive end was shot and killed by Cardell Hayes who rear-ended Smith, setting off a road rage encounter. That's when Hayes allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Smith dead. Smith's wife was also shot in the leg and is recovering in the hospital.

But police are investigating the events that led up to the shooting, and a passenger who was in the car with Hayes says that Smith was the aggressor and that Hayes was acting in self defense. Kevin Oneale says Hayes saved his life because Smith had a gun and was going to shoot them both. Police have confirmed that a loaded 9mm gun was found inside Smith's car.

Oneale is not charged in the case but has hired a lawyer who released a statement saying, "Was Will Smith acting like a Saint? This was a hit-and-run that ended up in a tragedy. You’ve got the aggression of two football players, facing off with each other as if they are on the field and you are going to get your point across by any means necessary." At least one witness has said that Smith threatened to get his gun first. Oneale's lawyer is calling it "justifiable homicide."

NO GOOD DEED... 

A drive-thru employee at a Sonic fast-food restaurant in Oklahoma City gave a customer a free burger and was thanked for it with a knuckle sandwich.

28-year-old Briana Lee tried to pay for her food with a credit card, but it was declined. After explaining that she had no cash on her, the restaurant worker let her go without paying.

But instead of showing gratitude for the generous act, she summoned the worker outside and sprayed her with mace. She knocked the woman to the ground, kicked her in the ribs and stole her apron, which contained cash.

Lee got back in her car and sped off, but police were able to catch up to her a short while later. She was arrested and charged with assault and battery and robbery. The worker was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

BIRDBRAIN SHOVES FACE IN RAW CHICKEN:

 

The cleanliness and safety of a chicken wings restaurant in Colorado is being called into question after a video surfaced showing an employee shoving her face into a tray of raw chicken.

Employees at Wingstop in Thornton, Colorado are heard laughing and screaming as their co-worker accepts a dare and face-dives into the raw meat. The video, which has since been taken down, surfaced online thanks to a customer at the restaurant who witnessed the disgusting act and reported it to a local TV news station. The restaurant has never had any health code violations and the manager insists that the chicken was never served to customers. He said the employee showed poor judgement when she shoved her beak in the chicken but stopped short of mentioning whether or not the employee will be fired.

DEAD RINGER:

Police in Odessa, have arrested a woman suspected of sneaking into a funeral home, walking up to a dead woman's body in an open casket, and then she stole a ring off her finger.

Surveillance cameras captured the whole ghastly crime. The video shows a woman walking into the room and reaching inside a coffin holding the body of 88-year-old Lois Hicks. She is then seen twisting the dead woman's finger, even tearing off some of the skin, until the ring slips off. She then walks out of the room.

The deceased's daughter Vel McKee says, "I can’t believe someone would be that low. It makes me sick to my stomach. Horrible. I hope they catch her." Surveillance cameras outside the funeral home also caught the thief's vehicle and license plate. As for the ring, the family says it was a fake worth about only $10.

DAVID GEST FOUND DEAD IN HOTEL

Music producer and reality TV star David Gest has died at the age of 62. Friend Imad Handi confirmed the news, saying “David was truly larger than life. He was not just a huge talent and a dear friend but a showbiz icon.”

Police issued a statement that read, "Police were called at 10:17 on Tuesday 12 April to the Four Seasons hotel, in Westferry Circus, E14, to reports of an unexplained death of a man in his 60s.

"London Ambulance Service were called to the scene. Life was pronounced extinct at the hotel. A post-mortem will be held in due course. Next of kin are in the process of being informed."

The former “Celebrity Big Brother” star was married to Liza Minnelli from 2002-2003, and they only officially divorced in 2007. Michael Jackson was his best man and Elizabeth Taylor as maid of honor.

Gest grew up with Jackson and his brothers in California, and was close friends with the family. In 2001 his television special on the 30th anniversary of the launch of Jackson's solo career was the highest rated in history.

The TV personality gained a following in the United Kingdom recently when he appeared on CBB

In January 2016, Gest was forced to quit the Channel 5 show after becoming ill.

A seasoned reality star, David came fourth on the 2006 series of I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here! on ITV and went on to land three prime time TV series after the show finished This Is David Gest, Grease is the Word and Greased Lightnin'

David said deciding to go on reality show I'm a Celeb was the best thing he ever did, as he said: "I finally realized that people liked me."

"I guess people saw the real me and realized” I wasn't just a freak in sunglasses. I get mobbed in the street by fans now. It's crazy, but I love it."

CHARLIE SHEEN: NOT PAYING CHILD SUPPORT

 

Charlie Sheen's ex Brooke Mueller is asking a judge to make him pay the child support he owes her.

Mueller claims Sheen still owes her $89,000 in back child support for their seven-year-old twin boys Bob and Max. Court documents show that Sheen is supposed to cough up $55,000 per month but has only paid a portion of what he owes over the past two months.

Sheen filed court documents last months insisting on having his child support payments reduced because his income had significantly dropped. 

He claims he can no longer afford to pay $55,000 because he now only makes about $87,000 a month. My goodness, how is he surviving...

I recently took my guitar player Dave and our drummer Erich … I wanted them to be able to take their kids for the first time on the bus. It was so awesome because I love hanging out with them but I love that I can give them back and I’ll go surf and do my thing.”

BEER THIEF CALLS 911...ON HIMSELF



A suspected beer thief in Florida ended up behind bars -- after repeatedly calling 911 to report that he'd been accused of stealing beer.

Philip Chege dialed the emergency number nine times in less than an hour last Sunday afternoon, claiming the manager at J-Food convenience store had accused him of pocketing a one dollar can of brew. The store owners insisted they had to intention of pressing charges against Chege, but said they declined to sell him the suds because he'd repeatedly hit them with abusive and racist slurs.

An officer who was dispatched to the scene warned Chege about making unnecessary 911 calls, but he rang the number again even before the cop was able to pull out of the parking lot.

DRONE HITS MAN IN HEAD AT WORK




A South African man had a really strange day at the office last week.

Interface designer David Perel was sitting at his desk when all of a sudden, a drone flew through his window and slammed right into his head. At first, Perel says he thought there was an explosion outside the building and that he was struck by flying debris, but he soon discovered the white quad-copter laying on his desk.

Luckily he suffered only a minor bruise on his head and a headache. Once he collected himself, he was able to remove the memory card from the drone and upload the video which shows the entire flight including the moment of impact. He later shared it on YouTube.

SO A GOAT WALKS INTO A STARBUCKS:



You think you need your morning cup of coffee? This kid needed it really baaaaaaad.

Workers at a Starbucks in Northern California had just opened the store for the day when a goat wandered in for her caffeine fix. Baristas tried to use a banana to lure her out, but she was content staying put and chewed on a box instead. So they called police and the fire department, who were able to hold the goat until animal control arrived and took her away. A few hours later, the animal's owner came to get her.

Apparently the goat, named Millie, lives at a home a few doors down from the Starbucks and was just exploring.

THIS CROOK WILL HAVE A RUFF TIME IN COURT  

A Georgia man is going to have a "ruff" time explaining himself to a judge when he appears in court to answer charges that he broke into a home -- by crawling through the doggy door while stark naked.

Neighbors spotted Jared Lemming hopping a fence before dropping to all fours and squeezing through the joint's pet entrance. Cops arrived while Lemming was still inside, and he told them he'd lived there a year or so ago and had just dropped in to do some laundry -- an excuse they didn't buy, given his lack of clothing.

According to the police report,  officers had to use some force to subdue Lemming, since he wouldn't put his hands up when requested -- because he needed them to cover his junk.

POWDER OUTAGE? 

 

A Florida crook showed a serious misunderstanding of the phrase "take a powder" -- by trying to aid his escape from cops by spraying himself with a fire extinguisher.

Anthony Dixon cut the power to a Family Dollar store to disable the alarm, then used a cinder block to break the store's front glass window. A witness heard the commotion and called 911 to alert police, who arrived to find a trail of white powder, which they followed to Dixon's hiding place inside the store.

He quickly confessed to the break-in for the purpose of stealing cigarettes and also copped to taking two fire extinguishers from a nearby apartment complex so that he could spray himself with the contents as a way to hide from authorities. He didn't explain how that might help.

BIRD FLIPPIN BRIDE ENDS UP IN BRAWL..WITH HER FATHER IN LAW

  

A Russian newlywed caused quite a rumble by flashing her new in-laws a finger -- and we don't mean the one with the ring on it.

The bride, identified only as "Lena," was partying hearty at her reception when the videographer came her way and caught her on very candid camera -- flipping the bird at him, or someone in range of the lens. Her new father-in-law, who was right behind the shutterbug, assumed he was the target, and bum-rushed the woman, screaming, "What the heck is this? Put your middle finger on the plate and I cut it with a knife!"

Another man, presumably a relative, also weighed in, saying, "Go on, kill her." Things escalated to the point where the father-in-law shoved "Lena" to the ground and kicked her before order was restored.

One Web-savvy Russkie named John Anvarbekov shrugged the whole thing off, saying, "This is just a typical Russian wedding."

JIM CARREY: ACTOR LEAVES A HUGE TIP..



Jim Carrey left a waitress a $225.00 tip during an evening out in New York City.
The 53-year-old actor enjoyed a delicious meal at Chester restaurant at the Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District, which is a “vibrant bar” that serves “traditional American food” according to its website, and made his server’s night when he topped up their wages with the eye-watering sum of cash, reported the New York Post.


The big-hearted star dined with friends and the group were said to be in “good” spirits when they ordered sparkling water, a bottle of ­pinot noir wine, lemon chicken and a quinoa dish from the tantalising menu.
A source said, “Everyone seemed to be in a good mood."

HARRISON FORD: ROOKIE COP MAKES BIG MISTAKE - LEADS TO ARREST

 

Harrison Ford has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Huntington Beach, California Police Department. 

Last week, the 73-year-old actor's name appeared on the department's online arrest log with the charge of "inflicting corporal punishment on a spouse" and "possession of a controlled substance." But it wasn't true and Ford was actually out of the country at the time. The police department now explains that it was a mistake made by a rookie cop who was being trained in data entry.

Officers in training often use fake names when learning how to enter arrest information into their system, but they're supposed to delete it immediately. The officer chose the Harrison Ford but forgot to delete it.
