A little anger management goes a long way

I want to pass along a very important lesson in jealous rampage etiquette. Ramming your truck into a car after finding out your girlfriend was with another guy is a bad idea. Ramming your truck into two police cars is a REALLY BAD IDEA.

While it might get you into a country song....it can also get you in a lot of trouble. It got a Chautauqua County man arrested….and shot by the cops.

Jamestown police say the guy was bent out of shape after finding out his girlfriend had been at a bar with another man. And who wouldn’t be? But dude….police cars? Cops tend to get a little upset over things like this. Police say after the guy rammed the second cruiser, he just kept going…so one of the officers fired a shot, which hit the guy in the hand. He ended up in the hospital….and is charged with reckless endangerment and DWI. (Okay, you just knew he had to be drunk, didn’t you?)

A really cheesy crime

Okay, this one has all the elements of a great story. A stupid criminal, drunk driving, and Velveeta!

The star of the story is a shoplifting suspect from Niagara Falls. He is accused of stealing a couple blocks of Velveeta cheese from a Wilson Farms store. Why would someone do that? I can understand having a desperate need to feed your family….but in this case, that does not appear to be the reason. Not when the guy is pulled over and charged with felony DWI.

Oh and by the way, he’s also charged with running a red light. Memo to shoplifters: stealing is certainly a crime….but in this case it was just petit larceny. Drive carefully when you leave….the traffic charges are a lot worse.
