So I was trolling my local news website this morning as I sipped my coffee and I came across the “strange story” section. Some of these were amazingly ridiculous, while others were almost unbelievable. Ya know, it was like reading the trashy newspaper at the checkout…
Story #1: W.Virginia Couple Marry at Live Nativity
While a bit odd, it was touching. They met at a nativity, got engaged at a nativity, so then got married at a nativity. Although riding the donkey thing… nah, wouldn’t do it.
Story #2: Judge Makes 23 Spend Christmas in Jail
Okay, kudos to the judge for making these folks think about what could happen if they went to jail. He does come off looking like a scrooge though, doesn’t he? Apparently this is his M.O. - hopefully the people that had to spend last Christmas in jail aren’t back in the slammer already.
Story #3: Cops Put 2 on Ice After Frosty Stabbing
Now we’re getting weirder. Who in their right mind would stab an inflatable frosty? Not once, not twice, but THREE times? And the homeowner setting up video surveillance to catch the perps… Merry Christmas indeed.
Story #4: Woman Accused in Christmas Card Pot Plot
This one takes the cake for stupid people everywhere. So the woman tried to smuggle pot to her boyfriend in a Christmas card while he was in prison. Common sense tells you they read every piece of mail that comes in. The truly stupid thing is, the man was in prison for ramming the woman’s car with his! “I love ya baby, even if you did total my Honda. Here’s some doobies for you.”
Anybody else read any completely wild Christmas crime stories?
