D.O.T.D. August 7

- Talk about needing a new boyfriend…In Essex, VT, an unidentified man led police on a chase that ended when his vehicle hit a tree and he fled, leaving his 8-month pregnant girlfriend behind. An officer tried to pull the suspect over for speeding when he took off. His vehicle then clipped a house and rammed a tree. He then jumped out of the car and fled on foot leaving the pregnant woman behind. Fortunately she, nor the baby were injured. Mr. “Wonderful” showed up later voluntarily at the police station with his attorney. (Maybe that’s where he ran to because he knew he couldn’t drive there anymore)
- A man from Norway recently burned down his garage and car while trying to get rid of a wasp’s nest. The unidentified elderly gentleman poured lighter fluid on a rag and lit it without realizing he also ignited the woodpile that contained the wasp’s nest. By the time firefighters arrived, both the garage and the man’s car were smoldering wrecks. When asked for a comment the gentleman said, “Maybe using lighter fluid wasn’t such a good idea, but it was an accident all the same and the wasps are gone!” (Mission accomplished!)
- On Tuesday, 26 high school cheerleaders from Texas all crammed into an elevator and got stuck…for almost a half-hour. The girls were at a cheerleading camp at the University of Texas and they all thought it would be really funny to see how many people they could fit into an elevator at one time. So all 26 of them jumped onto the elevator, which was on the fourth floor at the time. When the elevator reached the first floor the doors wouldn’t open. The girls started freaking out, a couple of them had cell phones and called 911. Police and firefighters arrived about 25 minutes later and were able to pry the elevator doors open. (I bet they are still talking about that at the police station and fire house.)
