Weird News
Dairy Queen
workers had quite the wake-up when a man in a rainbow wig entered their store
with a loaded handgun. WPXI reports the incident happened in
Delmont, Pennsylvania; a man put on a bright yellow safety vest and a rainbow
wig to supposedly grab some ice cream. Instead, he grabbed a whole bunch of
attention because he was also carrying a gun in his hand. Workers called
police, who arrived a minute later to apprehend the man. The suspect claimed he
was "undercover" and was "working to restore [Donald]
Trump to President King of the United States." The unidentified
suspect was taken into custody. Police searched his car, unearthing two more
loaded handguns and 62 rounds of ammunition. The man now faces felony charges.
Traffic was
snarled in Easton, Pennsylvania, when a rig dumped a whole bunch of white
powder on the ground. Amazingly, it wasn't drugs this time. Lehigh
Valley Live
reports a rig was traveling up a super-steep hill, but the contents
it was carrying were a little too heavy to make the trek. Turns out, the
truck driver hadn't properly secured his load, which resulted
in nine pallets of flour -- or about 50 big bags -- tumbling onto the
street. The pileup forced a road closure so police could clean up the
confectionary chaos. No one was injured. No word on what consequences the
driver faces.
This man is
definitely not an entrepreneur, especially since his business model involved
selling stolen goods right outside the store he'd just robbed. WVLT reports a man in Knoxville,
Tennessee, stole a bunch of televisions from Walmart and managed to sneak them
outside without getting caught. But instead of making off with his treasure
trove, he decided to try to cash in on his stolen goods right there in the
parking lot. Police found Donald Kirkland outside the
Walmart with the stolen TVs. The suspect tried running away, but he wasn't
faster than the officers and was arrested. Police found he not only stole
televisions, he also swiped a karaoke machine and camping equipment to sell in
the parking lot. A Walmart employee told police they saw Kirkland
loading a television into his cart, so he was charged with theft of
merchandise.
Dr. Govind Nandakumar is a surgeon who commutes to
work at a hospital in India. Normally, his drive into work takes between 30 and
45 minutes. Earlier this week, though, he got stuck in heavy traffic -- and was
worried because he had an important surgery scheduled. Traffic wasn't moving
and it didn't look like he would make it in time. So, Govind hopped out of his
car and ran the final two miles to the hospital. Luckily, Govind has a driver
-- and that driver was able to keep moving along as the dedicated doctor was
running ahead. It all worked out. Govind arrived at the hospital in time to
perform the surgery -- and also take care of the other patients he was
scheduled to see for the rest of the day, all thanks to an unplanned jog
through bumper-to-bumper traffic.
