FELONY SHOPLIFING – Apparently a man figured if he was going to risk jail, he’s better make it worthwhile. He tried to conceal a shirt, a pair of jeans, and a $695 coat and leave without paying, but Belk  loss prevention officers stopped him cold.  Anything over $300 is a felony when shoplifting.

HUDDLE BEFUDDLED – A man walked into Huddle House, obviously quite inebriated. He stumbled into the bathroom – and was there a very long time. Restaurant staff called police, who found the man passed out in the john – and charged him with public intoxication.

MERRY CHRISTMAS – and a happy new – beer? Maybe that’s what the man wanted. Maybe the woman said no, get your own beer. Whatever the reason, on Christmas Day, a man at The Lodge Apartments whopped a woman in the head with an empty beer bottle, then his fist, The woman suffered a laceration to the forehead, and the man suffered a trip to jail.

BET HE KNEW HER – A woman told police an “ unknown female” came to a Willow Bend apartment, knocked and asked for a man who lived there. When he came to the door, the woman slapped his face, then left. Maybe she was mad because he didn’t  remember her? Doubtful.

SOUNDS LIKE A PARTY – for free. Someone broke into Shogun Restaurant and made off with an assortment of shrimp, lobster, filet mignon, scallops, steak, tuna, $300 cash, a case of Miller beer and a case of Bud Light beer.  Somebody ate well over the holidays.

NO, NOT FROSTY! – Frosty the Snowman bit the dust when someone poked a hole in the Lenwood Drive inflatable figure. Forget melting – he just sagged to death.

KIDDIE TATS – A man at Lester Road Condominiums was arrested for tattooing a juvenile girl without parental permission. What was he thinking? Never mind. We probably don’t want to know.
