SHORELINE, WASHINGTON — A 24-year-old Shoreline woman, naked and apparently drunk or stoned, crashed her Volkswagen Beetle into a downtown utility pole, causing a power outage that affected more than 4,000 residents.
A police sergeant patrolling the area heard the crash at about 1:30 a.m. and found the woman sprawled au naturale in the vehicle, drifting in and out of consciousness.
She was transported to a nearby hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said she had no I.D. and “we don’t know why she was naked.” They suspect the involvement of drugs or alcohol. Power was restored in the area by 8:00 a.m.
MAHWAH, NEW JERSEY — A bank employee servicing a walk-up ATM last month accidentally left behind a canvas bag containing $150,000 in cash. When the employee realized the error and rushed back to retrieve the bag, it was gone.
A bank surveillance camera showed a man emerging from a white van, taking the bag, and driving away.
Police identified the van and traced it to nearby Irvington. The owner was arrested and charged with theft of mislaid property.
Shortly after the theft, police said, the culprit had used $46,000 of the cash to purchase a new SUV.
SHELBY, MICHIGAN — A Shelby woman called 911 last month after she was chased around her yard by a pig.
The woman said she was doing yard work when a large pig appeared and ran toward her aggressively. When the animal became distracted by a rubber ball, she escaped into the house and called for help.
Shelby police captured the porker and placed it in a patrol car while they located the pig’s owner.
The owner, who said the pig’s name is Pig, thanked the Shelby police for “not writing me a ticket for having poop in the car.”
The owner volunteered to clean the police car, and he took coffee and donuts to the station to show his appreciation.
