Curses, foiled again
"After Michele Grasso, 27, was convicted of drug dealing in 2008, he disappeared and eluded Italian authorities until this February, when he posted photos on his Facebook page of himself at London's Madame Tussaud's wax museum posing with a model of Barack Obama and working as a waiter. Italian police contacted British police, who arrested Grasso and returned him to Italy."  (Italy's ANSA news agency)

"Police arrested Eric Lee King, 21, on suspicion of stealing a television in Eagan, Minn., after he tried to conceal it in his pants. An officer spotted King leaving a business walking "straight-legged, shuffling his feet and not bending his knees," while trying to hold up his sagging pants. The officer called to King, who kept walking as if he hadn't heard, so the officer got out of his cruiser and approached King. He noticed a 19-inch flat screen TV shoved down the man's pants, as well as a remote, a power cord and a bottle of brake fluid."

Every vote counts
"While going door-to-door campaigning for re-election in Latimer County, Okla., Sheriff Robbie Brooks said he recognized the smell of marijuana when homeowner Jerry Paulk, 65, "walked to the door holding a burning joint, clipped to the end of a set of hemostats." Brooks removed Paulk and two women from the home while deputies obtained a search warrant. They found more marijuana and an indoor marijuana grow room. Brooks said that after his arrest, Paulk thanked him for treating him so well and promised to vote for him."
