One Stop Weird News Shopping

Chuck might get an entire week's worth of material from this. Mischief makers, thefts, bear costumes, calling 911 because she was hungry, disturbances, one animal complaint after another, suspicious situations and more! I just want to say that after reading this police blotter from Cleveland, Ohio's Sun Star Courier, I feel much better about myself, and the small town in which I live.

The only thing missing to make this the #1 site are photos of the callers! Within the first few calls a family is "trapped" inside their house by squirrel and several motorists call about a turtle taking too long to cross the entrance road to the mall!

Aside from the squirrel that trapped a family in their home, I thought the woman who complained that someone was spraying Nair into her hair at work and in her car was fantastic. You can't make this stuff up.
