March Madness and People Behaving Badly. Make that Very Badly…
Out of Bounds at the BK Lounge. Ok—we know that people’s attention spans appear to be getting shorter—but this is ridiculous. A 31-year old woman got so fed up with waiting to collect her order at a Burger King in Panama Beach, FL that she hopped over the counter and began attacking the counter staff. Yup. That’s really going to speed things up.
Thirty-one year old Kimesa Smith had ordered a Whopper Jr, and fries, and somehow decided that having waited for 20 minutes was just not acceptable. So, “We tore the Burger King up,” she reportedly told investigators. “I don’t play no games.” Good thing really, as she doesn’t seem to play well.
Apparently, she threw food at employees and struck workers with a jar that was on the counter and full of coins meant for charity. She also jumped onto the counter and pulled a manager’s hair.
And not to be left out—it seems some of the customers got involved as well, as a YouTube video—that’s it up top—bears witness, by throwing napkins around and even a chair. It should be mentioned that some of the patrons were in the area on Spring Break, as was Smith.
Of course the Panama City Beach police were called—having nothing better to do—and managed to get things under control. Smith was the only person charged—with misdemeanor battery. Ex post facto, she racked up additional charges of felony criminal mischief with damage exceeding $1,000, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Apparently, she said she would have gone to Taco Bell if she’d known she wasn’t going to be treated fairly—whatever that means.
I think this makes a good argument for using the drive-thru…or better yet—ordering pizza.
Maybe the “Dead” Part was Going too Far? What would you do if your 19-year old daughter was dating a registered sex offender? One father in California, whose daughter was doing just that, decided to take the direct approach and reportedly plastered her college campus—Grossmont College that would be—with posters offering a $3,000 reward for the ‘boyfriend’s’ body—dead or alive. Who said the Wild West is dead?
Apparently the posters included the 33-year old man’s name and picture—and the fact that he was a convicted sex criminal. So, Dad was arrested and is being held without bail. Well, that certainly worked out well.
Drop by—and Don’t Wear Anything ;)… No—no wink-wink or wee-hours romance here. But proof that among the things you just can’t plan for in life are…uninvited guests. You know—the kind that just ‘drop in’. As one young woman in Hattiesburg, MS found out recently, these types of folk may not always use the door. Kaliegh Townsend was woken up by a total stranger who dropped through her ceiling early last Tuesday morning. Oh yeah, the stranger was naked.
Why don’t they show that waking-up scenario on Cheerios commercials?
As it turns out 33-year old Patrick Williams was running from…any guess?…the police. Now there’s a surprise. Apparently, he dropped through the ceiling of Townsend’s apartment, having managed to get into a crawl space in the apartment complex to avoid exactly the kind of situation he found himself in, no doubt.
Townsend yelled at Williams to get out, as one would. “I was yelling, ‘Get out! Get out!’ AOL.com reports. “There was a hole in the ceiling, insulation everywhere and a naked man lying on the floor.” (there’s just no amount of Starbucks …)
But Williams wouldn’t go—he asked his hostess for some shorts. I think that’s reasonable, actually. But Townsend wasn’t having any of it and called the police who were—as it so happened—waiting in the parking lot for him. Townsend did finally succeed in persuading Williams to leave—but he only gets halfway out the door and ” ….runs back in screaming at me just to borrow a pair of shorts.” She didn’t give in, so on his way out he grabbed a jacket and wrapped that around himself.
In what must have looked like a scene from a Buster Keaton film, Williams was then arrested by Mississippi Department of Corrections officers and Lamar County sheriff’s deputies who were biding their time outside. He had reportedly served a two-year prison sentence for cocaine possession and had a warrant issued for his arrest in 2010 for failing to report to his probation officer. Now, he will be charged with felony malicious mischief resulting from the $500 damage he caused to the apartment complex.
And what about Townsend’s coat? The police recovered it—but she didn’t want it back.
I want to know how Williams lost his clothes…
These stories are GREAT! I thought from the name this was some kind of recipe corner for attorneys.
Hi Joann, Well thanks! And now that you mention it, perhaps we know a few attorneys who could use a little cooking help… 😉
