Beer Cure and Other Shorts

  • Bad News on the Beer front: Police Constable Rebecca Stevenson crashed her car. Not newsworthy in itself, but when fellow officers arrived they found her, drunk (twice the limit), barefooted, and wearing only her nightdress. She was sacked by Lincolnshire police following an internal disciplinary hearing.

  • This is not all that unusual, for instance, three San Antonio law enforcement officers were caught drinking and driving, and taken into custody in separate incidents, and all in the same night. While a state trooper crashed his car into another on the Garden State Parkway in Wall Township, New Jersey, he was found to be over the drink driving limit.

Zombie and Alien Apocalypse

In case you weren't aware, last September we missed an alien invasion and the end of the world. Well, only if you don't live in Southern California, which apparently took the brunt of these cataclysmic events. Californians in Orange County, who were tuned into the Cox and Spectrum cable TV stations, saw this message flash across their TV screens on Thursday the 22nd of September 2017.

Criminal Costs

Patrick Ryan of Preston Lancashire (aka Rogue ‘n’ Nosh), is a man who has committed over 650 crimes (that he's been caught for), and just carries on committing them. He even commits crimes immediately he is released from prison. For example one was committed on his way home, after release from Barlinne Prison in Scotland, to Preston England. Apart from his normal run of the mill crimes (often fuelled by his alcoholism), which mostly consist of ordering food and drink he can't pay for in restaurants, he is also a registered sex offender.

England's Most Caught Thief ......

His criminal record is so long that it comes to over 100 printed pages, and police try to no longer print it out more than once, to save paper. He had already served more than 23 years behind bars before the age of 50, but has carried on committing offences and is now in his 60's. It is estimated that he has cost the country over £3m plus in prison costs alone. Police and court time probably pushes the figure past £4m.
