A Franklin, Indiana man who's been arrested once for driving his lawnmower while drunk was arrested again over the weekend for the same exact reason. A sheriff's deputy was sent to a Franklin lawn around 5:15 p.m. after a caller said a man wearing a neon green shirt and riding a red lawnmower pulled into his yard and began to mow his grass. The caller said he told the man to get off his property. A Franklin police officer spotted the man on his lawnmower on a county road. The man was identified by his driver’s ID card as Barry K. Ridge. Ridge told the sheriff's deputy that he was headed from his uncle's house back to his home. The deputy said he noticed Ridge's eyes appeared glassy. According to the police report, Ridge's breath test at the Johnson County Jail registered .165. The legal limit in Indiana is .08. Ridge was arrested on a preliminary charge of OWI with a previous conviction. His lawnmower was also impounded. (https://goo.gl/HS2ZHh)

Three
men who Cops say jumped a teenager in East Flushing, Queens, and
stole the “Air Jordans” right off his feet tried to sell the
shoes minutes after the robbery. These men also found out the hard
way that the sneakers were just knock-offs when they tried to sell
them at a consignment shop. Not only that, the store’s surveillance
camera captured crystal-clear video of them as they tried to cash in
on the fake Jordans. One employee of the store had no idea they were
stolen and said, “It just seemed like a normal transaction. They
didn’t stutter. They just told me they wanted to sell it.” He
told the trio, “They’re fake. We can’t buy them.” Police
released the footage last week as they continued to look for the
trio. (https://goo.gl/UCxqFr)
A
hooded man wielding a knife stormed into a McDonald’s in London,
England and stole a box of Monopoly vouchers. Surveillance video
shows the unidentified suspect, who is wearing gloves and a mask over
his face, rushing through the fast-food restaurant with what appears
to be a kitchen knife. He then lifts up the counter that separates
the employees from the dining area, grabs the Monopoly box, and
threatens a worker with the weapon before fleeing the store. Police
just released the footage in hopes of finding the man in question.
Detective Constable Emma Brookes stated that police are seeking any
information on the robbery and hope someone might recognize the
suspect from his clothes or have overheard anyone talking about it.
