Pizza shops get a lot of strange orders and a Domino’s in Texas got an especially strange request in the instruction section of an online order. A teen girl, Liz Bruner, wanted the delivery person to sing to her when handing over the pizza. Liz says she always requests someone to sing when she orders. Most delivery people don’t sing, but this time someone did. Pizza delivery man Austin Aranda sang Maroon 5’s She Will Be Loved at Liz’s front door.

A Wisconsin woman had a literal grab bag of illegal narcotics--cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, Ecstasy, and synthetic pot--hidden inside her body when police arrested her following a recent traffic stop. Acting on a tip, police pulled over a 1997 Monte Carlo being driven by 20-year-old Desiree Webster who was accompanied in the vehicle by Jaral McCollum, a 39-year-old convicted drug dealer. Investigators had been told that McCollum would “travel with females and have them conceal the contraband inside their body.” When a patrolman told Webster that police thought “drugs are in her private parts,” she claimed not to have “any drugs in her.” Webster, who had turned over to cops a small bag of pot that was in her bra, was arrested and transported to the county lockup. After Webster refused to cooperate with a strip search, she was taken to a local health care facility where a CT scan revealed a “baggie type mass” in her pelvic area. Webster and McCollum, who are locked up in the county jail, are scheduled for a July 9th court appearance.  (https://goo.gl/nkEoJ3)

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
A man is behind bars after police say he led them on a wild chase and crashed into another vehicle. It was around 2:00 p.m. on Saturday when Tulsa police officers spotted a man and a woman jump over a fence. When authorities tried to check on them, the woman jumped another fence and got away while the man got into a car. He led officers on a short chase before crashing into another car, and that’s when he jumped out of the car and ran from the scene. Police ultimately found the car, which was reportedly stolen. Officials say the alleged suspect accidentally left his wallet inside the vehicle, which led them to 31-year-old Eric Baker. Baker was arrested on complaints of possession of a stolen vehicle, eluding, and assault with a dangerous weapon on a police officer. (https://goo.gl/idz6MN)
