Police
have reported that a corn dog thief is on the loose in South
Carolina. A Myrtle Beach woman told cops that she returned to her
home yesterday afternoon and found a male intruder “just inside her
door eating a corndog.” The 30-year-old victim said that she
recognized the man as someone she had met last year, but whose name
she did not recall. When confronted by the homeowner, the suspect
“said he was hungry and stopped by to get something to eat.” The
suspect peddled away from the crime scene on a bicycle owned by the
woman, who told cops that her phone was also missing. In a bid to
identify the intruder, an officer processed a State Fair Corn Dogs
box for fingerprints. However, the corn dog container, which was
found on the floor, provided “no viable prints.”

Police
in Utah said they apprehended a dummy used by pranksters to scare
drivers who thought the mannequin was a body. The Lone Peak Police
Department said in a Facebook post that a group of juvenile suspects
dressed the dummy, dubbed “Fred” by police, in clothes and placed
it in an Alpine road. Police said the suspects hid nearby to watch
the reactions of drivers. “It may have been funny to them, but
wasn't funny to female driver who happened across Fred,” the
Facebook post said. “Officers arrived and took Fred into custody.
He's now being used to prank fellow co-workers at the PD.” Police
are inviting the dummy's owners to claim him at police headquarters
and “have a chat” with officers. (https://goo.gl/9WFkTC)
