to try to mask the smell of the marijuana. According to the news

A
man was arrested after police say he used a scooter to try and break
into a bank in Nashville. According to an affidavit from Metro
Nashville Police, officers were called to the Bank of America Plaza
on Union Street for a burglary call. Witnesses reported seeing the
suspect, identified as Curtis Causey, swinging a Bird scooter at the
door. Officers arrived in time to see him trying to run from the
scene and managed to take him into custody. A witness later
identified him as the suspect. As he was being booked, police said he
claimed he would “run from the police every time. I’m not going
to make it easy for you to arrest me.” He was charged with criminal
impersonation, vandalism and evading arrest. The incident caused
$2,000 worth of damage to the door and some patio furniture. The
scooter was destroyed. (https://goo.gl/EGtQrp)
Cops
say that a Florida Man upset that his baked potato was undercooked
allegedly stabbed a woman in the head with a fork in a domestic spud
rage incident. 36-year-old Kenneth Crumpton was busted today on a
felony aggravated battery with a weapon charge in connection with the
12:30 a.m. attack inside a Jacksonville-area residence. Crumpton is
being held in the Nassau County jail in lieu of $25,000 bond.
Investigators charge that Crumpton, displeased with the preparation
of his potato, repeatedly stabbed the victim in the head with a fork.
Police noted that blood was visible on the woman’s head, and that
she had suffered multiple stab wounds. During questioning, Crumpton
told cops that he did not stab the woman. Instead, he claimed to have
thrown the fork, which “glanced off her head.” The woman was not
seriously injured and declined a police offer of medical assistance.
