A
heated disagreement about the late rapper Tupac Shakur ultimately
resulted in an arrest and a hospital visit down in Florida. The fight
in question went down in Clearwater last week, with local outlets
reporting that it all started with a disagreement about the late icon
and frequent subject of debates on legacy. Clearwater cops received
multiple emergency calls alleging a battery in progress at
approximately 9:45 p.m. Upon arrival at the corner of Chestnut Street
and South Myrtle Ave, cops found the alleged victim—who is not
named in reports—with injuries to his face including swollen eyes
and large lumps. Though the person was conscious at the time, he was
reportedly too drunk to relay any pertinent information to responding
officers. The man was later transported to a nearby hospital and
treated for a broken nose sustained during the incident.

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
When a Male Lion Takes Over a Tribe, He Kills All the Cubs
We
may imagine lions as noble creatures, but they can be plenty brutal,
too. As Livescience explains, “When male lions take over a new
territory, they almost always kill the prides’ cubs, since they are
not biologically related and do not want to spend energy ensuring
that other lions’ genes will be passed on.” Guess they aren’t
interested in being stepfathers.

A drive-thru customer enraged by the paucity of meat on his Mexican pizza stormed a Taco Bell in South Carolina and “walked into the kitchen area and began making his own food,” police report. According to cops, the suspect entered the Taco Bell in Spartanburg Wednesday afternoon complaining that “there was not enough meat on his Mexican pizza.” A store employee told cops that she “re-made the suspect’s food.” The man was equally displeased with his second pizza and demanded a refund. When told that was not possible since a manager was not on the premises, the suspect became “enraged,” declaring that he “would show the employees how to make his food the appropriate way.” The man then “walked behind the counter into the kitchen area and began making his own food.” A Taco Bell worker noted that the suspect “did not follow proper health/safety guidelines” by not wearing “protective gloves while making his food.” Police expect to retrieve video surveillance footage recorded by Taco Bell security cameras. If apprehended, the suspect faces possible misdemeanor larceny and trespass charges. (https://bit.ly/2VKNQwf)

A
St. Paul mother and her daughter were upset about their wings. They
hadn’t been delivered with the rest of their order. So, police say
they headed to Domino’s Pizza with a handgun. By Friday morning,
59-year-old Holly Jo Robinson and her daughter 20-year-old Lakia
Michaelene Robinson were booked into Ramsey County jail on suspicion
of aggravated robbery and making terroristic threats. Police were
called to the Domino’s just before 9:00 p.m. Thursday on a report
of a customer pointing a handgun at staff. When police arrived, they
were told that the Robinsons — who had already left — were upset
that their wings hadn’t been delivered with their pizza to their
home. An argument had ensued. It was fairly easy to find the
Robinsons’ home, since the order had recently been delivered there.
Police drove to the address, and — while waiting for a supervisor
to arrive on scene — Holly Robinson came out of the home and began
talking to officers. A loaded 9mm handgun was found in her car and
she remained in jail Friday afternoon. (https://bit.ly/2ESWpy5)
