An alleged meth trafficker was busted by Florida cops — all thanks to his lost wallet. Sean Michael Edwards, of Winter Haven, got on the radar of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office on September 18th when a good Samaritan turned in the 36-year-old’s missing billfold, complete with his ID and $565 inside. The deputies “did some digging” and learned that Edwards had a felony meth trafficking warrant out for his arrest. That’s when they hatched a plan to bust the alleged drug dealer by getting him to come pick up his cash three days later. Cops found $3,132 in cash and a plastic bag with more than two ounces of a white crystalline substance that later tested positive for meth during a search of Edwards and his white motorcycle. He was charged with multiple felony drug counts — including trafficking methamphetamine. (https://bit.ly/3jfClJg)

A study found that the filthiest place on an airplane isn’t the bathroom but your fold down tray table. The average computer keyboard is five times as filthy as a toilet seat. Flip-flops play host to more than 18,000 bacteria. And now we’ve learned that billions of microbes are lurking in your shower. Researchers (University of Colorado-Boulder) looked at 45 showerheads from across the U.S. and found that each showerhead was home to an average of several billion microbes per square centimeter. About half of the particles that come out of a showerhead are sufficiently small to penetrate the deep airways, meaning that each supposedly cleansing breath we take while showering could be full of foreign microbes. If you’re otherwise healthy, chances are that a grody showerhead won’t be your downfall. In fact, very few people have probably ever died of — or gotten sick from — showerhead microbes. As the report notes, we move through a “sea of microbial life” in our daily lives, so most of us don’t need to give up showering just yet.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

We’ve heard of calling in sick, but faking your own kidnapping? Really? That’s what one kid in Ohio did so she wouldn’t have to go to school. The Pickaway Country teenager called police to report that someone had tried to abduct her while she was waiting for a school bus. She even gave the cops a description of the suspect. Then, in an interview with the police and her mother, the girl recanted; prosecutors are considering charges. Sheriff Robert Radcliff told the affiliate that his office was worried what other parents might do to defend their kids. “People were going to the bus stop with guns trying to protect their children,” Radcliff told the affiliate. “They were looking for a black vehicle — someone that matched that description — and you know unfortunately the wrong person could’ve come along and been injured over something like this.” (https://bit.ly/3icT3Yx)

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com

A Floridian burglary suspect hit a cop in the face with a Bible, an attack that led to his tasing and arrest on multiple criminal charges. 39-year-old Robert Otis Hoskins, the alleged Bible thumper, was collared Tuesday afternoon following a confrontation at a residence. Charged with burglary, larceny, resisting, and battery on a law enforcement officer, Hoskins is being held in the Marion County jail in lieu of $13,000 bond. Police responding to a 911 call about a burglary encountered Hoskins--who was only wearing a pair of gray briefs--outside his residence, next door to the burglarized property. As a deputy sought to question Hoskins, he began shouting at the cop as he approached with a book in his right hand. Hoskins then wound up and threw the Good Book at the officer, who was struck in the face and jaw by the volume. (https://bit.ly/343C5GY)
