After
causing a disturbance at the drive-thru window, a McDonald’s
customer broke the window and crawled through the opening into the
restaurant, where he attacked a female manager. Investigators allege
that 33-year-old My-chael Jordan was asked to leave the premises of
the Pinellas Park eatery around 4:00 a.m. Sunday following a flap at
the 24-hour drive-thru. But instead of departing McDonald’s,
Jordan, who lives two miles from the restaurant, “broke the
drive-thru window, crawled in through the window and grabbed and
pushed” the 53-year-old employee. When cops subsequently confronted
Jordan, he allegedly fought with three officers and was “tased
multiple times with no effect.” “All three officers suffered
scrapes and cuts” during the struggle with Jordan, who allegedly
spit on the Pinellas Park Police Department cops. Police noted that
Jordan showed an “indication of drug influence.” Jordan was
arrested and charged with four felonies: burglary with assault or
battery and three counts of resisting police with violence. He is
locked up in lieu of $155,000 bond. (https://bit.ly/3idQcCg)

The biographer, Angela Levin, suggested the decision was a bad idea because the private nickname was bestowed to Elizabeth by her late husband, Prince Philip. (https://pge.sx/2T6CUNi)

The
Queen has some hidden hideaways. Since the early 13th century, the
city of London has officially paid rent to the Crown for two small
pieces of property. Fortunately for the city, the price has stayed
the same for more than 800 years: one knife, one ax, six horseshoes,
and 61 nails, presented every autumn in the Ceremony of Quit Rents.
Although one of these properties is located in the Moors in
Shropshire and the other is near the Royal Courts of Justice in the
city itself, no one knows the exact location of the Queen's land.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A
mayoral hopeful in Albuquerque was punched at a campaign event by a
man who was also accused of flying a drone adorned with a dildo
around the candidate while he was on stage. It’s the second time
the “Dongcopter” — complete with its own Twitter account —
has harassed a New Mexico politician in recent days. Bernalillo
County Sheriff Manuel Gonzales III, who was not injured, brushed off
the brazen Tuesday night stunt as the work of “political
operatives.” The incident, which was partially captured on video,
happened as about seventy people gathered to hear the Democrat speak
at the Revel Entertainment Center. The venue’s owner confiscated a
drone attached to a sex toy that was flying over the stage while the
candidate spoke, and 20-year-old Kaelan Ashby Dreyer tried to get it
back. A scuffle ensued and Dreyer threw a punch at the sheriff’s
arm while reportedly yelling “he’s a tyrant.” The suspect was
arrested on charges of petty misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor
resisting, evading or obstructing an officer.

A
Texas man has been fired from his job as the chief of technology and
innovation for a local school district after he was caught selling
district-owned iPads. According to News 4 San Antonio, the official
was caught when a local family answered a Facebook Marketplace ad and
purchased multiple iPads from him in a transaction that entailed
meeting him in a parking lot. Once the family's mother realized the
iPads were "a type marketed to schools," she searched the
man's name and discovered he worked for the school district. She
notified the TV station, which discovered a video of a school board
meeting in which the same man had recommended that the district spend
$483,000 on iPads and other equipment. (https://bit.ly/3uTZJkE)
