This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays, we bring you an awesome ambulance heist. Then, the best use of a rubber chicken in commission of a crime that I’ve ever seen. And finally, we look at a man with a great name, committing what may be the weirdest stabbing that has made it to this blog. After 92 weeks, that’s a big achievement.
Curious to learn more? Follow the jump and read on about this week’s weirdest and wackiest legal cases from around the globe.
Drunk Driving Emergency
While there is case law that exists that has found that impaired driving can be justified in a life-or-death situation, I doubt this hilarious case qualifies.
Apparently, in England, while paramedics were in the rear of an ambulance treating a patient, a passing drunk person smashed the window and got into the driver’s seat. They then began to drive off with the ambulance, all the while with paramedics and patient in the back.
After finally being arrested and stopped, the foolish driver refused a breath test. No word on whether the patient was successfully treated, or whether the destination was a hospital.
Put Your Hands and Chicken Fingers Up
Robberies are always scary for those involved. However, I can’t help but wonder if the victims of this Tim Horton’s robbery did not have to suppress a little bit of a laugh during the incident.
According to police and security camera footage, a pretend patron at an Alberta Tim Horton’s made off with a donation box. The modus operandi? He took a rubber chicken, and wrapped it over top of the donation box, before sneaking out of the store. Sad to say for him, though thankfully for this series, there is a very clear photograph of the crime as it happens.
Here’s hoping that points for creativity are given to him at his sentencing. He’s going to need them.
Strange Stabbing
Reports of stabbings involving needles and syringes are not that uncommon, though they are unusual methods given how little harm is inflicted. But this particular needle stabbing has an unusual element that makes it worthy of a feature on this series.
In Maryland, a man whose name is I shit you not, Thomas Stemen was arrested for stabbing women with needles filled with semen. Stemen’s semen needles were used to penetrate a woman who was minding her own business in a grocery store. Upon stabbing her, Stemen said, “Feels like a beesting doesn’t it?”
Look, Stemen, if you’re trying to make a dick joke, you’re going about it all wrong.
