Looking Glass: I know how this must look, officer

Police showed up at an apartment in Iowa City, Iowa, at 3 a.m. in response to a noise complaint, and, when handcuffing one of the two men who had been “face to face yelling at each other,” a very large bag of marijuana fell out from under his shirt. He claimed it wasn’t his.

DON’T GIVE ME THAT LOOK; I KNOW IT WAS YOU: A woman’s two cows left their paddock, which had been damaged in a storm, and walked right into her home on the island of Tasmania while she was dropping her daughters off at playgroup. The animals caused considerable damage and left piles of manure all over the living room carpet. The woman said they were still in the living room, and looked sheepishly at her when she returned.

I WAS TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING HERE, YOUR HONOR: A man who was scheduled to appear in court in St. Louis woke up in Kansas City and had no way to get to court, so he stole a car, led police on a multi-state chase, hit two vehicles in Wentzville, Mo., and was taken into custody in Troy, Illinois.

WELL, AT LEAST HE CAN’T GET ME IN HERE: A man who thought that a guy with a gun was chasing him because he was under the influence of meth and booze broke into a building in Redwood City, Calif., to escape. It turned out to be the Maple Street Correctional Center, where he was immediately arrested.

IT SEEMS TO BE RIDING A LITTLE ROUGH: Even though his car was missing its front right tire, a man was seen nonchalantly driving the vehicle down the center lane of the M-13 motorway, a busy highway in Majorca, Spain, as sparks flew from the friction caused by the metal rim hitting the asphalt.

DID YOU CHASE ME HERE, OFFICER!? A female Dutch police officer, vacationing in Spain, spotted a fugitive from justice in a cafe in the village of Torremolinos, who she knew was wanted back in the Netherlands as he fled the country after he was charged with stabbing a homeless man. After calling home to make sure he was still on the wanted list, she arrested him.

A NATURAL MISTAKE, MA’AM: A woman called animal rescue workers to her home in Singapore because she thought she heard a cobra hissing in her bedroom. They sped to the scene and discovered that it was her electric toothbrush.

QUIET, MEN, WE DON’T WANT TO WAKE HIM … KA-BLAM! KA-BLAM! Four armed masked men, who kicked in the front door of a residence in Phoenix at 4 a.m., were greeted by a hail of gunfire from the guy inside. Footage from a security camera showed the four fleeing in terror. They ran outside to a getaway car, and two of them got in, and the other two just ran.

OH, WAS I SUPPOSED TO BRING IT BACK? A woman took a 2018 Honda Accord out for a test drive from a car dealership in Clearwater, Fla., and never returned. Authorities recovered the vehicle a few days later, and arrested her.
