Round 1
1st up, the Department of Justice announced Friday the conviction of a man who may have taken dental hygiene a little too seriously.
Gregory Luss, 44, plead guilty to being in possession of goods stolen from an interstate shipment.
The charge, stemming from the 2023 theft of a semi truck trailer in Bledsoe Cove in Memphis, puts Luss at risk of up to 10 years in a Federal Graybar Hotel
So, what did he steal that was worth losing 10 years of his life?
Water Piks— basically a luxury water powered dental floss. Fancy, but not what I'd risk freedom for.
Acting US Attorney Michael Dunavant said in a statement, "Instead of a luxury Water Pik, Mr. Luss will now have a standard prison-issued toothbrush in the Bureau of Prisons"
Though we appreciate that Mr Luss may have just been trying to stop the spread of gum disease & gingivitis, we dont think that's how 4 out of 5 dentists recommend going about it.
Round 2
Next, you hit a car while driving drunk at 2am, where do you go to hide?
Some people might drive home, others to a friend's house or a busy parking lot
But a man in LaVergne thought he would hide in plaint sight! In the restricted grassy area behind the police department.
So what had happened was
Just before 2am Sunday morning LaVergne dispatched officers to their own back yard where a car had driven through the grass to park.
When approached, the car flashed its lights and revved the engine, clearly they hadn't seen the Renee goode video
Then the lights shut off and the man crouched down hiding in the driver's seat.
Thankfully this encounter ended peacefully and the suspect was taken for a mental evaluation.
Turns out, he allegedly intentionally hit a parked car down the road prior to coming to the Police Department.
He had a pew pew under the seat, booze and a vape.
Talk about smart decisions.
That's 2 stories down 1 to go, and idk if you noticed but we lost an hour yesterday—so while we are talking about bad decisions, should we do away with Daylight savings time?
Round 3
Hermitage Police were out catching speeders on Old Hickory Blvd last week. But as newsworthy as it is that they are finally cracking down in speeding there, that's not the part that ruffled a few people's feathers.
One creative individual decided to warn those who may not have noticed how fast they were traveling with this rudimentary homemade sign.
Now, I'm personally a fan of this.
And, generally speaking, you ARE allowed to do this
(assuming you're sign is on land you can use or you're holding a sign yourself while not obstructing anyones path)
Any department who says otherwise is probably be worried about revenue or quotas more than reducing speed. Afterall, the result is the same.
As for those issued tickets despite the warning signs—you deserved it.
In fact, I think if you pass a creative warning sign like that TELLING YOU there's a cop ahead
and you still speed—the ticket should be doubled.
