While police were conducting “Buckle Up” – a special grant program to target drivers not using seat belts late Friday night, they stopped a vehicle they said was driving at an extremely high rate of speed and switching lanes without using turn signals.

During the traffic stop, police say they observed a glass bowl used for smoking marijuana on the front seat in plain view. Police also found 15 individually packaged baggies of marijuana and 13 ecstasy pills during a search of the vehicle.

Neaus was charged with possession with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said. He was also cited with careless driving and failure to wear a seatbelt.

Seems as if the police did not have any compassion to the fact that poor Neaus had been robbed of some illegal narcotics. Maybe he should have used the “late to church” excuse instead.

Such is the case for two Domino’s workers who go by the names Michael and Kristy. They video taped themselves passing gas on salami, stuffing cheese up their nostrils and then using the foul fixins’ in the fast food.

The silly-yet-stomach-turning clips — which also showed the workers sneezing and blowing their noses on meals they were handling — were filmed at a Conover, N.C., Domino’s and then posted on YouTube. The pizza delivery giant said it was stunned when the footage surfaced. The pair were promptly terminated.

That’s not all. The Domino’s store where this occurred has filed a criminal complaint against the ex-employees and police issuing a felony warrant for their arrest, according to the BBC. The company also said it plans to file a civil lawsuit against the pranksters.

So, Michael and Kristy, hope you enjoyed your 15 minutes of fame. Now your lives are pretty much over. Dipnoids!

Here are the video clips in question although I don’t know how long they will stay on YouTube before they are removed.

You can also see a video news report as covered by WCNC.com.

Waterville police say the suspects, who range in ages from 14 to 20, broke into in a former Boys and Girls Club through a window. Police seized the YouTube video showing the group making and throwing the devices, which exploded and caused flames as high as 20 feet.

Police say the video, which has since been taken off the video-sharing Web site (sorry – no views) , showed the faces of the suspects as well as text naming those pictured. Each is charged with arson and burglary.

Hopefully the fact that the video was posted on YouTube allowed these dipnoids to enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame before they go off to prison.

Original story here.

According to court documents, 50 year-old Brian Lewis on March 22, 2008 sank his own yacht named “the Jubilee” in the Puget Sound Bay, then rowed a borrowed dinghy back to shore. Three days later, Lewis filled an insurance claim with USAA Insurance reporting the Jubilee sank accidentally “due to unknown causes.”

What Mr. Lewis most likely did not expect was when the Washington State Department of Natural Resources decided to salvage the vessel due to environmental concerns at a cost to the state of $2,866. What they discovered was a hole was drilled into the bottom of the yacht and the two main engine sea strainers appeared to have been broken with a hammer.

“The vessel appeared to have been deliberately sunk,” authorities said in their probable cause affidavit.

Confronted by investigators, Mr. Lewis admitted he intentionally sunk his vessel, saying the financial strain “caused him extreme anxiety and frustration.” In an obvious attempt to justify his actions, Mr. Lewis told investigators “the engine trouble he experienced caused him to lose his temper. In his rage, he smashed the sea strainers with a hammer and drilled the hole to sink the vessel.”

Prior to its sinking, the Jubilee had been listed for sale with Mahina Yachts for $28,500.

Now Lewis is out a yacht, will very likely see no insurance money and may even face criminal charges. I’m sure he feels like a real dipnoid.

While the second item is typically not something you’d be concerned about, it became an issue for one man whose 11 month old accidentally dialed 911.

Canadian Mounties recently received a 911 call from a White Rock, B.C. residence but whoever was on the other end of the line hung up. As typical, they decided to investigate and when they arrived at the residence, they entered the home after numerous knocks on the door went unanswered.

“The gentleman was quite surprised,” said White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Canning.

She said the 29-year-old male, startled by the sudden sight of police, insisted he hadn’t made the call. When it was suggested a child might have dialled, the father objected and said his son was far too young. That’s when police spotted the baby boy, phone in hand.

“We saw him playing with the cordless phone and just pressing all the buttons, so evidently he had called 9-1-1,” Canning said.

With that mystery of the phone call solved, officers began inspecting the residence and soon discovered a 500-plant marijuana grow operation. The father was immediately arrested and the boy was removed from the home by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, though he was later released into his mother’s custody.

The mother does not live in the residence and Canning says she had no idea what was going on at the home.

The next time the father decides to grow marijuana in his home and a baby is around, he should probably give the infant something else to play with.

Store workers were about to allow him to trade the lobster, which he paid $10.99 for, in exchange for a bag of king crab legs when they discovered the lobster was all shell. Tessier had eaten it and put the shell parts back together, deputies said.

When confronted, Tessier ran from the store with the bag of crab legs in hand, they said. Deputies said they caught up with him at his home only to discover that he had already eaten the crab legs.

Mr. Tessier was charged with petit larceny and given an appearance ticket to return to court at a later date.

The thief and his accomplice got away with Heuss’ car, cell phone and some cash.
Heuss filed a police report and then met his friends to drown his sorrows. One of his friends came up with an idea to contact the thieves.

“He said ‘I’m going to text these guys, I’m going to blow some smoke their way,’” Heuss said. “He said. ‘I’m going to tell them I’ve got a bunch of hot chicks, as if I’m texting you, and that we’ve got some drugs, too.’”

The carjackers took the bait.

“Very early in the morning they gave him the address where they were,” Heuss said. “They were expecting this hot chick to arrive with drugs, and Columbus police officers arrived instead.”

Three men were caught red-handed in the stolen vehicle. Heuss says he expected to get his vehicle out of the impound lot on Friday.

The suspects received invitations to take part in a survey to help retailers figure out the needs of holiday shoppers. Included was a “scratch off” card redeemable for at least $500 if they brought it along to the hotel where the survey would be conducted.

Those who showed up were taken into custody.

One of the fugitives arrived with marijuana in his pocket. Possession of cannabis was added to his list of charges.

Wagar pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in Kandiyohi County District Court to misdemeanor assault and other charges. He was released on personal recognizance.

According to police, Wagar was on his property Septtember 16 when he used night vision goggles to see 15-20teens running toward his place. He told them to leave, swore at them and when that didn’t work, he sprayed them with the fox urine. He also allegedly struggled with one of the teens.

So who is the stupid dipnoid here? Certainly not the man who had the genius idea of squirting the teens with fox urine. Oh I guess he could have used skunk urine instead. How stupid of him.

Unfortunately for one New Zealand man, he broke both those rules.

The alleged thief was caught red-handed on camera stealing expensive equipment from a billboard company that has now plastered his image around Aukland, New Zealand’s largest city, seeking his capture.

The unidentified thief was photographed by a suspicious onlooker as he uncoupled 15 electrical transformers used to boost the lighting on a billboard in Auckland. The person taking the photo personally knew the pillaged sign belonged to Mark Venter, who runs OTW Advertising, one of New Zealand’s oldest billboard companies.

So when the photographer offered pictures of the thief in action, Venter decided to mount the images on four city billboards with the inscription: ‘Who is this Thief? Reward $500.’

With no further ado, here is our stupid criminal.
