Go figure, pulling a GUN on someone because you were mad at how they were driving didn't turn out well.

A 31-year-old guy named Glenn Grays was driving in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday when he started ROAD RAGING and cut off another car.  And he was so mad that he even pointed his GUN out the window at that car.

But here's what he didn't realize:  The car was full of UNDERCOVER COPS.

So they pulled Glenn over and arrested him.

Glenn is a mailman and he was wearing his USPS uniform when he was arrested.  He's been charged with possession of a firearm and menacing.

Here's yet another crime foiled by the finger lickin' good properties of fried chicken.

The cops in Fort Pierce, Florida were trying to pull over a 26-year-old guy earlier this month after they saw him run a red light . . . and they noticed him throw a bag out of the window.

When he finally stopped, they asked him what was in the bag.  And he said it was a bunch of bones from the FRIED CHICKEN he was eating.

But the cops were suspicious . . . because they noticed he didn't have any GREASE on his fingers.

So they went searching for the bag, and found it was actually full of weed, not chicken bones. 

The guy was arrested on multiple charges.

If I were a cop, I would've been so impressed by this guy's athleticism I probably would've just let him go.  Which, among other reasons, is why I'd be a TERRIBLE cop.

A 56-year-old guy named Steven Anderson was running from the cops in Silver Spring, Maryland earlier this month after they caught him breaking into a house. 

And as he ran from them, he managed to scale and jump a 12-foot wall.  And then, when he found cops on the other side of the wall, he scaled the wall again and jumped back to the other side.  Again, he's 56.

Unfortunately for Steven, all of his gymnastics work was a waste . . . because the cops managed to grab him on his second dismount.

He's been charged with burglary and assault.

Apparently this guy figured his best chance of getting away from the cops was to find the NASTIEST place possible to hide?

The cops in Elizabeth City, North Carolina were looking for a 36-year-old car thief named Johnathan Foskey on Thursday.  And his master plan was to hide from them . . . inside a DUMPSTER.

Someone called the cops to tell them they'd seen him in the dumpster.  But by the time cops got there, Johnathan had changed his hiding spot.  He'd moved on to a PORT-A-POTTY.  (In terms of disgusting hiding spots, was that an upgrade . . . or a downgrade?  Discuss.)

The cops found him in there too, and caught him after a brief chase.

He was hit with several charges.

Here's what happens when you OVERTHINK your crimes.

There's a 35-year-old guy named Luke Dell from Beavercreek, Ohio.  And on Tuesday, he had plans to rob a bank in Pennsylvania.  Big plans.  Complicated plans.  Here's the breakdown . . .

1.  He was going to steal a license plate from another car and put it on his.

2.  Put on a realistic old man mask.

3.  Go to a Bob Evans restaurant to give them a fake tip that there was an active shooter and bomb threat at two nearby schools.

4.  Wait until the cops were distracted by those threats, then rob the bank.

BUT . . . when he went to the restaurant to tell them about the threats, the staff didn't just call the cops.  They also told them about Luke and gave a description of his car.

So the cops pulled him over on the WAY to the bank robbery.  And he was arrested on several charges, including terroristic threats, threat to use weapons of mass destruction, and theft of a license plate.  But hey, not bank robbery.

 I'm not sure who this guy is in more trouble with:  U.S. Customs and Border Patrol . . . or his wife.

There's a 49-year-old guy named Rahim Javorovac who's originally from Macedonia, but he's been a U.S. citizen since 2006, living with his wife in Michigan. 

Well . . . last month, he was driving back to Michigan from Canada with a woman in his passenger seat.  And when he handed the Border Patrol officer their U.S. passports, the officer thought it REALLY didn't look like the woman.

And it took awhile, but they finally figured out what was going on:  Rahim was using his WIFE'S passport to try to sneak his MISTRESS from Macedonia into the U.S.

Rahim admitted he'd taken his wife's passport without her knowledge and that he'd had a fling with the woman in the car "20 or 30 years ago."  (Her name is Lenche Krcoska.)  Then they made contact when she visited Canada, and came up with the plan.

They were both arrested and hit with federal charges for improperly using a U.S. passport issued to another person.  That charge has a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

So what was the first indication this guy was using counterfeit money?

A woman named Alexis Brown from Scranton, Pennsylvania made plans last week to sell her iPhone 6S to someone for $100.  And when she met the guy, he handed her a roll of bills.

The roll was made up of two $1 bills . . . a $10 bill . . . and a fake $1 MILLION bill.

There's no such thing as a REAL $1 million bill, so I guess saying "fake $1 million bill" is kind of redundant.

Anyway, when she confronted him about the fake bill, he PUNCHED her and took off running.

The cops are trying to track him down.

Somewhere in the afterlife, TUPAC is hearing about this story and angrily loading his ghost glock and ready to go "Hit 'Em Up" on this dude.

The cops in Johnson City, Tennessee arrested a guy on Saturday on a probation violation warrant.  That guy's name?  Tupac Shakur.

It's important to note two things.  One, this is NOT the real Tupac . . . this is a 40-year-old white guy.  And two, Tupac isn't his given name, it's Timothy Oliver.  He just exclusively goes by Tupac Shakur.

It's not clear if he legally changed his name to Tupac, but the news outlets are identifying him with that name, so it seems like more than just a nickname or alias.

Anyway, when the cops were arresting him, he tried to pull a knife on them, so they tackled him.  And they found a bunch of meth on him as well.

He's facing several charges.

This woman is facing a LOT of jail time because she didn't want to walk six blocks.

There's a 37-year-old woman named Lynette Stewart in Lincoln, California, just outside of Sacramento.  And on Thursday night, she filled up a gas can at a Chevron station, then flagged down a cop who was passing by.

She told him she needed to get back to her car, which was out of gas, so he gave her a ride to it . . . about six blocks away.

And when they got there, he ran the plates on the car . . . and found out it was STOLEN the day before.

So he arrested Lynette for vehicle theft.  And it turned out she had meth on her too, so she was also charged with drug possession.

This guy should probably consider investing in turtlenecks.

There's a 36-year-old guy named Matthew Bushman from Mansfield, Illinois.  And last Wednesday, the cops put out a warrant for his arrest in a forgery case.

On Friday, some officers spotted him and asked him if he was Matthew.  And he said no, and gave them a fake name.

There was just one problem.  He has his name TATTOOED on his NECK.

It says "Matty B." on his throat, and the cops saw it . . . so that really blew up his plan.  He was arrested.

 If you're going to taunt the cops with a game of hide-and-seek, the least you could do is be decent at hide-and-seek.

There's a 42-year-old guy named Jason San Miguel in Wharton, Texas.  He was wanted on burglary charges, and last Friday, a cop called him to tell him to turn himself in.

And Jason responded by telling the cop there was, quote, "NO WAY" they would ever find him.

But it only took the cops a few hours to prove him wrong, when they spotted his car in his driveway and found Jason hiding in his own attic.

He's facing between five and 10 years in prison for felony burglary.

If this guy is trying to live up to his name, he's doing a heck of a job.

Cops in Palm Bay, Florida responded to a car crash last Friday.  And one of the drivers was a 43-year-old drunk guy named SAMUEL L. JACKSON . . . who wouldn't stop SWEARING at them.

He tried to claim he was totally sober.  But he smelled like booze, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Then he got belligerent . . . unleashed a string of profanities when they tried to arrest him . . . and wouldn't let them do a breathalyzer test.

He kept swearing and threatened to SHOOT one of the cops while they were taking him to a hospital.

He's facing charges for drunk driving and threatening a public servant.

It's amazing this guy WASN'T arrested.

A guy in Pasco County, Florida called 911 repeatedly on Saturday night to report that his roommate had stolen something from him . . . $20 worth of his weed.

A cop tweeted about the calls and said he was going to call the guy back to tell him to stop reporting that to 911.  But as far as we know, he didn't arrest the guy or the guy's roommate.

This is a real life-imitates-art, post-postmodern way to get drunk.

A 20-year-old guy named Daniel Burleson was at a bar in Iowa City, Iowa on Friday when the cops did a sweep through to check IDs.

And when Daniel gave them his real ID that showed he was 20, they spotted his fake ID in his wallet.  And it wasn't just any fake ID . . . it was a Hawaii driver's license with the name McLovin.  With a picture of McLovin on it.

If you don't know that reference, it's from the movie "Superbad", where one of the characters gets a fake Hawaii driver's license that says his name is "McLovin."

Daniel said he ordered it off Amazon.

He was charged with possession of a fake ID, public intoxication, minor in possession of alcohol, and being in a bar while underage.

A guy named Scott Tanner was driving in the carpool lane on the freeway in Seattle on Wednesday when, suddenly, a guy in a Jeep sped up behind him and started tailgating him and honking.

Scott figured it was just someone, quote, "road raging" . . . so he refused to pull over and let the guy pass.  Instead, he slowed down a little bit just to frustrate the guy . . . who wound up pulling off the freeway at the next stop.

Well, here's what Scott didn't realize.

The guy in the Jeep was a 24-year-old named Arik Knapik, and he was actually in a high-speed POLICE CHASE at the time.  The cops had been chasing him after he assaulted his girlfriend.

And because Scott wouldn't move over, it slowed Arik down, which allowed about 20 cop cars to catch up.  And they were able to catch Arik shortly after that.

He's facing several charges.

This guy had the best gig in the world for a while.  Too bad he was probably committing fraud . . .

47-year-old Ronald Berry used to work as a subway cleaner for the MTA in New York, until he got fired a few years ago.

But apparently no one told payroll.  So for four years, he just kept showing up on payday to collect his paychecks.

And in that time they've paid him roughly $250,000.  Then he went last Thursday to get his check, and cops arrested him.

Ronald says he didn't think he was doing anything wrong.  He claims he went on sick leave for high blood pressure and asthma.  And he thought the paychecks were legit.

His pay stubs listed his hours, which he knew he didn't work.  But he claims no one ever told him he was fired.  And it's the MTA's fault, not his.

They arrested him for trespassing when he showed up to get his check.  It's not clear if he's also facing fraud charges.

You know how your phone starts making a really loud alarm noise when you get an Amber Alert?  Here's how you SHOULDN'T handle that.

A 70-year-old guy in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada was trying to nap on Tuesday afternoon when his phone woke him up with an Amber Alert about five missing kids.  And he was so upset about being woken up . . . he called 911 to complain.

He was arrested for criminal mischief.  And fortunately, the kids were found safe . . . and the cops say the Amber Alert was a big part of finding them.

This is a heck of a consolation prize for your wife cheating on you, leaving you, and leaving your life in ruins. 

A guy named Kevin Howard from North Carolina had been married to his wife for 12 years when he found out she'd been cheating on him with a coworker.  And she wound up leaving Kevin for that guy.

Well . . . North Carolina is one of a handful of states that have something called "alienation of affections" laws.  Those let you sue someone for, quote, "purposefully interfering with the marital relationship."

Kevin blamed his wife's coworker for seducing her, stealing her away, and destroying the marriage . . . so he sued the guy for alienation of affections.

And . . . he just won a $750,000 JUDGMENT.

He says it's not about the money, quote, "I believe in the sanctity of marriage" . . . but, you know, I don't foresee him giving the money back anytime soon.

This woman lasted longer on this planet than most people ever will.  But she still bounced too early for at least one corporation.

A woman named Isabel Albright from San Lorenzo, California died in December at age 102.

And when her family was recently going through her final mail, they found a bill from DirecTV . . . charging her a, quote, "early termination fee."

That's right:  Even though she died at AGE 102, they still charged her family $160 to get out of the two-year contract she'd started so her nurse would have something to watch.

DirecTV kept saying the family had to pay up . . . until Isabel's family went to the ABC station in San Francisco to tell them what happened.

THEN DirecTV agreed to waive the fee, saying, quote, "We have apologized to the family and resolved this."

When 24-year-old Carson King from Altoona, Iowa held up a sign on ESPN asking for beer money, there's just NO WAY he could've expected all this.

If you haven't been following this story, Carson held up a sign on ESPN's "College GameDay" last month asking people to Venmo him money because, quote, "Busch Light Supply Needs Replenished."

Well . . . he wound up getting so much money he decided to donate it to charity.  And Busch Light decided to join in and match the donations.

At least they did until a newspaper reporter found RACIST TWEETS that Carson posted when he was 16.  Busch Light cut ties and Carson apologized.

THEN it turned out the newspaper reporter had ALSO posted racist tweets when HE was younger, so he was fired.

And now . . . THIS.  Two brothers in North Liberty, Iowa got into an argument on Friday night over whether Busch Light was right to back out.  And 21-year-old Jordan Lewis wound up punching his brother . . . and getting arrested for domestic abuse.

By the way, the final donation total is $2.96 million.  Hopefully that will be the final word on this saga.

Have you ever stayed on the phone with a scammer, just to waste their time?  Well, this is even better . . .

A 22-year-old college kid in Ireland says he figured out a way to get scammers to give HIM money.  And he's pulled it off three separate times.

Earlier this month, he got an email from someone claiming to be a "big business banker," who was looking for an investment of about $1,200.  So here's what he did . . .

First, he acted VERY interested . . . said he wanted to invest MORE than that . . . and asked if he could send them $60,000.

Second, he emailed them a fake PayPal invoice that made it LOOK like he tried to transfer them the money.

Then when the scammer didn't receive the funds, he claimed his bank put a hold on the transfer, because they thought it was a scam.  And he told the scammer THEY needed to transfer a small amount of money to him first, so the bank would know it was legit.

They ended up sending him about $30.  Then he donated their money to a cancer charity, and sent them an invoice letting them know THEY'D been scammed. 

(The one question we have is, could this technically be illegal?  And could the scammer press charges if they wanted to?)
