MEATBALL CRIMINALS OF THE DAY

IT'S TIME FOR THE SALUTE 2 MEATBALL CRIMINALS

On January 23rd, 31-year-old David Johnson of Maywood, Illinois was sentenced to ten days in jail after he was arrested for driving on a suspended license . . . for the 13th TIME. But just minutes after his sentencing, David walked out of the courthouse in his purple suit and full-length fur coat, got into his purple 1988 Cadillac . . . which has a placard on the dashboard that reads "Pimp Plaza" . . . and drove off. --David was immediately pulled over and arrested for driving without a license for the 14th TIME. (Chicago Sun-Times)

====================================================================
Our next Meatball Criminal for today comes from Cheboygan, Michigan, where a man got lost while hunting and called 911 for help. Police and a Coast Guard helicopter braved high winds and blowing snow to locate him. But our story doesn't have such a happy ending, at least not for our meatball. After he was rescued, it was discovered he was a convicted felon with outstanding warrants. And did we mention he was prohibited from carrying a weapon, even on a hunting trip? He's under arrest.

====================================================================
And finally, out Last Meatball Criminals for today come from New Zealand, where Regan Rhodes and Tiranara Hale were being led back to their jail cells after a court appearance when they decided to make a run for it. Deputies tried to spray them with pepper spray but they quickly recovered and ran out of the courthouse. Unfortunately, they forgot that they were handcuffed together and, in a scene right of the Three Stooges, one went on one side of a lamppost and the other went on the opposite side. Officers helped them to their feet and escorted them back to their cells.
