Clever drug traffickers used a propane tanker truck entering
El Paso
from Mexico. They rigged it so propane gas would be released from
all of its valves while the truck concealed 6,240 pounds of
marijuana. They were clever, but not bright. They misspelled the
name of the gas company on the side of the truck. [Oops!!]

Oklahoma City:
Dennis Newton was on trial for the armed robbery of a convenience
store in a district court this week when he fired his lawyer.
Assistant district attorney Larry Jones said Newton, 47, was
doing a
fair job of defending himself until the store manager testified
that
Newton was the robber. Newton jumped up, accused the woman of
lying
and then said, "I should of blown your [expletive] head
off." The
defendant paused, then quickly added, "...if I'd been the
one that was
there." The jury took 20 minutes to convict Newton and
recommended a
30 year sentence.

R.C. Gaitlin, 21, walked up to two patrol officers who were
showing
their squad car computer equipment to children in a Detroit
neighborhood. When he asked how the system worked, the officers
asked him for a piece of identification. Gaitlin gave them his
driver's license. They entered it into the computer, and moments
later they arrested Gaitlin because information on the screen
showed
Gaitlin was wanted for a two year old armed robbery in St. Louis,
Missouri.
