Police lay charges after beer can tossed from car
A Mississippi man has been charged with having open liquor in his vehicle after a can of beer was tossed out of his vehicle...and seemingly into the lap of two police officers manning a speed trap on Highway 7 Wednesday afternoon. The cops were using a radar gun to monitor traffic on the highway at about 2:15 p.m. when they saw a can thrown from an eastbound car as it passed them. The open container of beer hit the road directly in front of the two officers. The car was pulled over a short distance away.

Man impersonating friend arrested on friend's warrant
PORTSMOUTH, NH - A New Castle man showed police his friend’s driver’s license to avoid arrest - but was arrested anyway when police learned the friend was wanted on a warrant!
Police allege Jared Maddock was taken into custody on his friend’s warrant, but when his true identity was revealed, it showed Maddock was also wanted on a warrant. While Maddock was being booked for that charge, the officer found him in possession of a knife, marijuana and three false driver’s licenses, according to court records.
