What the Hell Theater - 8/11

An Iowa woman woke up to find a drunken teenager in her bed. Carla Kraninger initially thought it was her son. But she quickly realized it was not and called police. She and her son tried to wake up the trespasser, but the teen was too intoxicated to respond. The high school student told police he had a beer with some friends earlier and they dropped him off at what he believed to be his mother's house. The teen, who had a blood-alcohol content of 0.115 at the time.




Police say a home repairman working in Illinois, stole a diamond ring, then swallowed it to keep the owner from getting it back. Wilfredo Gonzalez was doing remodeling work in the alleged victim's home last Friday when he asked to use the bathroom. When he finished, the homeowner noticed her diamond ring was missing and told her husband. Gonzalez denied the theft and began struggling with the husband. During the struggle, Gonzalez allegedly took the ring from his pocket and swallowed it. Police took Gonzalez to a nearby hospital, where the ring showed up in an X-ray of his stomach. The ring was recovered and had to be washed, several times. 



A Long Island school bus driver said he was fired for giving a ride to a pair of police officers whose car had flooded during a hailstorm. George Daw was driving a mini-bus carrying a teenage passenger on August 1st as golf ball-size hail and torrential rain came down in New Hyde Park. He encountered a stalled unmarked police cruiser on Hillside Avenue that was carrying the detectives and was beginning to fill with water. They told Daw, "You've got to help us. You've got to get us to the third precinct. We're police officers." Daw moved the teen to the back of his vehicle and let the detectives on board. "I felt this was something anyone would do under the circumstances," Daw said. "I felt they were in danger." Educational Bus Transport of Copiague terminated Daw, saying he violated policy prohibiting drivers from picking up unscheduled passengers.
