Police say an 8-year-old boy was driving a pickup down a Louisiana interstate while his drunken father slept in the passenger seat. The man's 4-year-old daughter was in the back seat when the truck was stopped Saturday morning in Livingston Parish, troopers said. The child's driving was so erratic that it alarmed motorists, who called authorities. The father, Billy Joe Madden, 28, of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, was booked on charges of child desertion and allowing a minor to drive. The children were turned over to Child Protective Services.
Pittsburgh police said a wanted man who allegedly attempted to carjack a plainclothes detective told officers he was working on the latest Batman movie. Police said Micah Calamosca, 21, who had been wanted on an assault charge, attempted to carjack Detective Robert DiGiacomo, who was in an unmarked car. Calamosca was taken into custody with the help of an off-duty officer from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Police said Calamosca claimed the carjacking attempt was part of filming for "The Dark Knight Rises," which began filming Friday in Pittsburgh. Calamosca was charged with felony robbery of a motor vehicle and jailed lieu of $5,000 bond.
