A police officer in Independence, Missouri, who thought he was killing an alligator on the loose actually shot a life-size concrete lawn ornament. The police department ended up apologizing to Rick Sheridan, the cement gator's owner. Sheridan heard gunfire as he was working in his garage last weekend. When he went out to see what was going on, he discovered several police officers with their guns drawn. "The officer fired two rounds and killed my concrete, ornamental alligator," Sheridan said. The police department said a man called to report his children had seen an alligator. The police department checked with state conservation officials and were told they should kill the animal if they could find it.
Police in Topeka, Kansas, said a shopper who discovered his car had been damaged by a shopping cart drove his vehicle through the doors of the store. Police said the man had been shopping at Dillons grocery store Monday and exited the store at about 9:30 p.m. to find a wind-blown shopping cart had damaged his car. According to investigators, the man apparently attempted to throw a shopping cart through a store window or glass door but was unsuccessful. He then drove his car through the doors of the store, causing "substantial damage" to the building.
