Birdsong is at again. Here are some weird criminal law stories from overseas. It appears that the United States does not have the market on weird criminal stories and stupid criminals. Enjoy.
Australia: A man wearing a black leather mask broke into a woman’s house in Australia and beat her on the head with a sex toy. The woman managed to get away from the man with just minor facial bruises.
What a weirdo….at least it wasn’t rape.
Poland: A crook on the lam from police tried to hide from police by rolling up in a giant rug and propping himself against a balcony as cops searched his apartment. He was nabbed when one cop noticed the carpet was trembling. Miroslaw Babrowski faces 12 years in jail for armed robbery.
Go ahead…say it. He lied like a rug! Har, har, har…..

Again, Birdsong wonders how did these people get so stupid? Read and wonder. These are true stories.
England: A foul Englishman has been charged with animal cruelty for forcing a chicken to drink whisky and then blowing pot smoke in its face. The hen’s owner called police and a very foul Gary Maxwell, 21, was arrested. A judge called the episode a “horrible crime.”

Birdsong just cannot stay away from those weird criminal law stories. They are all over the wire services and in the papers. And, they are all true. Enjoy.
England: A British woman says a new bra saved her life after a teen mugger tried to stab her in the chest – and the blade got caught on the underwire. It wasn’t until she handed her clothes over to the cops that Vicky Parsons realized the underwire on the bra had taken the brunt of the blow.
Wow, that what we call a wonder bra!
Brazil: A Brazilian woman riding in a hearse with a coffin carrying her husband was killed when the vehicle was rear-ended by a speeder, propelling the coffin into her.

You want weird criminal law stories? Birdsong’s got ‘em. Read them and chuckle.
Akron, OH: There appear to be blue states and then there are booze states. An election night party in Akron turned ugly after the promoters offered a free drink for every state Barack Obama won. Obama nabbed 28 states plus Washington, D.C. The staggeringly drunken crowd rioted – resulting in a bouncer being shot.
Oh my…democracy at work…sometimes a dangerous thing!
Fairbanks, AK: A motorist in Fairbanks was so drunk that he claimed he had no idea he was driving a stolen car until he was pulled over.

More weird criminal law stories for your consideration. They just won’t stop coming.
Washington, DC: This D.C. thief made it too easy. Not only did he leave a fingerprint behind – he left his whole thumb. He had made off with cash from a D.C. brothel but he left the key piece of evidence behind when a hooker wrestled with him and the machete he was carrying sliced off his thumb. Police caught up with him at a hospital emergency room.
OOOUUCCCHHH!
Wisconsin; This may or may not be what they mean by marking your territory, Torey Devaux, a Wisconsin man, sought revenge on his roommate who refused to have sex with him by peeing on her dog.
