Do Better, Next Time

What self-respecting cop would accept this cake as a bribe? https://t.co/mxFtmZqRRk pic.twitter.com/fp5HE0W2mY

Edward Corey, 62, was arrested in Bennington, Vermont, after he tried to bribe police officers to avoid going to court over charges he had stolen money from his father. But instead of trying to bribe the cops with cash, he went for a not-so-appetizing cake.

This isn’t technically an arrest, but it does involve police officers and a taser, so we’ll take a look. Police in Nebraska lured a cat down from a tree by getting the feline to follow the red laser beam. The kitty is now safe, and has been adopted.

You know what time is it–time for a rundown of Law Street’s weirdest arrests of the week. Check out the slideshow below:

Well…This is Terrifying

A man named Stephen Burton was arrested in Pendleton, Oregon, after he walked into a woman’s house completely naked. After she got him to leave her house, he was found by the police hanging upside down in a tree–seems like he had fallen off a cliff and gotten stuck. Police say he was suffering from “excited delirium,” possibly brought on by drug use.

It’s a new year, but people are still doing stupid things and getting themselves arrested. Check out the weirdest arrests of the week in the slideshow below.

Someone Needs Their Coffee

It’s actually unclear if this story ended in an arrest, but it certainly made the police in Toronto mad. They were called to an apartment complex after one roommate allegedly attacked another because the latter took a shower too early in the morning. One of the officers summed it up best when he said: “Is it the most effective use of police resources? No”

It’s been another week, and yet again, people have done incredibly stupid, funny, and bizarre things and gotten in trouble for them. Check out the weird arrests of the week in the slideshow below:

Not Just Salad Dressing

Andres Josue Leal Valle was arrested in New York after he was stopped at JFK airport. He was found with 11 pounds of cocaine, but they were in a rather interesting place–packed in bottles of oil and vinegar. That would make for a truly bad salad dressing, so I guess we should be thankful it was discovered.

Carnell Eugene Butler, 18, from St. Petersburg, Florida was arrested after police found court papers regarding a car Butler had allegedly stolen in a second stolen car.
