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.

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.

Amanda Schweickert, 28, of Sardinia, New York, was arrested after police noticed that she had no front license plate, and a fake license plate on the back of her car. That fake plate was made of cardboard–and not even well done. See it here.

Michael Gilman, 28, was arrested in Florida this week after he called 911 out of “boredom.” Gilman called the emergency services line to report attacks at the White House, claimed that his emergency was that he was “poor,” and needed to talk about Hitler. He’s charged with misusing the service.

A Delicious Robbery

A Michigan woman was arrested this week after she broke into a house, and then fled after being confronted by the homeowner. She hit a tray of cupcakes in the process, which it made it rather easy for the police to identify her–she was covered in icing when they caught up to her.

Check Your Privacy Settings

John Morgan and his girlfriend Ashley Duboe were suspects in a bank robbery that took place in Ashville, Ohio. They had the potential to get away with it, until they made a pretty fatal mistake–posting pictures of their loot on Facebook. Cops quickly noticed the two young people with the massive piles of cash, and arrested them.

A Different Kind of Prize

Katie Rees, who was formerly Miss Nevada and who had a chance to win Miss USA in 2007, was arrested for possession of meth. But the interesting part is that this is the second time that she has been arrested for meth this year, she was nabbed selling it in July. That’s not very pageant-worthy!

Mary Smith, of Madisonville, Kentucky, was arrested after she called 911 to report a fire hazard. The catch? She was calling from the house she had broken in to.
