Dumb Criminals: Two Arrested At Florida Retirement Home For Public Sex

A resident of a Florida retirement community was allegedly caught having sex outside with her younger lover on June 2, according to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun.

Margaret Ann Klemm, 68, and David Bobilya, 49, were charged with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct after being allegedly caught sans pants in the "square" of The Villages in Sumter County. The Village is known as "Florida's friendliest retirement hometown."

Klemm was also allegedly without a shirt, and officials say they both appeared intoxicated.

Margot Harris, a sex columnist at Brown University, told HuffPost in April that she believed the desire to have sex in public likely fades as people get older. Apparently, she was wrong.

An Edible Pot Company In Colorado Is Getting Sued By Hershey Over Reefer's Peanut Butter Cups

DENVER (AP) — The Hershey Co. has sued a Colorado marijuana edibles maker, claiming it makes four pot-infused candies that too closely resemble iconic products of the chocolate maker.

The trademark infringement lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Denver this week against TinctureBelle LLC and TinctureBelle Marijuanka LLC.

It alleges TinctureBelle's Ganja Joy, Hasheath, Hashees and Dabby Patty mimic Hershey's Almond Joy, Heath, Reese's peanut butter cups and York peppermint patty candies, respectively.

TinctureBelle did not immediately return messages seeking comment. The Denver Business Journal first reported about the lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The company's website says its products, which include lotions and balms, are "diabetic safe and delicious" and helpful with a variety of issues, including pain, headaches and insomnia.

Dumb Criminals: Florida Man Impersonating Cop Accidentally Pulls Over Real Cop

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A 20-year-old is behind bars for allegedly activating illegal police lights on his car while behind an officer.

Matthew Michael Lee McMahon, 20, was spotted by a detective in an unmarked with the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office while Monday driving on International Golf Parkway at 8:35 p.m., according to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office. When the Det. Chance Anderson passed McMahon, McMahon allegedly activated a red and blue light bar on his 1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.

"I pulled over to confront the individual. At which point, he pulled up next to me. Kind of gave me the 'slow down' look and pointed this finger at me," Anderson told FCN.

The detective pulled over on the shoulder of the road and McMahon drove away. The SJSO detective conducted a traffic stop on McMahon, who allegedly provided numerous spontaneous statements on the roadside as to why he was in possession of emergency lights.

Dumb Criminals: Toronto Police Catch Man Doing Something "Obscene" With Cucumber In Library. Twice.

TORONTO — Toronto Police have charged a man with committing an "indecent act" involving a cucumber at library.

Officers received a call around 11 a.m. Saturday for a suspicious incident at Agincourt Library in the city’s Scarborough area.

They found a man holding a cucumber in one hand, while allegedly performing the same lewd act that library staff recognized from an incident in April.

"On April 7, he sits down and a (26-year-old woman) sits next to him and he opens up his laptop," Const. David Hopkinson said Wednesday.

Herman Cain Would Run In 2016 If God Said He Would Allow It

Or, welcome to the GOP Clown Car version 2.0: Electric Boogaloo Die Harder Edition. And the first passenger to exit the GOP Mini Cooper? None other than the 2012 ringmaster Herman Cain!

The man who temporarily turned the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential primary into an outright farce, instead of a mere slow-motion embarrassment, is not yet ready to rule out doing the same thing in 2016. That’s right — Herman Cain is mulling another run for president.

Or, to be more specific, God is mulling another Herman Cain run for president, according to Herman Cain.

“I do not know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future,” Cain said at this year’s edition of the annual Republican Leadership Conference. “And I trust in God.”

It’d be tempting to shrug this off as an empty play for attention, but as the Huffington Post notes, it was at the RLC in 2010 that Cain floated the idea of gunning for the White House. In the time since, Cain’s stature and public notoriety has increased markedly. His “9-9-9″ campaign platform in 2012, for example, was a favorite punch line for bored reporters and late night talk show hosts alike.

Dumb Criminals: She Must Have Skipped Over That "Thou Shalt Not Steal" Part

If only she had read the book first.

A South Carolina woman is accused of stealing a Bible, as well as several pairs of socks and some cheese, from a Walmart on Saturday, according to a Spartanburg Public Safety Department report.

Frances Thomas, 33, was approached by loss prevention officers at the Spartanburg store after an employee noticed her stuffing the book -- which, as you know, includes specific instructions not to steal -- into her purse.

Dumb Criminals: Driver Tries To Flee Ticket With Cop Still In Car

FLORENCE, N.J. (AP) — A man who allegedly fled from a traffic stop in southern New Jersey with a police officer inside his car in facing numerous charges.

Florence police tell the Burlington County Times (http://bit.ly/1oiUMKp) that 19-year-old Randy Eno Mase of Wilmington, Delaware was stopped early Saturday for speeding.

When officers started speaking with Mase, they say he tried to drive off. An officer then entered the car through the driver's side door and tried to stop him, but Mase drove off with the officer still in the vehicle.

A short time later, the officer was able to stop the vehicle.

Mase faces numerous charges, including aggravated assault, eluding and drug charges. He also faces several motor vehicle citations.

Dumb Criminals: Charlotte Police On The Look Out For Theif Who Stole 13,000 Diapers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Authorities in North Carolina are searching for whoever made a massive, unauthorized withdrawal from a diaper bank.

The Diaper Bank of North Carolina says 13,000 diapers were stolen last weekend. The Durham-based nonprofit provides diapers to struggling families.

Founder and executive director Michelle Old went Monday to pick up an order to be distributed to a homeless shelter. She found the order had been strewn across the floor, and various sizes of diapers were missing.

Old said losing the sizes 4 and 5 diapers was especially difficult because babies can stay in them for up to a year and they are hard to keep in stock. She said some people told her the diapers have turned up at local yard sales, and were being sold on the street.
