As it turns out, 23-year-old David Eric Hampton thought he had come up with the perfect heist. He entered into a BP station around 3:30 am in Cape Haze Florida, armed with a Bowie knife and demanding all money from the registers, with the store clerk cooperating quickly he had part one of the heist taken care of when it was time to complete part two, better known as the “getaway”.
As our dear friend David headed back to his car to take off, he was spotted by a customer who had seen his hold up through the window and called 9-1-1 and reported our friend as a thief driving a white Mercury Cougar.
9-1-1 dispatchers notified officers of the robbery that had taken place. And as officers were in pursuit heading to the BP, low and behold Mr. Hampton was standing on the side of the road, as his Mercury Cougar had ran out of gas.
Hampton was transported to the Charlotte County Jail and charged with Robbery with a Weapon, and Loitering and Prowling. He remains in the jail on no bond.
Allow this to be rule #1 of Law and Disorder. When going to a gas station to rob the place, make sure the getaway car has enough gas to get away.
More good news coming your way from the sunshine state this time we will head over to Bradenton. Police have arrested 34-year –old Mark A. Belanger just before midnight Sunday. Allow this to be a lesson to all readers, when you want to get all pilled and liquored up, it is always better to call a cab, rather than to let your 8-year-old son drive your van into 2 trees, and almost run over 2 people.
Belanger told police he had taken Xanax, to treat his panic attacks. He claimed the pills made him feel woozy and he didn’t want to drive. And to pops defense comes the 8-year-old who informed police that “Daddy took liquid medicine to make him feel all better,” pointing to an empty whiskey bottle. Which explains why Mr. Belanger told the cops he didn’t see why it was a big deal, after all he felt this was just a “bonding moment” with his son.
Mark Belanger remains in jail on charges of child abuse and permitting an unlicensed driver to drive on $10,120 bond, Lesson #2 of the day make dumb bonding moments with your 8-year old son chances are you can now make “bonding moments” with Bubbles the jails friendliest inmate.
Last but not least we head north to Barnstable Massachusetts, where 21-year-old Allahmanamjad Barbel had been attending a child’s birthday party with his sister. At the party for reasons unknown she decided to handcuff her brother.
When he couldn’t figure out how to get them off, they took him to the police station to see if they could help in the removal. And that’s just what happened, one police officer removed the cuffs as another ran his name through the state warrant system, finding out that Barbel had outstanding warrants on charges of driving with a suspended license, leaving the scene of an accident, threatening to commit a crime and making annoying phone calls.
So off came the first set of cuffs as the second pair went on. So here is lesson #3 of the day, if you have outstanding warrants, don’t go to jail unless you plan on staying for while.
Until next time, Take care and God bless.-3B
also maybe don't get handcuffs without keys, jesus.
