That Ain't That Weird

Swedish career criminal, Jan-Erik Olsson, 64 (whose 1973 bank robbery, and accompanying devotion by his hostages, originally inspired the term "Stockholm Syndrome"), tried to turn himself in to police in Helsenborg in May, but one officer apparently found him too likable and encouraged him to stay on the run. Lance Kocses, 30, was cited by police for causing a $5,000 accident in Seminole, Florida in May. According to a sheriff's deputy, Kocses was distracted in making a left turn because he was eating from a bowl of Frosted Flakes. According to a lawsuit filed in June in Minneapolis, the reason Minnesota Limberwolves basketball player Eddie Griffin drove his SUV into the plaintiffs' parked car was that, at the time, he was watching a porno video and masturbating. (Police cited Griffin for inattentive driving.) Adam Curtis Hunter, 18, was arrested in Cockville, Tennessee in June after smashing his car into a house and passing out nearby. When police arrived and found marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and discussed citing Hunter for driving while intoxicated, Hunter objected. According to the police report quoted in the Cockville Harold-Citizen, Hunter said they won't find marijuana "in his blood because he didn't smoke it, he just sold it."
