A SPECIAL DAY SHE'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER: An 18-year-old Connecticut bride got somewhat intoxicated at her wedding reception at a local restaurant and got into a rather spirited discussion with employees. She stormed outside where she was met by police officers who had been called during the altercation.
To show her displeasure at this, she cursed the cops and made an obscene gesture. They then arrested her. Once inside the police cruiser she kicked the door and tried to bite one of the lawmen.
Once at the police station, she refused to cooperate and so was put in a cell for a couple of hours until she cooled down.

I THINK THEY'RE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE: A drunken man, wearing only shoes and a shirt, was arrested near Highway 101 in Ukiah, Calif. He told arresting officers he couldn't remember where he'd left his pants.

PLAN B: CALL THE COPS FOR HELP: A man broke into a doctor's office in Arnsberg, Germany, through a skylight only to discover that he was too short to get out the way he came in. Trapped, he had to call the police to free him.
He wasn't the brightest thief," a police spokesman said.

TRUE LOVE NEVER RUNS SMOOTH: A 26-year-old man in Hanover, Germany, got drunk and bit off his 50-year-old girlfriend's nose. He was sent to jail for 18 months, and the lady had six operations to build her a synthetic nose.
In spite of everything, the woman said she will take her boyfriend back when he gets out of jail.
"I still love this man," she said.

HERE'S YOUR NEW CAGE, MONKEY-BOY: An 18-year-old has been robbing tourists in the Santa Teresa district of Rio de Janeiro, taking them by surprise by jumping out of trees, and earning himself the nickname "monkey-boy."
After racking up ten victims, he was arrested.
