NAUGHTY OR NICE? Officials in Suffolk, Va., have discovered that the man they hired to play Santa Claus for the city had been convicted of making a bomb threat. He was fired and replaced by a policeman.

OK, SMOOTH TALKER, LET'S GO: Police said a series of women who went out for drinks with a bar owner in Madison, Wisc., would mysteriously black out during the course of the evening and wake up naked in his place.
Police searched his apartment where they found nude pictures of the ladies in question as well as videotapes of them having sex with him. Suspecting that they were succumbing to more than just the guy's personal charm, they arrested him.

I'LL BE BACK: An intruder broke into the basement of an elderly couple's home in St. Louis, snuck upstairs and and seized the wife, holding a pair of shears to her neck, and demanding the man's money.
The guy said he was going to get his wallet, but came back with a gun. Game over.

IT WAS ALL HIM: A woman embarked on a sexual relationship with her 13-year-old neighbor when she was 34. She admitted it in court, but said the boy intimidated her and bullied her into it.

SURE, SHE'S A BIT DIFFICULT ...: After a woman in England was acquitted of trying to murder her third husband during a bondage sex session, police exhumed the body of her second husband to look into his death. They locked her up for life when they discovered he had been poisoned.
Police said she had made a living conning men she met through lonely hearts advertisements out of $871,700. One detective said, "Quite frankly this woman is every man's nightmare."
