You Dropped A Bomb On MeAs reported by The Associated Press, Jesse Huffman and four friends were stopped by police while crossing the Canadian border into Montana. The 19-year-old driver was detained for possession of alcohol, but he was allowed to use a nearby bathroom. After clogging the toilet, the authorities also charged Huffman with criminal mischief for intentionally clogging the pipes. Huffman claims it was a call from nature. Makes you think twice before blowing chunks in front of a cop.

Now We Can Share EverythingIt's official: students aren't the only ones getting drunk to make time go faster. In a report by RTV6 Indianapolis, an elementary school teacher caused a four-car pileup on her lunch break and had a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit. Bartholomew County Sheriff, Kenny Whipker, said, "She may have been under the influence while she was teaching students, also." Now that's my kind of public education.

Alaska Man Acquitted of Watching and DrivingAlaska prosecutors failed to convict a man for what they claimed was "extreme indifference to life" after he was in a crash that killed two passengers in the other vehicle. The prosecution charged that in October of 2002, Erwin Petterson Jr. crashed into a Jeep on the highway connecting Anchorage with the Kenai Peninsula. That vehicle carried Robert and Donna Weiser. Petterson's pickup truck was equipped with an in-dash DVD player installed to permit its use while the truck was in gear. Most manufacturers wire their DVD players to be visible to the back seats only, or in the case of nav systems, to become inoperable when the vehicle is in gear. Aftermarket systems, though, can be wired to operate at all times. Alaska doesn't make it a crime to install a DVD player in the dash.

Frances Blalock of Pink Hill, N.C., won the PT Cruiser convertible given away as part of the site's sweepstakes and survey. Other empirical facts Chrysler surveyed: 46 percent of drivers thought the best place for a ragtop was on a winding road, followed by the beach with 38 percent; 44 percent preferred red convertibles; star gazing was named the best thing to do with the top down.

Test RobbingA man in South Ogden, Utah went to Good-One Auto Sales to test drive a car, according to The Associated Press. Simple enough. He stopped at a Wells Fargo bank during the drive, and as the salesman stepped out to give directions to a passerby, the man took off with the car. He had just robbed the bank. Police later stopped him with the $1,895 price sticker still on the window. Trent Goodwin, a salesman at Good-One, said, "Our deals are so good, robbers shop here."
