|
|
- A 31 year old man turned himself in to Anchorage, Alaska,
|
|||
|
|
police in January claiming to be the fugitive "Dr Diaper," who
|
|||
|
|
has been appearing at local day care centers in diapers and
|
|||
|
|
trying to get them to take him in. Two years before, Dr Diaper
|
|||
|
|
contracted with a baby sitter by phone, claiming to be the parent
|
|||
|
|
of an 18 year old boy who had the mentality of a toddler, needed
|
|||
|
|
to be changed and fed, and whose bad habits (Masturbating in
|
|||
|
|
public) should be ignored. When the sitter arrived, the giant
|
|||
|
|
baby was Dr Diaper himself. On another occasion, a prospective
|
|||
|
|
baby sitter said Dr Diaper had come to her door once carrying his
|
|||
|
|
own 3 year old son because he could not find a real baby sitter
|
|||
|
|
for the boy while he went out on his escapade.

|
|||

|
worse, but St Paul Bible was in a "prevent" defense the entire
|
|||
|
|
game.

- Among the rituals of Atlanta Braves minor-league pitcher
|
|||

|
|||
|

kangaroo jump; demands that the umpire roll the ball to him to
|
|||
|
|
start the game; chew licorice on the mound and brushes his teeth
|
|||
|
|
every inning; occasionally makes a pick-off throw to first base -
|
|||
|
|
- with no runners on; and once carried a camera to the mound in
|

his pocket, took it out, and snapped a picture of the batter

|
|
- Earl H. Brockington was convicted in February of robbery in
|
|||
|
|
Kansas City, Mo, for an incident a year ago. He had taken a
|
|||
|
|
woman's purse (containing only $5) in a parking garage, then
|
|||
|
|
accidentally nicked the woman with his knife, provoking her to
|
|||
|
|
scream, whereupon four men chased him, forcing him to leap from a
|
|||
|
|
parking deck 25 feet to the ground, injuring his leg. He managed
|
|||
|
|
to hobble to, and climb under, a parked car, but the owner of the
|
|||
|
|
car got in a few minutes later, started it up, and ran over
|
|||
|
|
Brockington's feet, breaking several bones.

|
- Gregory Putman, 42, a veteran sheriff's deputy who had been
|
|||
|
|
on inactive status since 1984 after a heart transplant, was
|
|||
|
|
disciplined in November by an Oregon City, Ore, judge, who lifted
|
|||
|
|
Putman's license to carry a concealed weapon. Putman, apparently
|
|||
|
|
frustrated at being shelved from "active" status, had modified
|
|||
|
|
his car so that it would resemble a state patrol car and had
|
|||
|
|
allegedly stopped at least three motorists on his own to lecture
|
|||
|
|
them on lawful behavior. Putman said later that he had "let the
|
|||
|
|
old days get the best of me."

|
|||
|
|
he and his wife had given her, Dee Dee, in favor of Desiree.
