good job

LINCOLN PARK, Mich. - A woman was wondering why she was having a hard time steering her car so she pulled into a gas station. The problem? There was a man's body wedged under her vehicle. Dominique Page, 19, apparently didn't realize she had run over the man as he lay in a Detroit street. "The young woman was the not first person to hit him," said Detroit police Sgt. Eren Stephens Bell. "He apparently was already a hit-and-run victim when she ran over him." Page discovered the body when she stopped at a gas station about two miles down the road. The Detroit News identified the victim as Edison Fowler, 43
 
WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Goldilocks and the Three Bears sort of came to life when a woman came home to discover a bear in her kitchen munching on oatmeal. The bear came through an open sliding glass door looking for a meal, and found the container of oatmeal. "It sounds like a nursery rhyme, doesn't it?" West Vancouver police Sgt. Paul Skelton said. "At least we have a health-conscious bear on our hands." The bear wouldn't move when police officers came to the home, so they let him finish eating first. Once the bear was done with its meal, it left the house and headed towards a forested gully. "It ended the best it could," Skelton said
 
ALOHA, Ore. - A woman was so taken by an attractive police officer that she called 911 to have the cop come back to her home. Lorna Jeanne Dudash dialed the emergency number and told the dispatcher that he was "the cutest cop I've seen in a long time," and asked for the "cutie pie" deputy to return. When the dispatcher asked why she needed the cop to come to her home, Dudash responded, "Honey, I'm just going to be honest with you, OK? I just thought he was cute. I'm 45 years old and I'd just like to meet him again, but I don't know how to go about doing that without calling 911." Well this got Dudash a date all right, but not the one she really wanted. She was arrested on charges of misusing the emergency dispatch system.
 
PRINCETON, W.Va. - It wasn't the Princeton's police department's finest hour when two of their officers followed a man right over the edge of a cliff. The 30-year-old suspect fell over a cliff near the West Virginia Turnpike Thursday while running from police. An officer chasing the man couldn't stop himself before tumbling over the cliff after him, and a second officer jumped off the cliff and landed in a tree. The unidentified suspect suffered serious injuries, according to Princeton Police Chief W.L. Harman. Sgt. W.E. Rose, whose fall was broken by a tree, came away with some scratches and bruises. His partner, Sgt. C.T. Lowe, was not injured.
