BINGO WAS NOT HIS NAME-O!

A Pennsylvania man nearly needed a get out of jail free card after he was busted for falsifying his Bingo card at a game in a Pittsburgh suburb.

The man was playing in the basement of a Catholic church hall when he hollered that magic five letter word and collected his jackpot, only to have a hall worker shout a four-letter word after paying the guy before checking to see if his win was legitimate.

It wasn't, but the man fled with 400 bucks anyway. When cops tracked him down at his home, he surrendered the ill-gotten gains and avoided charges.

CLOSETED CROOK

A Florida woman found a lot more than a fluffy robe when she walked over to her closet after a shower - she found a burglar fast asleep in the midst of her clothing.

Rosa Denegris heard snoring coming from the closet, where she came face to face with Jason Wayo. Alarmed, she called her retired cop neighbor for aid, and he obliged, subduing Wayo despite the fact that the thug had pulled a gun.

According to police reports, Wayo's day included two other home invasion robberies and the theft of four vehicles, which he crashed or abandoned.

HE SAID A MOUTHFUL

A Pennsylvania man should have listened to that advice about talking with his mouth full since cops busted him for crack possession after he mumbled at them while concealing the rocks in his cheek.

Frank Lee Turner was a passenger in a pickup truck that was pulled over for a traffic stop, and tried to walk away as officers questioned the driver. When asked to return, he mumbled so badly that no one could understand him and he got involved in a struggle with the deputies.

One crack rock flew out of Turner's mouth during the tussle, and when he failed to calm down, cops tasered him, dislodging 19 more chunks. He faces charges of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and drug possession.
