The man whose wheelchair got stuck to a truck and got a 4-mile ride! (real story, true, event, news, report)

A 21-year-old man got the ride of a lifetime when his electric wheelchair became lodged in the grill of a semitrailer and was pushed down a highway for several miles at about 50 mph. Ben Carpenter was unharmed but was taken to a hospital as a precaution. He had been secured to his wheelchair by a seat belt. Carpenter, who has muscular dystrophy, told a television station that he thought he might not make it through the ride.

Carpenter had started to cross at an intersection in Paw Paw, about 140 miles west of Detroit. The light changed to green while his son was in front of a semi, which started moving. The wheelchair's handles became lodged in the grille, the father said, and the wild ride started.

Motorists called police on their cell phones, and a pair of undercover police officers who happened to be nearby saw what was happening. They pulled the truck over and told the disbelieving driver, Donald Carpenter said. The chair was undamaged except for losing most of the rubber on its wheels.

Lesley Falcone, Bridesmaid, Arrested On DUI After Revealing Facebook Post (social networking, David, Lim, Auckland, facebook.com/davidlimnz

A Florida bridesmaid got a lesson in walking down the aisle on Friday, but she blew it.

Lesley Falcone's failure to walk a straight line during her field sobriety test is one reason she sat in jail over the weekend, The Smoking Gun reports.

The 27-year-old's Facebook post just hours before her arrest claimed, "First bachelorette meeting, drink snacks and meeting new people!!!"

Falone was allegedly drunk when cops caught her driving 20 miles per hour over the speed limit in Holmes Beach.

The Manatee County Sheriff's Office report obtained by the site reported that Falcone could barely stand when she took her field sobriety test. She was arrested after she told a deputy, "I’m done and I don’t want to look like a fool."

On the drive to jail, Falcone allegedly admitted to having drinks during and after a bachelorette dinner, and blamed the incident on her bridesmaid status, the Sun Sentinel reports.

"This is what I get for being a bridesmaid," she reportedly said.

Falcone was released from custody after posting a $1,500 bond on a DUI charge.

Some craziest things people use as weapons! DRM Technology Limited, 095503015, New Lynn, Auckland 060.

 Finger Gun

I don't know who is dumber, Roger Crawford of Manatee, Florida, who held up a 7-11 using just his thumb and index finger, or the employee that let him do it. Pointing the fleshy weapon at the clerk and others in the store and saying, “I know you!”, Crawford grabbed a cheesburger, a Four Loco drink, a Red Bull, and condoms and split without paying. He was chased on foot and eventually found hiding behind a shed. He was charged with strong-armed robbery (but it should have been strong-fingered.)

 Palm Tree Frond and Flip Flops

George Olivieri allegedly burst into a convenience store in Deland, Florida brandishing these unusual weapons at the cashier. Repeatedly shouting, “Give me 50 dollar, give me 50 dollar,” the man used the palm frond to both obscure his face, and its razor-sharp thorns to instill fear (the flip-flops were his auxiliary weapon.) The robbery was thwarted with a bar stool. “Yeah, that's George,” said the clerk, who knew him. Only in Florida.

 Wasabi Paste

John McGuinness apparently wanted to spice things up with his girlfriend. After discovering her texting with a former lover, he allegedly grabbed a pair of her $200 jeans, doused them in the spicy green Japanese condiment and whipped her in the face. He then doused the inside of her Camry with it too, just for good measure. Wasabi? That's wasabi.

 Cow Bone

Gregory Haas had a bone to pick… literally. On Christmas Eve 2011, Mr. Haas got into a bar fight with four men, brandishing a cow's thigh bone,  and allegedly attacking them with it in the parking log. Apparently, he found the bovine bone in a nearby pasture. This makes sense, sort of, as the bar was located in Honolulu, Hawaii.

 Bowling Ball

Shinobu Hirata, a woman living in Ichikawa, Japan, attempted to kill her husband by hitting him with a 15 lb. bowling ball while he was sleeping; she was distressed by the large amount of debt that they had accumulated and was planning to kill herself afterwards. But the “weapon” proved too difficult to wield and the husband sustained only minor injuries. She tried for a strike but ended up with a spare. 

 Toilet Plunger

Lawrence Deptola took the plunge. On Thursday, April 12, 2012, he decided to rob not one, not two, but THREE separate banks… with a toilet plunger. Shouting obscenities and waving the rubbery device, he unsuccessfully demanded money from the stunned tellers. Police managed to catch up with him at his third stop, Key Bank, and chased him on foot. He was quickly apprehended and charged with third degree robbery and first degree stupidity.

 Stripper Pole

Sarah Howell of Killeen, Texas had a different sort of pole dance in mind when she allegedly went after her boyfriend with a steel pink stripper pole, after dousing him in cooking oil. When the police arrived, they found the man “covered in sweat” and scratches all over his face and body. Apparently, she didn't leave a big enough tip.

 Golf Cart

Linda Lee Pearce had the dangerous combination of anger issues and alcohol abuse. Spotting Verna Boylan near the horseshoe pits at the Roadside bar near Daytona Beach, Florida, on St. Patrick's Day 2009, Pearce muttered, “There's the (expletive)… I'm going to run her over.” Fortunately, she wasn't behind the wheel of an automobile, but rather a golf cart. She hit Boylan and dragged her 15 feet before onlookers intervened. According to Pearce, Boylan had spray-painted Pearce's friend's car. Pearce was sentenced to 3 years probation.
