We compile the odd, unusual, and 'oh, my gosh' police reports from around the region.
Our weekly round-up of wacky, strange and/or silly police news includes an ironic crash, a shot to the rear-end, an expired turkey and more. Sleepy man falls asleep near Sleepy's An entry in the Milford police log this week just begs to be in this column. A caller at Sleepy's mattress store reported seeing a man outside, possibly passed out, who had struck a curb. Police determined there was property damage at the business, as well as to two signs and a bush. Take the turkey, leave the bike A Northbridge man went to great lengths to donate a couple of items to a Hopkinton church this week. Whether the donations were his original intention is unknown. Hopkinton police initially met the man when they saw him pushing a bike through the center…

We're sharing some of the quirky items reported in MetroWest-area Patches this week.
This week's installment of odd police news includes a ferocious turkey, an unusual theft, a Coke can to the head and a strange response to being busted with a fake ID. He just can't get past the whole Thanksgiving thing... There've been reports of turkey attacks all over the place, and Marlborough is not immune. One turkey recently challenged a Marlborough Animal Control officer, who had to call police for back-up. Cops helped the animal control office deal with the "vicious and aggressive," wild turkey, according to police logs. Apparently, this man is more of a Pepsi person. When I see an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon charge, I'm always curious to see what the defendant chose as his or her weapon. It can be anything, really…

We compile the odd, unusual, and 'oh, my gosh' police reports from around the region.
Number two (not one of Dr. Evil's henchmen, the other kind) was a theme in police logs this week, appearing in two places it doesn't belong. We also took note of a man who allegedly ran over his foot with his own car. Yeah...this is just nasty. A Townsend teen and his two cousins thought it would be hilarious to defecate on the floor, instead of in the toilet, at Ted's Montana Grill in Westborough. The three kids were dropped off at the Bay State Commons plaza while the teen's mother took their dog to a training class. (Looks like she should have taken her son, too.) The boys ran out of the bathroom, laughing, and fled from the restaurant manager to Roche Bros., where they locked themselves in a bathroom (presumably one that had not been …

We compile the odd, unusual, and 'oh, my gosh' police reports from around the region.
Our latest installment of odd police news includes a horse, a scooter, a kitchen drawer and a runaway hospital patient. Life in the Fast Lane... Ever see any of the Jackass movies, in which the shenanigan-filled Johnny Knoxville and friends perform "you shouldn't try this at home," stunts and make complete fools of themselves? Knoxville's "old man on scooter" shtick is what first came to mind when I read about this scooter driver in Milford getting multiple citations before being allowed to scoot home. I will purposely not be seeking out more information about this log entry, because I prefer to imagine the vehicle in question as one of those slow-moving, sit-down, motorized scooters. (More likely than not, it was one of those newfangled …
