Wendy’s robber complains about haul
ATLANTA
Police say a gunman who robbed a fast-food restaurant was so mad about the amount of loot that he called back twice to complain.
The man walked up to the drive-through window of an Atlanta Wendy’s late Saturday wearing a ski mask and holding a gun.
He demanded the cash drawer, grabbed it and ran away.
But police say he later called the fast-food restaurant to complain about the amount of cash.
Police say in one call he said that “next time, there better be more than $586.”
He called again with a similar complaint.
Men try to sell wooden blocks as laptops
JACKSON, Miss.
Investigators in Mississippi say two men wrapped blocks of wood in duct tape and bubble wrap, attached Toshiba labels and tried to pass them off as laptops.
Hinds County authorities charged the men with trademark infringement and selling goods with counterfeit labels. WLBT-TV in Jackson reports the men were caught last week when they tried to sell the fake laptops to an off-duty state trooper.
Hinds County sheriff’s Lt. Jeffery Scott says authorities also found binders filled with paper being passed off as computers.
However, no one actually bought the fakes.
Arrests sought after food tossed into pool
DALE CITY, Va.
The hamburger patties, french fries and pretzels tossed into the pool were bad enough. But did a vandal really have to smear mozzarella cheese on the water slide?
Officials in northern Virginia’s Prince William County said that mischief was done overnight at Waterworks Waterpark, plus more.
But it’s no laughing matter: The park is closed until workers can drain, sanitize and refill the pool.
Prince William County Park Authority spokeswoman Dianne Cabot says the vandalism took place between 10 p.m. Friday, when the last lifeguard left, and 8 a.m. Saturday. A reward is being offered for tips leading to an arrest in the case.
Officials say in addition to the food, someone threw tables, chairs, lifeguard stands and cigarette butts into the water.
