Police: Western Pa. woman offered to strip for drivers

UNIONTOWN, Pa.

A southwestern Pennsylvania woman has been jailed on charges she was flagging down motorists and offering to take off her clothes for cash.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for 35-year-old Jackie Hatter of Uniontown, who remained jailed Wednesday unable to post $25,000 bond.

The Herald-Standard of Uniontown reports Hatter was arrested about 8:40 a.m. Sunday and charged with disorderly conduct and marijuana possession after police were told she was stopping cars to offer the strip tease at an intersection in the city about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh.

Police say Hatter was mumbling incoherently and fighting with officers.

A preliminary hearing on the charges has yet to be scheduled.

Western NY boy, 8, takes his mom’s car for a ride

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y.

Authorities say an 8-year-old boy escaped injury after taking his mother’s car for a spin through his suburban Buffalo, N.Y., neighborhood and hitting several objects before his joy ride ended on a neighbor’s lawn.

Police in the town of Cheektowaga tell media outlets that the boy won’t be charged for his reckless driving early Monday.

The boy’s mother says she woke up to find her son missing and called 911 because she thought he had been kidnapped.

The boy already was in the car driving down the street.

When he came to a nearby road with heavy traffic, he decided to turn around and head back home.

On the way, he jumped a curb, ran over a street sign, a fire hydrant and a fence before the car came to a rest on a neighbor’s lawn.

Cops: Man tried to pay bartender with his own card

MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

Police in Miami Beach say a homeless man broke into a car, stole a credit card and then tried to use it to buy a beer — from the bartender the card belonged to.

The case was cracked when 53-year-old David Weber handed the card to the bartender who took his order Monday night.

The Miami Herald reports the bartender noticed he had just been handed his own credit card.

The bartender called Miami Beach police. Weber was charged with credit-card fraud and theft.

He remained in the Miami-Dade County Jail early Wednesday.

Police say Weber told them he found the credit card on the ground.
