Lethbridge, Alberta. 08/20/2022 __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by This picture taken with a police drone shows the moment that officials say 30-year-old Mariah Spate had a handgun turned on deputies from the back of a patrol car AFTER she had slipped out of handcuffs. Mariah Spate, 30, Clearlake, California, USA. Woman who slipped out of handcuffs, fired at Fresno County deputies identified A felon, handcuffed and locked in the back of a deputies cruiser, was able to get a gun and open fire. The felon has been identified as 30-year-old Mariah Spate of Clearlake in northern California. Officials say on Thursday afternoon, three deputies called to evict the wanted professional criminal out on bond, waited for Spate to leave her apartment complex in her car before making contact with her - because she was known to be armed and dangerous. They got her handcuffed and into a patrol car. But while they were checking the car for a weapon, it turned out Spate still had a gun on her. She managed to slip out of handcuffs and fire at least once at deputies. Two of them fired back at least twice. A picture shows a bullet hole in the back window of the deputy's car she was being held in. Spate was taken to the hospital where she's in critical condition. Fresno police are investigating the shooting since it happened within city limits. They say it's still not clear how she managed to keep a gun on her after being arrested. Sheriff-Elect John Zanoni admits that when deputies are searching the opposite gender for weapons, the search is more minimal. Zanoni says there was a female deputy on the way to the scene to conduct a more thorough search. Spate has been wanted for months for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Plus, Fresno police say she is the prime suspect in a domestic violence shooting that happened on July 15th in northeast Fresno. Officials believe the firearm used in July could be the same one used Thursday afternoon. Now, she will also face two charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer. _____________________________________________________ Daryl Machum,Lethbridge, Alberta __________________________________________________ In 1987, Congress required that the Social Security numbers of all dependents age five and older be included on the tax return.

"Terrible," the second bee replied. "I can't find any flowers or pollen anywhere." No problem," said the first bee. "Just fly down this street until you see all the cars. There's an outdoor bar mitzvah going on with lots of flower arrangements and fresh fruit." Thanks!" said the second bee, buzzing off. Later the two bees ran into one another, and the second bee thanked the first bee for the tip. Then the first bee asked, "But what's that thing on your head?" My yarmulke," the second bee replied. "I didn't want them to think I was a wasp." _____________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can!
