Hooker received a patent for the mousetrap. ____________________________________________________ Bonehead Award goes to to crooks in Dallas lead police on wild chase through Dallas with a baby on board ____________________________________________________ You cannot slander human nature; it is worse than words can paint it. --- Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892) Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology. --- Rebecca West (1892 - 1983) _____________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock: An International Bonehead Award has been earned by mugshots from prior arrests. Andy Guevara, Marvin Guevara, Dallas, Texas, USA crooks in Dallas lead police on wild chase through Dallas with a baby on board A driver in a stolen Dodge Charger and the driver of an SUV led multiple law enforcement agencies on a dangerous high- speed chase. SKY 4 first caught a glimpse of the child when the driver of the stolen Charger ditched it and got into a waiting SUV. The driver of the SUV made dangerous maneuvers and crashed into a neighborhood fence before stopping at a YMCA with a daycare inside. The man who started the chase was seen running with the baby into the building. There are still a lot of questions about how this all started. The Dallas County Sheriffs Office said both suspects are still being processed but provided mugshots from prior arrests. A man in a stolen vehicle took law enforcement on a chase through Rockwall and Dallas counties. Rockwall police told FOX 4 that an officer tried to stop a blue Dodge Charger reported stolen out of Midlothian. Police didnt say when the car was stolen or even if the driver was the person who took it. The driver has since been identified as Andy Guevara. He took off, and sheriffs deputies later spotted it going into Dallas County. What officers and deputies didnt know was that there was a baby in the car. SKY 4 caught up with the chase in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas. Andy evaded police driving at high rates of speed. At one point, Andy got off the highway on to Hampton Road and pulled over. An SUV driving behind him stopped. And thats when you see Andy pulling the baby out of the back seat of the blue Charger, throwing the baby into the SUV, grabbing something else and then jumping inside. The SUV driver has been identified as Marvin Guevara sped off just as police caught up. After maneuvering away from officers, someone inside the SUV threw two items that appeared to be weapons out of the window. Moments later, a bag was thrown from the SUV. Marvin then entered a neighborhood off Hampton Road, jumped the curb nearly hitting a car parked in front of a home, slammed into a fence and rolled to a stop in front of a building. Andy hopped out with the child in tow and ran inside the Lake West Women's Health Center which holds a Pre-K. Elizabeth Neumann is an employee at Lakewest Head Start. She said they just did a lockdown drill the day before. "So when we heard lockdown on the intercom, we werent sure if it was another drill. But we heard cop cars outside and said, This is real life," she said. "I barricaded the door, turned the lights off. We all went into the bathroom." It wasnt long until officers caught up, cuffed both men involved in the chase and brought the baby to safety. Its unclear why the baby was with them in the first place, whether it was related to either driver and why they eventually stopped at the YMCA. FOX 4 cameras captured a gun recovered at the scene. Its unclear whether thats one of the items seen thrown from the SUV or if the suspects were still armed. It's unclear how the two men are related. Andy and Marvin are in the Dallas County jail, but it's unclear what charges they are facing. ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ It was opening night at the Orpheum and the Amazing Claude was topping the bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his stuff. As Claude took to the stage, he announced, "Unlike most stage hypnotists who invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience." The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. "I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. Its been in my family for six generations." He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch..." The crowd become mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces. "Shit" said the hypnotist. It took three weeks to clean up the theatre. ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Hi There! _________________________________________________ Three paramedics were boasting about improvements in their respective ambulance team's response times. "Since we installed our new satellite navigation system," bragged the first one, "we cut our emergency response time by ten percent." The other paramedics nodded in approval. "Not bad," the second paramedic commented. "But by using a computer model of traffic patterns, we've cut our average ERT by 20 percent." Again, the other team members gave their congratulations, until the third paramedic said, "That's nothing! Since our ambulance driver passed the bar exam, we've cut our emergency response time in half!" ____________________________________________________ A local radio announcer commenting on hazardous driving conditions: "Please don't do any unnecessary driving unless it's absolutely necessary."
