World's Worst Disguise

That's right, draw your disguise ON YOUR FACE with a SHARPIE. Foolproof, right? Well, foolproof until the cops pull you over and immediately recognize you as the two men with "the painted faces" that the witness saw attempt to break into a house.

Judge Revokes $1.6 Mil Bail, Releases Sex Offender on OR

Kim Palmer of Kim Palmer A1 Bail Bonds didn't like her odds when she heard that Doug Wilhite, a man she had earlier bailed out of jail on a $100,000 bond, had been charged with seven new sex offenses, and that the police had been tipped off that Wilhite was planning on fleeing. The bail for the new charges alone was $1.6 million. Circuit Judge John Doyle decided that Wilhite could be released, but Palmer did what she thought was best and revoked Wilhite's bond, bringing him back to jail.

Despite Palmer's best judgement in revoking the bail,
Circuit Judge R. Michael Hutcheson at a separate hearing decided that Wilhite wasn't a danger to the community or a flight risk, and released him on his own recognizance.

That may be another story.

Instead, officers arrested Anderson after he crashed his motorized armchair into a parked car after having 8 or 9 drinks at a bar. Anderson was found guilty of a DWI and was placed on probation for two years.
