OLDSMAR, Fla. (AP) – Authorities say a Florida man who called 911 claiming he’d been beaten and shot at was hoping the tale would get him a ride to a bar.

Instead, 37-year-old Gregory J. Oras is facing charges of misusing the 911 system and battery of a law enforcement officer.

An arrest report says Oras called 911 three times before his arrest early Tuesday in Oldsmar, northwest of Tampa. He told the dispatcher he had a broken nose and bleeding ears, and claimed people were shooting at him.

Authorities say he was actually looking for a ride to another bar.

The report also says Oras kicked a Pinellas County sheriff’s deputy in the knees and a Taser was used to subdue him.

Online records show he is being held at the Pinellas County Jail but don’t indicate whether he has an attorney.

JOPLIN, Mo. — Some people won’t be getting the Christmas presents they were expecting.

Missouri troopers seized about 20 pounds of marijuana from a car this week – some of it in luggage, and some in boxes wrapped as Christmas gifts.

The Highway Patrol says troopers found the marijuana in the car they stopped for speeding on Interstate 44 near Joplin.

Two California women in the car gave troopers permission to search the vehicle. Both were charged Tuesday with one marijuana-related count and released on $1,000 bond.

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.

Date: 2009-03-23, 3:43 A M EST

I was the guy with the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I
hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend.
You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings.

I hope you somehow come across this message. I’d like to apologize.

I didn’t expect you to crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after

you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that
evening, and it wasn’t that cold outside.

You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911.45 A CP pistol for Christmas,
and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening.
Beautiful pistol, eh?

It’s a very intimidating weapon when pointed at
your head, isn’t it? I know it probably wasn’t a great deal of fun
walking back to wherever you’d come from with that brown sludge
flopping about in your pants. I’m sure it was even worse since you
also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I
couldn’t have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again.

I took the liberty of calling your mother, or “Momma”
as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your
situation. I also bought myself and four other people in the gas
station this morning a tank full of gas on your credit card. The guy
with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go
Go’s, along with all of the cash in your wallet.

I threw the wallet in a fancy pink  “pimp mobile” parked at the curb after I broke the
windshield and side window out and keyed the drivers side.  I called a
bunch of phone sex numbers from your cellphone. They’ll be on your
bill in case you’d like to know which ones. Ma Bell just shut down
the line, and I’ve only had the phone for a little over a day now, so
I don’t know what’s going on with that. I hope they haven’t
permanently cut off your service.

I could only get in two threatening phone calls to the DA ‘s office and one to the FBI with it. The FBI guy was really pissed and we had a long chat (I guess while he traced the number).

I’d also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I’m hoping that you’ll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky..
