How about that first one, eh? Woman threatens to cap some dude at anger management (so he must be an angry dude), and she gets him to cry??

Valparaiso represent!

False advertising from subby:

In October, a Valparaiso man who decided to cut ties with the church he'd been attending ended up getting battered by a church member, police said.

The victim told police the church member, a 36-year-old Michigan City man, came to his home and wouldn't leave, stating that the reasons for leaving the church were not good enough. The victim told police he tried escorting the church member out the door, but he ended up getting grabbed by the neck.

Police reports state the church member's actions warranted a battery charge, but the police report didn't mention whether the actions also counted as a sin.

Not "in-church" unless you mean the fellowship rather than the building. And not exactly a "beat-down", either.

I have to say I'm proud to live here when our ten weirdest stories of the year aren't as stupid as the ten weirdest stories from Florida every day.

Since when is Indianapolis in the Region?

This list of wacky crimes wouldn't be complete without mentioning the 46-year-old Valparaiso man who was arrested three times during 2006, marking the 66th, 67th and 68th times he's been arrested. Most of his arrests have been alcohol-related.

Henry Earl calls him "an amateur."

"Police said that in May, the two men attacked a male co-worker. Police said one of the attackers held down the victim while the other attacker pulled down his pants and planted his exposed buttocks on the victim's face."

I wonder if this will be portrayed on the next Assy McGee episode.

Last night my friends and I were at a Demotte bar minding our own business, some drunken old lady comes up to us, drinks my friends beers and then shows her tits. That story is more entertaining than anything in that article heh

FTFA: One of the strangest cases of the year occurred in May, when a 17-year-old Chesterton boy had his friend, an 18-year-old South Haven man, run him over with a car.

Interesting how one year makes a man of you.

Another regioner here - VHS class of 94!

/Second story - first you put your dick in a can...

chewy68		2006-12-30 01:14:57 PM

yup, there's some characters around here.

That's just pathetic on so many levels.

Anyway, according to WUWHE, Henry is currently in jail: He was booked on 12/16/2006.

So apparently some judge figured it would be nice to give Henry a warm place to sleep for Christmas. In a way, that's nice.

Morton High, class of '92. So nothing interesting happened in Gary, Hammond, or East Chicago this year?

It's not quite Chicago, it's not quite Indiana, it's the Region! Gawd I sure miss the land the 21st Century forgot.

Nanan		2006-12-30 07:25:17 PM

Oh how I love NWI, its home, its hell, its a place to test carpet bombing.

asmith996		2006-12-30 09:47:18 PM

Having spent some time in this area, I have to say I am not suprised. It's like West Virginia and Hell's bastard child.

That one year is also what seperates a woman from a girl. Keep that in mind in college, them freshmen can be younger than you think.
