JOKE: Lady Lansdown was breakfasting at the Savoy

Lady Lansdown was breakfasting at the Savoy, making a big fuss as usual. "Now, young man", she demanded of the waiter, "Make sure my toast is crisp, my egg is soft but not runny, and I will not abide sausage with the mixed grill. One sight of sausage makes the short curly hairs on the back of my head stand on end." "What a coincidence", replied the waiter. "One sight of short curly hairs makes my sausage stand on end."

Police asks drug dealers hit by counterfeit scheme to call them

A counterfeit bust lands five people behind bars in Floyd County Indiana. It happened at a New Albany apartment complex in the 2700 block of Paoli Pike on July 23. Police arrested Jerry Davey and Jonathan Alan Frantz after discovering $4,500 of fake money inside their apartment.

"When we walk into a room and we see literally thousands of dollars that's printed, other dollars that are printed that are not cut out yet, the machine that's making the money and also the people that are actually right there doing it, we feel like that's a pretty significant bust," said Sergeant Jerry Goodin of the Indiana State Police Sellersburg post.

Police arrested Davey and Frantz at the scene. As officers wrapped up their investigation, Goodin described a knock on the door. The visitor, Michael Casey, was questioned by police and ultimately led officers to another unit in the same complex.

"While we did our search there, we were able to locate half a pound of marijuana, hydrocodone and ecstasy," Goodin said.

Casey and two others were arrested; 20-year-old Lindsay E. Portwood and 19-year-old Woodrow Sulikowski. Their charges included possession of marijuana and maintaining a common nuisance.

Goodin said those involved used fake cash to target high traffic businesses.

"They were going into small gas marts, grocery stores, places where they know there's a lot of people," Goodin said. "Where they can try to get in and out real quick. There's a lot of people and the cashiers are in a real hurry."

Those targeted also included drug dealers according to Goodin and he had a message for the victims.

"We have information allegedly that leads us to believe that a lot of this counterfeit money was going to buy drugs. What we are asking today is we want all the drug dealers to call us," Goodin said. "We want to get all of your information and exactly what happened there. We want to see what we can do to try and help you. Trust us. Call us."

Investigating agencies included the Floyd County Sheriff's Department, Indiana State Police, New Albany City Police Department and the United States Secret Service.

Those responsible are being held at the Floyd County Jail in New Albany awaiting their first court appearance.

Robber calls Wendy's twice to gripe about amount in register

A man who robbed a Wendy's at gunpoint Saturday night apparently was so upset with his haul that he twice called the restaurant to complain, Atlanta police said.

"Next time there better be more than $586," he said during one call. He made "a similar threat" in the second call, police said.

About 11:15 p.m., a man wearing a ski mask and holding a gun walked up to the drive-through window at the Wendy's at 1940 Piedmont Road, police said. He told an employee to put the cash drawer on the counter.

After grabbing the drawer and running away, the robber discarded the drawer in the bushes at the nearby InTown Suites. Police dusted the drawer for fingerprints. However, the robber was seen wearing yellow gloves at Wendy's.

Police also are checking to see if the robber shows up on hotel security cameras.

Mom refuses to bail out son accused of stealing pizza delivery car

A Chicago teenager accused of stealing a pizza delivery guy's car was chewed out by a judge -- and his mom -- Sunday morning in court.

Ravontay Hutchins, 17, allegedly stole the 1996 Acura Integra after the driver left the keys in the ignition and the engine running outside Pompeii, 1531 W. Taylor, at 9:20 p.m. Saturday.

Two cops on a lunch break at the restaurant heard about the theft and quickly put out a description of the stolen car, which the delivery guy was following in another car, police said.

Hutchins and a 14-year-old accomplice were soon arrested after a brief foot chase in the 1300 block of South Albany, prosecutors said.

At a hearing Sunday in Cook County Criminal Court, Hutchins' mother told Judge Peggy Chiampas that Hutchins' father was serving with the military in Iraq and that she'd done everything she could for the boy, who was "spoiled."

When Chiampas set Hutchins' bail at $25,000, his mother told the judge "I've got [the money to bail him out], but he's staying here, locked up!" and stormed from the courtroom.

Chiampas praised her, saying, "I want to know why there's not more parents like this. ... I applaud her for her truthfulness."

As Hutchins was led back to the cells, she told him, "You think about that, while your dad's in Iraq."

In addition to a felony charges of possession of stolen motor vehicle, Hutchins, of the 1200 block of South Throop, also faces a misdemeanor battery charge and several traffic citations.
