Juneau County sheriff’s deputy arrested Tammy D. Lewis and Alan Bushey of Necedah, Wisconsin, for two felony counts of causing mental harm to a child. See, the two left the body of a 90-year-old woman decomposing on the bathroom toilet!
The sheriff’s office was asked on Wednesday to check on Middlesworth’s welfare by the woman’s sister, Bernice Metz, because Metz had not heard from her in "some time."
When a deputy arrived at the home, Lewis initially claimed Middlesworth was on vacation, but after her body was discovered told the deputy that she had been dead for about two months.

Californians who converted their cars to run on vegetable oil pride themselves for saving gas money, as well as promoting alternative or "greener" fuels. Unfortunately, they are also learning that no good deeds go unpunished, especially by the gub’ment:
Dave Eck, a Half Moon Bay mechanic, had attracted a media spotlight with his fleet of vehicles fueled by used fryer grease from a local chowder house. So when Sacramento called, he figured officials wanted advice on promoting alternative fuels.

Attention dog lovers! if Assemblyman Bill Maze of California succeeds, pretty soon you won’t be able to drive with your pets on your lap anymore:

Assemblyman Bill Maze said his legislation has nothing to do with pet-loving celebrities who are photographed driving around Los Angeles with their small dogs.
Maze said he introduced the bill after seeing a woman driving with three dogs on her lap.

This guy probably thought it was a good idea at the time: mooning the speed camera …
A front seat car passenger was photographed baring his backside at a speed camera in Northumberland. […] His behaviour has been labelled as "dangerous and offensive" by road safety campaigners.
Police may take action against the man for public order offences and not wearing a seat belt.

We’ve featured many stupid criminals on Neatorama, but I think this guy may just be the dumbest one yet. Meet Charles Ray Fuller, who was arrested for forgery when he tried to pass a check for … $360 billion! (Yes, that’s $360,000,000,000).
He claimed that it was given to him by his girlfriend’s mother to start a record business.

For years, neighbors in Pikesville, a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland, had been distrubed by a big boom and a flash of light in the middle of the night:
"The bedroom actually lights up like day," says Elaine O’Mansky, who lives in the Stevenson Commons condominium building near Beth Tfiloh. "It’s instantaneous and wakes us up out of a very deep sleep."
She isn’t alone. Barbara Friedman is Homeowner’s Association president for the area. She was up late one night sweeping her back patio when she heard the boom. "I hit the deck," Friedman explained. "It was so loud, I thought I was being shot. I literally hit the deck."
