TGIF! Here are today's headlines:
A British guy turns being a fugitive into a children's book, a man calls police to complain about the weather, and a Florida bride picks the worst Maid of Honor of all-time...
North Yorkshire, UK- A suspect found a hilarious way to poke fun at police.
Police spent the weekend looking for 30-year-old J.J. McMenamin, after he missed a court date for alleged traffic violations. But despite using helicopters and K-9 units, they couldn't find him. So, McMenamin toyed with officers by posting photos and videos on Facebook dressed as Waldo from the "Where's Waldo?" books!
Eventually, McMenamin decided to stop kidding around and turned himself into police, but not before posting a Facebook Live video showing himself being driven to the police station...in his full "Where's Waldo?" garb. [Huffington Post]
Hollywood HAS to turn this into a movie, right?

A man, desperate for sleep, called 911 and asked the dispatcher if police could come and stop the wind from blowing. Yes...he called police ON THE WIND.

Punta Gorda, FL- This woman wins the award for Worst Bridesmaid Ever.

Willis then faked a seizure and was taken to the hospital, where she exposed herself to officers and assaulted paramedics ... she faces charges of larceny, battery, and grand theft auto. And the bride says the two are no longer friends. [NBC Miami]
All that's missing is Mike Tyson, and a tiger in the bathroom...
