As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 (police dog) partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. "Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked. "It sure is," I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he get arrested for ?" ____________________________________________________ We had spent the day moving from our farmhouse into our new house in town. Early the next morning, our 3 1/2-year old ran into our bedroom to wake us up. I dressed him and told him to play in the yard and to quit bothering us. About 20 minutes later, he came running back. "Mommy, Mommy," he exclaimed, "everybody here has doorbells.... and they all work." ____________________________________________________   ____________________________________________________ Frantic Woman on phone: "Doctor, my Son just swallowed a nickel, and he's coughing up dimes.

A Cook County judge ordered a Chicago man held without bail Friday after prosecutors accused him of firing a gunshot that left 21-month-old Kayden Swann critically wounded in a road rage confrontation on Lake Shore Drive near Grant Park. Deandre Binion, 25, is charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery by discharge of a firearm in connection with the shooting on April 6. Kayden was secured in a car seat behind his grandmother while her long-time boyfriend, Jushawn Brown, drove them to a relatives home on the North Side around 11:06 a.m., Assistant States Attorney Kevin Deboni said in a bond court hearing before Judge Mary Marubio. As their Lincoln sedan approached Roosevelt, Binion nearly ran into their back bumper because he could not get around them due to road construction, Deboni said. Brown leaned out of the Lincoln as the vehicles stopped for a red light and yelled for Binion to back off because there was a child in his car, according to Deboni. The cars made their way north, and Binion pulled up on the passenger side of the familys Lincoln with a pistol dangling from his hand, Deboni said. Brown then allegedly pulled his own gun from below his feet, displayed it, put it on his lap, and tried to speed away from Binions SUV. Binion then fired several shots at the Lincoln, stopped his SUV, got out, and fired additional shots at the car before he escaped into the Loop and onto the expressway, Deboni said. One of the bullets he allegedly fired went through the Lincolns back passenger window, struck Kayden in the right temple and exited through the boys cheek. Kayden is no longer in intensive care at Lurie Childrens Hospital, but he will need further treatment at a rehab center when doctors discharge him, according to Deboni. Police tracked Binion down through the SUVs license plate, which is allegedly associated with a rental car that his girlfriend leased. Brown and Kaydens grandmother both identified Binion as the shooter in photo line-ups, Deboni said. Investigators recently executed a search warrant at the home of Binions girlfriends mother. They found a handgun that is connected to shell casings found at the shooting scene, according to Deboni. Binions private defense attorney, Mike Krejci, noted Kaydens grandmother told the media that she blamed Brown for the entire incident and even said that Brown fired the first shots in the confrontation. But Deboni said police found no bullet holes in Binions SUV, and all of the shell casings police found came from a 9- millimeter handgun. While Brown was charged with illegally carrying a handgun following the incident, his weapon was fully loaded when cops recovered it, and testing found no gunshot residue on his hands, according to Deboni.

 A Smart Like Shovel Award goes to a Hastings, Nebraska man who stole a city snow plow, drove it to a nearby city to buy some beer. He also needed fuel for the big, gas guzzling plow truck to bring the beer back home. He used one of his own personal checks to pay for the gas. DUH. I think he is on the county snow SHOVEL crew now.

"Recently we got a call from that big white church at 11th and Walnut," the paramedic said. "A frantic usher was very concerned that during the sermon an elderly man passed out in a pew and appeared to be dead. The usher could find no pulse and there was no noticeable breathing." "What was so unusual and demanding about this particular call?" the interviewer asked. "Well," the paramedic said, "we carried out four guys before we found the one who was dead." ___________________________________________________
