Husband Allegedly Attacked for Snoring
FARGO, N.D. -- A former school principal and lecturer must have really wanted to get some sleep.
DeAnn Miller-Boschert is accused of stabbing and beating her husband, Kevin, because of his snoring. In the early morning hours of June 16, authorities said, Kevin Boschert called police from a convenience store and said his wife had attacked him. Authorities said Boschert claimed his wife poured cold water on him, stabbed him with a pen and hit him with a 3-pound fitness weight.
The Boscherts, who have been married for 18 years, have a history of domestic disturbance. According to court documents, Kevin Boschert pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and spent four days in jail for allegedly punching his wife in the face during an argument. He claimed his spouse bit him on the hand.
DeAnn Miller-Boschert has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor simple assault. She said her husband was drunk during their fracas and that they are in the process of getting a divorce.
Real-Life Alleged 'Hamburglars'
SUFFOLK, Va. -- Three men are accused of being real-life "Hamburglars" after DNA evidence taken from leftover McDonald's burgers linked them to a 2004 robbery.
Marcellus L. Jones, 45, Thomas Nelson Cribbs IV, 23, and Dexter Carlos Webb, 22, have been charged with armed robbery, abduction and use of a firearm during a felony. Police say that during a robbery of a McDonald's restaurant in May 2004, the three men ordered food, ate and waited for the fast-food eatery to empty before robbing the place at gunpoint and forcing employees into a freezer.
But police say the trio left portions of their uneaten burgers behind and investigators were able to take DNA samples and trace them to the suspects. The five employees also gave detailed description of the suspects and the store even had clear surveillance video.
Say what you want about the fictional McDonald's Hamburglar, he was efficient. It's hard to imagine him leaving behind any leftover hamburgers.
Man Fills Out Job Application, Then Allegedly Tries to Rob Place
LAS VEGAS -- A man allegedly filled out a job application at a pizza parlor with his real name and address before holding up the place, authorities say.
Alejandro Martinez, 23, faces felony burglary and robbery with a weapon charges for allegedly holding up a Papa Murphy's pizza restaurant on May 25. Authorities say Martinez ordered pizza and began filling out a job application before pulling out his gun and demanding money.
The pizza shop clerk gave Martinez $200. Police say the name and address on the application -- and help from a witness who wrote down the license plate number of Martinez's alleged getaway car -- led police to the suspect's home.
However, Martinez's public defender said authorities have arrested the wrong man. The pizza shop clerk could not identify Martinez as the robber, he said, and prosecutors did not cite the job application as evidence at a preliminary hearing.
