Hiding from the police by hiding in your couch. Never works, right?

If you’re looking for something, you should always check the couch cushions.  A lot of things might get hidden in there:  Your phone, your keys, your wallet, the remote . . . maybe even a FUGITIVE.  (???)

Police in Florida were looking for a 39-year-old woman named Stacy Usher . . . who was wanted on a parole violation for selling fentanyl.

They searched her home last Tuesday, and couldn’t find her anywhere . . . until they checked the couch cushions.  Turns out, Stacy WAS there . . . hiding INSIDE the couch.

It’s unclear if they were somehow tipped off to her being there, or if checking the couch was a standard part of their process.

In any event, Stacy is in a lot of trouble.  In addition to the drugs and the parole violation, she has a history of fraud and grand theft, and passing bad checks.

Again: Hiding from the police by hiding in your couch. Bad.

(WFLA)

More stupid news? We got ya right here:

It isn’t often that people are arrested for breaking INTO jail.

There’s a place in St. Louis called the Medium Security Institution, which used to be a city jail . . . but it was shut down last year, and it’s sat empty ever since.

And last Thursday, three men broke into the place.

It sounds like they were messing around, until they accidentally locked themselves in a jail cell.  They couldn’t get out, so they called 911.

The police showed up, “rescued” them from the cell, and then promptly arrested them for trespassing.

The cops are still investigating what the men did, and there could be additional charges of property damage, burglary, and stealing. It isn’t often that people are arrested for breaking INTO jail.
