Turtle, Absentee Juror Prompt Police Action

Additionally, one town gave us plenty of fodder for what could have been an entire unusual police news column.

If he had just gone to court the first time, this wouldn't have happened. A Fitchburg man found himself on the wrong side of the bar in Westborough District Court this week when he was arrested for failing to appear for jury duty. When police pulled him over for failing to stop/yield, they found that he was wanted for skipping out on jury duty. No doubt his trip to court as a defendant will be less pleasant—and more expensive—than if he had simply shown up for jury duty. Why did the turtle cross the road? In Shrewsbury, he crossed the road because if he had stayed in the middle of it, he would have continued to block traffic. Shrewsbury police recently were called to Grafton Street to remove the turtle from the road, as cars were backing …

Annoying Singer, Mysterious Opening Door Prompt 911 Calls

Also in unusual police news, a man was weaving in and out of traffic (on a bike).

The case of the annoying singer/honker. A woman kept Holliston dispatchers busy last week, when she was the subject of not one, not two, not three, but at least four 911 calls in two days. Apparently, she was harassing the caller, first by blocking her from passing on the street. (She had called earlier about advice on a court action.) Then, she was singing God Bless America loudly and honking his horn. The final call was from a neighbor, who was also perturbed by the loud singing and honking. Can you get pulled over for drunken-bicycle-driving?  A person called 911 in Milford on Tuesday afternoon reporting that an intoxicated man was on a bicycle, and weaving in and out of traffic. (Or, he was just a man learning how to ride a bicycle.)  …
