Lionel Tate is 18. You will recall that he was wrestling with a 6-year-old and killed her back when he was 12, was then tried and convicted as an adult -- his conviction was reversed three years later and he was let out after time served when he plead guilty to a lesser charge. Lionel apparently held up a pizza delivery guy with one of his mom's State Highway Patrol revolvers. He's looking at 30 years in prison.
Douglas Hovey called 9-1-1 to report that he had been robbed while at work in a pizza shop in Ludington, Michigan. He gave a detailed description of the getaway car; and because of the quick response of Ludington police, all escape routes were blocked. Four hours later, after the car never appeared and eyewitnesses on the scene said they never saw the getaway car or robbers, the police arrested Hovey, a 3-time loser, for ripping off the pizza shop.
And then there is Dorothy Densmore, age 86, who called 9-1-1, also, ... 20 times ... because the pizza shop refused to deliver to the crazy old coot. She spent two nights in the local jail.
