Today's police blotter provides a lesson in what not to do when locked out of your car: Do not call 911 and make up a story about an infant trapped inside so the cops will arrive faster. Because they will arrive faster, but then they won't be happy when a guy standing nearby says something like, "Brenda only said that to get you guys here quicker," reports the Smoking Gun. Florida's Brenda Crosdale faces a misdemeanor charge of misusing 911, and she even spent a little time in jail before posting bond. (More dumb criminals stories.)
