Tired Cat; 'Straight Up Gangster'

Nap time

The man in Shrewsbury who was napping in his trunk at 8:11 a.m. must have had a long night—so long, in fact, that he couldn't drive home to rest. When someone saw him climb in the trunk, they called police. Upon arrival, he told the officer he was just taking a nap...no need to worry.

No brass knuckles for this gangster

In Marlborough, an intoxicated man was apparently upset when his keys were taken, as he bit the finger of the woman who tried to take them. Unfortunately, this is not the first time police described him as "mouthy." In February he was arrested and told police at that time he was a "straight up gangster."

A TIREd cat

You read that right. A Medfield woman had to seek assistance from police when she found a cat stuck in her spare tire. We thought the same thing a reader did: "Must have been an awfully small cat to fit through the valve stem!"

Driving where they roam

When officers pulled over a car on Route 495 last week for driving too slow—35 mph—and asked why the rate of speed was so low, the driver gave an honest answer. They were trying to avoid the antelope.

Of course they were.
