It seems like Macon County is always the talk of the town for one reason or the other. This time around, it’s for the most fascinating reason yet – the bookings that took place recently!
Hold on, didn’t you hear? It’s time to boogie down, Macon folks! Okay, just kidding; we don’t encourage criminal behavior. However, you’ll love to hear these comical yet true stories about recent bookings in the area. From the bizarre to the downright crazy, these bookings will leave you in splits.
So sit tight and prepare for an entertaining ride as we explore some of Macon County’s recent bookings.
The Boogie Nights Band
Mugshots are not usually the highlight of a band’s career, but this particular band seems to have gotten an audience in jail.
Yes, you heard it right. The Boogie Nights Band was arrested and booked for a wild night full of mischief. The band members included Johnny “Boogie” Smith, Rusty “Finger-tapping” Williams, and Billy “The Beat” Jansen.
According to the police report, the band was spotted performing on a sidewalk with a crowd of people cheering them on. Things took a turn for the worse when the band members decided to take the party to a local gas station.
The police were called promptly, and the band was arrested for public disturbance, trespassing, and resisting arrest. We can only imagine how they must have boogied down in the police station!
The GPS Whiz
This one is not as comical as it is mind-boggling. How do you get lost with a GPS?
Well, let us introduce you to Sophia “The GPS Whiz” Thomas. Sophia was pulled over for reckless driving, and when asked for her license and registration, she proudly presented her ID and GPS.
As it turns out, Sophia had been driving around for hours, trying to locate a new restaurant. She had been so engrossed in following the GPS that she didn’t even realize she was driving on the wrong side of the road.
Sophia was booked for reckless driving and might want to invest in a map next time she decides to go on a culinary adventure.
The “Maternity Ward”
Who said jail was only for humans? Apparently, animals can boogie down too.
In recent bookings, Macon County Sheriff’s Department arrested a goat, a dog, and a rooster. According to the police report, the animals had been disturbing the peace by making loud noises and disturbing the neighbors.
When the police arrived, they found the three animals in the backyard of their owner’s house. The goat, who was pregnant at the time, was called the “Maternity Ward” by the sheriff’s department, and we can’t help but wonder what the mother of the goat team will say when she hears this!
The owner was booked for animal cruelty and disturbing the peace, and we hope the animals are doing better and keeping their noise level down.
The Wannabe Astronaut
We all have dreams, but this one takes the cake.
Say hello to Bob “The Wannabe Astronaut” Johnson. Bob had been drinking and decided it was time to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming an astronaut. He climbed atop a building with a makeshift rocket made of empty soda cans, balloons, and aluminum foil.
When the police arrived, Bob was floating on his rocket, screaming at the top of his lungs, “Houston, we have liftoff!”
Bob was arrested for public disturbance and reckless endangerment. We can only imagine the kind of pressure NASA would have felt with Bob as their astronaut!
The “Truckload” of Fun
Who knew having too much fun could get you in trouble?
Meet the group of college students arrested for excessive fun in public. The group, consisting of five girls and four boys, was on a road trip when they decided to take a dip in a lake.
Things quickly escalated when they stripped to their undergarments and began playing volleyball in the lake. According to witnesses, it was almost like they were oblivious to the fact that they were surrounded by families with children!
The police arrived, and the group was arrested for public indecency and disturbing the peace. We hope they learned their lesson and stick to PG-rated fun in the future.
The Infatuated Stalker
Now, this one is not funny at all. It’s a good thing the police were there to put a stop to it.
A man was arrested and charged with stalking his ex-girlfriend. The police found him waiting outside her house with several gifts and flowers, despite her issuing a restraining order against him.
The man was booked for violation of a restraining order and stalking. It’s a good thing the police caught him before things went any further.
What Do These Bookings Tell Us?
It’s clear that Macon County is full of surprises, and sometimes these surprises land you in jail. But what can we learn from these bookings?
For starters, drunken revelry and making your own homemade rocket are never good ideas. Secondly, public indecency and disturbing the peace can lead to some serious consequences.
On a lighter note, we learned that animals can be just as boisterous as humans and that GPS doesn’t always lead you to your destination!
