Advertisement Detectives aren't saying if it was one of the easiest cases they've ever solved, but authorities can't believe how stupid the burglar was. The 49-year-old suspect had allegedly broken into a lumber yard several times Saturday night or early Sunday, dragging away an engine block, a transmission, a compressor and a bucket for a front end loader. He used a cable attached to his car to drag the items from the lumber yard. The drag marks led straight to his home, where the stolen articles, worth about $4,500, were recovered Sunday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said. Police said deep grooves gouged into the road led right to the suspect's door. Man arrested for going 140 mph over limit WABASHA, Minn., Sept. 21 (UPI) -- The Minnesota State Patrol pilot couldn't believe his stopwatch when he clocked a motorcycle on U.S. 61 traveling at 205 mph. "I was in total disbelief," Al Loney told Tuesday's St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press. "I had to double-check my watch because, in 27 years, I'd never seen anything move that fast." Advertisement In fact, Looney said the motorcycle was traveling faster than his airplane. Loney radioed another state trooper, who stopped the two motorcyclists Saturday and arrested the faster rider, Samuel Armstrong Tilley, 20, for reckless driving, driving without a motorcycle license -- and driving 140 mph over the speed limit. Tilley, by the way, is the son of a Washington County sheriff's deputy. Several law enforcement sources told the newspaper Tilley might have set the record for the fastest speeding ticket in Minnesota history. Judge mooner stays dressed this time MILFORD, Conn., Sept. 21 (UPI) -- A convicted robber who told a judge to kiss his behind and then dropped his pants will spend an additional six months of his life in prison for the mooning. When Richard Brown of New Haven, Conn., appeared Monday before a Superior Court judge in Milford, he kept his clothes on and his mouth shut, the New Haven Register reported. Brown was sentenced to an additional six months for the June mooning incident, plus 15 years in a plea agreement reached in the case. That means he will serve a minimum of 10 and a half years for a December 2003 robbery. Advertisement Court officials took a number of precautions before Brown's hearing Monday, including changing courtrooms, adding marshals and making sure his was the last case on the docket. But it turned out to be a routine hearing: Brown respectfully answered the judge's questions and, most importantly, he kept his pants on.
