It’s the criminal hat trick! Huy Quoc Le, 25, was arrested three times in three days in neighboring Massachusetts towns.

First, he was popped in Andover for driving with a suspended license and forging registration. Two days later, he was clipped for stealing nearly $10,000 from an Andover nail salon. Hours later, Lawrence cops arrested him for breaking into the home of a former girlfriend.

An Ohio county paid $1,500 to a man bitten by a rabid bat.

David Froehlich, 61, cited an obscure law that calls for Delaware County to pay anyone hurt by a rabid animal. County commissioners made the maximum payment to Froehlich, even though he missed the application deadline by two days.

A Minnesota urologist has been indefinitely barred from surgery after he removed the wrong kidney of one patient and took a biopsy from another person’s pancreas — instead of a kidney.

Dr. Erol Uke has agreed to the Board of Medical Practice’s punishment, but he could still regain surgical rights if the board later determines he is competent.

The owner of a Northern California medical-pot club has been arrested — for selling marijuana.

Joel Kelly Castle, 62, was arrested by Chico cops for allegedly trading 2 ounces of pot for an item posted for sale on Craigslist.

Castle, founder of the Chico Cannabis Club, was arrested at a motel where cops allegedly found more than 5 pounds of marijuana and a loaded gun.

This naked bid for leniency didn’t work.

Julia Laack, 36, of Sheboygan, Wis., was sentenced to six months in jail for shoplifting.

When cops went to her home, a drunken Laack stripped to her undies and told them they couldn’t arrest her because she was naked. She eventually pleaded no contest.
