This kid apparently couldn’t be scared straight.

A seemingly drunk Virginia teen was so out of control that his mom went to local cops for help — and the kid charged at them with a knife.

The teen, who had wrecked his car earlier, went berserk while with his mom in front of Waynesboro police headquarters.

Cops used stun guns to bring the kid under control.

It’s a real whodunit!

Someone is installing license-plate-reading cameras on street poles upstate, near the Canadian border.

Beyond that, he wouldn’t elaborate.

What a butthead!

Carmen Tisch, 37, was busted for attacking a $30 million Clyfford Still painting at a Denver museum.

This speeding ticket could result in the heftiest fine of all: life in prison.

The ex-wife of a British official faces life for allegedly lying to police back in 2003 — claiming she was driving her husband’s car when it was caught on a traffic camera speeding.

Christopher Huhne allegedly asked his wife of 26 years, Vicky Pryce, to take the heat and the points on her license so he wouldn’t face a driving ban.

She’s pleaded not guilty.

Talk about stolen dreams.

A heartless thief broke into a New Zealand bird sanctuary and swiped wishing-well coins.

The Otorohanga Kiwi House, which features the largest collection of the country’s native birds, was burgled last week by someone who had cut through the fence.
