Loafin' around in his undies
New York ---------- A man stole a New York City bread truck and began delivering loaves of savory baked goods to random businesses, the bakery's owner said.
                               David Bastar hopped into the Grimaldi's Home of Bread truck on Manhattan's Upper East Side while the real driver was making a delivery at a pizzeria, according to police.
                              Reportedly wearing only his underwear, Bastar then allegedly began dropping off baguettes, whole-wheat rolls and sourdough bread ------- but not to the bakery's customers, said Joe Grimaldi, the owner of the baker in the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens.
                              Grimaldi said about $5,000 in bread was taken.  The bakery later was able to accommodate all its customers.
                              Bastar, who was taken to a hospital for evaluation, was charged with criminal possession of stolen goods and driving without a license.

Very honest man on bake ride
Springfield, Mass. -------------- Massachusetts police say a Springfield man blew through a stop sign and also blew a cloud of marijuana smoke when he was pulled over.
                                                  An officer enforcing seat belt laws as part of the annual "Click It or Ticket" campaign saw a vehicle drive through a stop sign.  When the driver stopped and rolled down the window, police say, the officer was "covered in a plume of smoke."
                                                  Sgt. John Delaney says the officer asked : "Are you smoking marijuana while operating this motor vehicle?"
                                                  The driver allegedly responded : "Why, yes I am, officer."
                                                  The 30-year-old driver was scheduled for arraignment on charges of operating under the influence of drugs, failure to obey a stop sign and failure to wear a seat belt.

He's having a bad hair day
Bremerton, Wash. ----------- A 24-year-old Bremerton man told a Washington State Trooper he was not wearing pants because he had recently received a body wax.
                                              After the "manzilian" or Brazilian hair removal for men, he said his jeans irritated his skin so he was driving in his underwear.
                                              The Kitsap Sun reports a witness saw the man exposing himself.  He was arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure.

Brain freeze when counting change?
Rock Hill, S.C. --------------- Authorities in South Carolina say a man who was not in good humor smacked an ice-cream truck driver with a fudge bar in a dispute over correct change  after his daughter bought the frozen confection.
                                             The ice cream vendor told Rock Hill, South Carolina, police the man accused her of not giving his daughter correct change after a purchase.  That's when the fudge bar was allegedly employed as a weapon.
                                             The driver gave officers a description of the man and the white truck he used for a getaway vehicle.  The police report did not say whether he took the fudge bar with him.
