One man's gun became another man's pain in the butt this week in Margate, Florida. The Miami Herald reports when an employee of a pawn shop stepped out of the store Tuesday evening, he left his semiautomatic Glock .40 caliber handgun on top of a counter. A co-worker saw the gun, thought it was an item for sale and tried to place it in a showcase. Unfortunately, that's when the gun accidentally fired and struck a third employee. The bullet entered the employee's right buttock and exited his front pelvic area, but he's expected to recover. Police are investigating the incident.
A server at a Minnesota has filed suit in district court to try to get back a nearly 12 thousand dollar tip she says a customer wanted her to keep. The woman recently waited on a female customer who left a "to-go" box behind when she left her table at the Fryn' Pan restaurant in Moorhead. When the waitress followed the customer out to tell her she'd left the box behind, the customer reportedly said to her, "No, I am good; you keep it," according to the Duluth News Tribune. When the waitress opened the box she found the fortune in mixed bills. Although the waitress, a mother of five, desperately needed the money, she called the cops -- who said the money smelled of pot, and confiscated it, telling her she'd need to wait 90 days to get it back if nobody claimed it. Nobody did, but Moorhead Police officials are saying the money is part of a drug investigation, and aren't giving the money back. The waitress' lawyer says cops had no right to keep the dough.
