Bizarre but true stories about real people collected by syndicated columnist Chuck Shepherd.

Ronnie Dale Jones, 33, was arrested in Brevard, N.C., in September after he, for some reason, drove into a parking lot and past several police officers standing by their cars, talking; Jones apparently had momentarily forgotten he had a very large marijuana plant in his back seat.

A 22-year-old man was detained by a sheriff’s deputy in Gainesville, Fla., in October after he had been stopped routinely for an expired tag; as the men were conversing casually, the deputy noticed a rolled-up marijuana joint behind the man’s ear (to which the motorist said, “Man, I forgot that was back there”).

In Tucson, Ariz., in August, Iris Jazmin Rangel, 24, was sentenced to three years’ probation in the death of her 10-month-old daughter in a minor collision caused by Rangel’s inability to brake quickly enough; her attention was diverted because she was breastfeeding the girl at the time.

South Carolina Highway Patrol officers said in July that Marie Butler, 20, triggered a five-car collision on State Road 90, sending three people to the hospital, when she lost control of her car while changing clothes during her drive to work.
