GARY SCHUNING BUTCHERED MOM, THEN HOOKER: DA

GARY SCHUNING seemed to figure that after he stabbed his mother, Doris Pagliaro, to death on Feb. 26, 2006 it was time to party! So, after shopping around various Chicago escort agencies he used his mom's credit card to order up two hookers for sex at mom's house.

DRUNK CONN. MAN CALLS COPS FOR BEER 'EMERGENCY'

WELL at least he didn't drink and drive. But quite what Raymond Roberge was thinking when he picked up the phone and called the cops is a mystery - even to him probably. Because the 65-year-old dialled 911 and when cops turned up at his home, he offered them money to go buy him beer.
Needless to say the officers were less than impressed, with this the latest in a string of idiotic calls from Roberge.  In fact, all of Roberge's 79 "emergency" calls to 911 since the beginning of this year have been false alarms, authorities told the Connecticut Post. On one occassion he even offered authorities $20 and some spare change to sit with him. Police did not say whether they accepted that particular offer but on this occasion they charged him with misusing the 911 system and was freed after posting a $500 bond.

THIEF

FORMER actress Lindsay Lohan has finally decided to help herself in her theft case and will plead "no contest" in court.
The troubled one-time film star, accused od stealing a $2500 necklace from an upscale Venice Beach store had initially fought the accusations.  
But a Los Angeles superior court judge in March imposed a 120-day sentence, while reducing the charge against Lohan from felony grand theft to a misdemeanor.
