CRIMINALS: Did a Driverless Taxi Try to Flee the Police in San Francisco?

VIDEO… Did a Driverless Taxi Try to Flee the Police in San Francisco?

Here's one of those stories that makes you feel like you live in the future: A driverless taxi recently got pulled over by a cop in San Francisco . . . and did NOT comply. Or at least that's how it looked, and some guy got it on video.

The cop pulled the cab over at a red light. Again, there was NO ONE inside it. Then during the stop, the car TOOK OFF and started driving again, but didn't go far. It drove through the intersection when the light turned green, and then pulled over and put its hazards on.

So what happened? The taxi is owned by the self-driving car company Cruise, and they say it actually did what it's supposed to.

Their self-driving cars are programmed to yield for police, and then pull over to the nearest location that's safe. So that's what it did, and police did NOT end up issuing a citation. It's still not clear why it was pulled over in the first place.

A Karen Tries to Steal a Couple of Fancy Water Bottles from a Restaurant

Ever been to a restaurant that tries to impress you by serving water in a fancy glass bottle instead of a cheap pitcher? A woman in Santa Monica tried to steal two of them from a restaurant and then sat in her car arguing with the staff about it.

A Guy Beat His Roommate with a Stick While Arguing About What a Mosquito Looks Like

As the weather warms up, you'll have to worry about mosquitos again. But this guy might be a little TOO concerned . . .

A 43-year-old man in Dallas named Victor Shavers attacked his roommate last Sunday . . . while arguing about what mosquitos LOOK LIKE. (???) (Just for reference.)

It was around two in the morning, so it's possible some drinking had been going on.

Victor claimed his roommate didn't know what they looked like . . . the roommate disagreed . . . and that's when Victor attacked him.

He beat him over the head with a wooden stick at least six times. Then the roommate managed to grab a bat and fight him off.

Cops got there around 2:45 A.M. and arrested Victor for assault.

The roommate was bleeding from his head when they arrived and needed stitches, but he should be okay. It sounds like he got a few licks in too, and Victor ended up with a broken hand.

(Here's his mugshot.)

This Is a First: A Man Uses a Toilet as a Weapon?

When you're a cop, you're taught to be prepared for anything . . . but one thing that might NOT be in the playbook is what happens when someone is THROWING TOILETS.

A 47-year-old man in Pennsylvania went NUTS at a convenience shop a couple weeks ago. He assaulted several customers . . . and then struck multiple vehicles with plastic signs, damaging some of them.

The guy claimed he had a gun, and was threatening to shoot people . . . so the police were called. And when they got there, the guy's rampage entered a whole new level of crazy.

The guy climbed the fire escape of a nearby apartment building . . . and then threw rocks down at the officers. Then he got up onto the roof of the building, and he THREW A TOILET off the roof along with a paint can. No one below was hurt.

The guy broke a window . . . entered the third floor of the building . . . and that's where the police were finally able to catch him. He's facing charges of aggravated assault, criminal trespass, terroristic threats, and simple assault.
