More Than 80 People Were Caught . . . In an Illegal Coupon Ring?
Authorities in Montgomery County, Texas, near Houston, have just completed an eight-month investigation that uncovered an illegal, underground crime ring known as "Dark Side."
More than 80 people involved with Dark Side have been identified. And what kind of crime was Dark Side wrapped up in? They were producing counterfeit COUPONS. (???) You know, like 50 cents off the toothpaste, diapers, cleaning wipes, and soap.
But they were allegedly doing it on a large scale, nationwide. And one individual somehow purchased more than $200,000 worth of items from different stores in just ONE YEAR using these fake coupons. That's nearly $550 a day.
The "thieves" made it look like these discounted from manufacturers . . . and "stole" items from places like Walmart, Kroger, Target, and Walgreens. Then, they'd sell the items at flea markets and online.
The coupons only LOOKED legit . . . they wouldn't actually work if you scanned them . . . but they were so convincing that store employees would honor them. One estimate claims the ring is responsible for $10 to $20 MILLION in losses.

Two People Switch Seats While Being Pulled Over, and Both Get DUIs
This is a rarity for dumb criminal stories: A two-for-one deal . . .
A cop near Minneapolis recently saw a car roll through a stoplight and pulled it over. But the guy behind the wheel didn't stop right away.
It turned out he was drunk. So he got his passenger to switch seats with him.
The police report says they started to slow down but didn't stop. And the cop could clearly see them swapping seats.
So it was a dumb thing to do . . . especially because the passenger was ALSO drunk.
Both of them had bloodshot eyes and failed a breathalyzer. He was three times the legal limit, and she was twice the legal limit. So, less drunk . . . but still very drunk.
And because the car was in motion when they switched seats, they BOTH got arrested for drunk driving.
It's not clear if she's had any DUIs before, but it's the guy's fourth in ten years. So this one's a felony.
