One-legged suspect caught with one stolen shoe
2 mins ago

BRUSSELS – Police said a one-legged suspect was caught after only one shoe went missing in a store in Belgium. An amputee was an immediate suspect when a store attendant found one shoe missing from a shop in the western Belgian town of Maldegem. Police spokesman Rik Decraemer said Monday authorities were alerted and quickly found the man who fit the description by shopkeepers. The shoe was also recovered.

The suspect, a Russian asylum seeker, faces possible charges and was handed over to judicial authorities.

Peg's pretty smart. He would've bought an airline ticket for a buddy missing the other leg and then stolen both shoes.

Armless driver eludes police chase
By THOMAS LAKE
Published May 9, 2007

NEW PORT RICHEY - For about eight minutes on Tuesday, through the streets near downtown, police chased a driver who had no arms and one good leg.

He got away.

He is used to this sort of thing.

Authorities say the driver was Michael Francis Wiley, 40, who overcame three amputations, taught himself to drive with stumps and proceeded to become one of Pasco County's most accomplished traffic violators.

His license has been suspended so many times that driving itself has become a felony.

Which brings us to Tuesday, about 12:50 p.m., when a New Port Richey Police officer spotted Wiley in a suspicious vehicle - a blue Ford Explorer - at a convenience store off U.S. 19, according to Capt. Darryl Garman. When the officer went to investigate, the Explorer took off.

The chase, eventually joined by a second officer, led down the highway to Sunset Road and Veterans Drive, back to 19, back to Sunset, and finally over the bridge into Port Richey.

But the Explorer was spotted a minute later on Grand Boulevard, Garman said. From there it went to River Gulf Road, then south on Washington Street to Massachusetts Avenue. About 1 p.m., the officers broke off the chase because it could have put others in danger, Garman said. The Explorer was last seen heading south on Grand.

Police will seek an arrest warrant for Wiley today; charges could include fleeing to elude and habitually driving with a revoked license.

If it really was Wiley behind the wheel Tuesday - and it is hard to imagine him being confused with another driver - this was not his most spectacular car chase. In 1998, while driving a green Corvette, he led deputies down Interstate 75 at nearly 120 mph.

According to court records, Wiley has stolen a car, kicked a state trooper and attacked his wife headfirst. He is awaiting trial on separate drug and illegal-driving charges. He faces up to five years in prison.

Most Ford Explorers have automatic transmissions, though several people say Wiley is perfectly competent with a stick shift.

"He is one of the best drivers I've ever seen in my life, " said Lee Michie, a longtime acquaintance. "But he's the worst person I've ever met."

OK, this is enough of a problem that we actually have a specific law against this? ? ? ?

Actually yeah. Too many people just don't care about suspensions or revokations. Two cases in point from WPB. A couple of years ago a woman (mother of five) drives with a suspended licence and kills a motorcycle cop. The neighborhood store owners and residents come to her defense because it happened at a notoriously dangerous intersection with a huge blind approach. Folks had been lobbying for years to get it fixed. Judge agrees and rather then send her away, givs her five years suspended so she can take care of the kids. Not 8 months later, she's pulled over driving one of her kids to the Dr. A sad story, but still, Take A Cab. Case two. 80 y. old, too stubborn to give up the licence gets it suspended after an accident. Popped again, licence revoked. Two months later, slightly injures a cyclist. He only stays out of jail because he is taking care of a wife with dementa, but the judge requires him to sell the car within 14 days as a condition of parole. Some folks just don't get it.
