Police say a man who robbed a Foxborough, MA home had to call a tow truck after getting stuck in the mud while making his getaway.   

Chief Edward O’Leary says a man broke into the home, and loaded up his pickup truck with two television sets, a camcorder, camera, jewelry, and other items.

As he made his escape, he backed off the driveway and onto the ground softened by rain.

He got stuck.

He used rock salt, wood and even a throw rug under his tires to get traction without success before finally calling for a tow.

O’Leary tells The Sun Chronicle the suspicious tow truck driver alerted police, who tracked the truck to a Taunton man who had just been released from prison. Police are still looking for him.

A Very “Stuffy” Reception

A Pennsylvania woman has been charged with stealing money from cards brought to a wedding reception she was attending — and trying to hide the loot in her bra.

State police say 40-year-old Jennifer Ann Martz, of Chicora, attended the wedding with her boyfriend, who was an invited guest.

The Butler Eagle reports guests found 11 cards missing from a gift table and noticed Martz heading to the ladies room. Police say Martz ripped up the cards and tried to flush them down a toilet, while stuffing $475 in cash and $80 in checks into her bra. That’s where other female guests told police they found the loot.

Martz doesn’t have a listed phone, and online court records don’t list an attorney for her.

The groom’s brother, Jeremy Scherer, says Martz “ruined the whole time for everybody.”
