Details are slim as of this writing, but just after 9 pm a car crashed in to the Hoosters in downtown St. Louis starting a fire. Somehow no one was injured and the people in car have been arrested. No suprise there. Smashing something that hard in to Hooters ususal does end up getting you arrested…at the very least slapped.

That’s gotta be the first time anything “flaming” crashed a party at Hooters!

Former 93.7 the Bull’s morning show host Craig Cornett‘s fans have been waiting for some time now to find out what Cornett’s next big project would be. A new job at a local music station? Maybe a straight talk format show? Something online? Nope! The first real mention of Craig Cornett  since dropping of the airwaves in August of 2009 is about…Cornett beating the hell out of a 75 year old man in the parking lot of a casino!

There might have been another reason in play, but if we were in a car with you and you drove us to Del Taco, we would stab you. It’s gross. Don’t care how late it is or hungry we are, we will never say yes to the fast food version of rib-jobbing a sweaty Mexican donkey ride guy.

The victim told police that he and a 31-year-old white male were at the drive thru of Del Taco when they got into an argument. The victim said the suspect stabbed him with a knife.

Pro Tip: Always check your bag of weed before giving up the money. It may drive you to shoot a guy.

Ryan Harris (right) paid Michael Maybearry (dead) $20 for a bag of weed, got home, found the bag was empty. That made Harris angry, so angry the first thought through his mind, as told to police was: “I gotta kill this guy.” Harris sounds pretty highly strung. He really could have used that weed!

A high-speed chase started in the city, ended with a traffic accident in Webster Groves, and all started when a police officer thought he saw drugs in use in a car, reached in the window to get them and the suspect…rolled the window up on his arm!

Balls. Giant balls.

Police say it began around 3 p.m. at the intersection of Minerva and Union when an officer saw what he thought were drugs inside a vehicle. When he reached inside the car, the driver rolled up the window on the officer’s arm, then drove off dragging him down the street.

A 19-year-old man has been charged with raping and giving both gonorrhea and chlamydia to a 4-year-old. He also gave her a My Little Pony for Christmas but is anyone saying anything about that?! No! Of course not. Always focusing on the negative. You people make me sick!

No, but seriously, the rape thing is probably the bigger story here.

James M. Davis, of East St. Louis, is charged with statutory rape in the first degree. The abuse allegedly occurred between October 31st, 2009 and January 14th, 2010 in an apartment in St. Louis County.

Ok, now it’s an official disaster. We couldn’t call it earlier, but now we have official looters so it’s finally time. Congrats South County! Someone start printing “I Survived …” shirts. It’s time.

Brothers, Elvis and Hajro Ferhatovic and their father, Omer Ferhatovic each face two counts of felony stealing.

The men were seen picking up an air conditioning unit, lawn mower, even pots and pans from tornado damaged homes. The men came back a few hours later and volunteers alerted police, who made the arrests.

We broke down the now infamous police beat-down video yesterday morning on the site but since then a little more information has leaked out that we just had to pass on.

It turns out ole Officer Dustin “Let go of my feet!” Ries has a pretty short beat you with his club and mace you fuse.

We’ve all seen his latest beating/macing in its beautiful YouTube glory, but STLToday learned that Ries has had at least two other run-ins that ended with him beating someone with his baton and macing them. The first happened in 2004:

So last weekend a St. Louis cop got caught whipping a guy’s ass. Maybe you’ve heard about it.

Here’s the video on YouTube.

Oh like you thought we weren’t going to make an animated gif out of this?!

First off, I think we were all pretty surprised that it wasn’t a black guy getting beat up here. No no no, it’s ok. When you clicked on a link that says “Police Officer Caught Beating a Guy” you totally expected to see a black guy getting his ass whooped. I bet if the camera did a 180, you’d see a black guy coming out of the gas station with a hotdog, jumbo soda and his jaw laying on the ground in front of him. The world works in mysterious was to keep itself in balance though. Just as this St. Louis cop was beating the booze out of this white guy, somewhere in Mississippi, a black guy finally got decent service at a Cracker Barrel.

Remember yesterday when we told you about the guy that really really wanted to get in that Denny’s on Hampton Sunday and ended up getting shot in the leg by the police? His mugshot was released after being charged with 1st Degree Property Damage and a count of Attempted Assult on a Law Enforcement Officer.

Turns out that dude was Jesus.

This changes everything. First off that officer shot Jesus, so he’s got to deal with that. Not sure how many Hail Marys something like that is, but it’s got to be over seven. Secondly lets let Jesus out of jail and give him the Denny’s he wanted. All Jesus wanted was a Root ‘n Tootie Fresh and Fruity after a hard New Years Eve protecting the city limits from the dangerous storm that damaged all the surrounding counties who, logic would then dictate, hate Jesus. Oh, well he was going to protect the whole city limits but he bent over to pick up a nickel and North St. Louis got a little nicked.  “Who would notice?” he thought.
