During Washington's record-breaking snowstorm on Saturday, about 200 people from a D.C. neighborhood gathered at the corner of 14th and U streets to participate in a massive snowball fight organized by Twitter users, CNN affiliate WJLA reported.
Snowfight turned furious The adult men and women were laughing and hurling fresh-fallen snow at one another in the middle of the street, but a good-natured romp in the snow soon turned scary when a cop in plain dress appeared in the scene.
TAMPA - Tampa Police say Joshua Basso called 911 early Wednesday morning. But this was no emergency; at least not as far as police were concerned.

Basso they say, was looking for sex. He made approximately four attempts to get it by calling 911.
Here is a snippet of the call:
Operator: Tampa Police, 911, what's your emergency? Caller: What's up? Um, can I talk to you for a sec? Caller: What are you wearing? Caller: You got a nice butt?

A deputy responding to the report of a burglary in progress at the business was told by a witness that he walked outside to investigate a loud noise and saw a man, later identified as Kemerer, with his black shirt pulled over his head and walking out of the laundromat’s front door with a large coin machine.
