As Rick James once said, “cocaine is a helluva drug.”

Police in Lakewood, New Jersey, say 31-year-old Jermaine Jones smoked some cocaine and then found himself riding around on a tricycle at an apartment complex. By the time officers arrived on the scene, he had allegedly abandoned the tricycle and was sitting (still naked) under a stairwell, where he was chewing on glass and tobacco, reports David Moye of Huffington Post Crime.

That would certainly explain matters.

He was treated for cuts in his mouth at a local hospital and charged with disorderly conduct and being under the influence.

High school cheerleaders in South San Francisco got an unwelcome visitor to their locker room earlier this month, and it wasn’t a coach there to deliver a pep talk.

No, it was a naked man – who stared at the girls, waved his penis at them and then took off.

“He didn’t say anything. He was just standing there, staring at us,” freshman cheerleader Alondra Gomez told KTVU-TV.

After he left, the girls called 911. Police couldn’t find the man, but they did get this sketch.

He’s described as being a balding white man between 45 and 50 years old and of average build – except for a potbelly, according to HuffPost Crime.

This isn’t an ordinary orangutan. This is an ape that has a sixth sense for the Super Bowl – because for six straight years, he’s managed to predict the winner.

And – sorry, Denver Broncos fans – this year, he’s going ape for the Seattle Seahawks.

Eli, a 13-year-old orangutan at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, was given a choice of two papier-mache helmets with the logos of the two teams, and made his pick clear by smashing apart the one representing Seattle.

“He made his pick without any hesitation,” said zoo publicist Erica Hansen, according to the Associated Press.

What’s worth $15 billion, uses 100,000 avocados a day and even has its own currency?

It’s Chipotle, the burrito restaurant that came out of nowhere to become one of the nation’s top fast food chains.

But believe it or not, the creator of Chipotle never set out to get into the burrito business at all. In fact, Steve Ells wanted a fancy restaurant – and the burrito shop was supposed to be a quick way to raise some money towards that dream.

I’ve got some trivia about Chipotle you probably never knew in my new gallery. And for more fun facts about the world’s top burrito chain, see “15 Things You Didn’t Know About Chipotle” over at The Huffington Post.

Yesterday, we had farting cows. Today, it’s a farting opera singer.

Amy Herbst of the Nashville Opera Company says doctors at a U.S. military hospital botched her childbirth operation and now she farts so much she can’t sing.

Herbst is suing the federal government for $2.5 million, saying all that gas is threatening her career, according to an Associated Press report.

Maybe she should consider a different type of musical career.

Farting cows nearly blew the roof of their barn when methane gas released by the animals caused an explosion.

Police in Germany say static electricity appeared to have triggered the barnyard butt blast, damaging the roof and even causing a little flame, according to an Associated Press report.

Amazingly, only one of the 90 cows in the barn was injured – slight burns – and no humans were hurt as a result of the bovine blast.

Is that McRib… or are you just happy to see me?

A man nearly 80 years old was caught with his pants down in his car in a McDonald’s parking lot in Bonita Springs, Florida, while watching porn on a laptop, according to reports cited by HuffPost crime.

Spencer Toner, 79, was reportedly asked to leave by another customer – and when he didn’t, the other customer called the cops, according to the reports.

Toner told police he was homeless and living in his 1982 black Mercedes Benz C300, according to news-press.com. See more of Toner and mug shots of other accused miscreants in my new gallery, This Week in Weird Crime.
