Since the cancellation of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, it appears this Ryan Stiles doppelgänger/stuntman has fallen on hard times.

This week, an unidentified male suspect walked out of Walmart with hundreds of dollars worth of lawn and garden merchandise.

Kind of makes you think… How does Drew Carey get those Showcase Showdown items on The Price Is Right turned around so quickly? 😂

If you have any information, please contact NBPD Dispatch at (740) 456-4109.

And yes, this is the same man….. Different cameras, different lighting.

This weekend, this clearance rack Duck Dynasty power couple wondered into Casa Grande still smelling like low tide and bad decisions. While sitting in their booth stuffing their faces with complementary chips and salsa, they planned their next “hunt” and locked onto the fiercest prey in the building: an unattended purse. The true apex predator of the restaurant world. Naturally, after striking out in the wild, this couple snatched the unattended purse and waddled out feeling accomplished…… Completely forgetting this particular “hunt” comes with cameras, witnesses, and a court date instead of a tailgate.

If anyone has any information in regard to their identity, please contact the New Boston Police Department at (740)456-4109.

Thirty years later, and long thought to be dead, Lieutenant Euton helped the Woodsboro Police Department close the case on the elusive Woodsboro “Ghostface” serial killer, Stu Macher. Mr. Macher was apprehended this past Friday in Cincinnati OH without incident.

*Stu Macher is a fictional character from the Scream Movies franchise played by the great Matthew Lillard.

This unidentified male gamer entered Walmart yesterday morning and completed what he believed to be a high-stakes mission: allegedly swiping an Xbox controller and other accessories in what we’re calling a crime fueled by poor impulse control and an uncontrollable urge to play Fortnite.

CCTV footage shows him clutching the controller tightly as he ran through the store, holding onto it like it contained the power of a guaranteed Victory Royale. After fleeing the store, the suspect ditched several articles of clothing at the scene. Possibly attempting to lower his wanted level, maybe? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We believe the plan was simple: steal a controller, go home, knock back a couple Red Bulls, build a few shaky wooden towers, and then get instantly eliminated by a 9 year old who hasn’t seen sunlight since Chapter 2. 🎮🎧

If anyone has any information regarding the identity of this avid gamer, please contact the New Boston Police Department at (740) 456-4109.
