Peeping Toms come crashing down: A Suwanee man and his cousin were arrested after their attempt to peer into the women’s restroom at a Duluth-area theater failed miserably. They reportedly crawled through the ceiling in the men’s bathroom and over the women’s room, then crashed through the ceiling onto the floor. “Just being stupid,” one of the men told police. No word on whether any women were in the restroom at the time of the incident.

All he wanted was meth: A man, who entered a Snellville home and refused to leave, told police all he wanted to do was to smoke some meth. Turns out he had been wanted in connection with the assault of a woman at the same Snellville residence in April. The homeowner said the man broke a garage-door window and kicked in the front door before police arrived. The meth man yelled at police that he would rather be shot or tazed than be arrested again. But once police threatened to send in a K-9 dog to remove him, he came out with his hands up.

You can’t hide: A Loganville couple used the GPS tracker on their stolen mobile phone to locate the thief. That’s when the husband sent a text message: "The phone has been reported as stolen to GCPD, it has a tracking device on it and the police were tracking it." The phone was turned off a moment later.

Burglar repellent: A University of Georgia student had an effective way to ward off burglars — show up at the front door carrying a Marlin rifle.

Blame it on beer pong: A Buford woman was arrested and charged with DUI and other offenses following a party. She said she waited an hour to sober up before leaving the party. But that wasn’t long enough to overcome the effects of the five beers she drank playing beer pong.
