A man reported missing from a Florida hospital was found in North Carolina dressed like a doctor and driving a stolen ambulance with a dead deer wedged in the back...
Leon Holliman Jr., 37, was reported missing from a River Region Human Services facility in Jacksonville last month.
"I don't know how the man got it up in there," said Sgt. Robert Pearson. "It was a six point buck."
It wasn't known where Holliman got the deer, which had been dead for some time, Pearson said.
Authorities tracked the stolen ambulance through three rural North Carolina counties and one county in southern Virginia before its tires were punctured and it wound up in a ditch...
Holliman was admitted to a North Carolina hospital for a psychiatric evaluation...

That has got to be the oddest headline ever.
Thank you.
I work hard to find this stuff.
six point buck
Claim: An intoxicated motorist hits a deer with his car and, assuming the animal is dead, loads it into his back seat. The deer revives and begins kicking and biting, prompting a hilarious 911 call by the dazed and confused driver.
Status: Undetermined.
Well, you did good, that's for sure.
Thanks...the article was a good chuckle.
I always suspected it was put on..but then after reading this story you just never know.
I also got a big kick out of the Bad Day Computer guy who beat up his computer. Alas, that one was fake.
Is this sign in front of Looter Guy's house. Someone has put up a website about Looter Guy and his beers. I wonder if anyone has told him yet. Some lawyer will track him down if there is money to be had anywhere.
Not funny, but wierd headline title...

Hold my deer?
You are going to get soooo many pings on this one!
Then again, this could beg a return on the legendary 911 call for the 'bambulance' (You know, where the guy is in the "mutha f$%$^ phone booth" -- if you haven't heard that one, you're in for a treat!)...
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
LOL! They found him at the Stop-and-Go!
"You're Not Gonna Believe This" Ping
He gave the deer a wedgie?
I believe it, only because I've seen such stuff happen..
*cough*
But I will disavow having instigated the misguided act and laughing about it uproariously afterwards from a safe distance.
please add me to your list
Uh...
He went there, lay on the couch, spilled his guts then waited for the profound wisdom of the psychiatrist to make him feel better.
The psychiatrist asked me a few questions, took some notes then sat thinking in silence for a few minutes with a puzzled look on his face.
Suddenly, he looked up with an expression of delight and said, "Um, I think your problem is low self-esteem. It is very common among losers."
