The Roof Ninja

“It’s not for everybody, it’s not even for me.” – The Roof Ninja

I sometimes watch police bodycam videos for amusement – someone gets pulled over for a minor infraction, then escalates the encounter into multiple felonies and jail time.

This one intrigued me.

Midland Michigan Police were called to evict a woman who had been living on a grocery store rooftop in a sign access space for about a year. From the YouTube description:

On April 23, 2024, police were dispatched to the Family Fare grocery store in Midland, MI, to investigate a suspicious incident. The store manager reported that a contractor working on the roof had stumbled upon a 34-year-old woman, known as the ‘roof ninja,’ residing inside the store’s rooftop sign. The sign had been transformed into a mini-apartment, containing items such as a printer, pantry, desk, and coffee maker. It was subsequently discovered that she had been residing there for quite a while.

The policewoman was impressed, noting that the attic was clean, and she could smell a whiff of garlic. The Roof Ninja offered the officers some non-alcoholic ginger root beer before leaving most of her possessions behind in the attic. The police presumably issued a trespass (that if she returned to the property she’d be arrested) and her possessions were ultimately returned.

Buy Him Some Peanuts and Cracker Jack

11 June 2024, Cincinnati

In the 9th inning of the Cincinnati Reds / Cleveland Guardians game Tuesday night, Reds fan William Hendon, a sophomore at OSU, ran onto the field of the Great American Ball Park in his socks and wearing a Johnny Bench jersey. A police officer approached, Hendon did a backflip, and the officer stopped him with a Taser.

Hendon “did knowingly run onto the Reds playing field during the game without permission to do so,” an officer wrote in one of his criminal complaints.

“Everybody thinks you landed that backflip,” Municipal Court Judge William Mallory said during Hendon’s arraignment Wednesday morning.
“I’m pretty sure I did,” replied Hendon.

Hendon pleaded not guilty.

Nothing Much Happened Today.

Yep. It happened.

“Colorado Springs Police say a patient behaving badly caused chaos in the emergency room of a northeast side hospital Monday evening (8/17/15).

The incident happened at around 6 p.m at St. Francis Medical Center, near the intersection of N. Powers Blvd. and E. Woodmen Rd. Police say Johnny Solis, 32, was being treated in the emergency room when he began acting up. They say he ‘menaced’ several members of the medical staff as well as several security guards with a metal T-Bar. They say he also knocked out several first floor ceiling tiles and then climbed into the rafters above the ER.

Police say Solis damaged plumbing and electrical systems while he was in the rafters.”

“Ma’am do you know why I pulled you over?”
“What seems to be the officer, problem?”
“Stop resisting, ma’am.”
And that’s why it’s called a Ford Escape.
