Skirmish III
Marvin Williams thought it would be “funny” to use a flashing dashboard light to make a traffic stop on a car in Tampa, Fla. “The joke was on him,” said a police spokeswoman. “His victims turned out to be police officers” in an unmarked car. They returned the favor and pulled Williams over. He ran from the car, police say, perhaps because of the 7 grams of cocaine he allegedly left behind. He was caught and charged with cocaine possession, impersonating a law enforcement officer, and resisting arrest. (AP) ...It helps to know what the punch line is before you start a joke.
