This isn’t so much a new feature as just a fantastic headline we had to share with you, courtesy WTOP. Clearly the story concerns a seriously mentally ill person, so we’re especially glad no one was injured in the incident, which took place in Ocean City, Md. yesterday. Because that means we can giggle about the following:
Bergeno ran a red light at Second Street, almost hitting two cars. The chase ended when Bergeno plowed into three cars at a red light at 36th Street. As police surrounded his disabled car, Bergeno brandished a blender at officers on Coastal Highway near 37th Street.
Anyone who has been to Ocean City knows that the blender is in fact the weapon of choice for men in the area. Surely many of our readers and (ahem) staffers can attest to the successful deployment of the oft-fatal frozen margarita, and it’s only slightly less dangerous cousin, the banana daiquiri. So ladies, beware the blender as you head to the beach on these last weekends of the summer. This has been a public service announcement from your friends at DCist.
