Contender for the Darwin Awards? Police say fake cop busted after stopping real one
HARTFORD, Conn. – Police say a Connecticut man playing police officer picked the wrong person to pull over. Israel Gomez was arrested Tuesday after pulling over an off-duty Hartford police lieutenant.
Police say 20-year-old Gomez turned on flashing lights and used a siren and loudspeaker to coax police Lt. Ronald Bair off the road.
Bair called for backup, and officers arrested Gomez and 20-year-old Esteban Cardona.
Gomez is charged with impersonating a police officer, reckless driving and improper use of red flashing lights. Cardona, who was driving another car involved in the bogus traffic stop, is charged with reckless driving. They were released on written promises to appear in court. The court says their dockets do not list attorneys. The Hartford Courant, http://www.courant.com

Snake Spoils Fashion Fun. A woman voted best-dressed at an Australian fashion contest was unable to collect her prize after she was bitten by a deadly snake, local media said on Monday.
Megan McDonough won the best-dressed contest at a horse race meeting at Hamilton in country Victoria state on Saturday, but was bitten by a Tiger snake before she could collect her prize.
"The judging had just been concluded. They were just giving them a final parade. And unfortunately Megan got bit on the foot," Hamilton Racing Club Secretary Manager John Donnelly told Australian Broadcasting Corp radio.
Tiger snakes are common in southeastern Australia during warm months and are among the world's deadliest snakes. Symptoms of a bite include localized pain, numbness and sweating, followed rapidly by breathing difficulties and paralysis. Of the world's 10 most deadly snakes, all are found in Australia, and the country has around 100 venomous varieties.
Donnelly said the woman was taken to hospital and was recovering well. "I've knocked around race courses a long time, and seen lots of things happen, but this is a first for me," he said.
