Oh My: Torso Delivered to BJ's; Man Should Have Worn a Belt

Our "oh my gosh" police news round-up includes the bizarre, the outrageous, the silly, and the disgusting.

 

BJ's only sells torsos in bulk.

I stole that headline from Westborough Patch blogger Jon McGrath, who commented on a story we had about a woman's torso being mistakenly mailed to BJ's instead of a lab in Florida. "The first clue," McGrath commented, "would have been knowing that BJ's only carries torsos in 12-packs."

Officials correctly labeled the package and it was sent on its way.

Reason 187 why belts are a good idea..

..because if you don't wear one, you might have someone call the police on you for indecent exposure. Shrewsbury police got a call last week regarding a man whose back side was exposed. Officers responded and learned the man was simply wearing loose pants. He said he would put on a belt.

No commentary is needed..

...To introduce this story, featuring a Holliston man who is accused of doing something unbelievably inappropriate on a train.

When he said he was stuck at work, he literally meant, he was stuck at work.

A Milford factory worker called police Monday evening to report he was locked in the parking lot, with the gates closed. Police had to call the man's employer so they could let him out.
