Mid-Daily Items: Governor meets overzealous bouncer



Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire is taking it as a compliment: She was turned away from a bar in the state capital because she couldn’t prove she’s of legal age to drink.

The 61-year-old governor and her staff had served burgers at the annual Capital Lakefair last weekend and afterward went to a downtown Olympia bar called Hannah’s to celebrate.

Gregoire says the man checking identifications at the door told her she couldn’t get in without ID, even when others pointed out she’s Washington’s governor.

The governor tells Seattle’s KING-TV she feels complimented the bouncer thought she might be under 21.

Hannah’s owner, Todd Ruzicka, says his 23-year-old part-time bouncer needs just a little more training.

- State police at Selinsgrove said today that are investigating a retail theft that apparently involved a very specific shopping list.

The theft occurred overnight from July 27 to July 28 at Scott's Berry Farm near Winfield.

Police said someone took six watermelons, 10 dozen eggs, six bottled waters, 10 bags of peanuts, 15 pounds of bananas, and four carrots.

Anyone with information on this grocery bag theft is asked to contact state police at Selinsgrove.

— Police in Peekskill. N.Y. say two drunken friends crashed their pickup truck into a parked car in New York City’s northern suburbs and then drove down the street and crashed it again.

Detective Sgt. Eric Johansen says he’s “never seen anything like it.”

The crashes happened over the weekend.

Police say one of the men couldn’t pull the truck free of the parked car he had hit so his friend hopped behind the steering wheel. They say the friend freed the truck but then drove it into another car parked down the block.
