The drunk Knight leaves hilarious note for drunk man found passed out in car

While passed out over his steering wheel, some saintly stranger took it upon themselves to hide this drunk man's car keys, leave him with a bottle of water and an anonymous note.

The note said: "I found you passed out drunk with your car running, so I hid your keys under the atlas in your back seat. I hope you get home safe. I’m not your hero. I’m your silent guardian. A watchful protector. The drunk knight."

It is unclear what happened to the drunk man, found somewhere in Massachusetts, but the image was posted on Reddit by the "drunk knight".

He also added: "I found this guy passed out drunk with his car running outside of a bar at 3.00am.

"The bars close at midnight where I am, so I tried to wake him up, but he just kept mumbling and continued to sleep.

"I decided to hide his keys in the backseat, just in case a cop came, and left him a note and some water.

Despite his act of kindness the poster still came under fire on reddit for not reporting the man to the authorities for attempting to drive.

After almost 6 hours of interrogation, he made a statement before being released from custody.


 Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mirror after the incident, Fashanu, 52, said:

“I was not arrested - I went to the police station voluntarily. I’ll go back tomorrow morning to the police station. I expect to pay a fine. It was an old fashioned firearm. I don’t actually know what model it is - it’s like a stub gun.”

Fashanu, who is preparing to fight a bitter divorce case against his estranged wife Abigail at Nigeria’s High Court, claimed she called the police in revenge for him ending their marriage.

He is now due to return there by Monday.

Six CBN top officials, 16 others to appear in court for N8bn ‘fraud’

Six top officials of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and 16 others from some commercial banks are to appear before an Ibadan Federal High court tomorrow June 2nd over their alleged involvement in a N8 billion fraud. According to a statement by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the CBN officials and their accomplices who are all currently in the custody of the EFCC, stole and recirculated defaced and mutilated naira notes to the tune of N8 billion.

The notes according to the CBN was to be destroyed due to their bad state. However instead of destroying the notes, the CBN officials decided to replace the mutilated notes with newspaper cutouts in naira sizes and burnt them, pretending they had destroyed the mutilated note. They then returned the mutilated naira notes into circulation. The statement from the EFCC after the cut ..

“The suspects drawn from various business units of the apex bank are to be arraigned by the anti-graft agency before a Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, from Tuesday June 2, 2015 to Thursday June 4, 2015. They include Patience Okoro Eye (Abuja), Afolabi Olufemi (Lagos), Kolawole Babalola (Ibadan), Olaniran Muniru Adeola (Ibadan), Fatai Yusuf, Adekunle (Head, Security, CBN, (Ibadan) and Ilori Adekunle Sunday (Akure). The remaining 16 suspects are drawn from various commercial banks who were found to have conspired with the CBN executives to swing the heist. All the suspects who are currently in the custody of the EFCC are now ruing the day they literally allowed greed and craze for materialism to becloud their sense of judgment and responsibility, when they elected to help themselves to tons of defaced Naira notes. Instead of carrying out the statutory instruction to destroy the currency, they substituted it with newspapers neatly cut to Naira sizes and proceeded to recycle the defaced and mutilated currency. The fraud is partly to blame for the failure of government monetary policy over the years as currency mop-up exercises by the apex bank failed to check the inflationary pressure on the economy. The lid on the scam, which is widely suspected to have gone on unchecked for years, was blown on November 3, 2014 via a petition to the EFCC alleging that over N6, 575, 549, 370.00 was cornered and discreetly recycled by light fingered top executives of the CBN at the Ibadan branch. The suspects, who were members of the Briquetting Panel, plotted their way to infamy on September 8, 2014 while carrying out a Briquetting exercise at the CBN Branch, Ibadan. In banking parlance, Briquetting is disintegration and destruction of counted and audited dirty notes. By this practice, depositor banks usually take mutilated notes to the CBN in exchange for fresh notes equivalent of the amount deposited. The depositor banks, in this instance, are Zenith Bank, FCMB, Wema Bank, Access Bank, First Bank, Skye Bank, Ecobank and Sterling Bank. But while carrying out the assignment, the team was alleged to have found one of the currency boxes filled only with old newspapers rather than 20 bundles of N1000 notes. A similar case, according to investigation, had been discovered on September 22, 2014 when a box that was supposed to contain N500 notes to the tune of N5billion was filled with old newspapers. Unlike in the past, this fraud could not be swept under the carpet, as a member of the Briquetting Panel from the Osogbo branch blew the lid on the illicit deal. In a statement, the informant stated that the exercise was designed to last between August 4 and 8, 2014. The 35-year-old, however, stated that she discovered a strange ‘sight’ while opening the third box on the second day of the exercise. It was a discovery that beat her ken. She added that she confronted the other members of the panel, including Eye, Head, Briquetting Panel; Treasury Assistant; Coordinator and Head, Security, CBN, Ibadan, who all assured her that they would look into it. But she later found out that it was all a ruse. She said she later found out that Eye not only maintained sealed lips over the matter but omitted it from her report. A five-count charge awaits the suspects.”

He gave the Diamond the option of spending 30 days in jail or getting pepper sprayed, she chose to go to jail for 30days. Then he asked her if she wanted a moment to think about it and she agreed, she walked out of the courtroom then came back and agreed to be pepper sprayed.

They gave the burger King victim a pepper spray can to spray on Ms Gaston eyes, he sprayed it but she didn't really feel the pain because they filled the can with water instead of pepper spray.

Ms Gaston didn't have any criminal record so the judge gave her a warning and 3 days of community service.
She apologized to the victim.

However, he said thought the judge was fair
