Boston Blotter: Now That's What We Call Found Footage!

--A mischief-maker stirred up some trouble at the local Wal-Mart. Elaine Imbrogna bought a camcorder whose box had been opened, but she bought it anyway. When she started using the camera, a tape was already inside. She found that the camcorder, instead of being broken, worked all too well. When she hit rewind, she saw footage of a penis.

We've discussed what happens when you incur the wrath of Oprah this week, but we'd like to warn you about messing with another heavy-duty corporation - Wal-Mart. There's a reason so many people write books about Wal-Mart.

--Another perv with a camcorder got in trouble for videotaping a female friend while she was in the nude. The Herald reported that the man, Mark Ryan of Marlborough, just taped the female friend. Either way, he was up to no good. Police arrested Ryan and searched his house. In the search, they found that Ryan videotaped his friends in the shower.

--A wannabe racecar driver led police on an early-morning chase through Attleboro. After four miles and frequent attempts to ram into police cruisers, the law shot the guy in order to stop him from running over an officer. It wasn't Billy Tibbetts. We checked. The individual's name is John Peters, he's from Milford, he's recovering in the hospital, and he faces charges of assault by means of a dangerous weapon and possession of a stolen motor vehicle.

--Cross-dressing dermatologist Richard Sharpe may have been convicted of doing many bad things, such as stabbing his wife in the forehead with a fork and killing her. We'll throw in fashion crime, too, if you've seen pictures of Sharpe dressing as a woman. But, yesterday, a jury found that Sharpe did not plot to have the prosecutor who sent him to prison killed.
