Weird but true

A Texas horse owner suspected that someone was more than just fond of Nadia the mare, so he set up a security camera in the corral.

It caught a 43-year-old farm worker who had just been released from prison in April — for having sex with the same horse.

“We have a helluva surveillance tape,” said Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino.

But there’s no law against bestiality in Texas — so the serial horse lover was charged with trespass and animal cruelty.

The verdict is in: Marfa, Texas’ 45-foot-tall neon Playboy bunny must come down.

Perhaps the designated driver should have been the12-year-old. At least the one who was sober.

Troopers chased a car doing 60 mph in a 25-mph zone before it crashed near a Bellingham, Wash., apartment complex.

The driver, 14, was charged with DUI. His passengers included a 53-year-old man, a 15-year-old and two 12-year-olds — all “extremely intoxicated” except for one of the younger kids, cops said.

Oh, this is a fun family.

Hampton, Va., cop Jessica Reynolds says she was driving when her mother tossed a birthday cupcake at her, then tried to choke her.

But Donna Ramsey insists her daughter began the food fight, then kicked her, according to court papers.

Both were charged with assault. No word on what started the family fracas.

A dental assistant and a receptionist allegedly played unlicensed dentist in their boss’ Bryn Mawr, Pa., clinic — luring patients after hours by word of, er, mouth.

It ended when a tooth extraction caused one man 45 minutes of “excruciating pain” and he cried foul to the authorities.
