Speaking of Pokemon Go, here may be a few reasons why you haven't heard 
anything about it recently.  :D

Can I At Least Catch Catch Pikachu First?

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk James Gassaway for sending in today’s report. 
The Pokemon Go app has only been around for a couple of weeks and it’s 
now caught a bozo in addition to Pokemon. From Milford, Michigan, comes 
the story of bozo William Watkins who was playing the game when it led 
him to a flagpole outside the Milford Police Department building. No 
problem there, except for one small thing. Our bozo was wanted on an 
outstanding warrant and several of the cops recognized him as he was 
hanging around outside the building. He never got the catch that 
Pokemon. He was arrested on the spot.

Hey, Look That Pokemon Is On Top of That Police Car!

The way things are going, we may have to develop a completely separate 
category for Pokemon Go bozos. Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow sent this one in 
from Baltimore, Maryland. It seems our bozo was intently playing his 
game and searching for the elusive Pokemon, all while driving his car. 
And the worst possible thing happened at the worst possible moment. He 
crashed his car…into a parked police cruiser. Fortunately, the cops 
weren’t in the vehicle at the time and no one was injured. The cops were 
nice about the whole thing. No report on whether the Pokemon was caught.

Hey, While You’re Up Here, Can You Grab the Cat, Too

Our list of Bozo Pokemon Go players on parade continues today with this 
story from East Greenwich Township, New Jersey. The local Fire and 
Rescue crew received a call asking for help getting someone down from a 
tree. Yes, that is “someone”, not “something” as in the usual trapped 
cat. When they arrived, they found a woman, smartphone in hand, stuck in 
the tree. Her bozo excuse…she was chasing a rogue Pokemon and climbed up 
the tree in an effort to catch it, only to find herself unable to get 
down. The rescue team retrieved her. No word on the fate of the Pokemon.

All of these were from one week in July 2016 on the Bozo Criminal of the 
Day.  http://www.electricferret.com/bozo/archive/date/2016/07/
