Sunday at 4:10 am is no time to try to register your child for daycare, Harold Raymond Caswell III found out June 13.
He says he entered the Kiddie Academy daycare in Port St. Lucie, Fla., through an unlocked door looking for help getting his daughter registered, according to police reports.
Uh huh.
Police responded when an alarm alerted them to an intruder, and they found an open side gate and unlocked rear door. Caswell, 38, allegedly walked out the rear door, but ran back in and tried to lock it when he saw police. (Yeah: that'll work!) He reportedly hit an officer with a broom and "at some point" was shocked with a taser.
Police say he had a black backpack with him that contained puppets of a firefighter, a policeman, a doctor, a carpenter, a chef, a rhinoceros, a giraffe and a zebra that belonged to the school. He also had toy elephants, a broom, a radio and a dustpan when he walked out the door.
Not surprisingly, police report Caswell appeared intoxicated.
He was arrested on felony charges of burglary, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting an officer with violence.
And no, we also don't believe the excuse that he was doing research to write the next movie in the Toy Story series. It's been done (and better!)

Tess, remember that this is, after all, Florida (again). And given that it's Lake Okeechobee area, it may well be a high accomplishment on his part.
And the spelling police may have been snarky, but still funny. I'm reminded of the Marvin Gaye song, "I'm Your Pupet".

Not that it really matters, but do any of the articles mention whether or not he really has a daughter?
