 -- E L D O R A D O, Ark. — Some friendly advice for Clinton Evers and John Glenn Carelock: Next time you go to Wal-Mart, hold your horses.

Evers, 23, pleaded guilty Monday to public intoxication and disorderly conduct for an incident earlier this month, and was fined $400. Carelock, 20, pleaded guilty to public intoxication and was fined $200.

The two admitted riding their trusty steeds into the food section of the discount store on April 7. Confused store employees called police, who stopped Carelock but watched Evers ride off.

The officers caught up to him on a nearby road soon after, as a crowd gathered to watch.

Officers noted a pile of horse manure in one of the store aisles.

Union County District Judge George Van Hook was not amused by their antics, saying the stunt could have been dangerous. Dressed in cowboy boots and jeans, they seemed somewhat chagrined before the court.

When asked why they did it, Carelock admitted: "I really don't know."

Both men were also ordered to write letters of apology, to be printed in the local El Dorado News-Times.

Semi-Nude Rude Awakening

G U L F P O R T, Fla. — He should have known it was too good to be true.

Allen Smith told police two beautiful women knocked on his door around 5:30 Sunday morning, asking to use the phone. The attractive pair — a blonde and a brunette — said they had car trouble, and had noticed the lights in Smith's house were on.

Not surprisingly, Smith — who had been up watching TV while his wife was sleeping — agreed to let them in.

Smith said he asked them to leave a short while later, however, when their behavior struck him as odd, and an hour later he noticed his wallet was missing from a table by his recliner.

Smith then called police.

The truck driver's story became more elaborate when he talked to the St. Petersburg Times, however.

Smith told the Times that both women had told him, "It's OK, we're not armed," and then lifted their shirts to expose their breasts.

He said he remembered thinking, "The boys at the bar will never believe this."

Police say he didn't mention any flashing when he filed the report.

"The officer does not indicate anywhere in the report that anybody got flashed," said George Kajtsa, a spokesman for the St. Petersburg Police Department.

"It may have happened," Kajtsa continued. "We're not saying it didn't, but he didn't indicate it to the officer and it wasn't in the report."

In any case, Smith says he lost his ATM, Visa, and Sears cards, along with $56 in cash.

Using Your Head Against a Robber

N E W P O R T B E A C H, Calif. — Football helmets can offer protection off the field, too.

Three roommates living in Newport Beach, a coastal community near Los Angeles, told police they fought off a would-be robber by slugging him with a Miami Dolphins helmet last Friday morning.

The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m., when a man entered the apartment and pulled a gun, the men told police.

The man apparently knew the victims — Wayne Corder, 34, Darren Smeltzer, 34, and Parry O'Keefe, 42 — said Sgt. Steve Shulman, a Newport Beach police spokesman. After being allowed inside, he produced the firearm and demanded cash. The victims said he ordered one of them to bind the other two with duct tape.

"They ended up struggling for the gun," said Shulman. "One victim struck the suspect over the head with a football helmet."

The beating sprayed blood around the apartment and sent the would-be robber running. He fled in a red Mazda sports car.

Police are continuing to search for him.
