3. Drunk Woman Steals Forklift to Move Car - Friends don't let friends drive drunk, especially a forklift.

In October, a Wyoming State Forestry Division employee was arrested for DUI after stealing a forklift from work and using it to move a car that was blocking her driveway.

Adding insult to injury, Cheyenne Police found a cooler of beer in the cab of the forklift.

4. Peanut Butter and Jelly Bandit Gets Busted - Zachary Munoz was charged with three counts of burglary after the Cheyenne Police Department matched his DNA to a partially eaten peanut butter and jelly sandwich left at the crime scene.

5. The High on Life Yellowstone Vandals - Up until May 14, High on Life were a popular group of thrill seekers who loved to travel and film their experiences.

After video surfaced featuring four members ignoring the posted warning signs and trespassing onto the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, they sparked international outrage and pled guilty to several misdemeanors.

Their once-lucrative clothing business has since been shut down and federal charges are still pending for three of the four members.

NOTE: All suspects in this story are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
