Weird News: Tuesday July 9th

A Florida Man who was released from jail Monday was sent right back to it after attempting to break into 26 different vehicles in the jails parking lot.

68-year-old Dennis Libonati was seen on surveillance video going from vehicle to vehicle and pulling on door handles in the jail parking lot.

Libonati was also seen attempting to steal two sheriff’s office vehicles, as well as an ATV used by deputies which he hot-wired.

This week, the legendary soul singer Patti LaBelle was honored with her own Philly street. The section of Broad Street between Spruce and Locust Streets was renamed Patti LaBelle Way in a ceremony that celebrated the singer, who hails from Southwest Philly.

But the Streets Department misspelled LaBelle’s name in the signs it installed at the intersection, leaving out the capital B in her last name. According to Deana Gamble, the communications director for the city, the Streets Department is aware of the error and plans on installing signs with the correct spelling next week. (The sign that LaBelle autographed and held up at the ceremony featured the correct spelling.)
