"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek says he snapped his Achilles tendon while running after a burglar who had stolen cash, a bracelet and other items from his San Francisco hotel room.

The 71-year-old Trebek tells KGO-TV that he also injured his other leg while falling down during the chase early Wednesday. He was on crutches later Wednesday when he hosted the National Geographic World Championship at Google headquarters in Mountain View.


San Francisco police Lt. Troy Dangerfield says 56-year-old old Lucinda Moyers was arrested on suspicion of felony burglary and receiving stolen property. The cash and bracelet haven't been found but other items were recovered. Dangerfield says officers found several items near the hotel ice machine.


Trebek is scheduled for surgery on Friday and is expected to be in a cast for six weeks.

Looks like the robber forgot to say "who is" and got hit with a ugly shovel as punishment.

Carrying rubber bullets... in a concealed handgun. /face palm

There's a long list of reasons why that's a terrible idea. Off the top of my head:
1) It's a real gun. People will react as such, including shooting you with their real guns which certainly will not be loaded with rubber bullets
2) Rubber bullets can only be fired (beyond a single shot) out of a revolver because they typically only use the primer and no powder to fire
3) Rubber bullets can still kill people
4) Rubber bullets can also not do squat to someone
5) If you fired rubber bullets out of a handgun at someone, the law would view it as deadly force in all 50 states
 
Why isn't he sitting on an Island getting spoon-fed fruity cocktails in his cabana?

I swear some people with money have their priorites all screwed up....
