Woman Tries To Break Into Jail
An Ohio woman's wish to be behind bars was granted after sheriff's deputies arrested her for trying to sneak into - not out of - a local jail.
Deputies found Tiffany R. Hurd trying to scale a barbed wire fence Sunday morning in a bizarre attempt to gain access to the Butler County Jail in southwest Ohio, WEWS-TV reported.
Sheriff's officers asked the 36-year-old to leave the property - but Hurd refused, telling jail staff, "I want to be arrested," according to the Butler County Sheriff's Office.
The suspected trespasser, undeterred, continued to try to climb the fence in front of the deputies, who say she was clearly intoxicated.
Hurd faces misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. Her bond has been set at $2,500.

Sheep Rapist Sought
Police in Ronneby, Sweden, are on the lookout for an elderly man who has been accused of having sex with a sheep.
The man -- who an eyewitness described as slightly built, between 60 and 70 years and without pants -- was allegedly witnessed in the act by a farm hand who was passing by the field on Monday afternoon.
The witness said the alleged sheep rapist bound the sheep's back legs together to make it easier to commit the act, The Local reported.
It is unknown whether the sheep was injured during the act, which could be crucial to any arrest.
Sweden decriminalized sex with animals in 1944, but perpetrators can be tried for animal cruelty if the animal is deemed to have sustained injury.
Meanwhile, the suspect remains on the lamb

Walmart Madness #39! Rats In The Meat
A Winter Haven woman got the surprise of her shopping life in a
close encounter with the animals in the meat department at the Walmart
at 7450 Cypress Gardens Blvd. "Me and my mom went over there at the meat
and then we saw a rat running up and down the meat," Giles recalled.
She described the rat as about the size of one of the steaks for sale on the rack. "It was shocking and I knew nobody would believe me, so I took a picture of it," Giles said, "[and I] told my mom I wasn't leaving without one."
She described the scene as chaotic as she watched an employee chase yet another rat with a broom and a box. "We went to the checkout and that's when we saw one get caught by the deli," Giles said. "And the checkout lady said there was multiple -- two of them. That was pretty disgusting."

Man Hides Cash In Oven, Guess What Happens
One man probably has learned a costly lesson about where he hides his cash. The unidentified father from Sydney, Australia, sold his car last weekend. The $15,000 (approximately $15,652 in U.S. dollars) in proceeds was earmarked for his mortgage payment and other bills, according to Australian media.
Opting not to squirrel away the loot in a mattress or bury it in his backyard, he decided to hide it his oven, which rarely gets used. Bad move: Turns out, his wife decided to use the oven that day, preheating it for chicken nuggets for their two children and, yes, cooked the cash. "It was everything I had," he told the news station. "I've got nothing to my name. That money was supposed to go towards my mortgage." His wife was equally distraught and, reportedly, could not stop crying when telling her husband after she discovered what happened: The cash was baked into a colorful burnt mess.
The man reached out to his lender and the Reserve Bank of Australia for help. The Reserve Bank advises people to take damaged currency to a bank. According to the Reserve Bank policy, "if several pieces of the same banknote are presented, the Reserve Bank's policy is for each piece to be worth a share of the value in proportion to its size... The combined value paid should be the face value of the original banknote."

The Boys Who Cried "Tiger!"
The teenagers from Augsburg called the police one after another, reporting an escaped tiger in the Siebentischwald forest area.
One even told officers he was calling while sitting in a tree while the tiger prowled around underneath, the Tagesspiegel newspaper said on Thursday.
Another said he was with his children, watching the tiger.
The cops launched a massive hunt for the animal, sending teams of volunteers into the woods, and using a helicopter with heat-detecting camera to try to track the tiger.
Authorities even took to the radio to warn people living nearby to stay indoors while the hunt continued.
The prank was discovered when one of the police officers called back one of the teenagers – and he admitted there was no tiger.
The boys, aged between 16 and 19, appeared before an Augsburg youth court on Thursday and apologised, admitting they invented the story and made the calls.
They had got up to a lot of mischief, said Roland Fink, spokesman for the court. “You do such things when you are young – and you have to then take [the punishment] on the chin,” he said.
The 19-year-old was given two weeks in a youth detention centre, the 17-year-old will join him for a week, and the 16-year-old will spend a weekend there. A second 16-year-old was given a warning and instructed to spend 40 hours taking part in a media project to “improve his sense of responsibility and social competence.”

Cult Eats Raw Human Brain, Makes Penis Soup
Papua New Guinea police have arrested members of an alleged cannibal
cult accused of killing at least seven people, eating their brains raw
and making soup from their penises, a report said Friday.
The 29 people, who appeared in court this week charged with murder and cannibalism, were part of a 1,000-strong group formed to combat errant sorcerers who The National newspaper said had begun charging exorbitant fees.
The cost of a witch doctor revealing a cause of death or casting out an evil spirit was usually 1,000 kina ($475) cash, plus a pig and a bag of rice, but some were also demanding sex as payment.
"It's against our traditional ethics and morals for a sorcerer to have intercourse with a man's wife or teenage daughter," said one local cult leader in the Tangi area, inland from Madang province on PNG's northeast coast.
"That was the main cause of frustration that led to the forming of a group to hunt down sorcerers."
"We ate their brains raw and took body parts such as livers, hearts, penis and others back to the hausman (traditional men's houses) for our chief trainers to create other powers for the members to use," one of those arrested said.
Cult members believe by eating witch doctors' organs, they would attain supernatural powers and literally become bullet-proof.
Madang Police Commander Anthony Wagambie said that 4 of the 7 victims were likely murdered last week, but there were no remains to prove this. He added, "They're probably all eaten up."

Baby Eats 34 Year Old Grandma's Cocaine
<--- The Proud Grandmother
The investigation began when the mother of a 13-month-old south Fulton County boy brought him to Piedmont Newnan Hospital about 5 p.m. Saturday, saying her child had ingested cocaine.
The toddler’s 17-year-old mother is considered a witness and has not been charged, Sgt. Lee Gragg of the Palmetto Police Department said.
“The mother of the child is cooperating with us, and we spoke with other witnesses who stated cocaine was open and unprotected on the table,” Gragg told Channel 2.
Officers were told that the boy, whose name was not released, had ingested cocaine at the home of the boy’s mother and her boyfriend in the 200 block of Elm Street, police said.
The child was transferred to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. He was admitted to the hospital for observation and tested positive for cocaine, police said.
Saturday night, Palmetto police executed a search warrant at the boy’s home, and “evidence was found and collected at the residence,” Gragg said.
The grandmother Ebony Daniel turned herself in about 5:35 p.m. after arrest warrants were issued for her and Charlie Martin, charging both with possession of cocaine, cruelty to children in the first degree and reckless conduct.

Severe Rectal Trauma For Swede
A 31-year-old father of two is in hospital struggling against blood
poisoning after a freak accident at a Swedish theme park on Sunday where
a tow hitch on a children’s ride penetrated his rectum.
“It was a complete shock to the whole body,” the man told local paper Arbetarbladet.
The man had been visiting Furuvik theme park near Gävle in eastern Sweden with his two young daughters aged 2 and 4. The girls were enjoying the park's minicar rides, but the 4-year-old needed some help with operating the vehicle.
“She can’t step on the gas pedal herself, so I lifted her up and jumped on the back of the truck so she would fit in front of me,” the father told the paper.
But while doing so the unsuspecting father failed to see the tow hitch protruding at the back of the vehicle. The man’s jeans ripped and as the hook penetrated the man’s rectum, it injured him internally in the direction of his urethra.
“It was terribly painful,” said the man to the paper.
The man started screaming and tried to move off but his rear end was stuck to the vehicle. Upon hearing his shouting, a theme park employee helped him off the ride, the paper reported.
When finally loose, the man was bleeding profusely from his derriere and was helped to a lavatory where he could wash. He was then given a pair of shorts and work pants by the staff. He was also treated to lunch by the park.
Despite trying to keep a brave face for the sake of his little girls, the man was dreading the looming hour and a half car ride home, according to Arbetarbladet.
When finally back at home, the man started to shiver and soon developed a very high temperature. After seeking medical assistance it was established that he had bacteria in his blood and was subsequently treated with penicillin against the infection and morphine for the pain.

Not Your Normal Cinderella Story
According to a Chief Deputy Lee Weems, 35-year-old Tonya Fattig of
Garnett Ridge Road was driving a 2000 Chevy Blazer on US Highway 441
south near Racetrac. Deputy Brad Williams attempted to initiate a
traffic stop when Fattig "suddenly accelerated to a high rate of speed"
and turned left onto Georgia 15, running a red light, Weems said.
Fattig then pulled into a driveway in the 100 block of North Main Street
and fled on foot into the woods, leaving behind a sandal, he said.
Deputy Williams and Sgt. Shane Partain secured two passengers in the vehicle, a man and a woman. Neither were charged, Weems said.
Then the canine traveling with Deputy Williams sniffed the sandal and led deputies 75 yards away straight to Fattig, who had covered herself with leaves and sticks, he said. The entire incident took place within a matter of minutes.
Fattig was charged with fleeing and attempting to elude, obstruction of a law enforcement officer, driving on a suspended license and failure to obey a traffic control device. She was released on a $4,200 bond.
Weems said during a search of the vehicle, deputies found a small, plastic bag with a white substance that will be tested, and additional charges may be filed.

Man Breaks Into Homes To Watch Porn
A man who police allege broke into Eugene homes to look at pornography on the homeowners' computers has been arrested.
In some cases, lubricant and towels were found next to the computer after 21-year-old Antone Owens burglarized the homes, according to the Eugene Police Department.
The investigation started when burglary victims who lived near Owens shared information about strange break-ins and computer breaches.
In the fall of 2011, a homeowner on Polk Street in Eugene reported an intruder had entered the home and surfed pornographic websites multiple times. In one incident, the homeowner's son woke up to find the intruder in his bedroom, officers said.
In a case from March, a female resident said she returned home and found porn on her computer monitor. She also found lubricant, towels and a cell phone nearby, police said.
When she picked up the cell phone, she saw Owens outside her home's sliding glass door, police said. As she called 911, Owens shouted at her and threatened to break the door, according to police.
He then pulled on the lock, entered the home and threatened to kill her, police said. Owens grabbed the lubricant and the phone before running out the back door.
In a separate case, a man returned home and found Owens inside, police said. When he called 911, Owens ran out of the home, leaving pornography on the monitor and towels next to the computer.

Walmart Madness #34! Stoned Cop Crashes In Lot
The investigation found Deputy Patrick Milosevic was under the influence of a controlled substance and driving a marked sheriff’s office patrol vehicle when he was involved in a crash May 9 in the parking lot of the North Fort Myers Walmart.
The sheriff’s office has not released which prescription drug was found in Milosevic’s system, but an investigation report stated the deputy did not have a valid prescription for the drug.
Investigators determined Milosevic, who was off-duty at the time, crashed his vehicle into another vehicle while in the parking lot and then tried to flee the scene after the incident.
Witnesses said they saw Milosevic driving erratically and well below the speed limit down Bayshore Road leading up to the crash in the parking lot. He crashed into an unoccupied parked vehicle, according to the report.

A Georgia woman has been charged with misusing the 911 system after she called police dispatchers to register a complaint about the quality of a mug shot taken following a prior arrest.
Tonya Ann Fowler dialed police Sunday evening after spotting the photo in “Bad & Busted,” a local publication that compiles images of recent arrestees. The photo that so displeased Fowler, 45, was snapped following an earlier collar.
A Winder Police Department report notes that Fowler dialed 911 on July 15 “in reference to being upset about a picture.” In a conversation with a cop, Fowler explained that she “was upset about how she looked on the front page of the Bad and Busted printing.”
As a result of the 911 call about her mug shot, Fowler was afforded the opportunity to pose for a fresh booking photo since she was charged with unlawful use of 911 and disorderly conduct.
Fowler is pictured above in her latest photo snapped at the Barrow County Detention Center. After spending three days in custody, Fowler bonded out of the county jail yesterday afternoon.

Walmart Madness #33! Florida Flash Mob Attack!
The Wal-Mart off Lem Turner Road in Jacksonville fell victim to a flash robbery when more than 300 people entered the store and destroyed the security system as well as some merchandise. According to the police report, the group destroyed an electronic anti-shop lifting security scanner that costs about $1,500. The police report also stated the massive crowd could have arrived at the store after a party that was broken up on Sampson Road. YouTube video showed the teens throwing food and merchandise around the store. Channel 4's Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson said any sort of crime where there's hundreds of people involved is a dangerous situation. "You've got a large number of people going and coming at the same time they are throwing produce," said Jefferson. "They are stealing items, they are all over the store. You can imagine how fearful the customers were who were in there at that particular time." Police did not make any arrests after the mob of people took over the store. If caught, these teens could face criminal charges. SOURCE
Walmart Madness #32! Another Baseball Bat Attack
A 17-year-old attacked a Walmart loss-prevention worker with a
baseball bat on Sunday after the teen was approached during an
investigation into potential shoplifting, said Lisa Klein, Staunton
Police Department spokeswoman.
The security worker was taken to the hospital with injuries to their ribs, back and hands, Klein said. The worker also suffered lacerations.
Police have identified the teenager and are trying to determine his whereabouts, Klein said.
The teen, who has not been identified due to his age, was with his grandmother in the sporting goods department when the worker approached him around 3:30 p.m., Klein said. The teen then grabbed a baseball bat from store shelves to launch the attack, and left with his grandmother after the worker was incapacitated, Klein said.
A petition had not been issued for arrest as of 6:30 p.m. as police try to locate the teenager, but “if anything is broken it would be a felony assault,” Klein said. No charges for shoplifting are expected.

Naked Man Leaps From Roof, Gets All Bitey
What is it with all the naked crazy people as of late?
Five police officers in Florida over the weekend struggled to subdue a naked 22-year-old man who raised hell at a St. Augustine home and bit one of the residents, according to First Coast News.
The homeowners said they awoke to find their patio furniture destroyed and Jeremiah Haughee naked on their roof. When the homeowner and his son opened the door to confront Haughee, they were both attacked by the crazed man. He allegedly bit one of the men on the stomach as they tried to subdue him.
By the time police arrived on the scene, Haughee was pinned to floor inside the house, covered in his own urine and broken class. Haughee struggled as police tried to arrest him, biting and kicking the officers.
Police had to call for backup and use a stun gun three times before they were finally able to get him in a patrol car. He was put in handcuffs and leg shackles.
He was taken to Flagler Hospital and given a tranquilizer. He was later taken to the St. Johns County Jail, where he faces charges of burglary/assault, aggravated battery, simple battery, three counts of battery on a law enforcement officer and criminal mischief.
Haughee is not being tested to find if he was under the influence of drugs.

Mom Wanted Kids Help In Beating Kittens To Death
<--- Wilana Frazier used an aluminum baseball bat to beat the kittens
mercilessly, the state claimed, while encouraging her own children to do
the same at Hill 'n Dale Park.
One of the kittens died immediately and was found at the bottom of a trashcan. The other feline, known as Dexter, suffered for several months and then died from a severe brain injury.
She claims that she was keeping score at a local basketball tournament. When the kittens ran onto the basketball court, Frazier told jurors that she told neighborhood kids to "take the cats off the court."
She testified, "I felt bad because the cats were killed. I don't kill animals. I don't do that. I'm an animal lover."
When one of the children was asked who beat the kittens, he said, "That's her," and pointed to Frazier, sitting at the defense table.
One child said she saw Frazier's own sons beating and torturing one of the kittens. He described the situation saying that the cat was thrown off a swing, hitting a tree. He also said that the children kicked the feline. Another child described a drowning scenario, where the kitten was breathing until it was drenched with water and then died.
The final child who took the stand and told jurors that he saw Frazier using profanity, yelling and instructing her sons to beat the kittens.

Walmart Madness #29! The Toe Pervert
<--- Joey Leaphart, a 43-year-old registered sex offender whose rap sheet is littered with foot-related crimes.
Most recently, Leaphart was arrested in February after approaching a female shopper at a Walmart in South Carolina and asking if he could kiss and smell her feet.
After asking the teen if her toenails were painted, Leaphart said, ‘I know this sounds crazy, but have you ever heard of America’s Funniest Home Videos?’ When the unemployed woman said she had heard of the show, the man relied that he would pay for her purchases (up to $100) if she agreed to cooperate with a “prank.”
The teen then reluctantly agreed to Leaphart’s request to take a picture of her foot. “I know this is crazy,” Leaphart then said, “but can I kiss your foot?” Cops reported that the victim agreed “under the impression it was a TV prank.”
Leaphart then guided the woman behind a clothing rack, saying, “Let’s move over here so people don’t think I’m crazy.” After dropping to the floor and grabbing the woman’s ankle, Leaphart noted, “Don’t worry, I don’t bite.”
At that point, Leaphart put the woman’s big toe in his mouth and began sucking on it. The woman, investigators reported, “immediately screams at him to stop, and to leave.” Leaphart then stood up and, before running from the store, said, “Oh, it tasted so good though.”

Old Lady Liked To Watch NASCAR With Corpse
A woman said she kept the dead body of
her companion in a chair in their southern Michigan house because she
didn't want to be alone.
Linda Chase, 72, said she kept the remains of Charles Zigler clean and dressed and talked to the body while watching NASCAR on television.
"It's not that I'm heartless. ... I didn't want to be alone. He was the only guy who was ever nice to me," Chase told the Jackson Citizen Patriot.
Jackson police discovered Zigler's body in a living room chair last week. Authorities believe he died of natural causes at age 67 in December 2010, although Chase said it was last December. She said there wasn't a bad smell.
She has not been arrested but is being investigated for financial fraud. Chase admits cashing Zigler's benefit checks after his death.

Dog's Mouth Taped Shut With Toungue Hanging Out
:(
<--- Hope the doggie. :(
Investigators with the Parker County Sheriff’s Office are searching for suspects who tortured and injured a pug-mix breed female dog.
The animal has since been named Hope. A concerned resident spotted the dog wandering in the 6900 block of Baker Road on Monday morning, hurt and frightened.
Animal Control officers on horseback and a group of about 10 residents worked for hours to detain the dog, before finally catching up with Hope late Monday afternoon. According to Animal Control supervisor Karen Kessler, officers found Hope with a severely swollen tongue. Someone had pulled it out of her mouth before using electrical tape to secure the snout shut.
“I see a lot of horrific stuff, I have never seen anything to this magnitude,” said Karen Kessler, Parker County Sheriff Department’s animal control supervisor. “Somebody should recognize this dog, somebody should know where this dog came from. We need them to call to find leads to find out who did such a crime to this animal.”
“This is horrendous,” said Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler in a statement. “I can’t imagine what would bring a person to such an evil act. We are fortunate to have found her when we did. Our investigators have seen some pretty terrible things in their careers, but this case is deeply disturbing and leaves us shocked.”
“If they’ll do this, what [else] will they do? This is crazy,” Fowler added.
Kessler said she felt “somebody cared for her at one point” because the animal is kind to humans.

Walmart Madness #28! Guns, Beer, And Ammo
<--- Derp-e-de-doo-daa!
Rodney Gene Lewis allegedly drank a beer outside of a Winter Haven Walmart before going inside the store, placing his pistol on the counter and telling the clerk he needed ammo, reports News Radio WFLA 970 in Tampa.
Lewis became argumentative after the clerk explained to the 24-year-old man that it was a no-no to sell him ammo for a weapon brought into the store.
When deputies responded, Lewis became even more irate, screaming that it was his First Amendment right to carry his firearm — and threatened the arresting officer with bodily harm when he gets out of jail, according to the report.

Airport X-ray Finds Baby In Luggage
<--- Baby on board!
A married couple were denied entry into the UAE on Friday, when airport security officials spotted a five-month-old baby hidden in their luggage during a routine bag scan.
The Egyptian couple arrived at Sharjah International Airport with their new born hidden in their luggage as they did not have a visa for the baby.
They hid the child in a bag before putting him though a luggage scanner, and were quickly stopped when officials spotted the infant.
‘They were risking the life of the baby’ said a Sharjah Police spokesman.
The desperate couple were arrested at the airport and charged with endangering the baby’s life. The pair had previously lived in the United Arab Emirates as illegal immigrants, but left when the wife became pregnant and wanted to give birth in their native Egypt.
It is not known how the child was put on the aircraft without a passport.

The Caturday Report(er)!
Amazingly, DiDonato remains mostly composed as the cat climbs up the back of her leg, then comes to rest on her shoulder. When the camera cuts back to the news studio in Grand Rapids, Mich., the Fox 17 anchors note that they heard meowing off-screen while DiDonato was preparing to go live with her report.
After the report, DiDonato took to her Twitter account, noting that she's a cat owner ("I actually already have two strays I took home from the last two cities I worked in!"), which may have encouraged the stray to jump into the show:
"Learned my lesson: Never making eye contact with a cat before a live tease ever again," she wrote.

Unborn Baby Causes Car Crash
Guaranteeing a story to be told over and over again when the girl
becomes a teenager and asks for driving lessons, her 32-year-old mother
said a huge kick from the baby caused the accident.
Swiss police said the woman was driving along a country road near Basel, Switzerland, when the sharp kick in her side caused her such pain that she lost control of the car.
She veered off the road, hit a lamppost, causing the car to turn on its side and career into a garden fence where it came to a halt.
The car was so badly damaged that a passer-by had to help the woman get out through the boot of the car.
She was slightly injured and taken to hospital for checks – the baby was perfectly alright, which is more than can be said for the car.

Burglar Lies In Bed With Victims, Wants To Talk
<--- What the conversation burglar may look like.
A burglar suspected to be behind a string of
break-ins at an apartment complex in East Orlando is stealing nothing
and harming no one. The man prefers to lie in bed and talk to his
victims, one alleged victim said.
"He just walked in and laid in bed
with me and started talking to me and having a normal conversation with
me, like (it was) nothing," said an Orlando woman who is the latest
victim of the bizarre crime and did not want to be identified, central Florida ABC affiliate WFTV reported.
The woman, who was not hurt, feared
that the burglar would turn violent on her. She allegedly ordered him to
leave the apartment and he complied.
"I didn't know if I screamed if he
was going to come out with (a) weapon. I couldn't see; it was dark," she
said. "He needs to get caught before it escalates more."
"He comes into my apartment and talks
to me like he's a friend of mine in the middle of the night at four in
the morning. That's not a normal person," said the woman.
Police said the burglar hasn’t hurt
anyone but that they want to arrest him as soon as possible because they
are not sure what he’s going to do next. Investigators are handing out
flyers at an apartment complexes in Dovetail Villas and the Renaissance
Apartments, hoping for a tip.
“He had cologne on he had nice dress slacks on. He's not homeless, mental issues probably," said the alleged vicitm.
"I hope they catch him. He really needs to get caught because he's a psychopath."
The 100% Bacon Burger!
<--- My heart!
California burger chain Slater's 50/50 may be bringing home the bacon, now that its menu features a burger made of 100 percent ground bacon. Not to gild the lily, but the Fourth of July-inspired The 'Merica burger comes topped with a slice of thick-cut bacon, bacon island dressing, and bacon flavored cheddar cheese. It's only nonbacon topping is an impressive sunny-side-up egg.
Foodbeast notes that Slater's 50/50 has already made a name for itself by offering its flagship burger made of half ground beef and half ground bacon. Sadly, the three Slater's stores will only be offering the all-bacon burger through the end of July.
The month-long feature comes on the heels of previous burgers-of-the-month, including a Pulled Pork Burger and a Chili Cheese Frito Burger.
And if the bacon burger isn't enough for you, Slater's offers several other bacon-themed novelties, including a bacon brownie and the Bakon Mary, a twist on the Bloody Mary cocktail featuring bacon-infused vodka, a rim of bacon salt and a slice of thick-cut bacon as garnish.

Man Blames Gropefest On Coffee
A Washington state school bus driver said at his sentencing hearing he groped teenage girls and women because he had consumed too much caffeine.
Kenneth Sands, 51, who was charged with five counts of fourth-degree assault, told the judge at his Tuesday sentencing he had consumed too much caffeine prior to the events of Oct. 18, KOMO-TV, Seattle, reported Thursday.
"That caused a psychotic episode," Sands said. "My son-in-law and daughter had never seen that kind of behavior from myself."
The Lewis County sheriff's office said Sands, a driver for the Rainier School District, was attending a volleyball game in Onalaska Oct. 18 as a spectator, not a driver, when he allegedly touched a 46-year-old woman's breasts three times and grabbed her buttocks when she tried to get away from him.
He also allegedly grabbed a 15-year-old girl's buttocks outside of a bus after the game and slapped a 16-year-old girl's behind as she was boarding the vehicle.
The sheriff's office said Sands got onto the school bus and touched a girl in an inappropriate manner before being kicked off by the driver.
Sands was sentenced to 30 days in jail for each count.
Grannies Pot Cookies Get 3 Year Old Mega High
The grandmother, who has been diagnosed with cancer, had a doctor’s
recommendation for marijuana to treat her pain and to help her sleep,
Sgt. Phil Gomez said. Days before, she had baked THC oil into a batch of
cookies and tucked them away in a garage refrigerator. THC is the
active chemical in marijuana.
Murrieta police were called out to the family’s house in the 24000 block of Cambria Lane about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 30, after the toddler did not wake up despite a long night’s sleep and the family realized he might have eaten the cookies.
An aunt had been babysitting the boy and his younger sibling Friday while the father was out, Gomez said. When the father returned that afternoon, he noticed crumbs on the garage floor but assumed the child’s grandmother had been into the cookies.
The boy was playing and seemed fine, but he fell asleep about 5 p.m., Gomez said. The family did not become alarmed until the next morning when the child was still asleep at 9:30 a.m., Gomez said. He was breathing but they couldn’t wake him up.
At that point, Gomez said, the father mentioned the cookie crumbs and the family put two and two together.
The grandmother told police that a silver-dollar-size bite had been enough to make her sleep.
The boy was admitted to a hospital for observation and later released.
“No one knows how much he ate,” Gomez said.

Sparkler Bomb Blows Up, Blows Off Hands
<--- Real live sparkler bomb in action!
A 19-year-old Kenner man remains hospitalized after a homemade "sparkler bomb" went off in his hands late Tuesday night.
The device, made from 144 sparklers wrapped in duct tape, went off when Daniel Duzac tried to remove the fuse.
The explosion reportedly cost Duzac his left hand, at least two fingers on his right hand and caused severe burns to his arms and legs. The blast was powerful enough to shatter the windshields of three vehicles parked outside Duzac's apartment in the 2700 block of Sharon Street.
Police Chief Steve Caraway says the device exploded when Duzac tried to remove a fuse he had already lighted.

Walmart Madness #25! Shoplifting Shopping List
Police are sifting through more than 180 pieces of evidence after they said a group of people went to Walmart with a list of things to steal.
As usual, Brimfield Police Chief David Oliver has some interesting, and humorous, insight into the bizarre crime.
“I am left to wonder what possesses a person to have them ‘take orders’ for merchandise from their friends and then jump into a vehicle with three cohorts and drive to the Wal-Mart in order to fulfill those requests by stealing everything on the list,” Oliver wrote on the department’s Facebook page.
Oliver said the group spent about five hours doing some “slow-motion looting” at the Brimfield Township Walmart before police were notified about the “suspicious people.”
Here are a few things from the four-page shopping list: Degree deodorant, headphones, six thongs, toilet scrubber, toys for a 2-year-old, “KAKY” pants, “cute” underwear, socks, Febreze candles, “a couple packs of meat”, multiple sets of sheets, water balloons, gift wrap and squirt guns.
Brimfield police said the items were requested by people named “TG”, “Budda” and Alicia. Based on the list, socks and underwear were in high demand.
“Most of this stuff was actually stolen and recovered by Sgt. McCarty and Officer Dumont,” Oliver posted. “I know this, because there are 41 pairs of underwear being entered into evidence as I type this…. Along with some thawed out mozzarella sticks, and 130-plus other random items.”

No Refund? That's A Store Smashin'!
Police were called to the shop at 4.25pm on Saturday after reports of an ‘aggressive customer’. A spokesman for T-Mobile said the incident had started when a customer requested a refund which was refused because the customer was not deemed to be entitled to it. There were seven members of staff and ‘a number of customers’ in the store at the time and all were taken outside the shop while they waited for police to arrive. The spokesman added that the incident was ‘very upsetting’ for staff. The store is still closed while T-Mobile takes stock of the damage but will reopen ‘as soon as possible’. T-Mobile added: “We will of course continue to work to ensure the safety – of both our staff and our customers – is of paramount importance at all times.” Jason Codner, 42, of Cannon Green Court, Salford, has been charged with a public order offence and criminal damage and is due to appear before magistrates on July 31.
Angry Birds Shut Down Mail Delivery
<--- Were gonna get you Canada!
Angry bird attacks became so profound along a street in Winnipeg last Thursday that the mail carriers had to stop service, according to CBC News.
Canada Post said in a statement to customers that “due to the ongoing
safety concern caused by the aggressive crows attacking your letter
carrier" all mail delivery would be temporarily suspended. Officials
were working to find a solution to the avian incursion, the statement
said.
“It’s not a normal hazard our carriers face everyday,” Canada Post representative Steven Keown told CBC.
The seemingly very angry birds have
also started to target residents on the street, dive-bombing them as
they leave their homes, according to victim Bernice Sokol. "He [the
crow] followed me all around. I'm scared to go down the street here,"
Sokol told CBC.
