Woman with drawn-on beard robs bank using fake bomb
A woman disguised with a drawn-on beard attempted to rob the Bank of Tuscaloosa on University Boulevard on Friday.
Tuscaloosa Police responded to the scene where they were told a woman with a "drawn-on" beard attempting to look like a man entered the bank and stated she had a bomb while demanding money after placing the device on the counter.
Police say the suspect took an undisclosed amount of money and left the bank, while also leaving the device on the counter. She then left the parking lot in a maroon vehicle, which police say could possibly be a Pontiac Grand Am or similar looking model with tinted windows.
The Tuscaloosa Police Bomb Squad arrived on the scene after evacuating the bank for and disposed of the device. Bomb squad officers determined the device had no explosives inside of it. Investigators from the TPD and the FBI are investigating the case. The FBI said they believe the suspect is the same female that robbed the Regions Bank in Brookwood on July 19.

Inebriated dad slept in passenger seat while 8-year-old son drove on interstate
The Louisiana State Police said troopers arrested a Hattiesburg man after he let his 8-year-old son drive on Interstate 12 near Holden. State police said they received a call shortly after 6:30 a.m. on Saturday about a green Chevrolet pickup truck driving erratically on the interstate in Livingston Parish. The caller told police that a child appeared to be the driver of the pickup.
Troopers located and stopped the vehicle, and they said a boy was driving the truck while his father, Billy Joe Madden, 28, slept in the passenger seat. Police said that Madden's 4-year-old daughter was riding in the backseat.
After interviewing Madden, troopers said they found out that he was intoxicated, and he fell asleep while his son drove from Hattiesburg to Dallas. State police said they arrested Madden and charged him with two counts of child desertion, parent allowing a minor to drive, open container and two counts of no child restraint and no seat belt.
According to troopers, the two children were not injured, and they were turned over to Child Protective Services waiting for a family member to pick them up. Madden was booked into the Livingston Parish Jail, and his bond was set at $1,474.

Father kills six daughters in Pakistan for having relationships with boys
A man in Faisalabad gunned down six of his daughters on suspicion that two of them were in relationships with boys in the neighbourhood. On Tuesday morning, Arif Mubashir called his teenage daughters to his room and shot them while the rest of the family, including their mother, watched.
His wife, Musarrat, called the police after the incident. Mubashir shot the girls after their brother said two of them were in a relationship. He told police officials that he had killed his daughters because they were both “without honour”.
The man said his daughters Sameena, 14, and Razia, 16, were in a relationship with college boys from the neighbourhood and the sisters had helped each other. “I should have been told immediately but the girls sided with each other. They were both corrupt,” Mubashir told Tandlianwala Police Inspector Javed Sial.
Police officials have taken Mubashir into custody and filed a case against him. “He does not regret what he did. He boasted that he would do it all over again if he had to,” Sial said. Pakistan has repeatedly been termed as one of the least women-friendly countries. In June, the Thompson Reuters Foundation ranked Pakistan as the world’s third most dangerous country for women.

British businessman faces jail and lashing for pinching woman's bottom in Singapore
A Briton visiting Singapore was on Friday charged with outraging the modesty of a 30-year-old woman in a Clarke Quay club. Austin Charles Arnold Cowburn, 34, a recruitment executive, is alleged to have grabbed her buttocks in the China One club at 4 a.m. on April 3.
To the prosecutor’s request that Cowburn be bailed out by a Singapore citizen, defence counsel Thangavelu argued that this was prejudicial to people like his client. The lawyer, who goes by one name, said Cowburn was unlikely to know anyone here as he was a tourist. To allow the prosecution time to receive instructions from the Attorney-General’s Chambers, District Judge Christopher Goh adjourned the matter until the afternoon.
When the hearing resumed, the prosecution dropped its demand for a Singapore bailor. Instead, it asked for bail to be set at $10,000 on the grounds that Cowburn did not have a fixed address and the offence was very serious. Thangavelu again took umbrage, telling the court that his client has no fixed abode as he is a visitor.
“There should also be no presumption of guilt, so asking for a cash bail of $10,000 is unjustifiable on the grounds that the offence is serious.” He suggested $5,000 as an alternative and argued that his client, whose passport has been surrendered to the police, was not a flight risk. District Judge Goh set bail at $8,000. If found guilty, he could be jailed up to two years and fined up to $10,000 or caned.

Exploding table shocks family
A woman says her family had a lucky escape when her dining room table exploded embedding shards of glass in nearby furniture. Donna Richardson was making a meal on Sunday when the glass table she bought a year ago shattered, sending sharp glass fragments 20 feet through the air. Mrs Richardson, 41, from Stoney Stanton, said: "It sounded like a bomb had gone off, and I got the fright of my life. My husband was in the bath at the time and he ran down, thinking a car had hit the house.
"There was glass everywhere – with shards stuck into the chairs around the table. Any other day of the week, we would have been sitting round there having dinner – at 5.15pm on the dot – but on Sundays we just get our own meals ourselves, thank goodness." Donna looked on the internet and said she found rare explosions like this could be caused when coated glass, like the sheet in her table, was heated – usually by the sun.
She said she was angry because when she bought the table from the Tesco website, she was never told to keep it out of direct sunlight. The Calida dining table is being sold on Tesco's website for £230. A spokesperson for Tesco said: "We are very pleased that no harm was caused and have said sorry to Mr and Mrs Richardson. We have offered a full refund and a further gesture of goodwill to Mr and Mrs Richardson."
Paul Davis, of Leicestershire trading standards, said cases of exploding glass were extremely rare. He said: "While this is very rare I have heard of it happening to tables and even oven or shower doors – any toughened glass. It can be caused when glass is exposed to sunlight. We would advise that people try to avoid this."

Highland cow stampedes into tyre centre as cattle cause chaos in Glasgow
A herd of cattle rampaged through a suburb after they managed to escape from a nearby country park. Six Highland cows and one bull fled a field in Pollok Park, on the south side of Glasgow, after they were frightened by a dog which had been let off its lead. They damaged cars and terrified passers by in the stampede before being rounded up by police.
The seven runaways headed out of the park, across main roads and travelled for more than a mile into the Battlefield, Queens Park and Langside areas of the city. Local people watched in astonishment as they ran through residential streets. One cow went into the National Tyre and Autocare Centre in Battlefield and became trapped in the tyre storage room.
The animal damaged a customer's car and a vehicle belonging to a staff member. A National Tyre worker, who asked not to be identified, said: "We had just done £200 of work on a Honda car and then had to tell its owner what happened. He didn't believe us at first. We couldn't believe it either."
The cow remained trapped in the tyre centre for more than an hour - under police guard - until it was taken out by animal rangers. The other six cows were also rounded up and put into lorries to be taken back to Pollok Park. Glasgow City Council, who run Pollok Park, said all seven cows had now been returned to their field.
