Retirement home resident arrested for sex in public with younger man
A 68-year-old woman and her younger paramour were arrested last Monday for having sex in a town square at a Florida retirement community.
Responding to calls about the 10:30pm public tryst, sheriff’s deputies discovered Margaret Ann Klemm and David Bobilya, 49, fully engaged in a pavillion at The Villages, a sprawling 55-and-older community in central Florida’s Sumter County. According to investigators, when deputies arrived at Lake Sumter Landing, one of The Villages’s three squares, Klemm was pantsless and had her shirt pulled down. Bobilya’s pants and underwear were at his ankles.
After Klemm and Bobilya, who appeared intoxicated, complied with police orders to put their clothes back on, they were arrested on indecent exposure and disorderly conduct charges for their June 2 romp. Klemm, a resident at The Villages, and Bobilya, who lives in nearby Summerfield, were briefly booked into the county jail on the misdemeanor counts (both were later released on $1500 bail).
They are scheduled for arraignment on July 2. Klemm’s arrest came four days after she settled a prior criminal case. Arrested for DUI, she pleaded guilty to a reduced reckless driving count and was sentenced to a year’s probation. Klemm had been driving a golf cart. The Villages, which describes itself as “Florida’s Friendliest Retirement Hometown,” has more than 50,000 residents.

3,300-year-old trousers found in China may be the world's oldest
Two pairs of 3,300-year-old trousers found in the western Xinjiang region may be the world’s oldest.
Archaeologists found the animal-fur menswear on the bodies of two mummies, identified as male shamans in their forties,in May. An international team is working to repair and preserve the two pairs of trousers – which are the oldest yet discovered with a clear resemblance to the modern trousers.
“They were almost of the same shape as today’s trousers,” Lu Enguo, a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology in Xinjiang, said. Even older apparel resembling trousers have previously been discovered in the region, but they were made based on a more simple design and lacked a piece of fabric covering the crotch, Lu added.
Archaeologists believe nomads living in the area invented trousers for horse riding. The nomads “at first wore a kind of trousers that only had two legs,” said the institute’s deputy head Xu Dongliang. He added that “crotches were sewed on to the legs, and gradually other styles, such as bloomers, appeared”. Previously, the oldest trousers found with a crotch were just 2,800 years old.

Motorised esky driver faces drink-driving charge
Police have charged a man with driving under the influence after he was caught allegedly riding a motorised esky down the middle of the road in Perth, Australia.
Hillarys police were conducted patrols of the area when they spotted the man riding down the middle of West Coast Drive outside the Sorrento Surf Club on Friday night at around 8pm. The esky contained alcohol at the time he was stopped by police.
22-year-old Michael Craft, from Sorrento, said he was on his way to a servce station and didn’t think riding the motorised esky, which can only reach speeds up to 20km/h, on the busy road without any lights would be dangerous.

He reportedly told them he thought riding the motorised esky would be safer than driving his car. He was charged with driving under the influence and will appear in court at a later date.

Curious cat made itself at home inside police car
A curious cat found itself in the back of a police car in the early hours of Monday morning. The feline hopped into the car as officers responding to a call in Carshalton, in the London borough of Sutton, opened the doors.
Sutton police constables Kevin Monk, Liane Walker and Sophie Heywood opened the doors of their patrol car at 4am to see the fluffy white moggy jump in.
The cat quickly made itself comfortable on the parcel shelf, but as PC Monk went to remove it, it grabbed the steering wheel. Unfortunately the officers had to call time on the cat's antics and left it on the pavement as they drove off.
PC Walker said: "When the cat had been removed, it just sat there staring at the car as if it wanted to come back in. "The cat was lovely and looked really happy in the car."

Police search for stolen coughing asthmatic parrot
Police are searching for three stolen
parrots, including an asthmatic one that could die without its medication. The African grey parrots are worth hundreds of pounds each because they talk
a lot. One was heard screaming as the birds were stolen from a home in Saxilby, Lincolnshire, between 8:30pm and 11:00pm on Saturday.
Lots of feathers were found near the scene, and police believe one of the parrots could have struggled free. The parrots all look similar, but can be identified from the phrases they use, and because the asthmatic one coughs. Marlene Cavill, whose husband has had the parrots for 30 years, said: "When anybody comes up they all say hello to you.
"We've got a Dalmatian called Pearly, and Charlie [one of the parrots] says 'Come on Pearly, it's walkies', and 'Pearly is in trouble'," said Mrs Cavill, 71. "Now Pearly is going to miss the parrots. Somebody says they saw these two men, one of them was carrying something covered up and it was screaming.
"That one would be Charlie. The other man had got a bag with him." Her husband, 77-year-old Colin Cavill, said Charlie bites people he does not know, and could have bitten the two men who took him. "I've had them all these years and I've never had any trouble and now somebody comes and gets them," said Mr Cavill.
