Community searching for dog with water container on its head
Residents of Ferndale in Pulaski County, Arkansas, are searching for a dog with a water container stuck on it's head.
The animal was first spotted last month. There's a hole on top of the container, so the dog can still drink and eat.
But, animal rescue volunteers haven't seen the unfortunate hound for a couple weeks and fear she could be injured.
Anyone who spots the dog is asked to call the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department.

No explanation offered as to why drunk driver was dragging tree behind his truck
A Florida police officer was sitting in a parked cruiser late on Monday night when an approaching truck caught his attention.
It could have been that the truck was speeding, perhaps it was the loud noise and the sparks that were flying from the rear as a chain bounced off the asphalt. Or maybe it was the tree that the driver was dragging as he drove along. The officer stopped the driver, later identified as Daniel Totulis, 21, of Gainesville, at around 11am at the entrance to the Apple Tree subdivision.
Totulis had glassy eyes, slurred speech and a strong odour of alcohol, according to a police report. Totulis told officers that he wanted to take a test to see if he was drunk. The officers conducted a field sobriety test and Totulis swayed while trying to stand, missed his nose with his finger two out of four times, and refused to walk a straight line.
During the test, Totulis told the officers to take him to jail because he knew he should not have been drinking and driving. He offered no explanation for why he was dragging a tree down the street late at night. He was arrested on a charge of DUI after his breath tests registered .190 and .185, twice the legal threshold in Florida for DUI.

Man used phone in shoe to film up woman's skirt
A Florida man is accused of recording up a woman’s skirt at Walmart with a camera that was inside of his shoe, according to the Sanford Police Department.
Police say Paul Senzee, 40, walked up behind the victim several times and used a smartphone in his shoe to peek under her skirt at the store in Sanford on Tuesday night.
The accuser says Senzee was following close behind her in a store aisle, and when she looked back, he quickly turned in the other direction. In the checkout line, she says he was there again, without any merchandise. At that time, she says she noticed a hole in Senzee's shoe.

She confronted Senzee and asked him to show her his shoes. He refused, and began to walk away, police said. She yelled, and another man approached to help. Officers arrived at the store and arrested Senzee. He was charged with video voyeurism. Police said there are more victims.

Car containing man, dog, 40 chickens, AK-47, improvised explosives and marijuana rolled over
Just before 4am on Friday, Seth Grim was driving a Ford Explorer with Pennsylvania plates and rolled it over on Interstate 79 near Amma, West Virginia. A dog tried to jump out of the window, which might have helped cause the wreck.
Unfortunately, the dog later died and Grim was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to his upper torso. In the back of his explorer were 35 to 40 chickens along with an AK-47 and a large amount of ammunition.
Also in the back of his vehicle was a device that police were extremely concerned about. The "improvised explosives" prompted a higher level of response. The West Virginia State Police Bomb Squad out of Williamson were sent to the scene and removed the device.
Initially, all of the chickens were reported to have made it out alive, however it is believed some of the chickens died. Grim, 21, is being charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Officers saw a quart jar of what they believed to be marijuana in the front seat. He's being held in the South Central Regional Jail on a $25,000 bond.

Man killed wife over delay in serving tea
A 56-year-old Indian man killed his wife in Odisha, formerly known as Orissa, as she delayed serving him tea, police said on Friday.
The incident took place on Wednesday at Guhalipal village, about 110 km from Bhubaneswar but came to light after police arrested the man a day later.
The trouble started on Monday morning when accused Mahalia Nayak asked his wife Jhana to serve him tea. Enraged by the delay he had a heated argument with her, investigating officer Dasarathi Nath said.
The trouble intensified when the man continued to argue with his wife after she refused to cook and serve him food, he said. Nayak raised the issue on Wednesday night and killed her with a sharp weapon, Mr. Nath said. Police have arrested Nayak after he confessed to the crime, he said.

Koala revived with mouth-to-mouth and heart massage after being hit by car and fall from tree
Firefighters and wildlife workers in Australia have revived an injured koala with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after it was hit by a car and later fell from a tree where it was taking shelter.
Emergency crews received a call on Thursday night about the injured marsupial at Langwarrin in Melbourne's south-east. When rescue workers tried to pluck the koala from the tree, it plummeted about 10 metres to the ground. Armed with a blanket, quick-thinking firefighters caught the koala, nicknamed Sir Chompsalot by the Country Fire Authority, before he hit the ground.

Langwarrin fire brigade captain Sean Curtin said fire crews and wildlife authorities quickly got to reviving Sir Chompsalot. "Wildlife Victoria actually performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the koala and one of the other members was actually pumping the koala's chest to get some movement in the heart and also get some air into the lungs at the same time," he said.
"We put it on O2 oxygen therapy to assist in getting some oxygen into the blood flow of the koala." Captain Curtin said it was lucky some of the members on scene had previous experience in reviving animals. "One of the members ... had performed CPR on a dog previously," he said. Sir Chompsalot was successfully resuscitated and taken to a local animal hospital where he is recovering.

London landlord fined for renting room that could only be entered on all fours
Tenants in a north London house were forced to crawl on all fours to access their rented room.
Barnet council took the landlord of a house in Sunningfields Road, Hendon, to court after discovering he was renting a room which could not be accessed standing up. The head height along the course of the staircase was between 0.7m (27.5 inches) and 1.2m (47 inches) high and the door to the room was also reduced in size.
Even a three-year-old child of average height would not be able to walk upright all the way up the stairs. Barnet council first issued a prohibition order against landlord Yaakov Marom in February 2012 which banned him from letting the second floor room of the property. Environmental health officers were concerned the poor access could impede the tenants’ escape in the event of a fire.
But Marom failed to comply with the order and when council officers visited the house with police officers in September last year they found the room was still in use and being rented by a couple for £420 a month. Earlier this month at Willesden magistrates court Marom pleaded guilty to failing to comply with the prohibition order. He was ordered to pay a £1,500 fine, £1,420 in costs and a victim surcharge of £120, a total of £3,040.
Councillor Tom Davey, chairman of the housing committee at Barnet council, said: “At the very least tenants have the right to expect that the accommodation they are renting is safe. Barnet council is keen to work with landlords and help them to provide safe accommodation. However, those who exploit tenants for financial gain will not be tolerated and the appropriate action will be taken.” Rented property is subject to strict rules on size and standards, but as demand from tenants has taken off, some landlords have cut corners to cash in.
