An Oregon man faces a charge of offensive littering, among others, after being arrested following a police chase in Cornelius on Saturday morning.

A deputy who pulled the car over did not pursue, but radioed the information to other deputies. A second deputy spotted the Cadillac and tried to pull him over, but Martin allegedly refused to stop.



While the pursuit was underway, the deputy saw items being thrown out the window. Eventually, the Cadillac stopped. Martin, 26, was arrested at the scene. When deputies went back to pick up what was thrown out of the Cadillac’s window, they found paper money.

75-year-old man arrested after attempting to blow up his son with 3.5kg of dynamite

A German pensioner is being investigated on suspicion of attempted murder after planting 3.5kg (7.7lbs) of TNT in his son's garden, next door to his own home, police said on Monday.

Police in Nußdorf in southern Bavaria were called to a house in the town's Sondermoning neighbourhood late on Friday after a 32-year-old man found the explosives in his garden. The charge was defused and suspicion immediately fell on his neighbour - his father. The suspected bomber was arrested without resistance as he returned home at around 11pm the same evening.



The district court in nearby Traunstein issued a warrant for his arrest on grounds of attempted murder, attempting to cause an explosion and breach of the law on explosives. Neighbours, who had been evacuated from their homes while the explosive was defused, were able to return just before midnight.

Police said that the father had been arrested but could not reveal his motives. In a statement, they said that their search of the area had revealed new evidence which would be used in the prosecution. An expert testimony is being prepared which will detail why the explosive did not detonate and what damage might have resulted if it had.

Full crew of firefighters rushed to rescue kitten found in car engine

After failed attempts to rescue a kitten, believed to be between eight and 12 weeks old, discovered by friends Sam Warrington and Lisa Merry in their car, they called the fire service and a full crew arrived. It took half an hour to safely rescue the creature in a mission involving lifting up the car with airbags.



Miss Warrington, from Aylsham in Norfolk, is now temporarily looking after the kitten which was not injured but came out very dirty. She said: “I had finished helping Lisa clean her holiday cottage in Cley. When we came out we heard this meowing but couldn’t work out where it was coming from. We looked in the bins and in the trees. A car pulled up and a man said it was coming from the car.”

The kitten was trapped in the tray of the engine and the rescue in the Picnic Fayre deli car park attracted a large crowd. Miss Warrington added: “The firemen were very good. They kept the kitten quite calm. It was quite distressed when it was rescued but once everyone had left it calmed down and happily sat in its box.” It is not known if the young animal is male or female or if it is a feral or domestic cat because it does not have any identification.



“It is becoming more settled down now. I have taken on the cat for now until we find the owner but I’m considering keeping it because my two-year-old daughter has been asking me for a cat for ages,” Miss Warrington said. Sarah Whittley, co-owner of the Cley Pinkfoot Gallery, who helped with the rescue, described the kitten as “incredibly cute”. It is not known where the animal got into the engine as Miss Warrington and Miss Merry had been to High Kelling and Aylsham earlier that day.
