Naked woman sitting in tree led to arrest of meth dealer
A call of a naked woman knocking on doors in Trinity, Texas, led to the arrest of her meth dealer.
Sheriff Woody Wallace said dispatch received a call around 6 a.m. of a naked woman beating on a door. Deputies responded but could not find anyone.
Wallace said a second call came an hour later and deputies responded again and found a naked woman sitting in a cedar tree.
As they were coaxing her down, dispatchers received another call, this time of a naked man running around and knocking on doors in the same area. Wallace said they were able to round up both naked people, who happened to be in a dating relationship. "We got them dressed and finally got them to admit they had been on some dope," Wallace said.
Wallace said he asked them who their meth dealer was. "They said they didn't know his name, but they had been texting him," Wallace said. "I said, 'well, text him again.'" Wallace said the couple texted their dealer again and set up another buy. Then Wallace sent two from Trinity police and an investigator to the house. At around 2pm, Wallace said the dealer showed up and met the officers.
They arrested Jacob Walker, 42, of Trinity. Wallace said the couple could have been arrested for public intoxication and indecent exposure, but because they were cooperative and no longer a danger, he let them off. Walker is charged with second-degree delivery of a controlled substance. "We have been developing information about Walker for some time now," said Trinity Police Chief Steven Jones. "This incident happened and we seized the opportunity to bust him."

Man arrested for throwing dildos at teenage girls
A Wisconsin man has been arrested for exposing children to harmful materials after allegedly driving around and tossing sex toys in the direction of a series of teenage girls, police report.
Konrad Peters, 28, allegedly placed the adult toy in the path of the girls and then waited in his car to see their reaction, according to an application to search the Milwaukee home Peters shares with his mother.
The raid of Peters’s residence turned up “33 dildos and multiple sex toys,” officers reported in a court filing.
Police in West Allis, a city outside Milwaukee, opened a criminal investigation last month when two 14-year-old girls reported that a male driver left a “giant purple dildo” in their path as they walked home one afternoon from a local park. The man was “just sitting there staring at them from his car with the driver’s side window rolled down,” reported Detective Jessica Wink. On a second occasion in September, a male driver threw a dildo towards a 15-year-old girl who was walking home from a bus stop.
The suspect then waited for the victim’s reaction, noted Wink, who added that the girl copied down part of the man’s licence plate number. Last week, a 13-year-old girl told police that she was walking home from school when “a dildo was dropped out of the driver’s side of a vehicle.” The girl subsequently spotted the car nearby and “she walked past her house, because she was scared and didn’t want him to know where she lived.” After reviewing home surveillance footage, the teen’s father went out to see if he could locate a vehicle in the neighbourhood matching the one captured on video.
The man spotted a black Honda that matched the suspect vehicle and copied down its plate number (which he then provided to police). The plate, Wink reported, came back to a 2011 black Honda Civic owned by Peters. When officers went to Peters’s home, he declined to answer questions after consulting by telephone with his lawyer. Peters was subsequently taken into custody. The female victims were shown photo arrays, and the 15-year-old “identified Konrad Peters as the male party who she observed tossing the sex toy out of his car.”

Man claims he found surprise dead McMouse at bottom of his cup of McCafé
Ron Morais of Fredericton, Canada, says he got more than he bargained for when he picked up a cup of coffee from a local McDonald’s restaurant on his way to work on Monday.
He was contendedly sipping his coffee until he got to the bottom of the paper takeout cup.
“I always take the lid off to get my last sip of coffee. And when I took the lid off, there was a little bit of a surprise in my coffee cup. It was a dead mouse,” Morais said.
Morais said that wasn’t all that was in the cup. He said the mouse left “a few little, shall we say, presents” at the bottom of it.
Morais then showed a few of his co-workers what he had found. “Unless I had been there and seen Ron drink all that coffee down to the last drop, I would have been, like, 'You're lying,’” said one colleague, Brad Patterson. Jennifer LaHaye, another co-worker who saw the mouse, recalls Morais’s reaction. “’Oh my God, there's a mouse in my coffee,’ is what he says. I turn around and look at him. The first time I looked, I actually looked and it's really, he's not joking,” LaHaye said. “Like is he okay - and after that, I got green to the gills.”
Morais said the idea of drinking an entire cup of coffee with a mouse in it made him feel a little ill. “I kind of had a little queasiness in my stomach,” he said. Jason Patuano, the communications manager for the eastern region for McDonald’s Canada, issued a corporate statement that underscored how seriously the chain takes food safety. “We take allegations involving cleanliness and sanitation very seriously,” the statement said. “Upon learning of this situation, the local franchisee immediately began an investigation, including working closely with the local public health authority who conducted an inspection this [Tuesday] morning following receiving a complaint.”
McDonald's Canada also said a pest control company found no evidence of any rodent issues in the building. “We are continuing to investigate this isolated incident and have reached out to the customer to obtain the product sample,” the statement said. “Until such time as we are able to collect all the necessary facts and laboratory results to conclude a full review, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further. Similarly, we would also caution against jumping to conclusions until more details are available.” Mr Morais, meanwhile, is remaining philosophical about the incident. “I mean, hey, you know. I'm here. And I'm in better shape than the mouse,” he said.

Urban woodpecker has made home in wall of apartment block
An apartment block in Warsaw, Poland, has a new tenant - a woodpecker, who has decided to nest in the wall of the building.
Dr. Andrew Kruszewicz, ornithologist and director at Warsaw Zoo, says it is not easy to remove the new resident because the woodpecker is a protected species.
"You can not scare them, it's illegal," he said.

He advises the use of helium balloons, artificial crows or teddy bears. Placing them near the nest worries the woodpecker, who eventually decides to relocate.

Man with 8-year-old daughter naked in woods says he was testing her resistance to the cold
A dad who went missing with his daughter for two days is under arrest after both were found naked in a forest where he said he was testing her cold resistance levels.
Postal worker Jan Magusin, 38, and daughter Nina, 8, had sparked a full scale search operation after disappearing from the family home in the town of Banovce nad Bebravou in north-western Slovakia.
Over 200 police officers were called in to search for the pair after wife Marcela, 36, found he had not dropped their daughter off at school and had not turned up to work at their local post-office.
They were discovered after cyclist Josef Hanzlik, 30, spotted the naked dad crawling around on his knees on a forest bike path and his semi-naked daughter wearing only her underwear in a nearby bush. He said: "It was one of the most bizarre and disturbing things I have ever seen. I understand he is a postman, maybe he wanted to pretend being a dog for a change but either way he was completely naked and on all fours crawling towards the girl in a bush. I could see she was shivering and they were completely oblivious to me."
When police arrived at the spot 5km from where they had found Magusin’s abandoned car, he became aggressive and had to be restrained. A police spokesman said: "At first he seemed very confused but quickly turned aggressive and shouted abuse at the officers before trying to run off. After being caught he said he was testing his daughter’s resistance to cold weather and it was none of our business how he did it." The pair were taken to hospitals in the nearby Slovakian capital of Bratislava and the girl was discharged shortly after.
Dana Kamenicka, spokesman at the Children’s Faculty Hospital in Bratislava where Nina was treated said: "She had scratches on her body but other than that she seemed fine and there were no reasons to hospitalise her. She was sent home with her mother." Magusin was taken to the psychiatric ward of the University Hospital of Bratislava where he is undergoing psychiatric tests. His uncle Marian Misunda said: "I am completely shocked by the things my nephew has done." Other relatives said he had recently joined the Scientology sect and was having problems with his wife, also a postal worker. Police say they will wait for the outcome of the doctors’ diagnosis before deciding whether to charge Magusin or not.

Fox trashed pub after falling down chimney
Pub staff who feared a night-time raider had broken in and helped himself to snacks caught the culprit cowering under a seat.
Bartender Tim Carter opened up The Beehive in Swindon, Wiltshire, to find a trail of broken glass, soot from the chimney and shredded crisp packets
He spent two hours cleaning up and was wiping the floor when his hand came within an inch of a furry ball under a bench.

Tim jumped back in surprise and found a fox hiding underneath - and in no hurry to leave the pub. He called on colleague Ian Hurst and manager Andy Marcer and between them they pushed the fox out of the door with a broom. Tim said: "It made me jump. I went to pick up one of the things that were chewed up and it was an inch from my hand. We expected it to be a rat, or a dog.
"When I came in I started picking everything up and Andy came at 11.50am and that's when we realised the fox was there. It was hiding under a bench and watching us." Tim suspects the fox broke in through the chimney because of the cluster of black soot and strange prints around the fireplace. He also found the curtains had been chewed and what appeared to be animal droppings.

Andy added: "We found a bit of damage when we came in and found the culprit under the bench. We think he came through the chimney. There is a lot of soot around it and footprints. The damage was nothing major, just a few little things." Tim added: "He seemed quite happy in the pub. It didn't want to leave but we got him out."

Police called out to report of escaped crocodile in Plymouth discovered inflatable toy
Police and wildlife experts were called to a garden after reports of an escaped crocodile only to find it was an inflatable toy.
A mother-of-one was horrified to spot the 3ft (1m) green reptile outside her kitchen window in Plymouth, at 12.20pm on Wednesday.
She asked two neighbours for assistance but called police after they agreed it was too dangerous to approach the creature unarmed.
Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police attended and called a team of wildlife experts from Dartmoor Zoo, who set off with snare poles, nets and riot shields.
The officers threw water over the crocodile from a safe distance and gingerly approached when it did not move.
It was then that they realised it was an inflatable toy. It was removed from the garden and placed in police custody, while the Dartmoor Zoo team were stood down. "I was making my lunch in the kitchen and looked out into the back garden," the home owner, who did not wish to be named, said. "It was pouring with rain and I saw what I thought was a crocodile in the garden. I went to my neighbour's house to ask if they would come and have a look at it. They did think it was a baby crocodile and suggested calling the RSPCA or the police but we decided to call the police as I have a three-year-old and was worried.
"A policeman and a policewoman arrived and at that point we were all a bit suspicious because it hadn't moved. One of the police officers bravely went out to have a look. They threw water on it and it didn't move. I'm absolutely mortified." A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed that officers attended the incident following the woman's call. "We received a call from a concerned member of the public reporting that an escaped crocodile was in their garden, approximately 3ft in length," the force spokesman said. "The caller was concerned for her child and the RSPCA and Dartmoor Zoo were informed and on their way to the zoo.
"Police officers attended and bravely investigated. The beast turned out to be an inflatable toy crocodile. Police have apprehended the crocodile." A spokesman for Dartmoor Zoo said experts were regularly called out to deal with escaped pets including lizards and snakes. He said the zoo received a call from police at around 12.30pm and assembled a team to attend the garden within 15 minutes. "The team were on the road with all the equipment needed," the zoo spokesman said. "They were halfway there when we received a call from the police to say it was a toy. Our team have a variety of equipment to deal with such situations, including snare poles, nets on poles and riot shields. We also have dart guns but did not bring them on this occasion."
Many thanks Paul!
