Police officer found wanted man hiding in a dark closet eating salad
A wanted man tried hiding from police, but it didn't work out so well. A McMinn County deputy found the suspect hiding in a dark closet eating dinner.
Timothy Black, 54, of Sweetwater, Tennessee, was already wanted for stealing a car and shoplifting in Monroe County. When the deputy found him in someone else's closet, Black put his hands up - fork in one hand, dinner in the other.
"Mr. Black was in a closet, evidently enjoying a bowl of salad," said McMinn County Sheriff Joe Guy. It's not a typical way police find a wanted fugitive, he said. But that's how a deputy found the suspect at a home in the home, where "Welcome To This House" is brightly painted on the front deck. Deputy Dillon Presswood got word Black was wanted on several warrants, and was hiding out in the house.
"Especially if someone is taking some action not to go to jail, that raises an officer's awareness a little bit," Guy said. Presswood got permission to go inside and look around. Once he found Black enjoying his salad in a dark closet, he told the suspect to put his hands in the air. Black did - his fork in one hand and salad bowl in the other. "He was able to finally get (Black) to put the fork down, because that could potentially be used as a weapon," said Guy.
"And I guess a salad could, too," he laughed. Black was wanted for shoplifting and theft over $1,000. He dropped his salad, was told to lie on the floor. and was arrested on the spot. Although it was an odd arrest, Guy said he's just glad no one was hurt. "At least he was eating healthy," he said. Black was also charged with aggravated domestic assault. He remains in the McMinn County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

Puppy recovering after being found in alleged drug dealer's pocket
A puppy is recovering at the vet after she was found in an alleged drug dealer's pocket.
Police in Lawrence, Massachusetts, had just finished a drug bust and were booking the alleged criminals when they searched one person's pocket and found the tiny dog.
"I was actually shocked at how tiny she was, she didn't have any teeth and was just like a tiny loaf,” Alexis Bywater, the dog's foster mother, said. Her foster parents decided to name her Pocket. Pocket, who's only about 3-4 weeks old, was doing okay until she ran into some trouble on Sunday night.
"She was vomiting and she was pretty dehydrated and lethargic,” Dr. Kristina DePaula from Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners said. It's not clear what caused the health scare but her vets say she'll be fine. They also say a puppy this young should be with her mother. "It's probably best that she be with her mother so she can still suckle and nurse so she can get that attention,” DePaula said.
The good news is Pocket is getting plenty of attention now, she's the star of the emergency room. Even though she's pocket-sized, vets say you should never put a puppy in that position. "It's not ideal at all, they can suffocate in the pocket so it's not a good place to be,” DePaula said. Vets say she can go back into foster care in a few days and hopefully be adopted in the near future.

Court orders homeless woman to spend nights at railway station
A homeless woman in Rome, Italy, who has had several run-ins with police has been ordered to spend her nights at a train station in the city, as that was the only address she could give the court.
The 38-year-old homeless woman, named only as Laura, is regularly seen sleeping in the lobby of Trastevere railway station in central Rome. So when she was asked to give her official address to the authorities after a series of run-ins with police, it was the first place that came to mind.
As a result, Laura must now spend her nights at the station under “special surveillance” from 9pm until 7am in the interests of “public security”. Any attempt to go beyond the limits of the station could result in her immediate arrest.
But while the arrangement may have complied with the court’s bureaucratic requirements, staff at the station weren’t so impressed. When staff approached the woman to tell her to leave so that they could close the station down for the night, the woman took out a notice from the court requiring her to stay within the station at night.

Man who went on shop rampage stood on his head in court dock but was ignored by everyone
A man who pulled hair out of a policewoman’s head and assaulted a staff worker in a Penzance health shop
stood on his head for several minutes while he was in the dock at Truro Magistrates’ Court.
Because of the construction of the secured area, all that could be seen of him from the court room was his two legs upside down and his feet.
He said nothing, remaining in that position for some time, before then taking his seat.
His action was ignored by the court and the case proceeded, continuing until he sat down again of his own accord.
He was Bhupinder Singh Goraya, aged 44, of Penzance, Cornwall, who had told the police he was a freeman of the land and did not follow English laws or the Sovereign. He pleaded guilty to two offences of assault and one of criminal damage. Alison May, for the CPS, said Goraya went into the Holland and Barrett shop at about 3.15pm, followed by a woman who asked shop staff to lock the doors behind him to detain him because he had been causing trouble in a public house.
When Jak Hodgkins, a staff member, asked Goraya what was up, defendant said to him: “I’ll f****** do you”, swinging a bottle of oils he was holding at him and hitting him on the head with it. He started throwing bottles from the shelves at the woman from the pub and one was smashed. An off duty police officer, PC Liston, who was in the shop, told Goraya three times who she was and that he should calm down, but he continued to throw things around and wave his arms. She took him to the floor and restrained him, and while down, he grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled it out, causing her extreme pain.
He then grabbed a silver chain she was wearing and broke it. He was shouting vile and abusive language all the time. Goraya told the police when they arrived that he had got drunk at the Seven Stars pub. When he drank he got aggressive and “bolshie”. He described hitting Mr Hodgkins in the face as “a joyful thing to do”. He had a previous conviction and some cautions. Goraya, who said he was a writer, had little to say for himself in court, and was given a year’s community order and told to do 180 hours of unpaid work. He was also given a drink banning order for a year, made to pay £150 compensation to the police officer, £50 to Mr Hodgkins, £24.99 to the shop, and £145 costs and surcharge.

Woman got head stuck in bottle bank
A woman got her head stuck in a bottle bank at a Southampton car park on a night out with friends early on Friday morning.
The woman, believed to be about 20 and a student, had been partying with friends in the city centre when she got her head stuck in the bin outside the Civic Centre.
Fire crews were called to the scene at about 3am where they found the woman surrounded by friends and unable to pull her head out of the recycling bin. Crew manager Chris Rashleigh from Redbridge station was one of those called to bring specialist equipment to set her free. He said: “I think it was student night, I imagine she was looking for more drink.
"I think she had been there for a little while by the time we got there. A firefighter was supporting her while she was stuck. She was in a very comfortable position. Her feet were touching the ground. She said it was dark and smelly, she'd obviously been drinking.” Mr Rashleigh added that her head was sore - from being stuck in the bin. Eventually, with the aid of a firefighter, she was able to pull herself free of the bin.

He said: “We were there for about five minutes making a plan to cut her out. The crew had tried to cut around the plastic bin with a saw. I was explaining what equipment we had when all of a sudden she was free.” She was not treated for any injuries. Mr Rashleigh said she was “very embarrassed” to be stuck in the bin for such a long time. “She was very relieved to come out. She said 'I will never do that again.'”
