Man arrested on suspicion of exposing himself to women at mall says he was extreme shopping
A man was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of exposing himself to at least two women at the Seminole Towne Centre mall in Sanford, Florida.
Christopher Durrell Glaze, 27, was arrested on charges of indecent exposure of sexual organs. According to Sanford police, a woman said Glaze exposed himself to her.
Another victim said Glaze pulled down his pants and also exposed himself to her, too, according to police. Officers questioned Glaze, who said he was "extreme shopping," which he defined as "when you go shopping and you talk to girls and flirt," according to police.
Glaze was asked if he had exposed himself to anyone, and police said he told them that he showed some girls his stomach before admitting that he showed a girl his penis. Sanford police said Glaze smirked at them when he admitted to exposing himself to pick up girls. Glaze was arrested and taken to the Seminole County jail.

Uncle accused of stabbing nephew over pork chops
An argument over pork chops turned violent and bloody between relatives in Florida on Monday night.
Fellsmere police arrested Billy Wall for stabbing his nephew with a butcher's knife two times in the abdomen.
The two were apparently arguing over how many pork chops each person would get to eat. Officers responded to the victim’s house just before eight o’clock. The victim, Charles Williams, came stumbling out the front door as police arrived. Wall was tracked down and arrested at his neighbour’s house a block away.
That neighbour, Carolyn Bibbs, said that Wall came to her door covered in blood and asking for a change of clothes. “He was drenched with blood because I seen it all down his leg,” Bibbs said. ”I ain’t givin’ him no clothes to put on.” Police said Wall claimed self-defence as he was being put in handcuffs. “He kept saying ‘I stabbed him’,” Bibbs said. “He say, ‘He try to get a machete at me and cut me with a machete and I stabbed him.”

Wall was arrested on aggravated battery charges. The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office processed the scene and officers recovered the machete. The knife has yet to be recovered. Family members saidthat Williams had to undergo emergency surgery because of liver damage. Thankfully, the blade barely missed an artery and Williams is expected to survive, according to his family. The investigation remains active and additional charges may be filed, according to police.

Air Force member arrested after giving police officer a double wet Willy
An intoxicated member of the Air Force was arrested early on Saturday after he gave a Minnesota police officer a double “wet Willy.”
As a Mankato Department of Public Safety officer was speaking with a municipal bus driver at around 2:20am, the officer “felt two fingertips that were obvious to him as wet with saliva being pushed into his right and left ear canals,” according to a probable cause statement. The officer turned around and saw a tall white male walking away.
“I just gave the cop a wet Willie,” the suspect said as he joined a group of his friends. The officer confronted the man, later identified as Riley Swearingen, a 23-year-old who was home on leave from his post at North Carolina’s Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base. Swearingen told the officer that the “wet Willy” was a joke for which he was sorry.
Swearingen, who smelled of alcohol and appeared drunk, was then arrested. When asked what would happen if he gave a “wet Willy” to a military superior, Swearingen “admitted it would be a very big deal.” Swearingen was charged with felony assault on a police officer, misdemeanor assault, and disruptive intoxication. During a court appearance on Monday, Swearingen pleaded guilty to the drunk charge and was sentenced to the three days he had already spent in custody.

Bear cub went for a wander around pharmacy
Shoppers at a southern Oregon pharmacy were surpised when a brown bear cub walked into the store.
Luckily, they had the cell phone cameras rolling as the bear cub was captured wandering the halls of an Ashland, Oregon Rite Aid on Sunday afternoon.
But the quick stop at the drug store was apparently just part of the little guy’s adventure that day. The bear first wandered into Ashland that morning and made his way into a nearby Super 8 motel.
After roaming the halls and entering one of the rooms, the cub jumped through one of the windows and made his way across the street and into the Rite Aid. That’s when Robin Bishop, one of the shoppers at the drug store chain, whipped out her cell phone and started recording.

After several minutes, police were able to capture the curious cub – ironically, under a shopping basket. The bear is now under the care of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Because of its close contact with humans, the cub can no longer be released into the wild, so they’re looking at options for caring for the bear, including a rehab centre or a zoo.

Driver with no use of his legs used walking stick to operate car's pedals
A man with no use of his legs has been caught driving in Auckland, New Zealand, using a walking stick to control the pedals, police say.
Police criticised the disabled man for his "blatant disregard for his own safety" and charged him with dangerous driving.
The man was driving with one passenger who had no legs and another passenger who had a disqualified drivers licence, they said. The man was pulled over in Manukau on Wednesday morning at an automatic number plate recognition checkpoint. Sergeant Mark Fleming described the offending as a "very unusual".
The man was driving a regular vehicle without hand controls, but was using a walking stick to operate the brake and accelerator, Fleming said. "Needless to say this was a very surprising thing to come across." The man has held a learner licence since 2002. He also had two passengers, neither of whom were licenced to drive. Fleming said the man put himself and other road users in danger.
"Operating a vehicle with a stick is an extremely dangerous practice and it would be impossible to safely control a vehicle in this way." He said it was very disappointing to see that in spite of the efforts made by police there were still people out there who were taking these kinds of unnecessary risks with people's safety. The 31-year-old man is due to appear in the Manukau District Court next month.

Man bitten despite attempting the ‘stand still snake trick’
Jono Roberts from New South Wales in Australia thought he was doing the right thing by standing still as a snake approached him.
According to most sources, standing still is the appropriate course of action in a snake encounter.
However, as Mr Roberts discovered - it can still end in a snake attack. Mr Roberts said he tried the 'old stand still trick.' “Always show respect and never get too complacent.”

Unfortunately for Mr Roberts, the snake did not feel respected enough, or maybe had not read up on the appropriate protocols for man/snake encounters.

Smouldering flies blamed for fire that swept through hotel
Dead flies were the most likely cause of a fire at a Grade II-listed hotel, the fire service has said.
Crathorne Hall in Yarm was badly damaged by the blaze on 1 October, which started in the roof space of the east wing.
An investigation by North Yorkshire Fire Service has now revealed that it was started accidentally. The most probable cause was smouldering flies from an electrical fly killer dropping onto flammable material below.
As a result of damage to the popular wedding venue a number of couples were forced to rearrange their nuptials. Repairs are now under way and managers said they hoped the hotel would be reopened in about a month.
North Yorkshire Fire Service said in a statement: "Following investigations into the cause of the fire at Crathorne we consider the most probable cause of the fire to be an electric fly killer in the roof space of the east wing of the hotel. Whilst other possible causes cannot be fully eliminated we are confident that the cause of the fire was accidental."
