Lady concerned she may potentially lose her job repeatedly hit boss in the face with a metal plate
A 25-year-old woman from St. Paul, Minnesota, is accused of repeatedly hitting her boss with a metal plate after being told she’d most likely lose her job, according to the Dakota County Attorney’s Office.
On Oct. 30 at 10:22pm, Mendota Heights police were dispatched to Applied Coating on the report of an assault.
When police officers arrived, they learned a woman, identified as Waasohn Senite Dorliae, struck her boss, according to the complaint. An investigation revealed that Dorliae was upset after her boss reprimanded her for being late and told her she would most likely not have a job the next day.
Dorliae, who works on a line with metal, then took a large piece of metal and struck him in the face and head at least five times, the complaint said. Once he fell to the ground, she walked away with the weapon, but turned around and threw it at him – striking him in the knee. The victim suffered multiple cuts on his face, chin and back of the head.
In an interview with police, Darliae told police that the victim was “discriminating” and “nit-picking” on her and, because of that, she needed to resort to violence. She admitted to using full force to strike him in the head and said she needed to use the violence because he fired her, the complaint said. Dorliae now faces one felony count of second-degree assault. If convicted, she could face a maximum penalty of seven years in prison and/or a $14,000 fine.

Police search for broccoli thief
Police are looking for a broccoli thief in the Upper Valley, Norwich, Vermont.
Investigators say someone stole 70 pounds of the cabbage cousin from the Killdeer Farm on Butternut Road.
Police believe there's no way deer munched their way through it, and say the broccoli was sheared off.
Staffers at the farm say the organic broccoli was worth less than $300, and say they hope it at least went to a hungry family. If you have any information call the police.

Indian hospital fights rat epidemic
A government hospital in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, is trying to rid itself of tens of thousands of rats overrunning its premises.
Pest control workers say they have killed more than 2,500 rats at the Maharaja Yeshwantrao hospital so far.
Nearly 70,000 rats are believed to be hiding in about 8,000 rat-holes, city commissioner Sanjay Dubey said.
The hospital hired a pest control firm after instances of rodents damaging hospital equipment and biting patients. "Rats had become a massive problem here. We've launched this campaign to rid the hospital of rats because they are present here in such large numbers," Mr Dubey who ordered the rat-extermination drive said.
Sanjay Karmakar, chairman of the Lakshmi Fumigation and Pest Control Limited, which was given the job of killing the rats, said workers were leaving food like prawns, jaggery [solidified cane sugar], chickpeas and apples laced with poison near rat-holes to kill the rodents. The cost of ridding the hospital of rats has been put at 5.5m rupees (£56,035, $89,511). "Rats are very intelligent animals. If they see a rat dropping dead after eating a food item, they would not touch it again.

"That's why we have to keep changing the menu daily," Mr Karmakar said. He said that once the operation is complete, the hospital will be free of rats and other pests for several years. The same company says it killed 10,000 rats at the hospital 20 years ago. The 400-bed Maharaja Yeshwantrao is one of the biggest government hospitals in Indore. Its outpatient department is visited by nearly 1,000 people every day. Some Hindu religious leaders have opposed the drive to kills rats because Ganesha, the elephant god, rides a mouse.

Mr Hippy ran cannabis-growing operation in his garage
Police officers seized £8,000 worth of cannabis and dozens of plants after a drugs factory was uncovered on a quiet residential street in Lincoln.
The man who ran the operation, Gregory Hippy, is now awaiting sentence – and could face up to 14 years in prison.
Lincoln Magistrates’ Court heard how Mr Hippy's garage had been converted for the sole purpose of cannabis growth.
Bricks had been removed from the garage wall, ventilation pipes had been installed and there were white plastic sheets on the walls. Mr Hippy’s lawyer Tony Freitas insisted the equipment found in the home was already there when he moved in. And he said that the enterprise had merely begun as a small-scale purchase online that had spiralled unexpectedly out of control.
Officers raided the home of Mr Hippy, 36, on May 24, finding 28 cannabis plants in his garage. Mr Hippy appeared at court on Tuesday and admitted producing a class B drug. He was granted unconditional bail for sentencing at Lincoln Crown Court at a later date. Shirley Wilson, prosecuting, said: “The drug experts said there was a strong commercial element to this grow.”
Mr Freitas, defending, told the court that Mr Hippy had grown the cannabis for his own use. He said: “He says he bought the seeds on the internet. To his shock, they kept on seeding so he kept on going with it. He says all the equipment was at the address from the previous tenant. He says he was simply doing it because it was cheaper than buying it.” Mr Hippy denied selling the cannabis for profit.

Hamster blamed for starting fatal house fire
A pet hamster called Pebbles caused a house fire in Milton Keynes that almost suffocated its owners and killed their two dogs and a chinchilla.
It is believed the pet managed to switch on the cooker and cause £20,000-worth of fire and smoke damage.
Tracey Hill and her son Kae could not sleep last Wednesday night because nocturnal Pebbles was
making too much noise.
“I moved her into the
kitchen so we couldn’t hear her. I stood her cage on top of the electric cooker hob – the only big enough surface that the dogs couldn’t reach,” said Tracey.
At 4.30am she and Kae, 13, woke to the sound of the smoke alarm to find the kitchen and lounge full of thick black smoke. The hob was mysteriously switched on and Pebbles’ cage had caught fire, killing the hamster instantly. “It’s a mystery how it happened. One theory is that the hamster was banging about so much that it caused the cage to slide around and press against the cooker switch,” said Tracey. She led Kae to safety and began a desperate search for her dogs.
Tragically Jack Russell Twiggy and Yorkie Poppy were killed by the smoke, though a third terrier survived. A pet chinchilla was also a victim of the fire. Tracey said: “We are heartbroken to lose four of our pets. And we’ve also lost all of our possessions. We literally have just the nightclothes we were wearing. But at least my son and I are still alive. We could so easily have been killed.” The single mother has praised firefighters who searched the house for the pets.
“Luckily the fire service had carried out a safety check on the house when we first moved in, so the fire alarm was working perfectly. It saved our lives,” she said. She has also thanked neighbours and friends, who have rallied round to donate clothes for her and Kae. The pair are currently living in temporary accommodation waiting to be rehomed. Said 40-year-old Tracey: “I can’t believe we’ve lost everything because of our pet hamster. I must have put Pebbles on top of the cooker a dozen times before when she was noisy at night. I never realised the switch could be turned so easily. And I never dreamed it would cause a fire and almost kill my son and I.”

Woman claims police told her to remove 'offensive' knitted gorilla from window of home
A grandmother claims she received a visit from police after a woollen ape hanging in her living room window caused offence to a passer-by.
Anne Feast, 70, knitted ‘Cilla the Gorilla’ last year and the toy has been hanging in the window at her home in Ely, Cambridgeshire, alongside numerous other characters she has created, ever since.
But mother and grandmother-of-two Anne, who has lived in her home with her husband, Philip, 71, for around 14 years, was asked by police to remove the gorilla after it was reported by a passer-by.
The couple don’t know exactly why Cilla caused offence, but they suspect it is either because someone thought it was racist or the way that the ape hangs down. They have refused to remove Cilla – and Philip has even written a notice to the complainant, which they have put up in their window. Anne, who has lived in the Ely area all her life, said: “We’re disgusted by what’s happened to be honest. I didn’t think anyone could be so sad. I saw the pattern for Cilla last year so decided I wanted to knit her. She’s been hanging in the living room window for over a year.
“I change her position every couple of days – sometimes I hang her from her arms, sometimes by her legs and other times I even have her head peeping out the window. The kiddies who pass by the window love it and all the neighbours comment – we’ve only ever received positive comments about Cilla. Then one evening two police officers, a man and a woman, knocked on the door at around 7.30pm. They told me that they needed to speak to me about the ‘black body’ hanging in my window. I said: “Pardon? Do you mean the baby gorilla?”, to which they replied “Ah that’s what it is, is it?”
“They said the gorilla had offended a passer-by and that I needed to take it down.” Anne said: “I told them there was no way I was taking it down and to be honest I basically closed the door in their face. I was so shocked. I wish I’d asked them what the person had found offensive but I was too angry. I presume it was either the way she was hanging or the fact Cilla is black, both of which are quite frankly pathetic. The police haven’t been back since and everyone I’ve told can’t believe it. I can’t believe someone would be so sad as to take offence to a woollen toy, let alone reporting it to police and wasting officers’ time. I’m sure the police have more important things to worry about.” Cambridgeshire Constabulary said it had no record of the officers’ visit.
