Police hunt woman who allowed her urinating dog to cause $2,000 worth of damage to clothing
A New Jersey woman took a dog into a clothing store and allowed it to urinate on 25 pieces of clothing causing $2,000 in damage, police said.
The suspect then led police on a wild chase before eventually losing officers.
The unusual incident happened at about 1pm on Monday at the Lane Bryant clothing store in Toms River.
According to investigators, store employees said that a female entered the store with a small dog and allegedly allowed it to urinate on 14 dresses and 11 pair of pants. The damage was approximately $2,000. The female was asked to leave the store, but police say she became belligerent and refused to do so.
Store employees then called 911 and when officers arrived, the suspect got into her car and sped away. The suspect ran several red lights before officers ended their pursuit due to a potential danger to the community. Investigators said the suspect was identified through her licence plate and physical description as Theresa M. Tumbleson, 35, from Jackson, New Jersey.
Charges of Eluding a Police Officer and Obstruction of the Administration of Law have been filed and additional charges are expected. Tumbleson remains at large. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Toms River Police Department.

Alaskan ladies' underwear bandit apprehended - Update
In the late morning hours of Monday Alaska State Troopers based in Kodiak received a report of a burglary in progress.
As troopers were responding to the scene, the suspect fled the area.
But, through their investigation, they were able to learn the identity of the suspect and a description of the suspect’s vehicle. Using the information that they gathered, troopers would contact the suspect and identify him as 18-year-old Kodiak resident Ryan Cornelio.
Troopers have been investigating several burglaries in the Kodiak area in recent weeks where, among other items, women’s underwear have been stolen from the crime scene. Troopers continued their investigation of Cornelio and that investigation led troopers to believe that Cornelio had burgled at least seven homes in the Kodiak area and had attempted to burgle an additional three.
During those burglaries, Cornelio had stolen women’s underwear as well as other items. Cornelio was remanded to the Kodiak Jail on three counts of Burglary I. Additional charges are expected to be filed according to the trooper dispatch.

Room filled with sugar beet after truck crash
A freak accident left the living room of a home filled with sugar beet after a truck carrying the sweet crop flipped on one side in a rural village in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland.
The accident occurred at around 11am on Tuesday when the 23-year-old driver lost control of the truck he was driving through Schwerzenbach, northeast of Zurich.
For unknown reasons the driver lost control of the vehicle, pulling a trailer, on a gently sloping curve of the community’s main street. The truck slammed up against the wall of an apartment building, disgorging its load into a ground-floor suite and the front yard.
The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital by ambulance after managing to clamber out of the cab unaided. No-one in the building was injured but the crash caused considerable damage. The truck itself was a write-off, while a structural engineer was hired to assess the damage to the dwellings. The village’s main street was temporarily closed as a result of the accident.

111 stolen bicyles found hidden in pensioner's two-roomed apartment
A man in his seventies has been arrested after police found more than a hundred bicycles in his apartment in Vadstena in central Sweden.
Police in the area say they discovered a hundred and one cycles in the elderly man's two room apartment, with ten others located in a storage room.
Officers had been called to the flat to question the man in connection with another crime. They are now trying to trace the owners of the bikes. Local police chief Frida Braf said that this would "not be easy and will take time".
Three investigators are working on the case, noting, among other things, model, chassis number and other markings. The suspect is currently on bail after being questioned on Monday. "He said he found the bikes at various locations in the country and cycled home with them," said Braf.

Couple dispute claim that their two-toothed dog attacked a child
A couple from Wist Albury in New South Wales, Australia, claim their two-toothed dog Grumpy has been unfairly blamed for an attack on a child.
Steve Moskovic said he had arrived home from walking the family grey Maltese cross to receive a $550 penalty notice from an Albury compliance officer.
The notice alleged the pet had attacked someone at 3pm on September 5.
Owner Nevenka Moskovic said the dog was at home in his bed at the time of the incident and despite his name, had a good nature.
“Grumpy is a beautiful dog,” she said. “He only has two teeth and is 18 years old with arthritis; he couldn’t have chased or bitten anyone. I have to stand up for my dog because he can’t stand up for himself.” The Moskovics have lived in Albury for the past 14 years and said they had never had an incident when walking their dog. A $165 penalty notice was issued because Grumpy was not micro-chipped and unregistered. Mrs Moskovic said she admitted they were guilty of not having Grumpy microchipped or registered, but was adamant the dog never attacked anyone.
She is disputing the $550 fine on that charge. Mr Moskovic said the ordeal had caused a lot of stress. “It’s not the money that upsets me, it’s the dishonesty,” he said. “I came here to retire and now I want to move again. I can’t sleep because of the stress it has caused - it’s unfair.” The dog has since been microchipped and registered, however the couple said they can’t afford to take the matter to court. They have written to the council and the state debt recovery office requesting leniency but were unsuccessful.
Despite the couple’s claim, Albury Council’s team leader of compliance John Mulvey said an investigation had concluded it was Grumpy that had attacked the child. “Compliance officers received a complaint in early September about an aggressive animal which was involved in an incident where a child was injured,” Mr Mulvey said. “The investigation identified the animal involved. Further investigations revealed the animal was not micro-chipped or registered with council, as required under NSW legislation. As a result of the investigation, penalty infringement notices were issued.”

Two-year-old boy safely back home after going on early morning adventure with his cat
A toddler has been reunited with his worried family after he was found barefoot in pyjamas, and alone on a street in Illawarra, New South Wales, Australia.
The-two-year-old had wandered away from home while his grandparents slept, on a big and potentially dangerous adventure - with the family pet, 'Kitty Kat'.
Antwan is what you would call an active child, and on Tuesday morning while his grandparents and twin sister were sleeping, the toddler took himself on his biggest adventure yet. "We'd slept in," his grandmother Melinda said. "There were no toys or mess. I was like 'where's Antwan?'" He had climbed onto a chair, unlocked the front door and escaped, along with his pet cat.
He was 500 metres from home when Beck Buttonshaw saw Antwan in his pyjamas calling out for "nana". "He was at that driveway and he wandered across into the middle of the road and a truck pulled out and I don't think he had seen, Ms Buttenshaw said. "I just dropped my bag and ran out and got him."

Antwan's walk had started in a lane by his home. and continued through a reserve. After navigating his way through the park Antwan's next obstacle was a busy six-lane road and somehow, the two-year-old got across. His grandparents only realised he was gone two hours later. "All I could think was oh my god he's floating in water somewhere," Melinda said. "Very lucky she found him. Handed him in. Got him off that road." When they called police, Antwan was already in the care of officers.
