Woman claims she found rodent in iced tea can
A Virginia woman claims she found a rodent inside of a can of Lipton Sparkling Peach Iced Tea. She has the can to prove it. PepsiCo and the Virginia Department of Agriculture confirm they are on the case.
"I was just sick," said Amanda Robertson. "I almost threw up looking at it. I couldn't believe it." Robertson says she actually drank a portion of the tea before noticing something inside.
The Emporia woman claims doctors now say she has a painful case of acute food poisoning. "I'm just scared," said Robertson. "My biggest fear is not being with my kids and my husband. If it had some disease...that could hurt me, and I don't want that to happen to anybody else."
Amanda says she bought the iced tea at a Walmart in Christianburg. PepsiCo Spokeswoman Gina Anderson says an investigation is taking place. Elaine Lidholm with Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services says they plan to launch their own investigation. She also stresses this is extremely rare.

Man alleges woman assaulted him with her breasts
A man reported to Athens-Clarke County police in Georgia early on Monday that a woman had assaulted him with her breasts outside a convenience store.
The 28-year-old man, who was behind her in the queue, moved up to the counter to pay for his purchases after she'd walked away, he told police. But when the woman came back, she was irritated the man had moved ahead of her, and she let him know.
There was a verbal disagreement inside the Lexington Road Marathon store. Then, it spilled outside the store, according to the police report. “He told me that when they went outside of the store, the female bumped him with her breasts and threatened to beat him up,” the report states. “He indicated that he felt he was assaulted.”
The man said the woman was with other men at the time of the alleged assault. The group left in a car, but the alleged victim was able to get the licence number. Police identified the accused woman, but were unable to contact her, the report states. No charges had been filed in the case, according to Clarke County jail records.

Man dismayed by hamless hamwich
A man has expressed his dismay after purchasing a 'cheese hamwich' which turned out only to contain turkey, not ham from pigs.
Mark Smith, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, was disappointed by the Bernard Matthews Cheese Hamwich which he bought.
Mark, 30, said: "When I was shopping I was rushing a bit, so I didn't look too close at the packaging. I saw it was by Bernard Matthews, who is famous for turkeys of course, but I thought they might also use ham as well.
"A couple of days later I wanted to eat it and I was disappointed when I saw that it didn't actually have any ham in it at all." The packaging of the snack made by the Norfolk turkey market leaders describes product as 'chopped and shaped turkey and cured turkey topped with processed cheese coated in breadcrumbs" But Mark said: "The picture on the pack shows the meat as being pink, and turkey isn't really that colour, so it does look like ham much more than turkey.
"I spoke to a couple of friends about it and they said they thought it had ham in it, and they were surprised when I told them it didn't The word 'hamwich' comes from 'ham sandwich' after all which is a well-known thing, so it is a bit confusing." But Mark also pays tribute to the power of suggestion and added that the his initial belief that the product had ham informed his experience of eating the hamwich.
He said: "When I ate it of course I knew it was turkey ham, and that subtle turkey taste came through, but as I ate more of it, it did start to taste of ham, I think the packaging subliminally influenced the way I tasted it. I don't think it should be called a hamwich though. It could be called a turkwich, which sounds quite good." A spokesman for Bernard Matthews said: "The Bernard Matthews Cheese Hamwich is made from turkey, turkey ham and cheese coated in breadcrumbs. The ingredients are clearly labelled on the front of the packaging. Ham is a word used for meat from the leg of any animal and turkey ham is made from cured turkey thigh and drumstick meat."

Rampant Rabbit 'accidentally' stolen after it manoeuvred itself into the lining of man's jacket
A man “accidentally” stole a sex toy from an adult shop after it “manoeuvred itself” into the lining of his jacket, a court was told.
David Hutchinson, 48, walked into Ann Summers in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, and bought £100 worth of items, Sunderland magistrates heard.
But having stashed a £35 Rampant Rabbit in his pocket he left the store without paying.
Prosecutor Lee Poppett said: “This matter of theft dates back to February 9.
“On that occasion Mr Hutchinson attended Ann Summers, which I am sure you are well aware, is a shop that sells a number of items of an adult nature. He paid for a number of items legitimately and left the store. It was later in the day that staff discovered a Rampant Rabbit sexual vibrator missing from its shelf.” Staff checked the CCTV footage and saw Hutchinson, of Hendon, “secreting” the vibrator up his sleeve, the court heard. “He was seen to pick up various items,” Mr Poppett said.
“He told police he picked up the display model of the vibrator and placed it in his pocket, because he noticed there was a hole in the box. the item manoeuvred itself into the lining of his jacket Then and he failed to pay for it. He then got into a taxi, and it was only then that he realised the item was still in his pocket, but he failed to return it to the store.” Hutchinson, who suffers from spinal problems, cirrhosis of the liver and kidney failure, admitted theft.
Anna Haq, defending, said Hutchinson, who appeared on crutches in the dock, had pocketed the Rampant Rabbit due to his physical difficulties, to help him carry more items, and that the theft was accidental. “He was in the store and spent £100 on various items,” Mrs Haq said. “You can obviously see Mr Hutchinson has difficulties. He has put the item in his pocket to assist him with taking items to the till. He was too ashamed to return it to the store.” Hutchinson was fined £73, and told to pay £85 costs, a £20 victim surcharge and £35 in compensation for the Rampant Rabbit.
