Woman allegedly assaulted boyfriend during disagreement over rescheduling of dog's haircut
An argument involving a “haircut appointment” for a dog turned into a physical altercation that left a 22-year-old Florida woman in jail, according to statements in an arrest affidavit.
Police were sent to an area of Port St. Lucie to a report of a man and woman yelling at each other.A woman identified as Soel Melissa Gonzalez looked to be crying and upset. She wouldn’t answer a police officer’s questions, but eventually said she and her boyfriend argued.
The man identified as the victim said he and Gonzalez have dated for three years. He said they had a verbal dispute, and that he wished “to change the dog’s haircut appointment but Soel did not.” He said Gonzalez refused to reschedule the appointment and slapped and scratched his face.
He said he pushed Gonzalez away when she left. As she left, he said, she started ripping down the front door curtains. The victim said they kept arguing outside before he went inside and locked the door. Police again spoke with Gonzalez who refused to answer questions. Gonzalez was arrested on a battery charge and taken to jail.

Intruder thought to be looking for teenage girl accidentally fondled her dad
A man from Dickson, Tennessee, woke up with an intruder’s hand down his pants and scared him away.
The father-of-two believes the culprit was looking for his teenage daughter, but went into the wrong bedroom.
Corey Huddleston, 52, has since been charged with aggravated burglary and sexual battery.
Huddleston allegedly went to the home of Bret and Elizabeth Cutrell early on Tuesday morning.
A guest was at the house when someone knocked on the door. When they opened it, a man believed to be Huddleston pushed his way in to the residence, according to a police report. Mrs. Cutrell says the man asked if they had any cigarettes or beer before he began asking about her daughter, who is 14 years old. At one point, the suspect allegedly exposed his genitals, touched himself, and even tried to make his way into the teenage girl’s bedroom.
That’s when they told him to leave, but after the suspect went outside, he went around to a bedroom window and climbed inside. The Cutrells think he was trying to get to the girl’s bedroom, but instead found her father. When Bret Cutrell woke up, he felt a hand down his pants. Cutrell said he thought it might have been his wife, but when he opened his eyes, he spotted Huddleston. “It was quite a wake up call,” said Cutrell.
“It both disgusted me and infuriated me at the same time.” He scared the man away and went to check on his family. “I could tell he wasn’t expecting me. I think his main target was my daughter.” Cutrell said his main priority was his family’s safety, so he just let the intruder run out. “I wanted to rip the guy apart. If my kids hadn’t been in the house, he’d probably either be in the hospital or dead right now.” Huddleston is now in the Dickson County jail on $50,000 bond. He has more than 100 prior charges on his criminal history, including theft, assault, aggravated rape, and many more.

Teenagers lost in trees after taking drugs found 'silently staring off into the sky' following 911 call
Police in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, descended on a park on Tuesday in search of two panicked teenagers who took drugs, got lost and called 911 for help.
When a police dispatcher asked one of the young men if there were any landmarks around, he responded that he saw trees.
So the dispatcher tried asking him to shout “Help” to alert the searchers, according to Acting Sgt. Adam Morris. Instead, the man said “Yeah,” in a quiet voice. “Our dispatcher was able to determine they were on something,” Morris said.
The 50-acre wood, called Lackie’s Bush, is thinned by heavy foot traffic from students at a nearby high school. And a noisy road runs beside the park. So it’s “near impossible to get lost in,” Morris said, especially when the sun is up. It was 6pm when the teens’ distress call came in.
The search team, three officers and a dog, made quick work of finding the pair. They were “silently staring off into the sky,” police said. The two refused to tell police which drugs they were using. “They wouldn’t tell us. They said they didn’t know. They just didn’t want to tell us,” Morris said. “I guess they thought they would get in trouble.” The two were taken to hospital as a precaution. No charges will be laid.

Police search for inept would-be ATM thief
A would-be burglar's two bungled attempts to steal an ATM from a service station in northern Queensland, Australia, were caught on camera.
A video released by the Queensland Police Service shows the man breaking his way into the Townsville business on Tuesday night with a brick and sledgehammer before tying the chain around the ATM inside.
"The only problem for the offender was that he had not realised that his chain wasn't attached and when he attempted to drive off he left the ATM behind," Detective Senior Sergeant Chris Hicks said. He returned a short time later, attempting to reconnect the chain to his vehicle, but did not park close enough to hook it up.

After a half-hearted attempt to continue with the crime, the offender gave up and drove off. The vehicle, a 1997 while Holden Rodeo Ute with the words NQ Springs written on the side, was stolen from a business earlier in the night. "Anyone with any information about the vehicle or the male should contact Crime Stoppers," Detective Senior Sergeant Hicks said.

Residents baffled by cat poo crusader who has been defacing dog foul signs
A cat poo crusader, on a mission to rid the roads of feline faeces, has been covertly defacing dog foul signs on a quiet cul-de-sac in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
The mysterious figure used a Tippex style product to mask the word DOGS on one sign before painting over the top to create the line CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR CATS.
The Crusader even went as far as adding pointed ears to the silhouette of a dog, to create a more feline-looking offender. Another sign has been altered to read CATS (FOULING OF LAND) ACT 1996.
The precise act of vandalism has baffled residents since ever since the signs were discovered to have been altered two days ago. A concerned resident believes they know the crusader's identity. She said: "I think I know who has done this but I am reluctant to confront him. I am concerned for the welfare of the cats in the road."

Charity calls for return of 'offensive' pig wearing police helmet
A charity is calling for a council leader to bring back a sculpture of a pig he has removed from a Staffordshire town centre.
The Tamworth sculpture, which is depicted wearing a police helmet, is known as the "Peel Pig" after former prime minister Sir Robert Peel, who was an MP in the town.
The work was removed by Conservative councillor Danny Cook who said it was "offensive".
But a charity set up to honour Sir Robert is calling for its return. The Peel Society said the work formed part of a Trotters Trail through the town in honour of Tamworth's association with the animal. The trail was funded by an £8,000 grant from the Arts Council. The pig is decorated in purple and yellow, the Peel family colours, and wears the police helmet as a tribute to Sir Robert's role in establishing the Metropolitan Police Force.
Nigel Morris, chairman of the society, said the statue was 'colourful street furniture', designed to keep people 'informed about one of the greatest politicians this country has ever produced'. "It was a social art project," he said. "The pigs are all over Tamworth, in schools and in castle grounds. I was invited, as chair of the Peel Society to paint one. I saw it as a unique opportunity to tell the people of Tamworth about Sir Robert Peel." But Mr Cook said: "I have been contacted by retired police officers who say they are offended by it.
"If I had left it, there would have been a lobby of people wanting it removed. An offensive pig is not going back on council land." Andy Adams, chairman of the Staffordshire Police Federation, said the pig had 'raised a smile" and was "not intended to be offensive'. "It's not the average pig in town," he said. "I know 'pig' can be a derogatory term for a police officer but I don't think the Peel Society meant it that way at all. It's there to get a message across and it was probably over the top to remove it."
