Not content with robbing bank 'brazen bandit' also helped himself to a complimentary lollipop
A Florida man dubbed as a "brazen bandit" by deputies is accused of robbing a bank, and before walking out, taking one of the bank's complimentary lollipops with him.
Deputies said Jonathan Boston, 30, robbed two banks, one on Saturday and one Monday. Security cameras spotted Boston parking his truck outside the bank to make a quick getaway.
His first robbery was at the TD Bank in West Palm Beach. He passed a note demanding cash, took his bounty - and a lollipop - then left, according to deputies. Less than 48 hours later, he robbed the TD Bank in suburban West Palm Beach.
He parked in front of the bank, passed a note to the teller and demanded money, deputies said. But deputies said he didn't get very far. They were able to track him down shortly after the robbery in his truck. All of the cash was recovered. He is charged with bank robbery and is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail.

Man accused of trying to use rattlesnake as deadly weapon
An Arizona man allegedly tried to kill another man with a rattlesnake, but the snake would not bite.
Nathaniel Buck Harrison, 38, of Oracle, entered a person's home on July 23 and accused a man of being a "rat" and for sending his friend to prison, according to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.
He then allegedly hit the 53-year-old victim over the head with a board, breaking it in two pieces, and said he was going to kill him.
Sheriff's officials said that Harrison handled the snake with his bare hands trying to push the snake towards the man. When the snake wouldn't bite, PCSO says, Harrison forced the victim to the ground and then used a handgun to fire a bullet into a speaker box close to the victim's foot. By this time, 911 had been called and deputies were on their way. The sirens spooked Harrison who allegedly hid the handgun within a couch located in the kitchen, said PCSO.
Harrison refused to come out of the home at first, but was eventually taken into custody. He was booked into jail under suspicion of endangerment, aggravated assault, criminal trespassing, disorderly conduct with a weapon, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony offence, unlawful discharge of a firearm and threatening and intimidating. PCSO says Harrison has an "extensive criminal history" and is being held on $50,000 bond.

Neighbours say Harrison had been in and out of the mobile home park often. Manager Suzie Riddell said that several months ago he tried to throw a hornet's nest inside another resident's home. Riddell said she believes Harrison has mental problems. "I hope they get him help this time," she said. "Just throwing him in jail isn't going to help." "This is the first case I have heard where a victim attempted to use a venomous snake to kill or injure his victim," said Sheriff Paul Babeu. The snake was caught by deputies and released into the wild.

Orphaned pine marten entered house through cat flap helped himself to food and had a nap
An orphaned pine marten is being cared for after taking refuge through a cat flap, helping himself to food and settling down for a nap.
Anne Paterson, from Gartness in Stirling, Scotland, watched as the surprise visitor sneaked in from the garden and made himself at home. The little pine marten, who has been named Edan, is being cared for at the Scottish SPCA rescue centre in Fishcross.
Ms Paterson said: "I had spotted the pine marten in the garden a few times but I didn't think anything of it. "Then one day my daughter and I watched him go into the house through the cat flap.
"Our cats weren't around at the time and he started munching away on their food before curling up in one of their beds. I'm glad to hear Edan is doing well after being rescued." It is hoped Edan can be set free in the next four to six weeks.

Clean bill of health given to silly Shih Tzu who swallowed whole kitchen scourer
A little dog from Jarrow, South Tyneside, owes his life to charity vets after swallowing a whole kitchen sponge ... complete with scouring pad.
Alfie the Shih Tzu had to have emergency treatment after eating his foamy snack and has now made a full recovery.
The 20-month old pet was keeping his owner Maria Bird company as she cleaned the bathroom when he swiped a clean sponge from the packet and swallowed it whole.
The dog didn’t even flinch after his unusual meal, but 53-year-old Maria knew that Alfie’s naughty niblbing could cause him some serious harm. She said: “Alfie has always been a mischief-maker but I was astounded when he wolfed down the sponge in one go. He seemed absolutely fine but I knew he could be in deep trouble. I rushed him straight to PDSA where vets checked him over.” Maria, who has had Alfie since he was a puppy, and her daughter Jade took Alfie to the PDSA’s Gateshead Pet Hospital
Vets immediately administered emergency treatment to make Alfie sick and avoid him having to undergo surgery. Vet Nurse Caroline Watson said: “We gave Alfie an injection to make him sick and thankfully, the medicine worked its magic quickly. Thanks to the speedy actions of Maria, Alfie avoided a far worse fate, as when pets swallow foreign bodies, they can cause tears or fatal blockages in the digestive system. We were amazed that such a small dog managed to swallow a sponge of that size.
“It can’t have been very pleasant going down or coming back up again.” Alfie gave his owners a shock as he doesn’t usually eat things he shouldn’t, and they will be watching him closely from now on. Alfie returned home shortly after his ordeal and returned to his usual self. Maria said: “I am so grateful to PDSA for their fast action and help with Alfie. We are keeping a close eye on him to make sure he doesn’t snaffle any other spongy treats again.”

Jail for pink-wigged naked man who waggled private parts at passing cars
A man has been jailed for standing naked in the central reservation of a dual carriageway next to a busy roundabout in Devon and waggling his private parts at cars.
Malcolm King, 57, was wearing only a pink wig, chocolate body paint, and stick-on body jewellery. He was waving a glow stick.
King was jumping up and down and waggling his private parts at a stream of cars, some containing children, as they passed him at the Penn Inn at Newton Abbot.
He chose to expose himself on the night of January 30 this year, at a time when a warning had been issued about sub zero temperatures and frosty roads.
King had only been released hours earlier from a previous five months sentence for exposing himself in a beach hut in Torbay.
He has previously been jailed for exposing himself in the centre of Plymouth while wearing only a blonde wig, pink gloves and pink shoes, and in Exeter while wearing only a pink sock and garter. Homeless King, previously of Plymouth, admitted exposure and was jailed for 12 months by Recorder Malcolm Galloway at Exeter Crown Court. He told him: "Members of the public, when the read of these offences, may find some of them amusing but there was a real potential you were doing this in front of children and others who might be shocked. You may, perhaps in drink, find this something you wish to do, but others do not want to see it and the court has to consider that you have completely ignored earlier sentences.
"This happened on the day you were released from prison on one of the busiest roundabouts in the country which was packed with cars. Dozens of members of the public would have seen you. I am told you were homeless and wanted to get arrested but I view that with a certain amount of suspicion because you could have walked naked into a police station but instead chose this roundabout. All the courts can do with this sort of behaviour is to pass longer and longer sentences." Gordon Richings, said a female police officer was driving past the Penn Inn roundabout shortly before 7pm when she saw a man standing in a triangular section of the central reservation on the Exeter side of the main A380 road.
He said: "The officer saw King completely naked save for a pink wig. He was jumping up and down waggling his penis. There were a number of pedestrians and motorists in the area and although it was dark, it was well lit. He was wearing stick-on jewels on his body. The officer stopped and he said to her 'let me in the car, I'm freezing'." Paul Dentith, defending, said King had been released from his last sentence earlier that day and was penniless and homeless. He said: "He had no form of support and says he had been reduced to drinking water from a river in Newton Abbot. He felt the only way of getting help was to be arrested. He was in a dreadful state." Mr Dentith said King has been in custody since his arrest, which equates to a 12-month sentence, and will receive more support from the probation service when he is released again.
