Man found sitting on toilet inside house said he was thinking of buying it but had to try it out first
Found sitting on a toilet inside a house for sale, a 23-year-old Florida man had a simple explanation for police, he was thinking of buying the home but had to try it out first.
Police didn’t buy the explanation and charged him with burglary.
An officer said he received a call about a suspicious man with no shirt and white shorts walking to the rear of a house for sale in Tavares. The man passed through a gated privacy fence and did not exit the property, a neighbour said. The officer said he entered the pool area behind the house after arriving on the scene and opened what he thought was a closet.
It was a bathroom, and the man, later identified as Corey Lee Ramsey, was sitting on the toilet with his shorts around his ankles. Ramsey told the officer “he had been reading books on the topic of purchasing homes, and he wanted to try this one out first before buying,” according to an arrest affidavit.
The four-bedroom, three-bath home has a $299,450 asking price. Police said the homeowner was out of town at the time but would be back shortly. Ramsey remains in his new home at the Lake County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.

Some neighbours unhappy with man for parking plane on his driveway
A man from Oceanside, Long Island, New York has parked his plane on his driveway and some of his neighbours aren't happy.
Harold Guretzky no longer wanted to pay $150 a month in storage fees at Republic Airport, so he had his Cessna trucked in and reassembled on his driveway about a month ago.
“Why they’re picking on me I don’t understand,” Guretzky said.
“I had inspectors show up. They wrote me summonses,” he added. The Town of Hempstead Department of Buildings said Guretzky faces up to $2,500 in summonses for keep the plane on his property. The tickets cited Guretzky for illegal storage of a plane. The 69-year-old student pilot said he had dismantled the plane at the airport, trucked it to his house, and then reassembled it.
The summons, he said, is something his attorney will fight. “He doesn’t care if this goes all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States,” Guretzky said. Some, but not all, neighbours are amused. His neighbour across the street, Ricky, said he doesn’t mind the 24-foot-long two-seater, but he objects to all the people who keep stopping by to take selfies with the plane. “They think it’s cute and they stand by his plane,” he said.

“Do I need to have traffic back and forth here? It becomes a nuisance after a while.” Neighbour Vicky said she doesn’t think it looks that bad, but town code says you can only park a car or a boat in your driveway. “Where is the limit? If we allow this plane, well somebody else might do something. What’s next a tank - a military tank?” she said. “You have to have limits otherwise let’s face it, people will run amok.”

74-year-old man accused of hitting his 100-year-old mother with a broom in cat feeding incident
A 74-year-old Florida man was arrested by Volusia County sheriff's deputies after they said he struck his 100-year-old mother with a broom and threatened to kill her.
David Corning was charged with aggravated battery on a person over the age of 65, a felony, after deputies spoke to his mother, Ellen Corning, at the hospital on Wednesday.
Ellen Corning, who turned 100 in April, told deputies that her son also threatened to kill her and that she is afraid of him. The row between mother and son occurred on Tuesday evening in their home outside DeLand but Ellen Corning told deputies she was afraid to report it at the time.
The centenarian said she had entered her son's bedroom to feed his cat. When her son walked in and saw his mother, he began yelling. At one point, David Corning said to his mother, "Go back inside you (expletive deleted) or I will kill you." He then grabbed a broom and swung it at his mother, hitting her on the side of the head and breaking her glasses, deputies reported.
Ellen Corning said she went back into her bedroom for the rest of the evening because she fears her son. David Corning told deputies that his mother should be taken into custody under the Baker Act and that he hit her accidentally with the handle of a vacuum cleaner while she was sitting on a chair in his bedroom. Ellen Corning told deputies that she wants to move forward with charges against her son. David Corning is being held at the Volusia County Branch Jail with no bail allowed.

Police investigate tourist lying on speeding car
Footage showing a half-naked tourist spread-eagled across the back of a car speeding along a busy motorway outside Marbella in Spain is being investigated by police.
The stunt was caught on camera by a Spanish driver who remarked: "This is what guiris do. 100kms and look how he is travelling." Guiris is the slang word often used in Spain to describe northern European tourists. "What madness," he adds.
It is not easy to make out the figures in the grainy footage until the convertible car enters a tunnel when streetlights reveal what looks like a man in his shorts sprawled on his back across the rear of the car.

The man filming the video pans down to show his own speedometer as he keeps up with the pranksters and records 99km per hour (61mph). The footage uploaded onto Youtube in the early hours of Friday morning is being investigated by Malaga’s Civil Guard traffic unit. The stretch of road where the footage was filmed appears to be the newly-built tunnel between Marbella and Puerto Banús.

Dog reunited with owners seven years after being stolen
A dog has been reunited with her owners, seven years after being stolen.
Molly the Jack Russell was taken from her home in Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, when she was three-years-old, along with her eight puppies.
She was found by police wandering alone nearly 100 miles away in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, last week, and has now been reunited with owners Brian and Pauline Berry and her sister Megan. Mr Berry said it was "absolutely brilliant" seeing her again. Mr and Mrs Berry believe Molly was taken for her puppies, who were four-days-old.
Mr Berry said: It took a short while [for her to recognise us] we gave her a cuddle and after about 20 minutes she started licking my face and the side of my cheek. I never ever thought we'd get her back. The puppies will be distributed all over the place, but I'm just so pleased to have her back. It gives you a lump in your throat, it's unbelievable.
"I wish she could talk, but obviously she cannot, but maybe it's something you don't want to hear." The couple believe she has been badly treated over the seven years as she is very thin and needs dental work. Molly was found after police scanned her micro-chip. Mr Berry said: "I hope it works [the micro-chip] for somebody else that is in the same position - it's proof of the pudding really isn't it? I mean it's worked for me and I just hope it works for somebody else."

Monk pleads guilty to harassing lesbian witches
A monk has pleaded guilty to harassment after getting into a war of words with a pair of lesbian witches.
Damon Kelly, 53, from a Catholic group calling themselves the Black Hermits, delivers leaflets campaigning against homosexuality and other things he regards as sins.
When a lesbian couple living in Leicester, received his leaflet one of them stopped Kelly further down the street and confronted him and tried to hand him back the leaflet.
Describing the confrontation at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Thursday, prosecutor Nigel Chapman said Kelly, who was dressed in black monk's robes, told the woman, "keep it, urinate on it, defecate on it". The woman's partner joined her outside and defended the couple's sexuality and pagan beliefs. The court heard both parties were quoting scripture at other. Mr Chapman said an "aggressive and fanatical" Kelly told the women: "You know we used to burn people like you. I'm doing God's work."
The court heard that 15 days later, on October 29 last year, Kelly returned to their home and posted a letter addressed "To the witches from the monk" which described "witches, gays, lesbians and sex-changers" as being part of the "devil's madness". Mr Chapman said one of the women suffered heart palpitations while reading the letter. He said: "She felt she was being targeted by the defendant." Kevin Sayce, defending Kelly, said his client had never aimed to confront the women. Mr Sayce said: "He picks areas and delivers leaflets.
"It was one of the females that approached Damon Kelly and he defended his opinion as he's had to on numerous occasions. Following their disclosures of their practice as witches, Damon Kelly returned - not to seek out a confrontation but to post the letter that put forward his beliefs on pursuing such desires and such acts. His motive, his calling, is to target the sin and not the sinner." Kelly, of St Patrick's Church in Corby, has taken vows of poverty and chastity. District Judge Tim Daber said a fine would not be suitable and ordered the case be adjourned for three weeks to assess whether Kelly was fit for unpaid work. Kelly was released on bail with the condition not to deliver any leaflets.
