Bastrop Pastor arrested for animal cruelty following cat's death

A Bastrop family is devastated after finding out their cat “Moody” died after suffering serious injuries.

The family received a phone call from a local veterinarian who told them about the cat’s injuries, which were consistent with it being thrown of a bridge.

55 year old Rick Bartlett was arrested on Friday in connection to the cat’s death, and faces animal cruelty charges. Bartlett is reportedly a Pastor of Bastrop Christian Church.

Veterinarians told Moody’s owner, Eddy Bell, that his cat was found on the river walk in Bastrop near the Loop 150 bridge.

“The vet explained he was in shock, open mouth breathing and determined he had a ruptured lung,” Bell explained.

The Bell family says Moody was an indoor cat but did go spend time outside.
Late last week they let him out and he never came back.

According to the family, individuals at the animal control shelter told them Bartlett sometimes brings in stray cats.

 “The animal control officers told us that he traps feral cats that get in his garden. Moody was not a feral cat, we had for eleven years and was a member of or family,” said Bell.

 The Bell’s say Bartlett took Moody to police, who said they would return him to his owners. Bartlett allegedly volunteered to do it himself, but the cat never made it home.

“The bottom line this man was the last one to have our cat, and then he was found dying under a bridge. We all want answers and want him prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” said Bell.

According to Bastrop County Jail records, Bartlett was taken into custody Friday by the Bastrop Police Department. He was later released the same day on $5,000 bond.

Topless Woman Stops Traffic, Slaps Bystander In Monongahela, Pa.

A nearly naked Donora woman parading through downtown Monongahela caused traffic to come to a standstill Monday.

Monongahela police Chief Brian Tempest said officers were called to the 400 block of West Main Street, near McDonald's, at 3:18 p.m. after motorists saw the woman wearing only her underpants.

Tempest said she was walking "dead center" in the middle of the busy downtown street, causing both lanes in the 400 and 500 blocks of West Main Street to come to a halt.

Motorists told police the woman, whose name was not released, parked her car along the street and was topless when she got out of the car.

She eventually took off her pants and threw her shoes at a passing car, Tempest said.

At one point, the woman allegedly struck a female at the Bee's Nest Cafe in the 200 block of Main Street.
When police arrived, the topless woman allegedly resisted arrest and became belligerent with the city officer and a state trooper, Tempest said.

She was eventually handcuffed and transported by ambulance to Monongahela Valley Hospital in Carroll Township.

Tempest said the officers were met at the hospital by mental health personnel.

The chief said he wasn't releasing the woman's name Tuesday because she was being evaluated.

"Right now, we want to see that she is taken care of first. Charges could be filed in the future," Tempest said.
Tempest said news of the bizarre incident spread quickly, as motorists began snapping photos of the woman with their cell phones.

By Tuesday morning, the photos had gone viral on the Internet.

"I was in South Park taking a (training) class when my phone starting ringing," Tempest said. "In today's age, everyone has a cell phone with a camera."

US axe murder suspect ate victim's brain, police say

BRIDGEPORT -- The day before police said Tyree Lincoln Smith hacked to death a homeless man in an East Side apartment and then cannibalized the body, he told his cousin he had a "lust for blood."

"He said he had gotten a rare steak at a restaurant in Florida and when he had tasted the blood it had given him a sexual sensation," recalled Nicole Rabb, who helped police get a confession from Smith to the crime.
Police said Smith killed 43-year-old Angel "Tun Tun" Gonzalez with an ax on Dec. 15.

On Tuesday night the 35-year-old Smith, who grew up in Ansonia, was arrested at a friend's home in Lynn Haven, Fla., and charged with murder in Gonzalez's death. He is being held in lieu of $1 million bond pending extradition to Connecticut.

Rabb, who grew up with Smith, has been acknowledged by police as their main witness against her cousin.

In an interview with the Connecticut Post, she lamented that she didn't act immediately to stop her cousin hours before the death of Gonzalez after he told her he was going to kill someone. But she explained at the time she didn't think what he was threatening was anything but crazy rantings she was used to hearing from him.

"Who the hell would think you could be related to someone like this," she said. "I mean, I've heard of Hannibal Lecter, but I never thought I could have someone in my family who would actually eat someone."

Rabb said she blames police for not acting faster after she said family members informed them Smith had confessed to killing someone in the Brooks Street apartment. "Police told his (Smith's) mother they just couldn't go into the Brooks Street apartment building to look for a body," she related.

Police didn't immediately return calls for comment on Rabb's assertions.

Gonzalez's body was found Friday in a vacant third-floor apartment on Brooks Street. Police said he was found lying across a mattress fully clothed with severe facial and head injuries.

An autopsy determined Gonzalez died from blunt head trauma.

After graduating from Ansonia High School, where he played football, in the early 1990s, Smith moved to California, where he got into modeling, Rabb said. She said his photograph was featured on several billboard advertisements. Prior to that, she said her cousin had been treated for psychiatric problems.

"He said he was hearing voices," Rabb said. "One time, the voices told him to get out of bed in the middle of a snowstorm and walk barefoot across town. He spent several months in a hospital."

While other family members kept their distance from Smith, Rabb said she remained close. "We had grown up like brother and sister," she said.

On Dec. 15, Rabb said Smith showed up at her Seaview Avenue apartment, carrying a large book bag and appearing out of sorts. She said he was drinking from a bottle of sake and showed her a small ax that he pulled out of the bag.

"He was talking about a book he was writing that was all about murder and rape and about Greek gods," she continued. She said she became concerned when Smith began talking about needing blood and being on a mission to get blood. She said he told her he was going to Beardsley Park and later intended to camp out on the porch of their old home on Brooks Street, where Gonzalez's body was later found.

But later that night Smith was back, banging on her apartment door complaining that he had blood all over him. She said she refused to let him in and he eventually went away.

He returned the next evening. Rabb said this time she let him, in only to see that Smith had blood all over his jeans. There was also blood on the small ax he was carrying.

She said he took a bath in her apartment and then stuffed his bloody clothing into a plastic bag. Then, sitting down at the dinner table with Rabb and her two young sons, she said he announced, "I got my blood."

Teen Calls Cops When She Hears Mom Having Sex

JANUARY 23--A Florida teenager who called 911 last week asked police to place her in a Christian children’s shelter because she “heard her mother having sex.”

Responding to a domestic disturbance call Thursday around 4 AM, a cop questioned the mother and daughter at their Panama City residence, according to a police report. The duo had been involved in a “verbal altercation,” a cop noted.
The girl, 15, told an officer that she wanted to go to a local shelter “because she heard her mother having sex” and “felt disrespected” by her 35-year-old parent’s actions. The teen acknowledged that “there was no form of abuse or neglect in the house.”

The mother explained to police that she had invited her boyfriend over and “sometime during the visit, her daughter heard them having sex and became upset.” The woman added that “their bedrooms are next to each other and she didn’t intend to wake her daughter up.”

After speaking with a representative from the shelter, the teen decided that she did not want to leave her home because “it was almost time for school.”

The Panama City Police Department cop reported leaving a domestic rights brochure at the residence.

Psychic Peaches Scammed Florida Woman Out Of $136,000

Priti Mahalanobis, a college-educated mother of two who ran a business, was having a rough time.

Her father's company was in trouble. Her brother's marriage was failing. She wasn't feeling well.

Distraught, she went to the Meditation and Healing Center in Windermere after receiving a coupon book in the mail that included an ad for a $20 psychic reading, she said.

The woman, Peaches Stevens, also known as Mrs. Starr, told her there was a curse on her family that could be removed with Stevens' help, court documents show.

Mahalanobis was to perform rituals, bring Stevens thousands of dollars, open credit-card accounts and keep them secret from her husband and hand over $65,000 worth of jewelry to be pawned, Mahalanobis said.

Seven months later, Mahalanobis was out $135,899 in cash, jewelry and gift cards, prosecutors said. By that time, she realized she had been duped and hired a private investigator to pursue the case.

"Nobody goes to someone to be conned, to be victimized," Mahalanobis said. "Unfortunately, I put my trust in the wrong person."

On Jan. 11, Stevens, 29, was arrested on felony charges of obtaining property by fraud. Stevens, who lives in Winter Garden and was released from the Orange County Jail on $22,000 bail, Tuesday night said she could not comment on the advice of her attorney.

The private investigator, Bob Nygaard of South Florida, credits an interview Mahalanobis granted to CNN's Anderson Cooper last fall with pressuring the Orange-Osceola State Attorney's Office to prosecute the case.

Mahalanobis, who lives in the Dr. Phillips neighborhood and lost her Quiznos sub shop in Avalon Park as a result of her financial woes, admits feeling foolish about what happened. But she decided to go public to try to help others.

"I learned a lot," said Mahalanobis, who is working part-time in a school cafeteria and slowly paying off her debt. "Not to let fear or guilt control you or your actions. Also, listen to your gut, your instinct, that little voice in the back of your head. Because your mind can fool you."

Mahalanobis alleges that Stevens, whose office is steps from the Windermere Police Department, gave her several ways to purge her family's bad luck. They included:

•Putting 11 $100 bills and 11 relatives' names on a piece of paper in an envelope under her mattress and a grapefruit under bed while she slept. This purportedly was because money is the root of all evil, and the evil afflicting her family would be attracted to the money, Mahalanobis said.

•Buying seven tabernacles at a cost of $19,000 each to "vanquish the negativity, curses and evil spirits that plagued her family," a charging report states.

•Keeping her efforts to purge the spirits secret or the evil would take over permanently and nothing could then stop it.

Bonnie And Clyde Guns Sell For $210K At Auction


A Thompson submachine gun and a shotgun left behind when Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow fled Joplin in a shootout with the law in 1933 brought $210,000 at auction Saturday.

The .45-caliber Tommy gun fetched $130,000. The 12-gauge 1897 model Winchester shotgun brought $80,000.

Both were purchased by an online bidder who lives on the East Coast. Mayo Auction, of Kansas City, was not given permission to release the name of the buyer.

Approximately 150 people turned out Saturday morning to watch the guns sell in about 10 to 15 minutes of bidding. There were five active bidders. The guns were among 120 that were sold Saturday.

“There was definitely an energy in the room the closer we got to selling the Tommy gun,’’ said Robert Mayo, owner of the auction house, in a telephone interview Saturday.

“As we were ramping up, people were getting excited,” he said. “There was a sense of being a witness to history.’’

The auction established a value for the guns.

Said Mayo: “This is their value today. They have never been sold before. It will be more fun 70 to 80 years from now. What will they be worth then?’’

The guns were auctioned by the Lairmore family of Springfield. Mayo said the family was happy with the price and that both guns went to the same buyer.

The weapons are believed to be among those seized after a raid April 13, 1933, at the outlaws’ apartment hideout near 34th Street and Oak Ridge Drive in Joplin.

Five lawmen in two cars, armed only with handguns, descended on the apartment, and a bloody gunfight ensued. Two of the lawmen — Newton County Constable John Wesley Harryman and Joplin police Detective Harry McGinnis — were killed. Clyde Barrow, Buck Barrow and fellow gang member W.D. “Deacon” Jones were injured.

After the raid, police confiscated guns, a camera and personal items from the apartment, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The film in the camera, which was developed by The Joplin Globe at the time, was of special interest. The images on the film, which include some with the guns, were the first to identify the outlaws. Historians say the publication of those images in newspapers across the country spelled the beginning of the end for the duo.

Until recently, the guns were displayed in the Springfield Police Museum. They have been in the possession of the Lairmore family since the Great Depression.

A police officer at the time of the raid in Joplin gave the weapons to Mark Lairmore, who was a Tulsa, Okla., police detective at the time.

Said Mayo:“This was by far the most exciting auction we have ever conducted. To see something with this kind of history. There was so much excitement.’’

Calif. man arrested after driving SUV into subway tunnel

Calif. man arrested after driving SUV into subway tunnel

By msnbc.com staff


SAN FRANCISCO – Police arrested the driver of an SUV after he headed straight down a tunnel into San Francisco subway system, causing massive delays during Thursday morning’s commute.

Muni Metro spokesman Paul Rose told NBCBayArea. com in San Francisco the vehicle drove into a tunnel on Church Street shortly before 6 a.m. Thursday and headed east toward the Van Ness Station.

The SUV stopped when it got stuck on the tracks, police said.

Police say 40-year-old Scott Mitchell of Sebastopol, Calif., was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, failure to obey a stop sign and driving on train tracks.

"It appears he just drove into the tunnel and his vehicle got stuck when it hit a concrete step," Officer Albie Esparza told The Associated Press. "We believe he was under the influence of alcohol. It's very fortunate that nobody was injured."

No trains were involved, police said.

Witnesses said the driver was traveling about 40 mph when he drove into the the tunnel.

"The whole thing was very surreal," Randall Gerstbacher told the San Francisco Chronicle.

All underground train lines were shut down for hours while crews removed the vehicle and inspected the system, according to San Francisco newspapers.

Trains resumed service by 8:15 a.m., but service was slow moving.

Teacher limits kids' bathroom trips: 3 per week

Teacher limits kids' bathroom trips: 3 per week

By NBC News and news services

Parents at a Brooklyn elementary school are furious over a fifth-grade teacher’s bathroom policy that prohibits students from jetting to the john more than three times a week.

The stringent policy is limited to the Coney Island classroom of PS 90 teacher Stephanie Warner and is not school wide, reports The New York Post.

However, the teacher’s in-depth e-mail explanation of the program to school principal Greta Hawkins earlier this month did not appear to meet with any resistance on the part of the school administrator, according to the paper.

Under Warner’s potty policy, students are given three vouchers a week that entitle them to bathroom visits. A poster hanging on her classroom wall outlines the bathroom rules and explains that students who do not use all three of the vouchers may hand in leftover ones at the end of the week in exchange for tickets they can redeem for small prizes.

The potty policy came to light when one of Warner’s students mentioned the vouchers to his mother.
Photos and Videos
Parent Sandra Leon told the Post she was outraged by the rules, which her son said were imposed because Warner thought students’ frequent bathroom breaks disrupted class.

Warner did not respond to the Post’s request for comment.

Hawkins did not respond to a Post e-mail inquiry either, but a Department of Education spokeswoman told the paper Hawkins planned to put an end to the program and reiterated it had never been enforced school wide.

Casey Anthony Offered Strip Club Job

Rumor has it that Casey Anthony has resettled in southeastern Florida's Treasure Coast and she's already getting job offers and special -- yet unfriendly -- deals from the locals.

Anthony's whereabouts have been a mystery since she was acquitted of murdering her daughter, Caylee, in July.
In recent days, however, reports indicate that the 25-year-old moved to Port St. Lucie or nearby Palm City.

The welcoming management of strip club Body Talk in Port St. Lucie put a message on the nudie bar's marquee saying "Hey Casey We Are Hiring," according to TV station WTSP.

It's a serious opportunity, said the manager, adding that Anthony seems to be qualified, perhaps a reference to infamous photos of her competing in a hot body contest while her daughter was allegedly missing.

A travel agent also has a standing offer for Anthony too, but it's because he's unhappy that she's supposedly surfaced in the area. Go With God Travel agent Brian Scheuble will book a free, one-way ticket to anywhere in the world for Anthony if she agrees not to return to Florida, according to The Orlando Sentinel.

As an alternate option, Scheuble told news outlets that if Anthony agreed to attend the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. he'd pay for an airline ticket and hotel room.

Speculation over Anthony's new address shifted to Palm City following a Daily Beast article claiming that a church there is giving her sanctuary and that its pastor has become her spiritual counselor.

Cross Church pastor Steve Camp didn't confirm or deny that Anthony joined his flock, but the article's reporter said it was "conspicuous" that "no trespassing" signs ringed the property.
 
Mild demonstrations from opponents materialized near the church, according to WPTV, with people brandishing signs saying "Hide Your Kids." Passersby who support Anthony yelled from their cars that she's innocent, the station said.

Anthony, who was convicted separately of check fraud in Orlando, must live in Florida while she serves probation for a year.

Man Marries Dead Girlfriend


A man recently married his deceased girlfriend in a combination funeral and wedding ceremony.

Chadil Deffy, also known as Deff Yingyuen, placed a ring on the finger of Sarinya "Anne" Kamsook, his girlfriend of 10 years, during the ceremony in Thailand's Surin province.

The couple had planned to get married in the future, but Yingyuen wanted to focus on his studies before tying the knot, the Thai-Asean News (TAN) Network reported.

Unfortunately, Kamsook unexpectedly died in an accident before the couple could set a date.

According to the Pattaya Daily News, the couple met at Thailand's Eastern Asia University nearly a decade ago, and wreaths were placed around campus in memory of Kamsook following her death.

Photos and footage of the ceremony were posted on Facebook and YouTube.

And while some thought the service a bit strange, others expressed their sympathy for the groom.

"...I didn't know her, but in your photos, she looks young and full of life. I can't image the impact her death has caused in the lives of her loved ones. It was a very moving gesture of love, very moving. It makes you rethink a lot of things in life, things you take for granted," Facebook user Alejandra Yanez wrote in spanish on Yingyuen's page.

Onsiri Pravattiyagul, a friend of the groom, wrote an opinion column addressing Yingyuen's intentions and the media speculation his story has prompted.

The piece, featured on the Bangkok Times, included the following:

Chadil wrote matter-of-factly online -- and would later give interviews in the same vein -- explaining that the motivation for this display was guilt, pure and simple: He felt he hadn't done enough for his girlfriend of 10 years while she was alive. Before her sudden death in a road accident, she had suggested that he marry her. But he had demurred, putting the idea on hold.
The "wedding" was his attempt to right a wrong, however belated the gesture might have been.

Body was in drain for 30 hours

Body was in drain for 30 hours 
Photo / Hana Garrett-Walker


A man who died retrieving keys from a stormwater drain in central Wellington had been in it for about 30 hours before his body was found.

A member of the public found 43-year-old Peter Black's body in a car park near national museum Te Papa, close to the central Wellington waterfront, about noon on Sunday.

Detective Inspector Paul Basham said preliminary results of a post-mortem examination carried out yesterday and police inquiries indicated the Johnsonville man's death was accidental.

Police had initially been treating the death as unexplained and suspicious.

"Whilst the Coroner will determine the exact cause of death, it appears Mr Black dropped his car keys down the storm water culvert and had attempted to retrieve them.

"Police recovered a set of keys in the storm water culvert belonging to the deceased, as a result of a thorough scene examination.''

A police spokeswoman said police believed Mr Black entered the drain about 6am on Saturday morning to get his keys and was unable to get out.

Flowers have been placed at the drain, which has been covered and cordoned off by road cones.
Mr Black worked at Metal Construction in Wellington's Ngauranga suburb.

Police would continue inquiries into his death on behalf of the coroner, who would then rule on cause of death.

Woman accused of bringing 5-year-old son on bank heist

 Woman accused of bringing 5-year-old son on bank heist 
BY FRANK MAIN Staff Reporter/fmain@suntimes.com

State child welfare officials said Saturday they are investigating a report that a Lake County woman brought her 5-year-old son with her while she accompanied her boyfriend on a bank robbery.

Lauri L. Ruble, of Antioch, and Brandon Stancliff have been charged in federal court with robbing Wauconda Community Bank in Island Lake on Dec. 29. Ruble was ordered released on $5,000 bail Thursday.

Ruble allegedly told the FBI she was upset with herself for putting her son in danger. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is investigating allegations of abuse and neglect against the couple, a spokesman said.

The spokesman said he could not comment on the boy’s status.

Ruble allegedly told the FBI that Stancliff grabbed a bandana and butcher knife from her kitchen and they both left her home with her son to rob the bank. She put her son in a car seat and they drove to the bank, she said.

Ruble went into the bank asking whether there was a change-counting machine — a ruse to learn how many tellers were there, according to an FBI affidavit. Stancliff then went into the bank with the orange bandana covering his tattooed face, authorities said. He allegedly displayed the knife, demanded money and fled with $4,800. An informant seeking a reward identified Ruble and Stancliff as the suspects, the FBI said. They were arrested Dec. 30.

It wasn’t the first time a woman allegedly brought a child with her to a robbery in the Chicago area. In 2007, Lyndsey Tucker was charged with robbing a Lake in the Hills bank with a knife while her 4-year-old daughter sat in the SUV she was driving. Tucker was sentenced to 53 months in prison.

Cops Believe Inmate Hid 10-Inch Revolver In His Rectum.

A man arrested this week in North Carolina may have stashed a .38 barrel revolver in his rectum, according to police, who reported that the unloaded 10-inch weapon was not discovered until after the suspect had been booked into a cell in the county jail.

Michael Leon Ward, a 22-year-old Georgia resident, was arrested Monday after a trooper spotted him speeding. Ward, who resisted arrest, was subdued with the help of a stun gun. A subsequent search of his vehicle resulted in additional charges for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

But it was only after Ward--who is a fugitive on a murder warrant out of Atlanta--entered the Onslow County jail that sheriff’s investigators discovered what else he possessed.

According to cops, Ward, pictured at right, summoned jailers to his cell, claiming that someone was trying to kill him, and that he discovered a gun inside his cell. The weapon was found in the toilet, where Ward claimed he tossed it after finding it in his bunk.

The recovered gun is pictured in the above police evidence photo. 

Sheriff’s investigators say they are investigating how Ward got the weapon into the jail, since he had been “strip searched prior to being booked into a cell block.” The inmate, a press release notes, was taken today to a local hospital “for possible injuries that may have occurred to Ward’s rectum where it is believed Ward may have concealed” the revolver.

The gun, deputies reported, was test fired and found to be operational.

Hospital mistakenly sends man $44 million bill

Patients don't normally get sick once they've returned home from the hospital, but one New York resident said he almost became ill when he received a whopping $44.8 million bill from the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center.

“I almost had an asthma attack,” Alexis Rodriguez, 28, told The New York Daily News.

Rodriguez, a doorman who is currently unemployed, is one of several hundred patients getting billed for tens of millions of dollars because of a computer error at the New York City hospital.

He told The Daily News that initially, he thought the bill was legitimate because he had received a large bill last spring when he was hospitalized for pneumonia for three weeks — although that bill was in the tens of thousands of dollars, not millions.

This hospital visit, again for pneumonia, was for outpatient services, reported The Daily News. The $44,776,587 bill should have amounted to no more than $300.

The error occurred beceause the company that prepares the bills had mistakenly put the invoice number in the space where the invoice amount should go.

"We are sending an apology letter to everyone who received" the multi-million dollar bills, PHY Services representative told The Daily News, adding that the company will send out corrected invoices.

The hospital didn't immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday, The Associated Press reported.

Rodriguez told The Daily News that while he was glad he wouldn't be charged more than his actual bill, he was still upset with the company's carelessness.

“I think they should have somebody look over the bills before they send them out," he said. “I understand manpower may be down, but to send out a lot of bills with numbers that big — someone could have had a heart attack.”

Man poisoned wife’s Rice Krispies with chemicals in attempt to kill her!

Snap, Crackle, Murder?

Police say a California man slipped enough chemicals into his wife's Rice Krispies cereal last week in attempt to kill her.

Fernando Porras, 43, is being held on $1 million bail and is expected to be charged with attempted murder for filling his wife’s bowl of breakfast cereal with Goof Off.

Porras's daughter Fernanda, 17, called 911 after her mother said the cereal smelled and tasted awful.

“She goes ‘something’s in it, something’s in it,’" Fernanda told KCAL-TV. “So I went and picked it up and when I saw what was in the cup, I could smell it and I was like ‘oh my gosh, this is a chemical.’”

Porras became a suspect when he excused himself to smoke a cigarette after they arrived at the hospital, and never returned.

"He walked away from the hospital," Cpl. Randy Schmidt told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

Officers tracked him down and arrested him roughly two miles away.

“It is an unusual case,” Sergeant Dewayne Eldridge told KCAL. “We normally don’t get cases such as this."
The victim, 51, was released Friday morning in good condition, according to police. Porras is due in court on Tuesday.

His daughter expressed shock over the incident.

“It’s my dad,” she told KCAL on Saturday. “It’s hard not to think about, you know, why would he do it?”

Woman loses arm to flesh-eating bacteria from bath salts


By JoNel Aleccia



A New Orleans woman’s experiment with the illicit drugs dubbed “bath salts” cost her her arm -- and nearly her life -- after she was ravaged by flesh-eating bacteria that invaded an injection site. 

The 34-year-old woman showed up at a Louisiana hospital complaining of pain and redness on her right forearm, where there was a puncture wound the woman admitted was a needle stick. She said the symptoms started two days after she injected bath salts at party, according to a case report published online in the journal Orthopedics.

Doctors gave her strong antibiotics for a skin infection and she seemed to get better. Two days later, however, the patient was still in pain. On closer examination, doctors discovered growing redness, sloughing skin and a smelly drainage, the report said.

Suspecting a growing infection, doctors immediately sent the woman into surgery. They quickly discovered dead muscle surrounding the injection site in her forearm, and an infection moving so fast doctors could see it killing healthy tissue in its path, the report said.

Fearing for the woman's life, doctors removed her right arm and shoulder and stripped away the dead muscle. They also performed a radical mastectomy and cut away more unhealthy skin. 

The final diagnosis was necrotizing fasciitis caused by streptococcus bacteria. Such flesh-eating infections can kill quickly, with victims requiring surgery within an average of 25 hours of admission in order to survive, according to one study.

Dr. Russell Russo,  a third-year orthopedic resident at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, was the lead author on the paper. He and the other authors worried that the growing popularity of illicit bath salts could spur a rise in the deadly infections.

The drugs, which are powerful synthetic stimulants, became popular in Western Europe in 2009 and showed up in the U.S. in Louisiana and Kentucky in August 2010. They’ve been smoked, snorted, taken orally and, now, injected. 

In 2010, the American Association of Poison Control centers received about 300 calls about bath salts. Last year, the number climbed to more than 6,000, records show.

At least 16 states have enacted emergency bans on bath salts and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency banned three chemicals used to make them last fall. But Russo and his colleagues are warning other emergency department health workers to be vigilant when patients show up with skin infections after injections. 

“The best treatment is prevention with public, street-based education and early detection,” Russo wrote.

Kansas Mom Enters Plea in Baby Blow Dryer Death

A 20-year-old  mother who left a hair dryer running to warm her baby daughter on a cold night, has pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter in the infant’s death.

Brigit Hippen’s plea to a lesser charge prevents the Hutchinson, Kan., woman from going to trial for murder for a second time in the death of her child.  Jurors in the first case failed to reach a verdict, resulting in mistrial.

According to prosecutors, Hippen placed her 2- month-old daughter Karina Perez in a bassinet in the bathroom, rested a blow dryer on the counter, and fell asleep.

Doctors said the child’s temperature reached a fatal 108 degrees.

“We prosecuted this because we felt this went well beyond negligence,” said Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder. “Our position was that it was more than the negligence of a new mom.”

Hippen’s attorney disagrees.

“This was just a horrible, tragic accident,” said David Harger, who represents Hippen.

Harger said it was a cold night, and Hippen had placed the hooded bassinet in the bathroom and turned on the blow dryer a few feet away, hoping the warmth and sound would lull the baby to sleep.  Hippen and the baby’s father  were watching a movie in the next room, and accidentally fell asleep.

The hooded bassinet apparently acted like an oven, trapping the heat, and causing the child’s death from hyperthermia.

“She’s devastated,” Harger said of his client. “It took us an hour just to get her into the courtroom. She’s just an emotional wreck.”

Hippen and her boyfriend have since had another child, a little boy.   She now faces from two to 11 years in prison, but under state guidelines a judge could sentence her to as little as probation.

“Every way you cut it, this is still a tragedy for everyone involved,” said District Attorney Schroeder.

Hippen also faces criminal charges in a separate incident for allegedly punching another woman in the face for dancing with her boyfriend, and for damaging the woman’s car.

She will be sentenced in her daughter’s death Feb. 24, nearly two years to the day Karina’s death.

Man surrenders 94 hamsters to MSPCA

LAWRENCE — More than 90 hamsters were found in one man's apartment, well-cared for and kept in aquariums, buckets and Tupperware containers. 

The Boehm Street man had 94 hamsters in total and decided on his own it was just too many. He went to the MSPCA's Small Animal Shelter at Nevins Farm in Methuen last week to let officials there know he had a large number of hamsters he wanted to surrender. 

"The situation was not dire, so we asked him to wait a week so we could prepare for them," said Mike Keiley, director at the Methuen shelter. 

Keiley said the man planned to take a cab to the shelter to turn over the hamsters. Instead, the MSPCA officials sent a van with two workers and the city's Animal Control Officer Ellen Bistany to the home yesterday to pick them up. 

"He started with one hamster, and there got to be more and more," Keiley said. 

Keiley said the man knew he was running out of room for the hamsters. 

"They are all in good health and will make nice pets for people," Keiley said. "There are just many, many of them. He ran out of space for them and that's when he came in." 

Keiley said some of the hamsters would be sent to other shelters in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. 

Those shelters would take from three to 12 of the animals each. He said the hamsters remaining at the shelter would be put up for adoption for a $10 fee. 

Bistany said the man was emotional at giving up his beloved pets. 

"He was overwhelmed," she said. "At first, he wanted to keep a couple of them, but then he changed his mind." 

The man had been keeping the hamsters for about five years, officials said.

Accused repeated 911 caller popped after reports of Fort Pierce Checker Cab kidnapping


A man accused of calling 911 seven times and saying he'd been "kidnapped by Checker Cab" was arrested by St. Lucie County Sheriff's officials on a misdemeanor charge, according to a recently released affidavit.

A sheriff's deputy Jan. 8 went to a Checker Cab facility on Glenview Avenue in Fort Pierce after a dispatch official said Paul Coombs, 38, dialed 911 from inside a Checker Cab and said he was being kidnapped.

The cab driver took Coombs back to the cab depot because of his "erratic behavior." Coombs smelled strongly of booze, appeared intoxicated, looked to have "urinated himself" and "rambled incoherently." 

"He stated the cab driver kidnapped him and he did not know what was going on," an affidavit states. 

The cabby said he tried to take Coombs to his home "somewhere off of Cortez (Boulevard)," but Coombs "possibly due to his intoxicated state" couldn't give his specific address.

"Coombs then became belligerent and accused the cab driver of kidnapping him," the affidavit states.

He ended up paying the $20 cab fare and asked to walk home.

In less than an hour beginning at 12:52 a.m., Coombs made a series of seven calls to 911 to report being kidnapped by Checker Cab, the affidavit states. 

Told to stop dialing 911 or face possible incarceration, Coombs said he had a checkbook and didn't care about going to jail.

Coombs, of the 2100 block of Linda Sue Circle in Fort Pierce, was arrested on a public order crimes/misuse of 911 or 911 system charge.

Woman gets jail time for messy yard

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C.- A woman who failed to pay a $480 fine for having a messy yard was sentenced to 10 days in jail, but came home a few days early on Thursday to find an overwhelming amount of support from strangers in her community.

Linda Ruggles, a 53-year-old Mount Pleasant, S.C., resident, is a photographer whose business tanked during the recession, The Associated Press reported. She was fined in 2010 after neighbors complained about the debris outside her home.

But when Ruggles' story was published earlier this week in the Charleston Post and Courier, she received some help from unexpected sources.

Ruggles' problems began in 2008, when plans to repair her home stalled and the economy soured. Unopened packages of shingles have sat on her roof for three years, The Post and Courier reported, and she's been collecting scrap metal and other items in her driveway that she hopes to sell to help pay her bills.

The town cited Ruggles for a "clean lot violation" in December 2010 after neighbors complained, saying her mess was driving down their property values.

A municipal judge ordered Ruggles to pay the fine or go to jail for 10 days. Officials say she didn’t pay the fine within 90 days and then ignored court appearances and warnings from the town. After a year of trying to resolve the situation, Ruggles was arrested on Jan. 5.

"We went well beyond what we were required to do," Police Chief Harry Sewell, who told The Post and Courier he even knocked on her door personally in the hopes of finding a solution, said. "We really did take a compassionate approach."

Ruggles told police she couldn't pay the $480 fine because she was using every cent she earned to prevent her home from going into foreclosure. According to The Post and Courier, she has sold blood and even volunteered for medical experiments to keep her home.

Some help from strangers
Six days into her jail sentence, however, she was released. Police told The Post and Courier they shaved a few days off of her sentence.


When she came home, Ruggles' messy yard was still there, but many of her problems were about to be alleviated. 

A contractor said he would shingle her leaky roof. Landscapers offered to clean up the yard. A realty group wanted to help with other home repairs. All for free. 

Others told The Post and Courier they wanted to help with financial donations. 

Ruggles, who The Post and Courier reported was happy to learn she also hadn't been fired from her part-time job at a local supermarket while she was in jail, told the newspaper, “I’m really overwhelmed. I’m so thankful and appreciative people want to help.”

Woman says her fake penis got her fired

IS THAT a Fruit-A-Freeze in your pocket - or are you just happy to see me?

A northeastern Pennsylvania woman is suing a South Jersey-based maker of frozen treats and other snack foods, claiming that she was wrongfully fired because she wore a prosthetic penis to work.

Pauline Davis, 45, wore the device to the J&J Snack Foods plant in Moosic, Lackawanna County, while she contemplated a gender change, according to a federal civil-rights complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Scranton. She confided in several co-workers about the device, and someone told management, according to the complaint.

She subsequently was fired from her job as a packer/line inspector. Her termination, she claims, was discriminatory because a male co-worker who wore female clothing and prostheses and took hormone treatments was not fired nor disciplined.

Further, argued her Bucks County-based attorney, Lalena J. Turchi, her fake penis was concealed and "in no way interfered with her ability to do her job."

Davis filed a complaint in March 2010 with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission office in Philadelphia, claiming gender and gender-identity discrimination.

She is seeking back pay, damages for suffering and humiliation, and punitive damages, according to this week's lawsuit.

The Daily News tried unsuccessfully to reach Davis, of Clifford, a Susquehanna County township north of Scranton, for comment. Her attorneys did not return telephone calls or emails yesterday for comment.

J&J Snack Foods Corp., based in Pennsauken, manufactures, markets and distributes treats including soft pretzels, slushies, frozen pops, cookies and churros. A J&J spokeswoman referred comment to a human-resources supervisor, who did not return our telephone call.

Police say suspect threatened to eat them

Seven criminal charges were filed in Tippecanoe County on Wednesday against a Frankfort man accused of stealing a car and issuing a threat to eat the arresting officers, their K-9s and their children.

Paul M. Brock, 39, was charged with two counts of auto theft, resisting law enforcement, intimidation, operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol content of 0.15 percent or more and striking a law enforcement animal.

Police arrested Brock on Friday night after being called to a reported auto theft at the Speedway Gas Station on Elmwood Avenue about 10:03 p.m. Witnesses told police that a man matching Brock's description got into a vehicle that was not his and drove off.

The owner of the vehicle said she left her car unlocked and on because she was warming it up.


Police caught up with Brock after he was spotted pulling into the parking lot of the Pay Less on Maple Point Drive.

Officers used K-9 units to subdue Brock once he exited the vehicle, and Brock kicked one police dog in the head twice during his arrest. Police determined that Brock was intoxicated, and a blood test later showed that he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.26 percent.

When Brock was taken to the hospital for medical clearance, he reportedly told police he would hunt them down and eat them, their dogs and their entire families.

He also demanded to be let out of his handcuffs so he could assault police officers.

After leaving the hospital, Brock was booked into the Tippecanoe County Jail. He remained incarcerated Wednesday night on a $25,000 surety bond.

St. Augustine man charged with using car to hit his mother

A St. Augustine man has been arrested on charges that he hit his mother with her car twice in the driveway of their home, smashed a nearby fence and fled on foot after the car got stuck on a fence post, according to a police report from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.

Anthony M. Migliaccio, 23, was arrested in connection with the crime on Monday evening after deputies found him crouching in the woods along Century Boulevard, the report said.

He is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, hit and run, criminal mischief, all felonies, and resisting arrest without violence, a misdemeanor.

The report says Migliaccio was in the Mazda 323 when his mother walked toward him to get the keys from him because, she said, he wasn’t supposed to be driving.

Migliaccio, who has a suspended license, reportedly drove at her as she walked toward him and hit her, knocking her onto the hood of the car. The report said she fell to the ground, and then he hit her again as she rolled on the ground, screaming, trying to get away from the car, a witness said.

Migliaccio’s mother sustained minor injuries from the attack, the report said, and she was later discharged from Flagler hospital.

He smashed the car into the fence and knocked over a fence post, the report said, and the car got stuck on top of the post and fence. A witness said Migliaccio ran east on Edgewood Place.

Deputies found him on Century Boulevard, arrested him and took him to the St. Johns County jail, where he remains in lieu of $62,000 bond.

12 Ohio Amish plead not guilty in beard-cutting attacks

(CBS/AP) CLEVELAND - Twelve members of a breakaway Amish group charged with hate crimes pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to beard-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in a feud over church discipline.

The seven original defendants arrested in November and five more added last month entered the pleas in a federal courtroom.

U.S. District Judge Dan Aaron Polster refused a defense appeal to release on bond the suspected ringleader, Samuel Mullet Sr., 66, and his son, Johnny Mullet, 37, both of Bergholz, near Steubenville in eastern Ohio.

A feud over church discipline allegedly led to five attacks in which the beards and hair of men and hair of women were cut, which is considered deeply offensive in Amish culture.

The seven-count indictment includes charges of conspiracy, assault and evidence tampering in what prosecutors say were hate crimes motivated by religious differences.

The indictment also charges three other children of Mullet, a son-in-law, three nephews, the spouses of a niece and nephew and a member of the Mullet community in Bergholz.

Mullet told The Associated Press in October that he didn't order the hair-cutting but didn't stop his sons and others from carrying it out. He said the goal was to send a message to other Amish that they should be ashamed of themselves for the way they were treating Mullet and his community.

The original defendants were Mullet's sons Daniel and Lester Mullet; son-in-law Emanuel Schrock; nephew Eli Miller; and community member Levi Miller.

Newly charged were Mullet's daughter Linda Schrock; nephews Lester and Raymond Miller; Anna Miller, the wife of another nephew; and a niece's husband, Freeman Burkholder.

Oneida County medical examiner accused of stealing body part

RHINELANDER — Oneida County Medical Examiner Traci J. England was arrested Wednesday after she kept a human body part from an autopsy for use training a dog, Oneida County District Attorney Michael Bloom said this afternoon.

Oneida County Circuit Court Reserve Judge Conrad Richards ordered that England, 44, of Rhinelander be released from the Oneida County Jail on a $5,000 signature bond. Richards also ordered that she not possess any human body parts.


England has not yet been charged with a crime, but is being investigated on possible charges of misconduct of office and theft.

England attended an autopsy Tuesday and kept part of the deceased person’s spine, Bloom said after the court hearing. England told police that she intended to use the human remains to train one of her dogs to search for human remains, Bloom said.

The investigation began yesterday and he is waiting for additional information from officers before formally filing charges, Bloom said. England is scheduled to be charged Jan. 30.

Woman With Two Vaginas Talks About Her Rare Condition

A woman has spoken out on morning TV about a rare medical condition, which means she has two wombs and two vaginas, also known as uterus didelphys.

Hazel Jones, 27, revealed her one in a million condition on the This Morning show.

Embarrassing Bodies health expert Dr Dawn Harper explained on the show that Hazel's condition occurred because the uterus tube septum failed to break down when Miss Jones was a baby, meaning two uteruses formed instead of one.

Uterus didelphys, more commonly known as ‘double uterus’ happens when a woman’s uterus forms differently and goes on to develop into two uteruses (wombs). While the condition itself is not uncommon, having two separate vaginas is extremely rare.

”The two tubes have made two separate uteruses and two vaginas and two cervixes. And although it's relatively common to have a septum within the uterus, to actually have two separate uteruses is much rarer - one in a million," explained Dr Harper.

MIss Jones first discovered something was wrong when she reached puberty and started her periods at 14.

“That wasn't fun. I used to suffer from horrendous cramps and my periods could be very heavy. I now know that my periods were worse because I have two wombs,” Hazel explained. “It wasn't nice. I had friends and I tried explaining to them I was having problems and they had no idea what I was doing wrong.

“I always noticed there was this thing there,” said the 27-year-old.

She also revealed that she had to lose her virginity twice as she had two hymens - the thin membrane surrounding the external vaginal opening - to break.

She explained: “If you are not aware that you have got this, it can be really uncomfortable as I thought I was having cystitis and urine infections from a young age when I was tearing the middle septum."

However, despite being offered surgery to ‘correct’ her condition, Miss Jones declined, saying: "They have to treat you like they would a post-op transsexual because if you have something removed from an area like that there's a risk of healing back together. You have to have it separated all the time and it can be very uncomfortable and cause scar tissue."

Doctors have also warned that Hazel may experience complications if she decides to start a family as she is at higher risk of late miscarriage, premature birth and bleeding during pregnancy.

She said: "I'm told that if I get pregnant I've got to be careful I don't get pregnant again in the other side because you can have pregnancies that are months apart. There is an increased risk of giving a breached birth and risk of bleeding while pregnant."
