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."

Image of Virgin Mary appears at hamburger restaurant

Tampa, Florida -- An Ybor City restaurant's name has taken on a new meaning after some say the image of the Virgin Mary appeared on one of its walls.


The restaurant is Hamburger Mary's and the image first got attention over the weekend after some customers noted its appearance on a stainless steel plate on the wall near the kitchen.



"From certain angles it does look like the Virgin Mary," says acting manager Melanie Todd.  "I never have noticed it myself, before [this weekend]."

This isn't the first time the Blessed Virgin has appeared on an inanimate object in Tampa Bay.  For several years an image said to be her adorned the glass windows of a Clearwater office building. Vandals destroyed the several of the windows in 2004.

Todd says the image at the restaurant -- known for its gay karaoke and drag queen bingo nights -- reminds her of that earlier appearance in Clearwater. "Everybody is curious to see it," she says. "It's a true image, it really is."

Whether or not it's divine in origin, people seeing faces or things out of shapes is a rather common phenomenon called pareidolia.

Todd hopes that the faithful who may now flock to her restaurant will then stay for some food and a drink.
"We need as much guidance and overlooking as we can get!" she says with a laugh.

Des Moines police officer assaulted with toy monkey

A man arrested in a theft from a convenience store is accused of attacking a police officer with one of the stolen items — a stuffed monkey.

Preston James Phipps, 24, of Des Moines, was arrested late Saturday night after allegedly causing problems at the Git-N-Go convenience store at 2601 S.W. Ninth St. in Des Moines.

Police Officer Andrew Pirtle said in a report that he saw a man carrying two stuffed animals leaving the store about 10:20 p.m. Moments later the officer was flagged down and informed that the man had just made a mess in the store.

Officer Pirtle stopped the man near Southwest Ninth and Loomis Avenue. As they talked, Pirtle noted the man’s mood switched quickly from passive to aggressive. When Pirtle tried to take Phipps into custody, Phipps allegedly swung around and hit the officer in the face with a stuffed monkey.

The officer managed to control the man’s hands and apply handcuffs.

Phipps was in jail on Monday, charged with fifth-degree theft, disorderly conduct and assault on a police officer. Bond was set at $1,600.

A clerk at the store said that when she asked him what he was doing behind the counter, Phipps replied, “Don’t you worry about it. I’m going back to prison anyway.”

Police said Phipps took one pair of sunglasses, two stuffed animals (pink and orange monkeys) and two packs of smokeless tobacco.

Judge Judy Sparks 'Mad' Hammer Attack: Police

Janet Ann Knowles apparently doesn't like Judge Judy.

The 62-year-old Jupiter woman was arrested Sunday on aggravated battery charges after he hit a 65-year-old man on the head with a hammer after she got "upset with Judge Judy," according to a police report obtained by the Palm Beach Post.

According to the report, the man was sitting on his recliner watching the judge's show when Knowles lost her cool and attacked him with the hammer.

When officers responded to the home, they found the unnamed victim holding bloody paper towels to his head, where he'd sustained a large cut, the report said.

Knowles told the officers she was upset "Judge Judy" was on the TV and became "mad" and hit the man with the hammer, the report said.

The report said Knowles had trouble holding a conversation and started talking about a neighbor and what the neighbor was wearing.

Knowles was arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County jail, where she remains held without bond. It was unknown whether she has an attorney.

The victim, whose relationship to Knowles was unknown, was treated for his injuries at the scene.

'Who'll give me $20million for my son?' Saudi man tries to sell his boy on Facebook

A Saudi man is trying to sell his son on Facebook for around $20million to avoid 'living in poverty' after his illegal business was shut down, it was reported today.

Saud bin Nasser Al Shahry claims trafficking his son is the only option to continue providing for his wife and daughter.

He says he is willing to go to court to complete the sale, the only condition of which is to know which city the buyer lives in.

It is not clear whether his actions are merely a publicity stunt or, if genuine, whether he would be able to carry out the sale without redress.

Human trafficking is an offence in Saudi Arabia, but the country does not comply with minimum international standards, according to the U.S. Department of State. 

In recent reports, quoted in Venture Beat, it said the Saudi government 'continues to lack adequate anti-trafficking laws, and, despite evidence of widespread trafficking abuses, did not report any criminal prosecutions, convictions or prison sentences for trafficking crimes committed against foreign domestic workers.'

Facebook is also unlikely to allow such a sale through its website.

According to its Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, users 'will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes or violates someone else’s rights or otherwise violates the law.'

Around half of all Saudi children face domestic violence or some kind of abuse, it is claimed by a Saudi Arabian human rights group, The National Society for Human Rights.

Dealership car taken on a long, long test drive

A man was arrested simply for taking a test drive around Milwaukee.

The car dealer he took the test drive from was in Madison.

According to the Madison Police Department, the 47-year-old man and the dealer had a different understanding of how such transactions work.

"You just don't take it for a 15-minute test drive," the department quoted the driver as saying.

The two-hour test drive landed the man a tentative charge of operating a motor vehicle without consent of the owner.

The dealer, A to Z Auto on S. Stoughton Road in Madison, contacted police Friday afternoon and reported a 2000 Nissan Altima stolen. He said the man wanted to test drive the car.

Usually, the dealer sits in the passenger seat during test drive, and he had gotten in the vehicle with the 47-year-old man.

But the dealer was interrupted by other customers. When he got out of the Altima, the driver took off, according to police.

Just before 8 p.m., officers were sent to Northport Drive, which is about a seven mile drive from the dealership. The man said his test drive involved driving to Milwaukee to get money to buy the car.

The man said he had every intention of returning the car to the dealer the next day.

The Police Department acknowledged this could have been a misunderstanding.

"The public should be reminded in a case of this nature to review dealership expectations about how long a reasonable test drive should be, and an anticipated distance to be driven before the vehicle leaves the premises," the department said.

Bungee jumper survives fall after cord snaps

A 22-year-old tourist in Africa who was looking to start 2012 with a memorable experience ended up having a close call. 

Bungee jumper Erin Langworthy was 365 feet in the air when the unthinkable happened. Her bungee cord snapped sending her plummeting head-first into the crocodile-infested waters of the Zambezi River, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

With her legs still tied and a broken collarbone, she was pulled downstream towards the raging rapids. Somehow, the Australian young woman managed to keep her head above water and swim to some rocks near the riverbank to wait to be rescued.

"They put me on my back, and all the water I inhaled meant I couldn't breathe. They rolled me to my side, and I coughed out water and blood," Langworthy said.

Langworthy told Nine Network television news Sunday that she blacked out briefly when she hit the river on Dec. 31.

"I felt like I'd been slapped all over," the 22-year-old from Perth said. "You get sucked under and then you pop up so it's very disorienting -- I didn't know which was up or down."

She said the trailing cord repeatedly snagged, so she "had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface."

The 22-year-old spent a week in the hospital but amazingly suffered no major injuries.

The jump from the Victoria Falls Bridge is operated by Safari Par Excellence, whose website describes the bungee experience as "111 meters (365 feet) of pure Adrenalin!"
