Transient man skinned and ate cat

A transient man was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of skinning and eating cat while he camped in a warehouse in Phoenix, according to Maricopa County Superior Court documents.

The owners of a warehouse in Phoenix that was often used as a music venue reported a burglary after they opened the building and heard blaring music, according to the documents.

Police found Russell Christopher Hofstad, 24, inside of the building with a painted face and wearing the tail and intestines of the cat around his neck, according to the documents.

Hofstad said that he killed the cat because he was hungry. He also said he was going to taxidermy the cat and use the skeleton as party decorations, according to the documents.

Hofstad was released from jail Jan.10 and said that he had no where else to go so he decided to go to the building because he had been there before for raves, according to the documents.

According to court documents, Hofstad deployed a fire extinguisher and left empty alcohol bottles throughout the building.

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

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.
