<b>Florida Boy Arrested For Gas Attack</b>
12-year-old charged after deliberately "breaking wind" in class
NOVEMBER 21--A 12-year-old Florida student was arrested earlier this month after he "deliberately passed gas to disrupt the class," according to police. The child, who was also accused of shutting off the computers of classmates at Stuart's Spectrum Jr./Sr. High School, was busted November 4 for disruption of a school function. A Martin County Sheriff's Office report, a copy of which you'll find below, notes that the 4' 11" offender admitted that he "continually disrupted his classroom environment by breaking wind and shutting off several computers." The boy, whose name was redacted from the police report released today, was turned over to his mother following the arrest. The young perp turned 13 on November 15.
Was it his breaking of the wind that shut down several computers? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Sat Nov 22, 3:30 pm ET LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – An Arkansas man has been sentenced to prison for fatally shooting a stylist who was taking too long to braid his hair.
Thirty-year-old Kerry Rendall Wilson of Little Rock was sentenced Friday to 24 years for second-degree murder. He will be eligible for parole in six years.
Wilson's lawyer says his client was high on marijuana dipped in formaldehyde when 39-year-old Henrietta Jones was killed in November 2007.
But the lawyer, Bill James, says one of the woman's sons actually killed her.

Authorities said they’ve arrested a suspect in the rash of so-called “Butt Bandit†vandalism cases. County Attorney Eric Scott said a 35-year-old man was arrested early Wednesday morning. Formal charges have not yet been filed. For more than a year, the man has been skipping from one business to another at night, leaving his strange mark. He used some lotion and petroleum jelly for pressing his groins, his naked buttocks, or both on windows. Store owners, church workers and school janitors have had to wash lotion and petroleum jelly off the windows he selects. Some residents of Valentine, a remote central US town of about 2,650 people, find some humor in the strange brand of graffiti and had dubbed the vandal the “Butt Bandit.†They, however, also cannot help but cringe when they find the vandals marks. “We were completely grossed out. One day I walked into the office and an employee said, â€Oh, my God, weâ€ve been struck! said Kalli Kieborz, who works in a downtown building.
Valentine Police Chief Ben McBride called it “the weirdest case I’ve ever seen.†The police chief says that he does not find it amusing. “It’’s not funny. Weâ€re worried about the next step,â€â€ McBride said.
He revealed that the incidents started occurring in spring 2007, when the window of a Methodist church was greased with an imprint. Though McBride figured it was a high school prank, the church kept getting hit. According to him, the bandit struck business after business last summer, and then such occurrences stopped over the fall and winter. “People said he was done. Then he started back up this summer,â€â€ he said. McBride also revealed that virtually all the windows at a local hotel were imprinted during a particularly brazen session. He says that no one has reported seeing the vandal in action, and that the only clue is a blurry picture of him caught by a surveillance camera at the middle school last year. The video shows that the man was 1.8 metres tall or slightly taller, slender, and had a dark complexion.
McBride said that the man’s dark hair was styled in a “1980s, feathered lookâ€<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Wednesday, November 26, 2008
SANTA FE, N.M. — A man is in a northern New Mexico jail, accused of driving drunk and leading police on a chase that finally ended with him running over himself.
Roy Travis Aguilar, 21, was treated for minor injuries at a Santa Fe hospital and booked into the Sandoval County detention center on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated, fleeing a police officer, careless driving and two other outstanding traffic warrants.
A tip on a police hot line Sunday afternoon reported a possible drunken driver on a highway.
State Police Officer Grace Romero spotted Aguilar's pickup truck swerving across both lanes of the highway, driving slowly and then fast. He refused to stop.
After narrowly missing other vehicles, police said Aguilar drove through a ditch and a barbed-wire fence before stopping. He tried to put the truck into park, but it ended up in reverse.
Police said Aguilar fell from his open door and both of his legs were run over by the front driver's side tire.<b>Batman killed by his OWN dad</b>
By SIMON ROTHSTEIN
Published: 28 Nov 2008
THE world’s most famous comic book hero has breathed his last Bat breath.
Bruce Wayne – who by night is Batman – gets murdered by a man claiming to be the father he thought was dead.
In a highly controversial new storyline Bruce, who first appeared in 1939, is killed by Simon Hurt – the leader of the shady Black Glove organisation.
Simon claims he is really Dr Thomas Wayne, saying he faked his own passing when Bruce was a child.
The superhero dies when he tries to stop his foe escaping by helicopter in the new comic Batman R.I.P.
Bad father ... Batman's dad
Writer Grant Morrison said: “This is so much better than death. People have killed characters in the past but to me, that kind of ends the story!
"I like to keep the story twisting and turning. So what I am doing is a fate worse than death. Things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all.
"This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman."
Batman will live on though, with another character filling his Batsuit. Two likely contenders are Dick Grayson - the original Robin - or current Boy Wonder, Tim Drake.

Monday, 1 December 2008
An Irish judge has thrown out two separate drink-driving cases because of the danger the defendants inhaled alcohol from their own urine while in garda custody.
The rulings, by Judge James O'Connor, came as there was increasing concern at government level over the high number of non-convictions in drink-driving cases.
Last month, at Killorglin District Court in Kerry, two separate drink-driving cases were dismissed after the presiding judge ruled that the steam of the defendants' urine could have affected their alcohol readings taken during subsequent breath testing.
They were not the first cases where Judge O'Connor has agreed with defence submissions that inhalation of urine fumes could have skewed breath-test results and cases should be dismissed. The law requires that a person suspected of drink driving must be observed by a garda for 20 minutes at a garda station before their breath sample is taken.
During that 20-minute period they must not consume anything by mouth.
In both cases, the solicitor, Mr O'Connell, argued that during this 20-minute period both his clients had used a toilet to urinate. Because the two men urinated with their backs to the prosecuting garda, the 20-minute observation period had been interrupted. The solicitor argued that a new 20-minute observation period should have begun when his clients returned from the toilet and that the cases should be dismissed.
Judge O'Connor agreed. He stated that the purpose of the 20-minute observation period is to ensure nothing is taken by mouth that may affect the reading from the breath test.
"Nil by mouth is the same as nil by nose," Judge O'Connor declared. "When he is urinating, he is inhaling vapourised alcohol and there's always steam off it."
Assistant Garda Commissioner Eddie Rock, who is in charge of the Garda Traffic Corps, said yesterday that the two cases which were dismissed in Killorglin served to highlight the difficulties faced by gardai in successfully prosecuting cases of alleged drink driving.
"I don't think it is appropriate for me to say anymore about it at this stage," he said.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<b>Holy cow, this Ohio woman is an udder disgrace!</b>
Michele Allen, 32, will spend the next month in jail after admitting to a wild drunken weekend dressed in this silly cow outfit, said Middletown, Ohio, authorities.
"Michele is pretty well known to us. She's 'struggled,' to say the least," Middletown Municipal Court Judge Mark Wall told The Post.
Wall sentenced Allen to 30 days in jail for her oddball escapade.
She had been hired to wear the outfit to advertise for a local "haunted trail" theme park.
While at work Saturday evening, Allen hit the sauce hard and then stumbled into the streets - blocking traffic and chasing kids, said Police Major Mark Hoffman.
Allen also urinated in a nearby yard during the drunken grazing, cops said.
"It's curious. When I think of Halloween or a haunted trail, I don't think of cows as being scary - although this one was," Hoffman said.
As cops hauled her away, the haunted trail's manager snatched the cow mask away from Allen, but officers let her keep the rest of the outfit.
"It appeared that's all she had on," Hoffman said.
Allen dried out in jail over the weekend - all the while wearing the cow costume.
Jail policy allows for inmates to wear prison garb in the clink, but only after a defendant's first court appearance.
<img src="http://www.nypost.com/seven/09302008/photos/cow.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
Despite having two nights to sober up, Allen was in a foul mood Monday, yelling at jailers.
"She was challenging people to 'suck her udders,' " Hoffman said. "I'm not joking."
Once Allen arrived in court, she grazed peacefully, Judge Wall said.
She waived her right to a lawyer and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
Allen has been in trouble before. She has an outstanding "failure to appear on a solicitation" rap and still owes $2,733 on that offense.
"I gave her the maximum [30 days] because I think she's more a danger to herself than the community," Wall said.
Two publicly listed phone numbers for Allen were disconnected, and no family member could be reached for comment.
The judge said facing a cow-dressed defendant was new for him.
"We get people dressed in various attire when they're in court," he said. "But this was a first, someone dressed as a cow."
