Think of it as Thelma & Louise 2: F2M. Two employees of a Phoenix Wal-Mart are in police custody after having robbed the store of $45,000. Half of the money was spent on a getaway car; the other half was set aside so that one of them could have surgery to become a man.
A man in Mexico City apparently kept his girlfriend's two daughters as sex slaves for seven years, fathering five children before killing one of the girls and her daughter. He also used his stepson as a slave, forcing him to collect scraps for recycling and beating him if he returned empty handed.
The next time you frequent an exotic cabaret, you may want to insist your evening's entertainment produce an official stripper's license — for there are impostors afoot! Such was the case at Baby Dolls, a fine gentlemen's establishment in Clearwater, Florida, where 25-year-old Natalie M. Behnke — described by the St. Petersburg Times as a "local transient" and "habitual juvenile offender" — was arrested on Tuesday night after putting on an unsolicited show of her own.
How badly did Gumby screw up his attempted robbery of a San Diego 7-11? Well, really badly: Not only did he not, in fact, steal anything, he actually gave money to the clerk.
The DeKalb County Library in Atlanta takes their silence very seriously. Donnetta Foster is a 20-year-old student and single mom who, back in 2010, was looking for a job on the library computers. She was then ejected from the premises when her son, 14-month-old Savon, made "a laughing noise while looking at an animal flash card." This did not sit well with Ms. Foster.
A New Mexico woman wants her local county government to pay the $1,122 hospital bill she received after undergoing a forcible body cavity search, which she did on the orders of her local Metro Narcotics Agency. Why might her position be justified?
Just like everything else in America, our thriving heroin industry has gone corporate and lost its edge. Today's smack-dealing "associate" works in the suburbs, toils long hours, and puts up with coworkers' kids. Might as well work at a start-up, or a bank.
Looking for ways to make your upcoming criminal trial more memorable for everyone involved? Urinating into a courtroom trash can while the judge and various spectators are present is one way to achieve results, as one Texas teen recently demonstrated.
Luis Mijangos, a computer programmer from Souther California, was sentenced to six years in prison last week for hacking into several women's computers, finding explicit photos and videos, and using them to demand more.
The owner of a Beirut bargain store closed up shop earlier than usual on Friday after a crowd began protesting his sale of some cheap-ass flip-flops featuring this Halloweenish design: a bat-haunted graveyard dotted with cross-shaped tombstones. The crosses made the shoes offensive to Christians, the protesters said.
We've all been on bad dates, am I right? Like, when you're out with a guy and he says he needs to go to the betting parlor before dinner? Talk about a bad date! And then he runs out of the shop holding a knife in a sack of cash screaming "DRIVE! DRIVE! DRIVE!"?
If you read a story about Christopher Carlson taking his three young grandsons to the Grand Canyon this month for some hiking and bonding, you might go, "wow, that's really nice of him." Then consider that he took the kids — ages 8, 9 and 12 — on a 19-mile forced march in 108-degree heat and you might go, "wow, what an asshole." Oh, and there's much, much more. From the Arizona Daily Sun:
Cal State San Bernardino associate professor Stephen Kinzey not only taught kinesiology, but he was allegedly the leader of a meth-selling biker gang, the Devils Diciples. The Los Angeles Times reports that an arrest warrant is out for Kinzey after police raided his home and found all sorts of goodies. And while we say allegedly, this guy's exteme goatee kind of gives him away. But still, this is pretty crazy:
The upsetting trial over the killing of gay teen Larry King, who was shot point blank in the back of the head in computer lab class by fellow student Brandon McInerney, has resulted in a mistrial. The jury voted seven to five in favor of finding McInerney guilty of voluntary manslaughter, not first- or second-degree murder, which meant that seven jurors sided with the defense's version of events: that King brought his death upon himself by acting and dressing effeminately and making sexual overtures (apparently the breaking point came when he asked his tormentor, "What's up, baby?") towards McInerney.
Surprise: A 16-year-old female hacking prodigy might actually be a couple of dudes. Two 20-something British men were arrested today under suspicion of being the mysterious LulzSec and Anonymous mastermind "Kayla."
