Now I know that some of you are probably thinking that since i’m based out of the US, that I would have made a reference to a NFL team, but I thought I’d share some love to the Australian Football League. I caught a few games and It was actually really entertaining.

I’m Telling You I Did It

Welcome to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where a 27 year old man accidently turned himself into the police after committing a crime on Wednesday.

Kalamazoo officers responded to a breaking and entering call around 4 a.m. and noticed that forcible entry had been used to get into the business in the 600 block of North Rose Street.

Later in the day, the man went to the officer’s sub-station saying that he witnessed the break in on North Rose Street. The winner was drunk and bleeding from his hands and forearms and the officers helped clean the man up, remove some glass, and listen to his story.

He told officers that he watched someone break the window, crawl though it, and then enter the business. He described him wearing clothes that were extremely simuilar to what he was wearing at the time. He then said that he tried to catch the robber, so he crawled through the window and they got into a fight inside the business. After the fight, the criminal fled the building.

Police decided to investigate the man’s claims and the evidence proved the man as the criminal. The man is now at the Kalamazoo County Jail on charges of breaking and entering.

Nazi’s Run In Fear

Time to put on your Indiana Jones hat and look away from the Ark of the Covenant.

ten_commandments_holderThe Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says that the patriarch will announce to the world on Friday the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant. This is probably the world most prized spiritual artifact and archaeological find, which they say that has been hidden away for a millennium.

Abuna Pauolos told news agencies, “Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries. The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia for many centuries. As a patriarch I have seen it with my own eyes and only few highly qualified persons could do the same, until now.”

He went on to say that a Museum is being built in Axum, Ethiopia where the true Ark will be displayed. The Ark has been kept in one church, but to defend the treasure, copies were placed in every Ethiopian church.

If I ever learned something from movies, it is to close your eyes and look away if and when the Ark is actually opened. That and unfortunately if we are in a horror flick, to not have sex or you die. At least its a good way to die, rather than running for 30 minutes only to be decapitated later…decisions.

Stripper’s Stilettos of Justice

Welcome to Atlanta, Georgia, where some strippers have decided to sue Hotlanta, because of a new law that will not let them work in an upscale workplace. A new law was passed that says people who are not old enough to drink, can’t work in clubs where liquor is served.

Five young exotic dancers (politically correct) have taken city to the Supreme Court, so they can keep dancing at the Cheetah Lounge. The lounge is one of Atlanta’s most popular strip clubs, and they make a lot of money off of alcohol sales. These women state that the law enacted is an attempt to target nude dancing spots only.

These five girls were regular showgirls at the Cheetah Lounge back in 2007, when the city passed an ordinance aimed to eliminate under age drinking. The law basically banned anyone under 21 from entering a store that sold alcohol beverages on site, but it exempted convenience stores, stadiums, concert halls and a slew of other places, but not adult entertainment clubs.

Alan Begner, an adult entertainment attorney who represents the five women, called it a right-to-work case. He pointed out that they have a right to vote, right to serve in the military, and a right to sue; but now they don’t have a right to strip. The filed a lawsuit claiming the ordinance was in violation of their free speech, but a judge ruled in favor of the city.

Begner said, “They are adults and there’s no good reason to deny them a right to work, a right to be first-class citizens. Convenience stores are where underage teens go to drink, and that’s where 15-year-old’s can sell to them.”

City attorney Amber Ali Robinson countered the claim by saying that the ordinance doesn’t ban under 21 women from stripping, only from dancing at clubs that make most of their revenue from selling alcohol.

Feistel would sneak into the 12 year old boy’s room and have sex with him, while the parents were asleep. The sex even continued after she moved out of the family’s home.

The boy, who is now 15, testified that the sexual activity began 2 months into his 7th grade year. He also testified that during some point she was having martial problems and moved in with his family. He said that the relationship made him uncomfortable and he didn’t want to have sex with Feistel.

The Victim said, “She would come in when everybody was sleeping and she tried to kiss me and I wouldn’t. I decided to stop and not do it anymore.”

So this Week has been wonderful so far. All the major sites (minus Digg) have done something for April Fools Day. Youtube decided that it would celebrate by flipping everything upside down. Google created a fake auto-complete program for Gmail. Even Reddit got into the action by making their website look just like Digg. Maybe the best site was done by Switzerland, who decided that they would play off the Australia’s Dream Job.

Now onto today’s stories. Luckily, I get to share some stories that aren’t Florida bound. It was difficult, but Florida really tried to squeeze in again with a few attempts. As always the links to the full story are at the bottom.

Calling Shotgun on the Wheelchair

Welcome to the Good Samaritan Christensen Village located in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. This retirement facility is where a wheelchair using woman is believed to have shot a facility manager Ken Perrier, who was attempting to evict the woman in her 40′s who ended up being shot by local police. Both Perrier and the unidentified woman were airlifted to the local hospital on Tuesday night and are listed to be in serious condition.

“It appears that a 40-year old-resident, a woman, had shot one of the employees that was at her door,” Corporal Peter Thiessen told reporters at the scene late Tuesday night. “There were four employees that were at the door that were in the process of evicting her. She ends up shooting one of them, departing, going out the front door on foot with a long-barreled weapon.”

After shooting Perrier, the woman attempted to commandeer a vehicle and thats when the officers arrived on the scene. Officers told her not to get into the vehicle, but police shot her after she failed to respond to commands. “There were indications she may have been in possession of a second weapon,” Cpl. Thiessen said.Police did recover a handgun and a shotgun from the scene.

An Army of One

Lets meet Christopher Chavez, 19, in Boone County. This new Army recruit was just a few short hours away from reporting for boot camp, but ended up in handcuffs instead. A drunken crime spree was the way he wanted to start his new army career.

Chavez was staying at a Airport Holiday Inn in Erlanger with some fellow recruits as they prepared for flying out for basic training. Chavez purportedly got in a fight with some other people on the 5th floor of the Hotel around 2 am. Chavez decided that it would be a good idea to grab a fire extinguisher off the wall, which in turn set off the fire alarm.

He then took the fire extinguisher with him to a Mobile Gas Station with the idea to get some more alcohol. Unfortunately, the Mobile was closed he decided that he would break in to get some beer. Police arrived on the scene, where Chavez was unsuccessful at breaking into the Mobile station. He went on to spit and curse at police officers as they attempted to handcuff the wannabe soldier. Police placed a spit mask on the retarded army of one, after they placed the cuffs on him.

Chavez was charged with alcohol intoxication and criminal mischief and was placed in the Boone County Jail.

Law Director Doesn’t follow the Law

Law Director Mark Provenza resigned on Tuesday after being sent back to jail for violating his probation. Now the city of Lorain is searching for a replacement to fill the vacant position. Provenza had just been released from serving 90 days for DUI, when he was to get his blood monitoring ankle bracelet. Prior to getting the new leg accessory, Provenza admitted that he had been drinking beer.

Mayor Tony Krasienko says that Provenza stepped down after city officials went to speak to him. He went onto state that if Provenza didn’t resign, that they would have no choice, but to pursue actions to get him removed.

In 2004, Provenza spent 5 days in the Bay Village jail for DUI. He was also convicted of DUI for hitting a fire hydrant in Lakewood. He also pleaded down a Parma Heights DUI to reckless operation. Then not to be out done, he pleaded no contest last year to DUI charges in Lakewood again. This time he rammed his wife’s minivan into the front porch of a home on Bunts Road.
