WOMAN ARRESTED FOR HARRASING DOG

Jayna Hutchinson, 33, of Lebanon, N.H. was charged with cruelty to a police animal and resisting arrest after an incident last July 31st in West Fairlee. Police were responding to a report of a brawl. Hutchinson approached the officers and told them she had been assaulted by one of the men involved the previous day. Vermont State Police Sgt. Todd Protzman refused to take her statement, stating that she smelled of alcohol and was drunk and would take her statement at a later date. After they engaged in a heated exchange, Hutchinson approaced the officer's cruiser, putting her face within inches of the police dog, Max, inside. Protzman claims that she was "staring at him in a taunting/harassing manner". "While the defendant taunted my canine, Max was focused on the defendant and the perceived threat she presented to him, he was no longer focused on me and the other officers at the scene".
Officers arrested Hutchinson, she registered a 0.21 % blood-alcohol content, more than twice the legal limit for drivers in Vermont. Two days before her trial was scheduled to take place, Orange County State's Attorney Will Porter decided to drop the charges after viewing a videotape of the incident over the weekend. He stated, "I think it was going to be difficult to prove her conduct changed the dog's behavior, Most of the time (in harassment cases) people would come tell the court what it felt like. Dogs can't do that."

MAN IN WHEELCHAIR GETS WILD RIDE

Recently a wheelchair-bound Michigan man got a wild ride. Ben Carpenter, 21, of Paw Paw, Michigan was crossing the street in his motorized wheelchair when suddenly the light turned green. At that point Mr. Carpenter was in front of a semi-truck and the driver didn't see him. As the driver began to lurch forward he struck Mr. Carpenter and his wheelchair became lodged in the grill of the truck. Mr. Carpenter and his wheelchair were carried several miles at speeds topping 50mph until police pulled him over. They explained to the driver what happened....the man climbed from the truck in a state of disbelieve, and to his amazement what the officers said was true. Mr. Carpenter was unharmed as was his wheelchair, the only damage was that the wheels on his chair had lost most of their rubber.

Suposedly, the man weighed more than 300lbs and had wedged his head and shoulders under water, trying to get to his phone and got stuck.

COPS KICK WRONG MAN

Wednesday in Annapolis, Md police raided the wrong apartment. They used force, using flash grenades and kicking the male resident in the groin, handcuffing and forcing both residents to the ground....before realizing their mistake.

Police spokesman Hal Dalton stated, "We don't know how the mistake was made."

Silvia Bernal, 30, stated that about 15 officers burst through the door of her apartment while she was cooking dinner that evening. When they broke in she fled to the bedroom and baracaded the door with her body, while her husband got kicked in the groin. She stated that then both of them were forced to the ground and handcuffed...and when the an officer went outside, he realized they had raided the wrong apartment.

The apartment manager has stated that the police damaged the front door and have left stains from the flash-bang grenades they deployed.

And when the officers went to the correct apartment....they found it empty.

- This kinda crap happens all the time.....why do they need to use so much force. Couldn't they just knock on the door. I imagine this will lead to an interesting law suit.

STRANGEST VENDING MACHINES

I just read an article on AOL about the Quirkiest Vending Machines....I'll tell you about them!
1.Does anyone remember cigarette vending machines? Well they still have them in Japan,
along with alcohol vending machines that dispense beer, sake, and whiskey.
2. I'm sure we've all seen a condom dispenser in convienient store bathrooms...but in Japan they
also vend porn, designer condoms, and dildos in their red light districts. Apparently the
price of the porn and other sex related products range from 2,000 - 10,000yen or $16-$82 USD.
3. We've all bought a soda from a vending maching before...in Japan its a little different.
First of all they offer "Water Salad" - or salad flavored water. Also these machines are
a bit evil, as the temperature rises outside, so do the prices of soda.
4. Have you ever been walking and it started pouring down the rain? Ever wish you could just
buy an umbrella? Well you can in Japan. Now of course you must expect to pay a pretty penny
or yen, it looks like 300yen to be exact. Which is more than you'd pay in a store for an
umbrella.
5. This vending machine is definately one I've never seen...Its a Rice Vending Machine. Which
I guess is important in a country where it is a main staple of their diet. You can purchase
up to 22 pound bags of rice for 3,600 - 4,800 yen ($30-40 USD)
6. You ever go to use a public bathroom and after you've done the deed, you find there's no
toilet paper? In Japan they have vending machines full of toilet paper. They stash these
machines in places like department stores and train stations. They dispense a packet of
toilet paper and cost 50-100 yen per package.
7. Have you ever seen a pet vending machine? Rhinoceros Beetles are a popular pet for Japanese
children. In some places in Japan you can find Rhinoceros Beetle vending machines.
The beetles cost 10-300 yen (.80cents - $2.50). The males who have impressive horns and big
jaws sell for more than their female counterparts.
8. Have you ever wished you could know your fortune in just a few minutes. You can in Japan.
By paying a few coins to the vending machine you will receive your "fortune" instantly.

MARRIED LIFE GOOD FOR THE DEPRESSED

A new study has found that depressed people are happier married than they are single. For some reason depressed people get a psychological boost from being married than those who aren't depressed, although they tend to have poorer quality marriages. Research showed that overall participants that got married scored 3.5 points lower on a 12-item depression test than when they were single.
However, peoople that were depressed scored an average of 7.5 points lower than their depressed counterparts that stayed single.

MAN WAKES FROM 19-YEAR COMA

Recently Jan Grzebski, Poland, awoke from a 19-year coma to find a much different world than the one he left. The former railway worker fell into a coma after suffering a head injury while trying to attach to train carriages in 1988. He credits his wife Gertruda for his recovery. Gertruda said that for years she took care of Jan, feeding him and moving his body to prevent bed sores. "For 19 years he did not move or say anything, he tried to say things but it couldn't be understood. Sometimes we pretended we understood,"stated Gertruda.

- This is so amazing to me. I can't imagine caring for someone for 19 years, that couldn't respond to me. That is true love and dedication.
