It's pretty frightening how many people commit crimes -and those are just the ones who got caught!

Judi Spiers said sorry after the ‘distasteful’ gaffe on her BBC Radio Devon morning show.

She made the comment while discussing a book about Casper the cat, a pet which became famous after regularly making a 17km (11-mile) bus trip from his home in Plymouth.

During her show the veteran presenter said of the book: '10,500 copies have been sold, and the book has been translated into six different languages - Dutch, German, Portuguese, Italian and two dialects of Chinese. I don't know whether they'll enjoy that; don't they eat cats?'

The slip-up was quickly noticed and 10 minutes later she returned to the air, saying: ‘I would like to apologise if you found the comment distasteful. Obviously, I did not mean to offend.’

Authorities in Calvert Co. warn residents about emu on loose

HUNTINGTOWN — Authorities say an emu is on the loose in Southern Maryland.

The Calvert County Sheriff's Office Animal Control Unit said the bird has been spotted in the Huntingtown area. Authorities have been fielding calls about the bird since November, when it was spotted in Dunkirk.

The owner of the emu has not been identified.

Emus can stand up more than 6 feet tall and run at up to 30 miles per hour. Authorities said residents should not approach the bird because it uses its legs to defend itself, and it has knife-like toenails.

HUNTINGTOWN, Md. - A bizarre story about an emu running loose in Calvert County has a sad ending.
A farmer shot and killed the emu after finding the bird off Chaneyville Road in the northern part of the county on Thursday.

"The farmer believed this animal was a threat to his safety and to the safety of his own animals, so he shot and killed the animal," Calvert County Sheriff's Office Lt. Dave McDowell says.

The farmer will not face charges since he did not violate any environmental or wild animal gaming laws, McDowell says.

It's still unknown where the emu came from and how it ended up loose in the county.

"We really don't know. It's a mystery," McDowell says.

Police had been fielding calls about the bird since November, when it was spotted in Dunkirk.

Police has warned people against approaching the bird because emus use their knife-like toenails and powerful legs to defend themselves.

An emu is similar to an ostrich, standing over six feet tall and having the ability to run at speeds up to 30 mph.

Baltimore police are seeking a man who they say dressed as a woman and pretended to be an officer.

Detective Jeremy Silbert, a police spokesman, said a man driving a blue or green Oldsmobile Alero with a blue light on the dash pulled over a female driver just after 5 p.m. Sunday in North Baltimore and asked for her identification.

She handed it to him and he left with it. Police said the woman was not harmed.

The suspect is described as white, in his 40s, 5 feet 8 inches tall, with blue eyes and a thin build. He was last seen wearing a shoulder-length black wig, a dark jacket with a brown patch on the shoulder and knee-high boots with heels.

The man also had an identification card hanging from a lanyard with the words "Baltimore Police" on it, and Silbert said he had on dark makeup and "a lot of wrinkles."

James Fogle, whose book "'Drugstore Cowboy" told the story of drug users who robbed pharmacies to feed their addiction, pleaded guilty in Seattle on Wednesday to a familiar crime: a pharmacy robbery.

Prosecutors will seek a 16-year prison term for Fogle, now in his 70s.

Fogle became famous beyond police lineups by writing a novel about longtime drug users who robbed pharmacies. Filmmaker Gus Van Sant turned the unpublished novel into a movie by the same name, "Drugstore Cowboy," in 1989, and Fogle's book hit shelves the following year.

Fogle also has spent significant stretches of his adult life in prison, sometimes for committing the sort of crimes he described in his novel.

Police say on May 25, 2010, Fogle and another man were trying to steal prescription drugs from Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy, at 15840 Redmond Way. It's about a half mile from the Redmond police headquarters.

Police say minutes after the pharmacy's 9 p.m. closing Tuesday, Fogle and his alleged accomplice -- who in 1986 was convicted of a sex crime -- pushed their way into the pharmacy through a back exit door after Fogle flashed a gun in his waistband.

In addition to a pink bandanna, Fogle had a hood over his head and yellow latex gloves, according to court documents. Police say the accomplice wore a dark ski mask and a dark hooded sweatshirt.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/8343172/Police-called-to-settle-extraordinary-village-tank-row.html

The huge green tanklike crane, designed to carry out battlefield repairs, has been sitting in a lay-by since new owner Nicholas Kravchenko drove it there last week.

Residents living in the normally tranquil area of Wolvercote, near Oxford, Oxon, have branded the machine an ''eyesore''.

Police have now been called in to settle the "neighbourhood dispute" amid claims the £10,000 tank was intimidating locals.

The enthusiast bought the former Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) armoured vehicle second-hand to drive it for his own pleasure to display it at shows and charity events.

Mr Kravchenko, a retired army engineer, is now refusing to move the four-tonne camouflaged vehicle, which came complete with caterpillar tracks and take up three-and-a-half normal parking spaces.

"I can go out and drive it any time I like. There's no law to stop anyone having 10 tanks," he said.

CHESTER, Md. (AP) — A deer spent 90 minutes inside an Eastern Shore home before it was herded out the front door.

Maryland Natural Resources Police Officer Robert Ford asked everyone to stay away from the open front door, and after a few minutes the deer found its way out of the Chester home Saturday afternoon. The male deer was one of three seen in the area earlier in the day by Audrey Thomas, who later noticed her neighbor's kitchen window was broken.

Inside, the deer overturned kitchen chairs and a cabinet before becoming entangled in drapes near glass doors in an adjoining office. The buck then went into a bedroom, where a hole was found in the wall, and into a bathroom, where bloody nose marks were found on a mirror.
