Shane Smith, identified by his friends in court documents as "Psycho Shane", was arrested Tuesday and booked into the Spokane County Jail on a sole count of 2nd Degree Murder.

After his arrest, Smith admitted he shot Flinn twice in the back of the head. Smith reportedly has a habit of pulling guns on his acquaintances and accusing them of things they didn't do.

HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio - An irate customer showed his displeasure in a big way Tuesday morning at the Taco Bell in southwest Ohio.

Police said that the man became angry when he ordered a $.99 taco at the drive-up window, and later saw that it wasn't in his bag when he looked.

Officers said that the man went back to the restaurant and started yelling at the cashier, ONN's affiliate WHIO reported.

The children and driver evacuated the van while two employees from the business extinguished flames coming from the engine, Minden said.

"It could have been tragic," Minden said at the scene. "Luckily this time nobody was hurt and it's just property damage."

No injuries were reported.

The van was reportedly carrying children who attend the Bright Future Learning Academy.

June 12, 2012 9:22 am By Donita Naylor
BARRINGTON, R.I. -- A chiropractor who lives in Barrington and practices in North Providence says the town recreation director destroyed his seven-year-old daughter's sandcastle Saturday.
The recreation director says the dispute was over possible injury.
Michael LeRoux said by phone that he and his daughter, Mia, spent part of their Saturday afternoon building a sandcastle at the town beach, about knee-high and 3 feet wide.
Recreation Director John Taylor told NBC 10 WJAR that the sandcastle was about 3 feet high and had boards sticking out of it. He said that after the castle was destroyed, nails were found in the boards.
The town does not have a policy against sandcastles, according to the beach rules posted on the town website.

Arkansas vet seeks home for goose named 50 Cent

MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. (AP) - The goose 50 Cent is on the mend.

Named for the rapper who survived nine gunshot wounds, 50 Cent the waterfowl now needs a new home. The goose was brought into a northern Arkansas animal hospital with a damaged wing.

Veterinarian Rob Conner says an X-ray revealed the goose had been shot seven times with a pellet gun. Conner operated on the bird's wing, inserting a metal rod and plastic tube to help the bird heal.

Conner tells The Baxter Bulletin that workers initially wanted to name the goose Tupac, after the late rapper, but that they settled on 50 Cent because he recovered from his shooting.

Authorities don't know who shot the 50 Cent the goose. Conner says he's hopeful someone will adopt the animal.

needs a blingee

AUTHORITIES DON'T KNOW WHO SHOT THE 50 CENT THE GOOSE.

So many different ways to punctuate that sentence.

That sandcastle one, lol wtf.

Clown arrested in west Ark. on child porn charge

FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP) - Authorities in western Arkansas have arrested a clown on a child porn charge.

Fort Smith police say they arrested 47-year-old Thomas Harold Morgan, who also goes by "Sondance the Clown" on Wednesday.

Police spokesman Cpl. Steven Dooly says investigators found someone downloading child pornography over a file-sharing network and tracked the Internet Service Provider account to Morgan.

Authorities and seized a number of digital items from Morgan's address and a preliminary check indicated there was illegal child porn.

Dooly says Morgan was not dressed like a clown when he was arrested.

A formal charge hasn't been filed yet and it wasn't clear whether Morgan has an attorney.

Morgan didn't respond to a phone or email message. Morgan's website says his educational background is in childhood development.

Anyone can walk into a costume shop and buy a few jars of greasepaint. Anyone can visit a local thrift store and buy some strange-looking clothes. Many people can take those items and put them together to make a believable character. Maybe they can even learn to twist a few baloon animals and paint simple face designs. But a clown is something more - something deep inside.

I have spent over twenty years perfecting my craft. Not only makeup and costuming, but character development, stage presence, and other essential skills. My educational background is in childhood development, so I know how to interact with kids (and I'm pretty good with adults, too).

In front of Plaza Towers apartment moments ago, reportedly there is a black male "with no arms or legs" causing a disturbance and threatening to fight people.

When this call was dispatched the patrolman queried the dispatcher: "He's threatening to fight?"

HOT SPRINGS, AR - Hot Springs police have cancelled a Silver Alert for an 86-year-old woman who they say was missing and armed with a shotgun.

Police say Lillian E. Bruckner has been found, and was shopping for shotgun shells.

phew

SILVER ALERT

Plus, 10 states have missing persons alert systems with broader criteria than conventional Silver Alert programs. These missing person alerts apply to larger categories of endangered persons, or apply to all missing people, regardless of age or impairment:

Arizona, Endangered Persons Alert[40]
...

5 states have Silver Alert legislation pending:

California[50]
Hawaii[51]
Iowa[52]
Michigan[53]
Oregon[54]
Wisconsin[55]

I love how AZ has taken a step to avoid offending somebody about something for once.

lol

okay, this silver alert shit is getting a bit too broad for my tastes:

MONTOGOMERY SHERIFF, Ark. (KTHV) - A Silver Alert is activated for a missing man out of Black Springs.

Deputies say 44-year-old Lewis B. Caton Jr., has been missing since Thursday night around 8:15 p.m. He is 5' 9" and weights 181 lbs. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Caton is possibly traveling with a black Labrador in a silver Honda Ridgeline pickup with license number WMY71S (New Jersey.)

Caton was reportedly released from Jersey Shore Medical in mid-June where he was diagnosed with narcissism personality disorder.

Currently jailed, Aaron Travis Beaird is alleged to have attempted to fake his own death after he was confronted about the year-long fraud. A suicide note left at Deception Pass apparently didn’t dissuade federal investigators, who arrested Beaird on Tuesday.
