An 83-year-old North Mankato man had made threats to kill someone and shot at officers several times before they returned fire that killed him during a standoff Thursday at his home.

Authorities said that after a four-hour standoff Thursday, officers tried to get closer to the house to look inside when Tschohl shot at them through a front window and a rear door. A short time later, he went out the back door carrying two guns and began firing at officers.

Little Rock Man Almost Falls Victim to Phone Scam

Benjamin Filbert says he got a call Tuesday, and when he answered, a recording said it wants to help him find a job.

"In the beginning, I was going along with it because I was curious to see if I did click on something online," said Filbert.

Although the person on the other end sounded like a live person, Filbert had doubts. So he decided to hang up.

hahahaha

Goat found wandering Hot Springs vanishes

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) - An unfriendly billy goat found wandering near the Hot Springs Convention Center appears to have been stolen from an animal shelter.

The goat was picked up by animal services last month and taken to the shelter, where officials say it was taken by someone on Saturday.

The Sentinel-Record reports that animal services director Dan Bugg had hoped the owner would turn up or someone would pay the $35 fee to adopt the animal.

Bugg says the goat didn't show warmth toward humans probably had to be dragged from his outdoor enclosure. Bugg says the goat is "pretty hard-headed."

The goat was to have been put up for adoption on Monday.

credit due to DJP for finding this

hmm lotta strange sentences there!

Officers began canvassing the neighborhood for the boy's parents. When no one claimed the 2-year-old, he was taken to the police department.

...

The father's home is located less than a block from the intersection where the boy was found.

"He was quite uncooperative with officers and ultimately that lead to his arrest for child endangerment," said Schnell.

His behavior appeared normal for a two-year-old, police said.

really super cool police work happening here

i like the implication that they are well versed in the behavior of drunk toddlers, and this kid just wasnt fitting the profile

Police: Assault prompted by 'too many pickles'
AP / May 13, 2013

QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — Police say a Quincy woman is facing charges for allegedly punching a restaurant worker who put ‘‘too many pickles’’ on her steak and cheese sandwich.

Transit police say 49-year-old Tina Drouin ordered the sub from Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs in the Quincy Center subway/commuter rail station on Saturday afternoon.

Police say Drouin started loudly complaining, used a profanity, and demanded a refund.

When she was refused, she allegedly punched the worker in the face and pushed two large jars filled with pickles at the woman, knocking her over and shattering the jars.

She fled, but was followed by the worker, who held her until police arrived.

Drouin told police the worker put ‘‘too many pickles’’ on her sub.

She'll be summoned to court to face an assault charge.end of story marker
