Ironman triathlete Jaroslav Bobrowski, 30, of Landshut, Bavaria, was banned from Running Sushi, an all-you-can-eat restaurant, for eating too much sushi. Bobrowski, a former bodybuilder, ate close to 100 plates of sushi, which sent the restaurant into a panic and caused the owner and chef to tell him he was banished. \u201cHe eats for five people,\u201d the owner complained. \u201cThat is not normal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Least Competent Criminal<\/strong><\/p>\n Taiheem M. McKay, 23, of Riverhead, N.Y., made it easy for Suffolk County officials to track him down. He was suspected of breaking into 10 different homes over the course of seven months, stealing cash, jewelry and designer accessories. The Suffolk County Department of Probation traced McKay to the burglary locations through his GPS ankle monitor. He was wearing it as a result of a second-degree reckless endangerment conviction. McKay has additional pending indictments in other burglaries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Oops!<\/strong><\/p>\n Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction is footing the bill for a possible $46,000 reprint job after a recent graduate found a typo on his diploma. Alec Williams, former editor of the school\u2019s newspaper, was examining his diploma when he found a line reading \u201cCoard of Trustees,\u201d instead of \u201cBoard of Trustees\u201d under one of the signatures. \u201cThere was this moment of laughing at it … and the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I got, because I\u2019m sitting on $30,000 worth of debt and they can\u2019t take the time to use spellcheck,\u201d he said. CMU President Tim Foster told The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel that the school will send out corrected diplomas to 2018 grads. However, the typo goes back to 2012 diplomas. Those graduates can request a new diploma if they want to. \u201cThis mistake is all ours,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n People With Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n In what the Porter County, Ind., coroner later called \u201ca blatant disregard for human life,\u201d two men posted a video of themselves \u201chorseplaying\u201d with 21-year-old Kyle Kearby. He was slumped over, suffering from an apparent drug overdose. The video shows one man tying cords to Kearby\u2019s hands and manipulating his arms like a puppet. The other man was pumping Kearby\u2019s chest and moving his mouth while singing \u201cYou\u2019ve Got a Friend in Me.\u201d Kearby\u2019s father said that his son returned home about 5:30 am and went to bed. He later discovered him not breathing and covered with vomit. Kearby died at a hospital. Porter County Sheriff Dave Reynolds said he does not suspect foul play.<\/p>\n Compelling Explanations<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2014 While shopping at a Peoria, Ill., Walmart, a 30-year-old woman put a few items in her backpack: leggings, pencils, a quart of oil and a \u201cJesus Calling\u201d Bible. After she paid for the items in her cart, a loss prevention officer stopped her before she left the store. Peoria police were summoned, and the woman explained to them she was hoping the Bible could help her spiritually. \u201cShe told me that it sounds strange, but she was trying to be more Christian,\u201d an officer reported. She was charged with misdemeanor theft.<\/p>\n \u2014 A Washington State Patrol officer tried repeatedly to pull over a Toyota Prius with expired tags on I-5 near Marysville, Wash. He finally caught up to the car at an intersection and told the unnamed 42-year-old woman driver to pull over. \u201cI will not. I drive a Prius,\u201d was the woman\u2019s reply. The officer then asked her to step out of the vehicle, which she also refused to do. So he forced her out. \u201cI will own your bank account,\u201d she told him. \u201cI will own your house.\u201d When he asked her name, she responded, \u201cNone of your business.\u201d Finally, she was arrested for failing to obey instructions, failing to identify herself and obstruction.<\/p>\n Oh, What A Web They Weaved<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s been a banner year for the spider population of Aitoliko, Greece. Fueled by a huge increase in the numbers of lake flies, which the spiders eat, they have reproduced unusually fast. They covered coastal trees, bushes and low vegetation with blankets of thick, sticky webs. The webs run along a few hundred meters of the shoreline and, according to residents, have the unexpected advantage of keeping mosquitoes away.<\/p>\n No Good Deed<\/strong><\/p>\n Tammie Hedges of Goldsboro, N.C., founded the nonprofit Crazy\u2019s Claws N Paws in 2013 to help low-income families with vet bills and pet supplies. So it was natural for her to take in 27 animals displaced by Hurricane Florence. Hedges treated many animals, found in the streets or surrendered by fleeing residents, with antibiotics and painkillers. She was arrested for practicing veterinary medicine without a license, after an official from Wayne County Animal Services visited the warehouse where the animals were housed. Kathie Davidson, a volunteer with Claws N Paws said, \u201cIf she hadn\u2019t done what she did, then they\u2019d be charging her with animal neglect and cruelty. What was she supposed to do?\u201d Hedges was released on bond, and the charges were later dropped.<\/p>\n Bright Idea<\/strong><\/p>\n Knox County, Ky., Sheriff\u2019s deputies responded to a house call where Kenneth Ray Couch, 35, had reportedly stolen a handgun. As they searched for Couch, they learned he had been transported to the hospital after staging a heart attack at nearby Dixon\u2019s market. When police arrived at Baptist Health, they found Couch in the cafeteria, which had apparently been his goal all along. Couch was arrested and charged with first-degree burglary and falsely reporting an incident.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n Family Values<\/strong><\/p>\n Patricia Ann Hill, 69, of White Hall, Ark., called 911 to report she had shot her husband, Frank, 65. Patricia told Jefferson County Sheriff\u2019s investigators that she had previously disagreed with her husband\u2019s purchase of a pornography channel on Dish Network. She canceled the channel, telling Frank that if he reordered it, he\u2019d have to leave. That day, the Dish bill arrived, revealing that the channel had been re-added. Patricia confronted Frank in his \u201cman cave\u201d and told him to go. When he refused, Patricia fetched a .22-caliber pistol from the house and shot him twice, killing him. Hill was charged with capital murder and held without bond in the Jefferson County adult detention center.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Passing Parade<\/strong><\/p>\n Known for his blond mullet and numerous social media rants, zoo owner Joe Exotic (real name: Joseph Maldonado-Passage) of Wynnewood, Okla., has been cooling his heels in a Florida jail. He allegedly attempted to hire two people to kill a woman. One of those \u201ckillers\u201d was an undercover FBI agent, and Exotic was indicted on federal murder-for-hire charges. It all started \u201cmany, many years\u201d ago, said Carole Baskin of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, who claims to be the woman Exotic was hoping to off. She said Exotic has threatened her repeatedly and even posted a video of himself shooting an effigy of Baskin. Tangentially, Exotic also was a candidate in a libertarian primary run for governor in Oklahoma this summer. He finished third.<\/p>\n What Was Your First Clue?<\/strong><\/p>\n Romance novelist Nancy Crampton Brophy, 68, was arrested on charges of murdering her husband, Daniel Brophy, 63, in Portland, Ore. She was apparently following her own advice, written in a 2011 essay titled \u201cHow to Murder Your Husband.\u201d In the essay, Crampton Brophy suggests that hiring a hit man is \u201cnever a good idea\u201d and poison is traceable. Instead, she allegedly shot her husband at the Oregon Culinary Institute where Daniel was a chef. Police did not release a motive, and a neighbor said Crampton Brophy \u201cnever showed any signs of being upset or sad.\u201d She pleaded not guilty in Multnomah County Circuit Court, and is awaiting trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ironman triathlete Jaroslav Bobrowski, 30, of Landshut, Bavaria, was banned from Running Sushi, an all-you-can-eat restaurant, for eating too much sushi.
