Tonight we start at Fox News, and we immediately see this gem: Woman Overheard Yelling Obscenities at Toilet Could Face Jail Time
SCRANTON, Pa. — A woman who allegedly shouted profanities at her overflowing toilet within earshot of a neighbor was cited for disorderly conduct, authorities said.
Dawn Herb could face up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $300 (euro212).
"It doesn't make any sense. I was in my house. It's not like I was outside or drunk," Herb told The Times-Tribune of Scranton. "The toilet was overflowing and leaking down into the kitchen and I was yelling (for my daughter) to get the mop."
Boo, Scranton! Any town where I can't holler "shit!" if it's spilling over onto my floor is a town in which I would not care to live. I believe the first draft of the Declaration of Indepence included the phrase, "Life, Liberty, and the right to holler at malfunction indoor plumbing, once that's invented."
And in less cheery news, we have this one from my old stomping grounds - Florida Man Sentenced to Death for Leaving Child to Be Eaten by Alligators
MIAMI — A Florida man who left a 5-year-old girl to be eaten alive by alligators and tried to kill her mother was sentenced to death Monday.
Prosecutors said Harrel Franklin Braddy, 58, attacked Shandelle Maycock and daughter Quatisha after he was released early from prison in another case for good behavior. He tossed Maycock in his car trunk in 1998, drove her to a remote sugarcane field and choked her to unconsciousness.
Braddy then drove the girl to a part of the Everglades known as Alligator Alley and dropped her in the water beside the road, prosecutors said. Authorities found the girl's body two days later, her left arm missing and her skull crushed.
Some people just need killin', and it appears that Harrel Franklin Braddy is one of them. Fortunately, Florida is not squeamish about such things.
Here in Northern Texas, things are bit more...well...Texan, as a football coach at the World's Largest Baptist University seems to have found himself in a bit of legal trouble.
WACO -- Baylor University athletic department officials said they are considering disciplinary action against an assistant football coach cited for urinating on the bar at a tavern.
Eric Schnupp, Baylor's offensive line/tight ends coach, was not arrested but was issued a citation at 2:20 a.m. Sunday for disorderly conduct-reckless exposure at Scruffy Murphy’s, Waco police spokesman Steve Anderson said.
That's nice. And classy.
