In New York state, a mom is facing charges of child endangerment and lewdness after she got on stage during an assembly at her son’s school and started to strip. 24-year-old Aydrea Meaders’ dance routine was bad enough to have school officials stop the assembly and clear the auditorium. Aydrea was arrested and thrown in jail – while her son will certainly be teased on the playground for years to come.
An elderly ex-con in Illinois decided to pull one last heist in an effort to spend the rest of his life in prison – since he only had six months left to live anyway. 73-year-old Walter Unbehaun walked into a bank with a gun drawn and handed the teller a note demanding she turn over all the cash she had, along with the warning that he had only six months left to live and "nothing left to lose." She complied, giving him a little more than four thousand bucks, but Unbehaun was caught a short time later since a surveillance camera provided a good look at his face. He reportedly told cops that he'd spent most of his adult life in prison and "wanted to go back as he felt more comfortable in prison than out." Officers were willing to comply, and hauled him in to the pokey right away. (Chicago Tribune)
Federal drug agents ended up looking like saps when they stormed a rural Illinois home in hopes of busting a meth lab, only to break up a family's long-running maple syrup operation. Laura Benson says the feds burst onto her property with a warrant and began looking for evidence of narcotic production, which turned out to be a sticky situation. She gave them a guided tour of the family business, and they collected samples of syrup to take for analysis ... and breakfast. Benson thanked her neighbors for keeping an eye on her property, even if it meant that she was inconvenienced by the search – which proves she has a sweet disposition. (San Francisco Chronicle)
A homeless man in Serbia dug up a place to rest in peace when he wandered into a local cemetery and decided to set up a mini-apartment in a freshly-dug burial plot. While some folks probably think that Bratislav Stojanovic made a grave mistake by moving his few possessions into the crypt, he says that, with a battery-operated lamp for light and a few blankets for warmth, it's "not a palace," but is comfortable enough. Cemetery keepers say the squatter can stay as long as he does not disturb other visitors. "The family who owned the tomb are long gone so technically it belongs to no one. If he behaves himself there are no plans to evict him," said a spokesman. (Orange News)
