CEDAR CITY, Utah - A 28-year-old woman has been cited for lewdness for exposing herself inside a store. The woman was riding a motorized cart inside Lin's Market Place on Thursday with her pants around her ankles and not wearing underwear.

Customers didn't notice the woman until she would stand up from the cart and bend over to look at items on the shelf, exposing her buttocks.

The woman told police she arrived in Cedar City with a circus but was left behind.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - A man decided that running naked through his neighborhood would be a good way to show his hesitant girlfriend that risk-taking is important. The only thing this stunt actually showed her was that it's a good way to be chased and shot at. The couple had been talking about marriage when the woman said she wasn't sure if she was ready. It was then the man began running naked down the street, ducking into some bushes when he saw a couple walking. A man walking past saw the rustling bushes and bare feet sticking out, and drew his .40-caliber handgun. The naked man took off, but the armed man ran after him and fired a shot, injuring the naked guy.

CANTON, N.Y. - A man was charged with burglary and criminal mischief Thursday after he allegedly broke into a funeral home and fell asleep in a coffin.

Joel Fish, 20, of Queensbury, was arrested after he was discovered at the O'Leary Funeral Home in Canton, 127 miles north of Syracuse.

Debra White, wife of the home's funeral director Joe White, said she noticed a broken window and open door to the casket display room when she awoke at 6:30 a.m. Inside, she saw a boot and pair of pants on the floor and a pair of knees sticking out of a stainless steel coffin.

Fish, who police said was intoxicated, was treated at Canton-Potsdam hospital for cuts. He was arraigned and released to return to court at a later date.

The funeral home estimates the damage from the burglary, mostly to the coffin, at $4,000.

WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia - It was a real-life version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears — only in reverse — when a woman came home to find a young bear eating oatmeal in her kitchen.

The bear apparently entered through an open sliding glass door, broke a ceramic food container and started eating, West Vancouver police Sgt. Paul Skelton said.

"It sounds like a nursery rhyme, doesn't it?" Skelton said. "At least we have a health-conscious bear on our hands."

Three police officers who went to the home Thursday couldn't get the bear to budge, so authorities let the animal finish its meal.

"The bear didn't appear to be aggressive and wasn't destroying the house, so they just let it do what it was doing and eventually the bear decided to make its way out of the residence and down toward a forested gully," Skelton said. "It ended the best it could."

Skelton said bears in the suburbs north of Vancouver have been coming out of hibernation as hungry as ever but later than usual but this spring because of a heavier than normal snowpack from the winter. The report Thursday was one of six complaints police said they received about bears in the area that day.

LINCOLN PARK, Mich. - A woman was wondering why she was having a hard time steering her car so she pulled into a gas station. The problem? There was a man's body wedged under her vehicle. Dominique Page, 19, apparently didn't realize she had run over the man as he lay in a Detroit street.  "The young woman was the not first person to hit him," said Detroit police Sgt. Eren Stephens Bell. "He apparently was already a hit-and-run victim when she ran over him." Page discovered the body when she stopped at a gas station about two miles down the road. The Detroit News identified the victim as Edison Fowler, 43.

RYE, N.H. - Police in a New Hampshire coastal resort believe a flasher who likes to wear underwear on his head and nothing below the neck is back. The most recent report, on Sunday, was from a woman sunbathing in Odiorne State Park in Rye, the Manchester Union Leader reported. She said a man with gray shorts on his head flashed her and then disappeared into the woods as she dialed 911 on her cell phone. From her account, the flasher might be more attractive with clothes. She described him as a middle-aged man with a big stomach and gray hair on his chest. Police Lt. Kevin Walsh said a similar man engaged in similar behavior in past years, generally approaching a woman alone and disappearing into the woods. But in one case last year, the flasher also fondled a woman.

Docs Remove 119 Nails From Woman's Stomach
By Associated Press
Sat Jul 1, 6:45 AM

HANOI, Vietnam - Physicians removed 119 nails _ many of them rusty _ from a woman's stomach months after she apparently swallowed them, a doctor said.

The 43-year-old woman arrived Wednesday at Hospital No. 121 in the southern city of Can Tho City, complaining of a severe stomachache, Dr. Tran Van Nam said Friday.

"After having her stomach X-rayed and scanned, we found a stack of strange objects and decided to operate as soon as possible," he said.

During surgery, doctors removed 119 nails, each about 3 inches long. Many were rusty, indicating they could have been in her stomach for months, Nam said.

The woman's stomach was scratched by the nails, but she did not suffer any major injuries, he said.

"Her life is not at risk now, and she is recovering," Nam said, adding that the patient was expected to be discharged soon.

There's a show like this on TLC on Monday nights, I believe... the strangest was a MAN had a fetus removed from his body.

Man Eats 53 3/4 Hot Dogs in 12 Minutes

NEW YORK - A 160-pound wonder from Japan set a new record by devouring 53 3/4 frankfurters in 12 minutes to win the annual Independence Day hot dog eating competition on Coney Island.

The feat earned Takeru Kobayashi, 27, his sixth straight title in the event, held at the original Nathan's Famous hot dog stand on Brooklyn's seashore.

He broke his own record of 53 1/2 hot dogs, set at the same competition two years ago.

Kobayashi's nauseating triumph was witnessed by thousands of raucous spectators who jammed the streets in front of the hot dog stand a block from the famed Coney Island boardwalk.

The champion eaters arrived just before noon in a bus from Manhattan, accompanied by a police escort.

Seasoned fans were on hand to see whether anyone would unseat Kobayashi _ a top-ranked eater who once ate 17.7 pounds of pan-seared cow brains to win $25,000.

Kobayashi's strongest competition was Joey Chestnut, a 220-pound civil engineering student from San Jose, Calif., who set an American record by eating 50 hot dogs during a recent qualifying tournament in Las Vegas.

Other competitors included 100-pound Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., who once ate 65 hard boiled eggs in a little more than 6 1/2 minutes, and local favorite Eric "Badlands" Booker, a 6-foot-4, 425-pound subway conductor from Long Island who holds speed-eating records for pies and matzo balls.

Chestnut jumped out to an early lead in the competition, sometimes jamming franks into his mouth with two hands as the crowd roared.

But he was passed by Kobayashi with about three minutes left in the contest.

As Chestnut struggled, red-faced, with veins bulging in his forehead, the Japanese star methodically chomped dog after dog, often dipping them in a soft drink before cramming them into his mouth.

When the clock expired, Chestnut had swallowed 52 Nathan's franks _ not quite enough.

OK, that was not enough money for me to even LOOK at the cow brains much less eat them?

STATELINE, Nev. - A bear cub drew a crowd of spectators at a Lake Tahoe neighborhood as it munched on barbecue-chicken-and-jalapeno pizza in the back seat of a vintage red Buick convertible.

It also apparently washed it down with a swig of a Jack Daniel's mixer, an Absolut vodka and tonic, and a beer taken from a cooler, the vehicle's owner said.

About 30 people watched the cub lumber around a parking lot in upper Kingbury Grade on Sunday before it homed in on the Buick and the spicy pizza on the floor.

The bruin was unfazed by the car's horn the blew nonstop as the cub pressed the seat into the steering wheel.

"The bear was loping along in the parking lot and then decides to get inside the car," said resident Jerry Patterson.

"People were screaming at him, the horn was going off, but he was completely unaware. He did what he wanted to do and the people didn't matter."

The bear remained inside the 1964 Buick Skylark for about 20 minutes and at times put his paws on the dash as if he were holding on for a ride, Patterson said.

The owner of the car, David Ziello of South Lake Tahoe, said the bruin didn't cause any damage, but slopped cheese and jalapenos on the seats and floor.

Carl Lackey, a biologist with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, said up to two dozen bears live in the Kingsbury region near the south shore of Lake Tahoe.

The residential area sees more of them because the bears have found a primary source from Dumpsters and people who leave their food and trash in the open, said Lackey, who tracks and relocates bears on the Nevada side of the Tahoe basin.

Lackey warned visitors and residents against keeping food inside their vehicles.

"When you are in bear habitat, regardless of the time of year, you cannot leave any kind of food out — whether it's food inside the car, trash inside or outside your car, or pet food," Lackey said.

"Bears will find it and in doing so, it is increasing your chances of serious conflict."

Ga. Dad Allegedly Taints Kids' Soup to Sue
By ERRIN HAINES, Associated Press Writer
Fri Jul 7, 9:58 PM

ATLANTA - A father accused of poisoning his children's soup in a scheme to sue the Campbell Soup Co. was indicted on tampering and fraud charges, authorities said. The children, a 3-year-old boy and his 18-month-old sister, were taken to hospital emergency rooms three times in January.

According to investigators, their father fed them tainted soup each time. On the third occasion, authorities said, he used the prescription drugs Prozac and Amitriptyline _ both used to treat depression _ making his young daughter so ill she was flow by helicopter to an Atlanta hospital.

William Allen Cunningham, 40, was charged with tampering with consumer products with reckless disregard for the risk that another person would be placed in danger of death or serious bodily injury. He also was charged with mail fraud, wire fraud and communicating false statements that a consumer product had been tampered with.

U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said Cunningham wanted to get money from the manufacturer by claiming its soup caused his children's illnesses. Cunningham contacted Camden, N.J.-based Campbell by mail and phone to complain, but there was no evidence the soup was tainted when it was purchased, Nahmias said.

The children are now in the custody of their mother, who has not been charged, he said. He declined to comment on their health.

Cunningham, in custody, was expected to appear before a federal judge next week. If convicted, he could face up to 75 years in prison. It wasn't immediately clear Friday if he had an attorney who could comment.
