ODD NEWS Newspaper catches thief
ODD NEWS
LEWISTON, Idaho — A man identified in a front-page newspaper photo has been sentenced for what he was doing in another front-page photograph.
Michael Millhouse, is painting decorative Christmas greetings on storefront windows in one photo published Dec. 13 in the Lewiston Tribune. The other image was taken from surveillance video footage that reportedly showed a then-unidentified man slipping a women's wallet in the pocket of that same coat and walking away.
Millhouse, 43, of Clarkston, Wash., was sentenced to 365 days in jail with 335 suspended and was allowed to serve the remaining 30 days under electronic home monitoring. He paid 600 restitution, the amount the woman said was in her purse when it disappeared.
Copy editors at the Tribute spotted the similarity of the person in the photos, and an employee called police in Clarkston. Prosecutor Ben Nichols thanked the northern Idaho paper after the sentencing.
Boy wedged in washer
DOVER, Ohio — Talk about an oversized load: A 4-year-old boy got stuck in his family's top-loading washing machine, and firefighters had to use a metal cutter to get him out.
Donovan Hasseman, who wasn't hurt, was wedged up against the agitator with a knee folded against his chest, while the machine was empty and not running Sunday night, Dover Fire Cap, Mike Mossor said.
Firefighters responding to a 911 call from the boy's mother tried to help him out, but he couldn't move. Mossor said.
The fire department used its hydraulic "jaws-of-life" tool normally used to remove crash victims from wrecked vehicles to cut through the machine's walls and tub.

"I think it's kind of unnecessary I mean she already has her own show so what would kind of benefit would her having her own channel offer?"
