Woman jailed for two days because of settled warrant
because of warring YORK, Pa. — A mistake in court records led to a two-night jail stay for a woman being investigated by police for playing music too loud.
Andrea Conn, of Windsor, Pa., was jailed Saturday night after an officer looking into the noise complaint discovered she was wanted for failing to appear in court in 2003.
But the warrant should not have been in the county's system because it was taken care of that year, York County Prothonotary Pamela
Lee said Wednesday.
The warrant was issued after Conn missed a court hearing for failure to pay court costs associated with seeking a protection-from-abuse order, Lee said. Conn was jailed briefly four years ago, but was released after someone else paid the court costs for her.
"We don't understand why (the warrant) wasn't taken out," Lee said. "I understand the woman's angst. It's awful."
Conn was released Monday
Ghost inspector debugs Santa Fe video mystery
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Jeepers,
it was just one of those creepers.
An investigator specializing in all things bizarre has debugged the mystery of the Santa Fe courthouse ghost — a specter captured on a blurry surveillance videotape.
"In the end, it was in fact a bug or insect of some sort that was on the lens of the surveillance camera",said Benjamin Radford, a paranormal investigator and managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine.
The image — a glowing spot drifting in front of a patrol car parked beneath some trees — generated more than 132,000 hits on YouTube.com since Santa Fe County Deputy Alfred Arana first noticed
the image June 15.
“There were a wide variety of theories on what it was,” said Radford. “Some said it was a ghost. Some said it was drifting cottonwood fluff. Some said it was a prank.”
But the one that stuck was a ghost. Radford drove to Santa Fe to watch the original video.
After various tests, Radford shelled out $9 for 1,750 ladybugs and put the bugs on the camera casing. "Sure enough, we got the ghost," he said.
Radford said it was a rare definitive answer in his line of work investigating paranormal activity.
