Speeder destroys camera, gets 4-month sentence
MANCHESTER, England — His driving was swift, but his thinking wasn't.
A 28-year-old man who blew up a speed-trap camera was sentenced to prison for four months on Wednesday.
Craig Moore, 28, from Doncaster, said he had seen a flash of light from the camera, indicating that it had detected him speeding on Aug. 14, 2005.
He claimed he feared his driver's license would be suspended, making him unable to work to support his family.
So, he drove back to the site and employed materials that he uses in his work as a welder to melt the
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Groundkeepers at Forest Hill Cemetery thought it was kids who were stealing dozens of American flags. That is, until one found a giant squirrel's nest.
"The defendant accepts that he has created a mountain out of a molehill by behaving stupidly. He finds himself in a great deal of trouble rather than the little deal of trouble he would have been in" said defense lawyer Andrew Bailey.
They were ripped and serving as the foundation of a giant squirrel nest.
"Lo and behold, I found the missing flags," Ender said.
camera's metal body in an explosive fire.
"I was mowing, looked up out into the distance, and something caught my eye," said Dave Ender, a groundskeeper employed by the Eau Claire Parks and Recreation Department.
Officials confirmed that the camera Moore sped past was only to monitor traffic patterns and was designed to deter speeders, not catch them. It flashed only as a warning.
In fact, he would have been in no trouble.
That backfired because images of his speeding survived the explosion, as did images of him returning to attack the camera. He pleaded guilty to a charge of damaging property.
He drove his riding lawnmower to a nearby street intersection and looked up a tree.

Police use macadamia nuts as decoy in drug bust
MOBILE, Ala. — Police have found a new use for macadamia nuts: undercover work.
"Those little rascals, they're just amazing," he said.
Officers used chopped macadamia nuts to resemble rocks of crack cocaine during a drug sting Friday and Saturday on a street corner near downtown that has been the subject of repeated complaints about illegal drug activity.
As part of the sting, police arrested six people on charges of distribution of a controlled substance. Police seized crack cocaine, prescription pain medication, and more than $4,000 in cash at one location, Johnson said.
The people caught buying fake crack were charged with a misdemeanor: attempting to possess a controlled substance.

Couple charged with first-degree murder
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An Independence couple already accused in the videotaped sexual torture and death of a woman in Jackson County were charged Thursday with murdering another rape victim in a neighboring county.
Richard D. Davis, 42, and Dena D. Riley, 40, are charged in Clay County with one count each of first-degree murder in the April 9 suffocation of Michelle Ricci, 36. Her charred, skeletal remains were found May 27 in rural Clay County, just north of Independence.
Riley and Davis remain jailed in Jackson County on charges of murder, rape, kidnap and sexual assault in the May death of Marsha Spicer, 41, as well as the sexual attack on Ricci.
Authorities have said videotapes showing the defendants committing brutal sex acts on the two women — Spicer on May 14, Ricci on April 8 — turned up in the couple's Independence apartment.
Ricci's death came to light after Davis and Riley were captured May 25 in southwest Missouri and brought back to the Kansas City area to be charged in Spicer's death. Both defendants led investigators to Ricci's remains.
