MELBOURNE, Fla. — A doctor dressed as Captain America was arrested after groping a woman at a bar and fighting with her boyfriend, authorities said.
Man dressed as super hero arrested after bar fight
Patrons at the bar were dressed in costumes as part of a bar crawl Saturday night, police spokeswoman Jill Frederiksen said.
A man carrying a burrito and dressed as Captain America approached her, began to say dirty things and touched her inappropriately, police said. He then brawled with her boyfriend, authorities said.
Several patrons who had dressed as the super hero were asked to step outside so the woman could identify the suspect, Frederiksen said.
After he was arrested, he tried to flush marijuana down a toilet at a police station, police said.
She picked out Raymond Adamcik, 54, police said.
Adamick was released on a $2,500 bond and faces charges of possession of marijuana, destruction of evidence, disorderly conduct and battery.
A secretary at Adamick's office said he was on leave and that the office was not accepting messages for him.
Long-time feud climaxes with coffee mug fight
KEY CENTER, Wash. — A local fire commissioner was jailed after a fight in which a fellow commissioner was attacked with a coffee mug, apparently the latest incident in a long-standing feud.
Vanity bashed Bosch repeatedly on the head with a coffee mug, Troyer said.
The commissioners, 71-year-old Allen Yanity and 64-year-old Jim Bosch, both of Lakebay, got into a heated exchange Tuesday during a break in a meeting as they were standing with their wives, sheriff's Detective Ed Trover said.
Yanity, elected to the Fire Protection District 16 panel last year, has accused Bosch of trying to force him off the commission by extortion. Bosch, first elected in 1998, has accused Yanity of harassing and intimidating him.
Bosch, 64, was taken to Tacoma General Hospital for stitches and other treatment.
Yanity was jailed for investigation of second-degree aggravated assault, a felony, Troyer said. He was released after posting ball and was to appear in court Wednesday afternoon
The Pierce County sheriff's department didn't immediately return phone calls Wednesday to The Associated Press.

A river runs through it
Bob King/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rich Breden, of Duluth, Minn., fishes at sunrise off a rock near the mouth of the French River, Minn., April 18. Breden and a couple of dozen other anglers lined the shore near the French River, prospecting Lake Superior's shallows for Kamloops rainbow trout. The fish are supposed to be here, staging offshore and making their spawning runs up North Shore streams. Steelhead, Lake Superior’s “wild” rainbow trout, should be making their spawning runs up streams, too. But action has been light for both steelhead and Kamloops rainbows.

Woman criticized after keeping livestock in van
“The van is kept clean,” Buhr said. “We’ve checked several times. There’s really nothing in ordinances or state statutes that says she can’t do that.”
Despite protests from some residents, city animal control officer Ray Buhr said Weidt isn't violating any laws or treating the animal cruelly.
SHERIDAN, Wyo. — Shirley Weidt says people should stop complaining about the goat in her minivan. After all, there's plenty of room in the ba-a-a-ack with the seats removed.
Weidt said it's "nobody's business" if she keeps her goat in a van. The goat is in the van so it won't escape, she said.
Beverly Saxton, who lives near property Weidt owns thinks keeping the goat in the minivan is cruel.
Buhr said he doesn't like the goat being in the van either, but he said the animal has food and water, and the back seats have been removed for more room.
"A farm animal should have the opportunity to graze and exercise," Saxton said. "When it's trapped in a van, it doesn't have those possibilities. That's not an environment for an animal. That's hideous."
