ODD NEWS Thief evades police, hides in Port-a-Potty
MOUNDSVILLE, WVa. Police looking for a purse snatcher were able to flush the suspect out from the portable toilet where he was hiding.
"A Port-A-Potty is not a good place to hide," police Chief James Kudlak said Wednesday. "There's only one way out."
Johnny Snodgrass, 21, apparently matched the description of a man caught on videotape at a store where an 89-year-old woman's purse was stolen in March and from a nearby video poker establishment where her wallet was found, police said.
Acting on a tip, police went to a construction site to question him, but he ran into the portable restroom. Officers yelled for him to come out and he soon complied, police said.
Snodgrass was being in jail on $5,000 bond on Wednesday. He's scheduled to appear before a magistrate on April 25.
Grandma arrested after 'cat-and-mouse' game
PEORIA, III. — A woman said Thursday that she regrets illegally taking her 6-year-old grandson from Illinois and hopes "playing cat-and-mouse" with authorities for more than two years doesn't keep her from regaining custody of the boy.
Garretson, 68, says she panicked and fled after disagreements over her developmentally disabled grandson's medical treatment made her fear DCFS would take him away from her.
"I think I will be able to get him back. I pray it won't be too long ... I think they're going to fight me pretty hard because of me playing cat-and-mouse for 2 1/2 years"Garrettson said.
Garretson was arrested April 3 after a tip sparked by a missing person flier led police to a small apartment where she was living with her grandson in Tulsa, Okla. She was released two days later and Illinois officials say they will not prosecute her on a warrant of failing to return the child to DCFS.
