ODD NEWS
Police say man drank before sobriety test
BELLEVIEW, Fla. — Authorities said a central Florida man took one last swig of alcohol while waiting to take a sobriety test.
Marion County Sheriff's deputies stopped 61-year-old Dana Seaman after noticing his car swerve three times. Seaman said he'd been drinking and agreed to a sobriety test. But first, Deputy Eric Larson said he watched Seaman drink from a cup and toss it under the passenger seat. According to a police report, the cup smelled strongly of alcohol.
Seaman refused a breath test. He has been charged with DUI.
A message left for Seaman was not immediately returned Monday.
Pa. woman strips while on work comp
in disability benefits.
QUAKERTOWN, Pa. — A Pennsylvania woman is facing insurance fraud charges after authorities say she worked as a stripper while collecting worker's compensation payments.
The state Attorney General's office said 43-year-old Christina Gamble, of Quakertown, collected thousands of dollars in insurance payments while working at C.R. Fanny's Gentlemen's Club and Sports Bar.
According to a complaint, Gamble claimed she fell and hurt her back while working at a restaurant in 2007 and told a doctor it was difficult for her to stand or change positions. Authorities say she received more than $22,000
Gamble was arraigned Thursday on two counts of insurance fraud and one count of theft by deception and released on her own recognizance.
A phone listing for Gamble could not immediately be located.
Deer burst into bar showing Bucks game
MENOMONIE, Wis. — There was more than one reason to "feat the deer" last weekend in Wisconsin.
The rallying cry for the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team turned into a punchline Sunday afternoon when two deer burst through the glass doors of a Menomonie restaurant as patrons watched the Bucks playoff game.
Stout Ale House general manager Jay Ouellette (wool-LET') says the lead buck bloodied its snout and was dazed, allowing two customers to wrestle it to the ground.
The other deer ran into a private room. Ouellette and a colleague managed to wrestle that one down as well. They carried both deer outside and the animals ran off.
Ouellette says the 30 or so customers were surprised but then began joking that they really did fear the deer.

Secretary Robert Barham opened the season last Wednesday to let trawlers harvest marketable white shrimp before any possible effects of the oil spill showed up in state waters.
A news release says department biologists find that marketable white shrimp have been taken, leaving only juvenile brown shrimp. It says the only reason for closing the season is to let the brown shrimp grow.
The area that will close Tuesday includes Zone 1, from the Mississippi-Louisiana state line to the western shore of South Pass, and inshore waters of Zone
2, from South Pass to the western shore of Vermilion Bay.
Spill not a factor in recent turtle deaths
GULFPORT, Miss. — Necropsies completed on five of at least 30 dead sea turtles found along Mississippi beaches in the past few days show no evidence of oil killing the reptiles.
Brian Gorman of the National Marine Fisheries Service in Gulfport, Miss., said Monday that no evidence of oil or contamination has been found. But he says that doesn't mean further analysis won't reveal something.
The carcasses are badly decomposed.
