Police arrest man for misuse of 911
BRADENTON, Fla. — A Bradenton man was arrested after reportedly calling 911 a total of 18 times in two months. Manatee County deputies arrested a 55-year-old man Tuesday, when authorities said he called 911 three times. During the third call, the suspect reportedly accused the deputy who had responded to an earlier call of making out with a prostitute who lived across the street from him.
Another deputy responded to the man's home, and it was learned that he had made 15 other 911 calls since Feb. 15. He had been previously warned not to call 911 for non-emergencies.
The man was arrested and
charged with misuse of 911.
He was being held on $1,500
bail.
Pig manure used to make asphalt
EUREKA, Mo. — The outer road along Interstate 44 near Six Flags St. Louis is freshly paved — with asphalt made from recycled swine manure. It is believed to be the first time asphalt has been created from swine manure. Two St. Louis County companies, road contractor Pace Construction Co. and the engineering firm Innoventor, joined together on the project.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Innoventor perfected the process of converting the animal waste into a bio-oil used in asphalt binder.
Hog producers are optimistic
that, if the project works, it will create an additional source of revenue while helping the environment.
Woman discovers python in toilet
LA VISTA, Neb. — A woman reported finding a python in the toilet of her La Vista hotel room. Officials with the Nebraska Humane Society estimate the python found Thursday morning at the Hampton Inn was about 3 years old. They said pythons weren't typically found in the wild, so it was likely this python was a pet.
Hotel officials declined to comment.
