Man bites pastor's husband at church
WILKINSBURG, Pa. — A western Pennsylvania man was charged with simple assault for allegedly attacking a pastor's husband during a Palm Sunday church service. Police said the man, 31, was jailed on three counts of simple assault stemming from Sunday's incident at the Christian Church of Wilkinsburg, just east of Pittsburgh.
Witnesses told authorities that the man attacked the pastor's husband during the service and had to be restrained by members of the congregation until police arrived.
Police said the victim suffered cuts on his ear and forehead and
teeth marks on his hand in the attack.
Tiger moved after days spent in moat
The suspect was arraigned Sunday evening and was jailed in lieu of $1,000 bond.
SAN FRANCISCO — 'Tony' the Siberian tiger is back on display at the San Francisco Zoo after being shot with tranquilizers and hauled out of a moat where he'd spent four nights.
Zoo officials say it's not clear why Tony stayed in the moat. He's in good health, although he's 18 and a recent medical evaluation showed signs of senility.
Zoo officials decided on Monday that Tony could no longer stay in the dry moat he climbed into Thursday. The excrement was
piling up and officials worried about a potential health hazard
So with the help of firefighters, they hit the 360-pound tiger with tranquilizer darts, strapped him to a board and hauled him out with a pulley.
Siberian tigers have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years in the wild and 14 to 20 years in captivity.

nothing but a face mask, and ran around the aisles.
A police report says officers found the suspect in the bathroom of a nearby Hardee's restaurant. Employees say he entered the fast food outlet wearing nothing but an orange hooded sweat shirt and asked if anyone could lend him clothes. An employee gave him a pair of athletic shorts.
