ODD NEWS
Son steals, swallows his mother's jewelry
WASHINGTON, Pa. — Police in a southwestern Pennsylvania township said they've recovered one of two rings a man swallowed after he allegedly stole them from his mother — and are waiting for his digestive system to produce the other.
Fifty-three-year-old Robert Spriggs was charged with theft for allegedly stealing the rings, each valued at $30,000, while
visiting his 81 year-old mother on Saturday in North Strabane Township.
Police said Spriggs swallowed one he had in his pocket during questioning. Police said he had previously swallowed the other ring.
Spriggs is in the Washington County Jail in a cell without a flushable toilet. Police said they had recovered one ring Monday, but it wasn't immediately clear if they had found the other. Online court records don't list an attorney for Spriggs.
Pitchman for traffic safety a poor choice
FARGO, N.D.: The Fargo police chief says North Dakota State football coach Craig Bohl wouldn't have been tapped as a traffic safety pitchman had officials known about his driving record.
The Forum newspaper reports Bohl has been ticketed for at least 18 traffic offenses since he was hired in 2003.
Bohl's voice is featured in a
30-second traffic safety spot describing a string of crashes in Fargo that killed five people this fall.
It's aimed at repeat offenders, and Fargo Police Chief Keith Ternes says it makes the ad less effective when "the messenger might be somebody we're trying to reach."
Still, Ternes isn't pulling the ad. And Bohl says his driving history is one reason he agreed to do it.
"I looked myself in the mirror and said, 'I need to slow down,'"
he said.
Man in priest's robe steals donations
JACKSON, Mich. — A 52-year-old Jackson man accused of donning a priest's robe to steal parishioner donations from a church has been arrested. Sgt. Kevin Hiller told the Jackson Citizen Patriot the man stole an undisclosed amount of money and checks from St. John Catholic Church about 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Hiller said the man used the robe to gain access to a room where the money was located.
Witnesses helped police identify the man, who was arrested at his home.
Police have not released the suspect's name. They say he is on parole and remains held at the Jackson County Jail pending parole violation and larceny from a building charges.
Jackson is about 70 miles west of Detroit.
