WAUSAU, Wis. — A Wausau resident rescued and arrested a drunken man who plunged into the Wisconsin River while chasing a one-legged goose. The 40-year-old Wausau man told officers he
wanted to catch the bird and roast it. He said he took off his shirt and shoes Thursday afternoon and jumped into the frigid water.
Authorities said he was overcome by the cold water and had to be rescued by firefighters. Police said the man had been drinking heavily before the stunt.
The man was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
Police told the Wausau Daily Herald that as far as they know, the goose is still on the loose.
Septic boat dubbed the 'Down Winder'
SALISBURY, Mass. — Salisbury, Mass., has a new sewage pump-out boat, and its name is more than just clever. It's also good
advice.
The vessel, named Down Winder, travels from boat to boat and pumps out onboard septic systems. The craft was paid for in part by a state environmental grant and will help keep the harbor clean in the town near the New Hampshire border.

Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said Jimmy McCoy allegedly jumped into the ambulance and drove off with the emergency lights on.
Paramedics then radioed that their ambulance had been stolen with them inside.
Prosecutors said McCoy seemed to think he was driving his diabetic friend to the hospital.
