Tyler man shows up to jury duty with beer in hand, allegedly drunk
A 23-year-old Tyler man got out of jury duty Wednesday but landed himself behind bars.
The man was arrested about 10 a.m. at the Smith County Courthouse after he showed up for jury duty, drinking from a large Coca-Cola cup, looking sluggish and slurring his speech.
Courthouse staff members reported the suspicious man to sheriff's deputies at the courthouse.
The deputies said the man was walking in an unstable manner and appeared to not be in a normal mental state when he left the jury room and exited the building, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
When the man attempted to come back inside the courthouse, deputies stopped him. Once he was stopped, he turned the Coca-Cola cup over to the deputies.
After identifying the man, the deputies asked him what was in the cup, according to the affidavit. The deputy reported a strong smell of alcohol coming from the cup and found what appeared to be beer. The man confirmed that, the affidavit states.
The man was arrested and charged for public intoxication and booked into the Smith County Jail where he was held on a $260 bond, according to Smith County judicial records. He has previously been arrested this year for public intoxication and driving under the influence.
It is the policy of the Tyler Morning Telegraph not to release the names of people charged with misdemeanor offenses.

Man Threatens To Shoot Off Own Penis During Fight
A Wisconsin man who argued with his wife about watching porn has been reported to have threatened to shoot off his own penis, before going into another room and firing four shots.
Robert Ahorner, 57, was having a fight with his wife about looking at porn online, according to the Gazette Extra.
"If I'm not using it, I might as well shoot it off," he reportedly told her during their argument. According to Ahorner, he had drank a 12-pack of beer the day that the argument occurred.
Police who responded to the scene on May 3 discovered what appeared to be four bullet holes in the floor in a bathroom at the East Troy home.
Ahorner told a deputy he had aimed the gun at the floor and fired it to scare his wife. He said he intended for the rounds to go into the basement, which he said was empty at the time.
According to his wife, Ahorner struggles with mental health issues and has been prescribed a number of medications.
The argument began at about 5 p.m., when Ahorner was allegedly looking at porn online. The criminal complaint then describes how he grabbed a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol, pointing at his penis.
Ahorner then insulted his wife with profanities before going into the bathroom, where the wife heard two more shots, and then another when she came to check on him, according to the complaint. She said that she heard another shot after calling 911.
Ahorner has been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and felony endangering safety by reckless use of a firearm. He was released on bail, and a competency exam has been ordered, court records show.

Oscar Mayer Wiener Drone Designed To Make It Rain Hot Dogs
It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane, and it definitely isn’t Superman: Oscar Mayer is adding a drone to its Wienermobile fleet, one that the company says will drop hot dogs on hungry, Earthbound customers below — one wiener at a time.
The drone is 15 inches wide (without propellers), 24 inches long, and weighs about six pounds. It can fly for up to 15 minutes — around a mile total — carrying a single hot dog at an altitude of 1,200 feet.
The WienerDrone — joined by fellow newcomer, the WienerCycle — will debut its hot-dog dropping capabilities in Weiner, AR, on the Fourth of July, Oscar Mayer says, as part of a campaign promoting its overhauled hot dogs. The dogs are now free of all added nitrates, nitrites, by-products, and artificial preservatives.
According to the company, the WienerDrone is the first unmanned hot dog-carrying aircraft designed for remote location delivery. However, it’s worth noting that the Phillie Phanatic has been launching hot dogs from a pressurized wiener gun at baseball fans since 1996. He has also been known to turn the wiener gun on rival mascots:

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--A 37-year-old Nashville woman was arrested on Sunday for filing a false report after her husband refused to get her ice cream.
According to the arrest affidavit for the woman, officers responded to her home after she alleged her husband had punched her in the face. Upon arrival, her husband told police there was no violence, that his wife was angry because she wanted him to get her ice cream but he refused due to being tired from working all day.
The woman admitted she had not been assaulted and just wanted police there so her husband would "calm down."
The officer says he notified the woman it was a crime to file a false report and she would be placed under arrest. The woman first asked to use the bathroom, which she was allowed to do as long as the door was left cracked open. Police say after two minutes, they heard a window open, followed by a loud thud. The woman had jumped through the bathroom window and fled the scene.
She was later captured and booked into the Davidson County Jail for filing a false report and evading arrest.

Whooping should be banned because it excludes deaf people, Nation Union of Students say
The Telegraph - Students who whoop, cheer and clap should face “consequences” because they are excluding deaf people, delegates at the National Union of Students conference said.
Audience members were repeatedly warned that they must cease whooping to express support for a speaker, because it has a “serious impact” on the accessibility of the conference
Delegates at the NUS annual conference in Brighton were encouraged to use “jazz hands” instead of clapping - where students wave their hands in the air - as this is deemed a more inclusive form of expression.
Estelle Hart, an NUS elections committee member who was chairing a session on Thursday, told students: “No whooping, it does have a serious impact on some delegates ability to access conference.”
She later gave another “gentle reminder not to whoop”. Shelly Asquith, the NUS vice president for welfare, returned to the theme, telling delegates: “We’ve had a number of requests that people stop whooping”.
The Durham University student union proposed a motion at the conference that would see clapping and whooping banned at all future NUS events.
The motion noted that “access needs of disabled students are disregarded/overlooked in terms of conference member behaviour and NUS structures” adding that this can lead to the “safety and wellbeing” of disabled students being compromised.
The motion calls for “reduced cheering or unnecessary loud noises on conference floor, including whooping and clapping” and warns of “consequences for those who ignore this requirement”. In the past, NUS events have banned clapping on the grounds that it might “trigger anxiety”.
Critics say that such behavior is typical of the “snowflake generation” of students, who are seen as over-sensitive and quick to take offense.
Last week it emerged that Oxford University's Equality and Diversity Unit issued guidance to students advising them that students who avoid making eye contact with their peers could be guilty of racism.
The University of Glasgow started issuing “trigger warnings” for theology students studying the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, whereby students are told they may see distressing images and are given the opportunity to leave.
Commenting on the use of "jazz hands" in lieu of clapping, an NUS spokesman said: "The hand gesture used [during the conference] is the sign used in the British Sign Language vocabulary for applause. It means more people can participate in our conference.
"We don’t actively stop our members from clapping, they choose to be respectful and enable other people to get involved.”

Want sex? Give me McNuggets. Florida woman charged with prostitution after meal deal

BRADENTON
A Florida woman has been charged with prostitution after she agreed to perform a sexual act for $25 and chicken McNuggets, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
Alex Direeno, 22, was arrested at 10:15 p.m. Tuesday and charged with prostitution and possession of drug paraphernalia. She is being held at the Manatee County jail on bonds totaling $620.
Direeno walked out of the Marathon gas station in Bradenton and unknowingly waved at an undercover detective with the sheriff’s office Special Investigations Division who was talking to another woman, according to an arrest report. The detective told the other woman he was there to pick up Direeno, and Direeno got into his car.
As the undercover detective drove north on 14th Street West, he told her that he wanted oral sex and she agreed to do it for $25. As they briefly went back and forth on the price, she finally agreed to perform the act for $25 and Chicken McNuggets.
How many Chicken McNuggets was not specified in the report.
The detective showed Direeno he had cash and he pulled over in the 4200 block of 14th Street West, where other detectives were waiting to take her into custody.
When Direeno’s purse was searched, detectives found two hypodermic needles, several small baggies, a spoon and a burnt glass pipe — consistent with either heroin or crack cocaine use.
Just last month, Direeno was placed on probation for three years after she pleaded guilty to grand theft auto and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Newser - Not surprising: a 10-year-old boy proclaiming, "This is fun!" as he zips around town behind the wheel of his mom's Jeep Grand Cherokee. Even less surprising: the mom getting arrested for allegedly letting him do so. Per the Connecticut Post and Hartford Courant, that's what police say recently happened in Monroe, where locals called in to report a video on Facebook in which the boy was seen at the wheel of 38-year-old Lisa Nussbaum's car, cruising around the neighborhood while his mother apparently live-streamed from the passenger seat.Cops say the underage driver, who didn't seem to be sporting a seatbelt in the video, appeared to drive at a reasonable speed as his mother was heard offering directions. The Monroe PD says Nussbaum was arrested and charged with risk of injury or impairing morals of a minor and subsequently released, per WTNH; she's set to appear in court on Friday.

Shirtless man fires corncobs at neighbor’s house using potato gun
USA. TODAY
A Rhode Island man opened fire on his neighbor's home this week — using corncobs and a homemade potato gun.
Jeffrey M. Osella, 50, has been feuding with his neighbor for the past 13 years, police say.
Tuesday night, after a yelling argument between the two, Osella loaded corncobs into a PVC pipe potato gun and shot them at his neighbor’s house.
"This particular incident did not stem from a new argument," Captain Shawn Lacey of the Westerly Police Department told USA TODAY.
A girl riding a bicycle nearby dodged a cob, but no one was struck or injured, Lacey said.
When police arrived at Osella’s home, he was intoxicated, shirtless and covered in corn kernels. Osella told police he didn’t shoot at the neighbor, just in the direction of his home, The Westerly Sun reported.

Cops called to gas station after man squirts bear spray down pants, strips nude, then pours milk on genitals
From the EDMONTON JOURNAL
PENTICTON, B.C. — Mounties in Penticton, B.C., say they got quite an eyeful last week after a man peeled off his clothes and began washing himself with milk after inadvertently spraying bear spray down his pants.
RCMP spokesman Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth said officers were called to a local gas station shortly before 2 a.m. on Aug. 24 to find the victim completely naked.
“He was in excruciating pain and vigorously using his shirt to scrub his genitals with homogenized milk in an attempt to relieve the pain,” said Wrigglesworth.
The man told police he had been attacked by three unknown men, but Wrigglesworth said an investigation revealed the spray pattern “was consistent with the alleged victim carrying his own can of bear spray and it went off unintentionally.”
He said the victim then became uncooperative.
Later that night, police were called to a home and found five people outside rolling on the ground after they, too, were hit with bear spray.
Wrigglesworth said the five were also uncooperative, but told police they were attacked over a debt.
