The Mississippi auditor demanded Davis pay back more than $170,000 for personal expenses billed to taxpayers. Including $67 for the sex toy. The FBI confirmed that it is investigating Davis after the auditor’s probe showed possible violations of federal laws. Read more HERE
Portland. Ore.- Police arrested a man who allegedly assaulted three people with a blue light saber at a Hayden Island Toys R Us. A 9-1-1 caller said the man was inside the store, swinging the "Star Wars" weapon of choice at customers. While the caller was on the phone, the man then left the store — light saber in hand — and walked out to the parking lot. Officers tried to arrest the man, but he kept swinging the light saber at them, Simpson said. One tried to use his Taser on the suspect but the device didn't work. Another officer used his Taser and made contact, but the man knocked one of the wires away with the light saber. The officers finally arrested the man after grabbing him and pinning him to the ground. He faces "several criminal charges" after he is evaluated, Officers said. Read more HERE

What The Hell Theater
Jonathan Paul Utecht, 22, was recently charged by the Washington County Attorney's Office with second-degree burglary, terroristic threats and animal torture, all felonies. When officers and the woman arrived at her apartment they found Utecht standing outside the apartment. His hands were bloody and he warned the woman that she "did not want to go inside the apartment and see what he had done." Officers found the phrase "I will kill you" written in black marker in large letters. The phrase "I love you" was written on the kitchen floor in blood. A dead snake was lying by the words written in its blood with a knife sticking out of its midsection. The man told the officers he was very upset over a recent breakup with the woman. The two had been dating on and off for the past year. He said he killed the snake because he knew his ex-girlfriend loved it. The woman also reported several items were missing from her apartment, including video games, a garbage can and a George Foreman Grill. The man admitted he stole the items and brought them to his bedroom at his parents' home. Read more HERE
A 25-year-old man landed in jail for stealing $ 3,200 diamond ring, after his girlfriend posted a picture of the 'engagement' ring on social networking site Facebook. Police in Burlington arrested Ryan Jarvis after he proposed to his fiancee, allegedly with a stolen diamond ring. The arrest was made after the cops received a tip off following a Facebook posting by Jarvis' girlfriend. The man was charged with stealing a white gold solitaire ring worth $3,200 which he took off with from a jewelery store where he was looking at jewelery for about an hour. Officers said that Jarvis proposed to his girlfriend, who shared the news on Facebook, included a picture of the ring. This prompted some of her friends call police, as they realized it matched the stolen ring they'd seen on the news. Burlington Police say Jarvis' girlfriend was wearing the stolen ring when they came question the couple. However, they don't think the woman was aware that the ring was stolen and thus don't plan to file criminal charges against her. Read more HERE

What The Hell Theater
The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. You don't have to bring physical evidence. A "very intoxicated" man who was carrying a beer crashed an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio and refused to leave, according to court documents. Darrin Porter, 45, showed up drunk at the 12 Step House at 12:15 a.m. and wandered the hallways, interrupting a meeting according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Employees escorted Porter out of the facility, but he allegedly returned. When police arrived, the suspect declined to answer officers' questions and demanded to know their names and social security numbers. Police claim they detected a "strong odor" of alcohol on the suspect's breath and took him into custody. Read more HERE
BROOKVILLE, Pa. — Authorities in northwestern Pennsylvania say a man published an obituary for his living mother in a ploy to get paid bereavement time off from work.
Relatives called The Jeffersonian Democrat newspaper in Brookville after the obit appeared to report the woman was actually alive and well. The woman herself then visited the paper. Brookville police charged 45-year-old Scott Bennett on Tuesday with disorderly conduct. Police Chief Ken Dworek says Bennett wrote up the memorial notice because he didn't want to get fired for taking time off. Read more HERE

What the Hell Theater
This is one sticky stick up.
A robber held up an Indianapolis, Ind. bank armed with a glue gun, police allege.
Believing the glue gun was a real firearm, tellers handed over an unspecified amount of cash and the perp fled.
But the bank robber's plan came unglued rather quickly, according to authorities.
Using footage from surveillance cameras, investigators with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force identified the suspect as Aaron Randolph and took him into custody, WISH TV reports.
Police say they recovered the stolen money and the glue gun, which had been wrapped in black electrical tape. They also determined that the bomb wasn't actually explosive. Read more HERE
A Pennsylvania man has become a case study in what not to say to cops. Devonte Davon Jeter was arrested for marijuana possession in May, and in a preliminary hearing yesterday, his lawyer made the case that the pot could have belonged to someone else in his car, the Beaver County Times reports. But it seems Jeter had already put a hole in that story: When the 19-year-old left custody in May, he "asked if he could have his weed back," an officer testified. "I don't know what else ‘Can I have my weed back' can mean, other than it's his," said a prosecutor. The judge, not so surprisingly, determined that there was enough evidence to hold the Jeter for trial. Read more HERE

Shakira covers Metallica
Did you know that SHAKIRA is totally into METALLICA? She is. She says, quote, "I am great fan of bands like [LED] ZEPPELIN, NIRVANA or THE CURE. I used to be a huge Metallica fan when I was 15 [or] 16 years old. "Back then, I used to sing 'Nothing Else Matters' all day long. I am still a very huge Metallica fan, though. [And] I thought it would be kind of surprising to include it in my repertoire for this tour." Shakira has been performing "Nothing Else Matters" on her current tour. Song starts around the 3:05 marks. Singing at 3:55.
