Cavalier Boater And A Near Miss From Magnum
"What do you mean I can't take this boat out? I'm a
New Yorker."
The
man admitted it was not his boat, which is owned by a Warren man. He said “the current in the river
was too strong” and he could not return the boat to the other side, LaCross
said. He was looking for a ride back to his cousin’s house.
It could have been a deadly game of X-Box...
A
bullet from a mishandled magnum grazed a teenager's face after a bullet
shot accidentally from a neighbor's a revolver flew through a nearby house
and almost hit him while
playing video games.
He
was unhurt, but white plaster from the wall coated his face, according to
police. According to reports from neighbors, the bullet also almost hit
children located in one of the apartment rooms.
The
bullet continued through another wall in the living room, finally becoming
lodged in a downstairs bedroom closet.
Attic visitors trigger alarm, start altercation:
Squirrels triggering a burglar alarm had the neighbors of
a 60 Rumstick Road
homeowner quite upset last Saturday afternoon.
The
owner of the home at 60 Rumstick
Road was away on a vacation in Mexico when his
alarm continued to blare. The owner could not be reached.
A
neighbor on Thomas Street
contacted the police about 2 p.m. to deactivate the alarm, triggering
another complaint of disorderly conduct. She said the alarm company owner made
threatening comments after she complained about the alarm to the firm’s
dispatcher. No one was charged.
The
homeowner returned on Sunday to find the alarm deactivated. He also found the
cause of the commotion: squirrels going into and out of his attic, which the
motion detector picked up to trigger the burglar alarm.
At
least he didn't disturb his mother's grave:
