Homeless woman lived in man's closet for year
Japanese man became aware of her presence when food began vanishing


TOKYO - A homeless woman who sneaked into a man’s house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was arrested in Japan after he became suspicious when food mysteriously began disappearing.

Police found the 58-year-old woman Thursday hiding in the top compartment of the man’s closet and arrested her for trespassing, police spokesman Hiroki Itakura from southern Kasuya town said Friday.

The resident of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone after becoming puzzled by food disappearing from his kitchen over the past several months.

TAMPA - A nude maid is accused of really cleaning up at a Florida man's home. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said a 50-year-old man hired the maid from the Internet on Friday to clean his Tampa home.

Authorities said the woman arrived at the home in a one-piece, light colored dress. She took off the dress and cleaned the house for $100-per-hour. Sheriff's office spokeswoman Debbie Carter said the man told deputies he left the maid alone in the bedroom to clean.

‘Duct tape bandit’ stuck with 10-year sentence
Man fashioned unorthodox mask for Kentucky liquor store heist in 2007


CATLETTSBURG, Ky. - A man who wrapped his head in duct tape and tried to rob an eastern Kentucky liquor store was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison for the bizarre caper, which spawned mocking videos on YouTube.

Judge David Hagerman sentenced 25-year-old Kasey G. Kazee in Boyd Circuit Court, said deputy circuit clerk Cathy Alley.

Kazee pleaded guilty last month to second-degree robbery.

Police said Kazee entered an Ashland liquor store on Aug. 10 with his entire head, except for openings at his eyes and mouth, wrapped in duct tape.

Two wives get wise, snare shared hubby & Man's wife No. 3 comes forward

, ,

I was surfing the Internet when I found this story online:

Two wives get wise, snare shared hubby
They orchestrate his arrest on bigamy charge

CARY - Two women married to the same man teamed up this week to turn him over to police, one of the wives said Wednesday.

Police charged Keron Lamont Wilkins, 30, of 104 Home Trace Circle in Clayton with one felony count of bigamy, according to an arrest warrant filed at the Wake County Magistrate's Office early Tuesday morning.

Bigamy is a Class 1 felony, punishable by four to 10 months in prison.

Police accused Wilkins of marrying Shannetta Dawn Stone, 32, of Richmond, Va., on March 20 while he was married to Chaka Miles Wilkins, his wife of eight years and the mother of his children, ages 4 and 8 months.

Stone first learned of the suspected bigamy April 19, when she talked with Keron Wilkins' mother, Cynthia Moody, a teacher's aide in Emporia, Va.

Stone said Moody told her that her son was married to someone else.

Stone confronted Wilkins, but he lied, saying he was not married. Stone gave him a week to produce divorce papers or she would call the police.

More than a week passed.

Now this is not the end of the story, folks. There is a little bit more as you can see next:

Man's wife No. 3 comes forward

A third woman came forward today to say that she, too, is married to a Clayton man who already is charged with being married to two women at the same time.

Jenean Baker, 34, of Atlanta said she and Keron Wilkins wed Nov. 25, 2005, in Miami. She said Wilkins had her name tattooed on his chest.

Wilkins, 30, is in jail on a bigamy charge. He is accused of marrying Shannetta Dawn Stone, 32, of Richmond, Va., on March 20 while he was also married to Chaka Miles Wilkins, his wife of eight years and the mother of his children, ages 4 and 8 months.

Stone said he shared an apartment with her in Cary while he also was living with Chaka Wilkins in Clayton.

In an interview this morning, Baker said that she knew Keron Wilkins had been married to Chaka Wilkins. But she said her husband gave her the impression the relationship was over.

"About four months after we were married, Chaka called me and told me he was already married," Baker said.

Baker said she was shocked at the phone call. She said she was shocked again to learn via news accounts this week about his marriage to Stone.

Woman, 19, becomes youngest college professor

World’s youngest professor can’t legally drink
Alia Sabur, a prodigy in many ways, says she wants to share her knowledge

Perhaps in Alia Sabur’s wildly advanced studies she came across a famous quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

“Knowing is not enough. We must apply,” the German writer once observed.

That could serve as explanation for what prompted the 19-year-old to become the youngest college professor in history.

Armed with prodigious wisdom, Sabur told TODAY’s Ann Curry on Wednesday that knowledge is power — especially when sharing it.

“I really enjoy teaching,” said Sabur. “It’s something where you can make a difference. It’s not just what you can do, but you can enable a lot of other people to make their changes.”

Sabur, from Northport, N.Y., has clearly been ahead of the learning curve since an early age.

Vibrating sex toy triggers bomb scare in Swedish apartment garage

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A Swedish bomb squad called out to disarm a suspicious package on Wednesday did not find a ticking bomb. But they did find a vibrating sex toy.

A janitor alerted police after he found the package in a garage of an apartment building in Goteborg, the country's second-largest city, police spokesman Jan Strannegard said.

The package was humming and vibrating suspiciously, so police took no chances and sent out a team of explosives experts.

The following news story is the continuation of a previous story that I had posted about before.

Court overturns $1.5M spanking verdict
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -- An appeals court overturned a $1.5 million verdict awarded to a woman who was spanked in front of co-workers in what her employer called a camaraderie-building exercise.

A jury in 2006 had ruled that Janet Orlando had suffered sexual harassment and sexual battery when she was paddled at home security company Alarm One Inc. The jury punished the company with a $1 million punitive damage award.

But on Monday, a three-judge panel of the state Court of Appeal overturned that verdict, ruling that the jury had been given improper instructions. In particular, the jury wasn't instructed that one vital element of proving that sexual harassment occurred is showing the action was directed at a woman because of her gender.

Dad sells son's 90-dollar video game online for more than 9000

, ,

MONTREAL (AFP) - After catching his 15-year-old smoking pot, a father sold the hard-to-get "Guitar Hero III" video game he bought his son for 90 dollars for Christmas at an online auction, fetching 9,000 dollars.

The sale took place after the father spent two weeks searching for the video game for the Nintendo Wii gameboard.

"So I was so relieved in that I had finally got the Holy Grail of Christmas presents pretty much just in the nick of time. I couldn't wait to spread the jubilance to my son," the father wrote on the eBay website.

"Then, yesterday, I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the back yard with two of his delinquent friends."
