Naked Man In A Seattle Lake Eludes Police For 2 Hours (Video)

The Hunt for Red October…  Well Not Exactly.

The Seattle Post Intelligencer reported on Tuesday that Seattle police found themselves in a very strange pursuit for over 2 hours trying to catch a naked man swimming in the city’s Green Lake.  This “slippery suspect” who has yet to be identified allegedly tackled two teens, 16-year-old girl and her brother Daniel Gonzalez, 19, breaking Gonzalez’s finger, before undressing and jumping into Green Lake.  Seattle police officers stated that the suspect claimed to be a Travis Cunningham, age 32.  No records have been found under that name.

After around an hour of swimming and evading police boats, the suspect took the police up on an offer of a life jacket.  At one point during the daring attempted escape the man swam to an Island called “Duck Island” where he continued to evade police officers in a thicket of prickly blackberry bushes.

One of the victims, Daniel Gonzalez, who was attacked by the suspect, stated that “He pretty much just attacked me from behind.  I didn’t even see it coming”.  A witness of this entire ordeal, Betty Atkinson said the alleged attack was surprise.  “The guy came out of the trees like a football linebacker.  There was no warning whatsoever”.  Before the police got to the scene of the crime concerned citizens chased the man around the lake with no success.  It was when the police arrived when the man undressed and jumped into the lake.  There is currently no information available regarding any charges the suspect maybe facing.

Woman Blames Medication For Shoplifting

Woman Blames Medication For Shoplifting

“My name is Winona Ryder and I approve this message”

Fort Walton Beach- A woman in Fort Walton Beach stated that her medication was the reason she stole the fake eyelashes that police found in her purse. A Florida police deputy was called to a Walmart on Aug. 26 about an apparent shoplifting incident.  The deputy that was called to the Walmart was told that the woman took a package of fake eyelashes that were valued at approximately $10.  It was reported that she put them into her purse before leaving the Walmart without paying for them.

The woman told the Florida police officer that “I’m on medication and I stole some eyelashes”.  After hearing this, the deputy immediately read the woman her Miranda Rights and charged her with larceny.  History shows that the medication defense that the woman is using has actually worked in the past.  Actress Winona Ryder was charged with shoplifting and possession of a controlled substance back in December 2001.  Winona Ryder’s attorney contended that the actress was using medication because of the stress her film career caused her, and the medication caused her to steal.  Only time will tell if this woman in Florida uses the “Winona Ryder Defense” and gets away with shoplifting.

Man Steals Phone from Ebola Patient and Gets Infected

Man Steals Phone from Ebola Patient and Gets Infected

Don’t commit the crime, if you don’t want a painful deadly virus.

Medical and security officials in Uganda have reported that a man allegedly went into an isolation ward at a Uganda hospital and stole a cellular phone from an Ebola patient.  The unidentified, 40-year-old thief journeyed three kilometers to the hospital and stole a phone that was worth $20.  It has been reported that the suspect broke into the Ebola isolation ward unnoticed by hospital guards.  The patient that he stole the phone from has since surrendered to the deadly hemorrhagic fever known as Ebola, but reported the phone missing right before he died.

Detectives pursued the thief after he had made several phone calls to friends telling them that he was showing signs and symptoms of Ebola.  He then checked himself into the same hospital he stole the phone from and confessed his crime to the police.  Doctors are currently treating him for the Ebola virus.  According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the Ebola virus which causes Ebola hemorrhagic fever is an infectious disease that consists of painful symptoms like: Rash, vomiting, diarrhea, and severe bleeding from every orifice of the human body.  It is safe to say that the crime was not worth the virus.

Man Arrested For Having Sex With Teddy Bear For Fourth Time

Man Arrested For Having Sex With Teddy Bear For Fourth Time

Bear-ly legal— A Cincinnati man was arrested for the fourth time in the past two years for having sex with a teddy bear in public.  Charles Marshall, 28, was arrested Wednesday evening after some employees at a health clinic noticed that he was masturbating with a teddy bear in a nearby alleyway.  This is the fourth time that police have caught Marshall having sexual relations with a teddy bear since 2010.

In this most recent incident with his teddy bear Marshall received a citation for disorderly conduct.  The Municipal Court has records showing that Marshall has already been convicted on three different occasions for engaging in disorderly conduct in public with a teddy bear.  This most recent incident has resulted in a small fine and short jail sentence for Marshall.

Charles Marshall was first caught in February 2010 after some individuals at a public library called the police after witnessing Marshall masturbating with a stuffed animal in the public library men’s restroom.  This 2010 arrest encouraged a judge to order Marshall to “stay away all public libraries”.  He was arrested for a second time in November 2010 and again in August 2011 for “masturbating using a teddy bear in a public place where minors were likely to be present.”  It is uncertain whether or not he used the same teddy bear on each separate incident.  People who are aroused by teddy bear are usually diagnosed with a disorder called Ursusagalmatophilia.  This disorder which is also known as Plushophilia includes any stuffed animal, not just teddy bears.
