A convenience store clerk in Fort Smith, Ark. gave $40 from his own pocket to a robber who told him he needed money to buy insulin. According to the clerk, the robber accepted the money, thanked him and shook his hand. Police are still searching for the robber.

An 81-year-old Ohio man thought he was helping the city prepare a pothole for repair by chipping away loose material with a pickaxe. Police, however, didn't think so, and charged James Stacey with criminal damaging. Stacy said he cleared the 3-foot-wide hole because he expected a crew to patch it and wanted the patch to last longer. The public works manager replied that Stacey’s "help" actually created a greater safety hazard.

Lapdogs Chiquita the Chihuahua and Rosie the Border Terrier reportedly chased off a cougar that strayed into a small town in Oregon. The cougar had pinned down Rosie, who squealed, but Chiquita caused the big cat to flee by barking ferociously. Both dogs are said to be doing fine. The cougar, however, is probably somewhere hiding from embarrassment.

WHAT ABOUT PEEING IN PUBLIC???????????????????????????

Much like the park John Hamilton wanted to cut, city officials say the story about his arrest has grown out of control.


Register photo/LUKE WARK John Hamilton of Sandusky maneuvers the lawnmower he was arrested on Thursday morning around the yard of his business Friday afternoon. Sunday, the city of Sandusky accused the news media of sensationalism and said it would support the dropping of charges against Hamilton.

In a news release Saturday afternoon, city officials accused the news media of "sensationalism in journalism" and said they would support the dropping of the charges against Hamilton.

The news release also said the city respects Hamilton's "unbridled enthusiasm" for volunteering and urged him to lead the charge in getting others to volunteer as well.

It's things like this that makes you go HUmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

My son and some friends just recently moved into a house together they were still in the process of cleaning the inside and painting ect. The house belonged to one of the boys relatives and no one had lived there in a while. Less then a week later the city gives them a warning for the grass. Then comes back in like 2-3 days and gives them a ticket.

Humm they were in the process at that time trying to get the backyard cleaned up brush ect...

I tell ya one thing when the shoe is on the other foot they sure don't mind handing out tickets. Funny when it is their grass who gives them the tickets?

SANDUSKY, Ohio – An Ohio man arrested for mowing unkempt grass at a public park said he just wanted to make his city look nice. John Hamilton said he took control of the situation because the grass in Sandusky's Central Park was about a foot high. According to a police report, a witness said Hamilton was blowing grass onto the sidewalk and shredding trash in the park that had not been picked up.

Police said they arrested 48-year-old Hamilton after he refused to stop mowing and charged him with obstructing official business and disorderly conduct.

City Manager Matt Kline called the arrest unfortunate and said he understands Hamilton's frustration. Kline said budget cuts have left Sandusky understaffed for seasonal maintenance work.

Hey, the man willing to do it that saves the taxpayer money. Goverment has nothin better to do.

I'm glad the police are retracting the arrest...but IMO...he shouldn't have been arrested any way

If you live in Sandusky only mow your own yard

Ops, the cops got me for nicking the corner grass on the city sidewalk Whoa, the police showed up quicker than when I locked myself out of my car. If the city is broke we will equip the police cars with lawmowing equipmemnt. Cops do drive on city park lawn to chase teenagers back to school.
