Woman allegedly hits guard with baby


A 26-year-old woman of Tennessee is being charged with child abuse and assault after she used her friend's baby to assault a security guard at Wal-Mart. Camilla Fields was holding the 2-month-old boy in a car seat when she swung it at the guard.

Fields was hiding in the bathroom pretending to change the baby's diaper when she was actually hiding some clothes she stole. The security guard confronted her, and then she hit the guard with the seat (with the baby inside) causing the drop from her hands. She picked the seat up and ran out of the store as the guard was chasing her, and she hit him again with the seat and then it fell to the ground landing with the baby's face down. She ran and left the baby behind who was now unconscious.

The baby was taken to the hospital is not seriously injured. Fields turned herself in later. The baby's mother, Stacey Cleaves, was outside during the incident. When police questioned her, she gave false information, and she's being charged with that at child neglect. She said Fields' name was Darrin and that Fields was the baby's aunt.

Next recalls underwear after complaints over 'Hitler image'


Next is a store in the U.K. much like the GAP, Banana Republic, or H&M. But when a customer bought a pair of underwear he looked at the graphics on it resembling a comic strip and saw an image that looked like Hitler saluting as planes passed above his head.

Next said the image was inspired by a picture of Lenin, the former Soviet Leader.

Next is pulling the 5,200 remaining pairs off their shelves. They should've thought about this before putting their product on the shelves in a country that was bombed by Hitler (even if the image wasn't him).

Couple throwing rocks off I-5 played stripping game


A State Trooper pilot was flying a helicopter looking for speeders and drunk drivers, when he spotted two people with his heat-detecting camera on an overpass. It looked like they were dropping rocks on cars passing underneath them.

The two were on a railroad trestle that runs right above Interstate 5. Apparently, authorities say the two people were playing a stipping game.

When the cops caught them, they found an 18-year-old woman half naked. Both her and her play mate, a 23-year-old male, are felony charges for malicious mischief and second-degree assault for hitting as many as 14 vehicles with rocks.

Woman accused of having sex with boy in Wal-Mart parking lot


A 30-year-old Northern California mother, Deborah Towe, is accused of having sex with at least three underage boys who were 15 to 16. There are 11 felony charges against her, but as always she pleaded not guilty.

She was ratted out by her daughter's friends. Two of her friends told their middle school vice principal that the mother of one of their friends was having sex with boys.

During the investigation, one boy admitted to having sex with Towe in the back seat of her car at a Wal-Mart parking lot, and she gave him alcohol. Another boy said that he had sex with Towe as well, and that she sent him sexually suggestive text messages and a photo to his cell. Later, they eventually had sex in her car at an elementary school parking lot. The third boy didn't admit to having sex with her, but he did admit to kissing and touching intimately in her house.

So, what was her reasoning behind all this madness? She enjoyed the attention she got from the boys and she wanted to protect her daughter from their affections.

Suicidal man pushed from bridge by onlooker


Chen Fuchao was pondering whether or not he should commit suicide by throwing himself off the Haizhu Bridge in the southern Chinese city Guangzhou. He had accumulated about 2 million yuan ($290,000) in debt.

While he was thinking, Lai Jiansheng, an onlooker went up to him, shook his hand, and pushed him off the bridge!

Fuchao ended up landing on an inflatable emergency air cushion that authorities laid out earlier. He sustained injuries to his spine and elbow, but otherwise he's ok. The 66-year-old Jiansheng said
I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest. They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.
If you ever contemplate this, make sure there are no angry onlookers or they might make the decision for you.
