Criminals can run, but they can't hide. Especially if they play World of Warcraft.
Just ask Alfred Hightower. Having successfully left the country to avoid being nabbed for dealing drugs, the fugitive figured he was home free. But thanks to his insistence on keeping up with his World of Warcraft habit, Hightower was tracked down by authorities and is now in custody, reports The Kokomo Perspective.

Stupid Criminal Wraps CES
http://liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/01/11/stupid-criminal-wraps-ces/?test=latestnews
As the North American President of Swann Security Keith Oldridge so properly puts, "What kind of stupid criminal comes to an electronic show and tries to steal from a security company?!"
Well the answer can easily be found on the Swann cameras. It seems it all began when a Swann employee noticed one of their binders full of business cards and leads was missing from the front table of the booth in the Central Hall at the Consumer Electronic Show. At first it was thought someone might be holding it with a client, but quickly it became apparent that the book, potentially worth hundreds of thousands in business, had gone missing and it wasn't due to someone setting it in the wrong spot.
Like any company at CES, Swann had a full set-up of their wares, which in this case turned out to be clear and impeccable security. Employees quickly rewound the DVR which had the cameras monitoring the front table...and voila'! A middle aged Asian man approaches the counter wearing a blue blazer and slacks. He picks up the large binder and flips through as employees are inundated with customers (CES does that to booths) and just when all eyes are on potential sales, he turns and walks away....book in hand.
Swann's cameras capture a clear and colorful picture of the suspect. They pause the pic on the 42" monitor at the front of their display and the hunt for the culprit was on amongst the thousands packing into the CES main and massive hall. Remarkably, the man would be tracked down and quickly deny any involvement. Unfortunately for him, the binder wasn't so small and could easily be seen sticking out of his free cloth bag. Oh...and then there is the thing about those cameras. Yeah, the ones mounted all around the Swann booth in very obvious places. I guess he thought they were for show. In any case, the binder is back, his badge pulled and the crowd at the booth cheered as the men returned with their 'North American Leads Book' in hand.

Teachers' lap dance 'a little too far' for students
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...a-little-too-far-for-students/article1479114/
The kids are calling it “Two Teachers, One Chair,” and it has all the makings of a YouTube hit.
But school administrators and parents are hard pressed to find humour in a graphic lap dance caught on video between two teachers at a spirit rally at Churchill High School in Winnipeg last week.
The two teachers, one of whom was identified by students as phys-ed instructor Chrystie Fitchner, have been sent home without pay after the spirit dance before 100 students as young as 13 years old. The identity of the male teacher could not be confirmed. Efforts to reach Ms. Fitchner Tuesday night were unsuccessful.
The whole routine has since been distributed on the Internet, thanks to the footage captured on a student's cellphone camera. The Winnipeg School Division is investigating.

Woman Charged for Squirting Breast Milk at Deputy
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,588369,00.html?test=latestnews
A Kentucky woman was charged with assault after she allegedly squirted breast milk into the face of a deputy, sparking online debate Sunday in the local media.
Toni Tramel, 31, was arrested Thursday for public intoxication in Owensboro, WYMT-TV reported, but it is what she did next which has attracted headlines.
As Tramel changed into an inmate uniform, she squirted a stream of breast milk into the face of the female deputy watching over her.
A press release from the Daviess County, Kentucky, Detention Center, said that after the deputy decontaminated herself from the "bio-hazard", Tramel was charged with third degree assault.
While the public drunkenness was merely a misdemeanor offense, the assault is a felony charge and a US$10,000 bond was set.
Reports of the case have sparked debates about whether using breast milk as a weapon should constitute a felony assault case, with many readers likening it to an accused person spitting on an officer.
Also sparking feedback has been the use of the term "bio-hazard" to describe breast milk.

Police report attempt to revive flattened opossum
http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/03/26/opossum.drunk/index.html?hpt=T2
A Pennsylvania man attempted to resuscitate "a road-killed opossum," state police say.
But this was one possum who wasn't playing possum -- the ugly creature remained dead.
Troopers responding to the scene in Oliver Township on Thursday determined that Donald J. Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, was drunk, according to the police report.
Several witnesses observed Wolfe's failed resurrection of the flattened marsupial, police said. It was not immediately clear how he endeavored to restore the possum's life.
The arresting officer in the incident was unavailable for comment Friday. Attempts to reach Wolfe were also unsuccessful.
Wolfe will be charged with one charge of public drunkenness, police said.

"I've heard of drive-up robberies where they rob the bank via drive-up windows," said Det. Lt. Michael Gagner of the Fairfield, Connecticut, Police Department. "But I've never had somebody call ahead and say, 'Get the money, we're coming.' "

Massachusetts Policeman Resigns After Leaving Beat to See Midget Porn Star
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/07/2...eaving-beat-midget-porn-star/?test=latestnews
A Massachusetts police officer resigned after leaving his beat to see a dwarf porn star called "Bridget the Midget" and lied about the visit during an investigation into the incident, local media reported Tuesday.
Officer Richard P. Bennett, 28, deserted his late-night patrol to visit a gentleman's club where adult film star Bridget "The Midget" Powers -- billed as "the world's smallest porn star" -- was performing last month.
Bennett was in uniform at the time of his visit to Club Alex's in Stoughton and was reported to authorities by at least five other officers, said Stoughton Police Chief Paul Shastany.
He then reportedly lied about the visit during an internal investigation into the incident, the Patriot Ledger reported.
"Mama told me there would be days like this," Shastany said, on confirming Bennett's resignation. "We are not red-faced. In fact, I am pretty proud [other officers] stepped up."
Bennett, who last month received a commendation for his work in a March murder case, resigned on June 30 rather than face disciplinary action, Shastany said.
