A couple who met on a Virgin Atlantic jet traveling from London to Cancun were caught in the bathroom joining the mile-high club. Stunned passengers had watched as the seemingly drunk woman began chatting up her fellow flyer moments after they boarded the Boeing 747 at Gatwick airport in London. After sharing a kiss, the pair darted into the economy cabin bathroom halfway through the 11-hour flight to Cancun. Soon, three stewardesses were banging on the door demanding they come out. The crew opened the bathroom door and found the man standing with his pants down and the woman sitting on the toilet seat. After returning to her seat, the woman was involved in a fight with a female pal and was accused of throwing drinks around the cabin. The pilot radioed ahead for cops to meet the flight when it landed in Mexico. Officers boarded and marched the woman off with her bags. Virgin Atlantic told The Sun they have now banned the woman from all future flights.

A northern Indiana man faces child pornography charges, which stem from an investigation that started with allegations that he tried to blow up his neighbor's car. Police in LaPorte, Indiana initially arrested Eric Weiler after his neighbors’ car was wired to explode. He reportedly disconnected wires from a light in the car and ran them into the gas tank which could have caused the vehicle to explode. In the course of the arrest, bomb making materials were discovered. Officers also seized computers, hard drives, cameras, and cellphones. It took months for federal investigators to gather evidence on the suspect's computers.
A search of a fraction of these devices revealed 24,000 images of suspected child pornography and over 80 videos of child pornography. Weiler is now charged with possession and production of child pornography and faces additional state charges of molesting a child and attempted murder.

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
In Richardson, Texas, 32-year-old Ryan McFaul was arrested after being identified as the man who shot at a church’s windows with a BB gun because he was angry at a driver who had cut him off. McFaul was identified after police reviewed the Church’s security footage. He reportedly admitted that after he was cut off by another driver in the church parking lot he became irate. He then took out his BB gun and began shooting at the church’s windows out of pure anger. Pellets from the BB gun broke through the outer pane of the double-pane windows but did not reach the inside of the building. In his confession, McFaul told police he wasn’t trying to hurt anyone, just trying to cause damage to church property.
