Police
in Newnan, Georgia have opened an investigation after a video game
collector who bought a stash of retro Nintendo games at a flea market
discovered two of the cartridges were filled with packages of drugs.
Julian Turner of Newnan posted a video to YouTube showing him
examining his day's flea market haul, which included multiple
Nintendo Entertainment System games from the 1980s. Turner said his
interest was piqued when he noticed one of the cartridges,
Rollergames, was the European/Australian PAL release. He said the
game, and a copy of Golf, were also found to weigh about 50 percent
more than they should have. Turner opened the two cartridges and
discovered they contained small packages of what appeared to be
narcotics. Detectives believe that the packages appear to have been
inside the cartridges for a very long time before they ended up at
the market.

46-year-old
Jonathan Boettcher of Florida was arrested after he was found in a
Publix parking lot kicking trash cans, jumping on cars, and punching
cars while screaming “I only had one beer!” According to the
arrest report, Boettcher was found swinging his arms and yelling
while wearing no shirt and no underwear, but with basketball shorts
around his ankles. The deputy said Boettcher was sweating
uncontrollably as he yelled “I only had one beer!” and “I only
wanted to smoke some pot.” Boettcher explained that he'd drank beer
and smoked part of a marijuana joint in the homeless camp behind
Publix. As for dropping his pants, he claimed to be responding to a
friend who was mooning him. A judge sentenced him to 45 days in
county jail.

Experts
(Columbia University) say bathing every day could increase people's
risk of infections. Showering excessively can reduce skin hydration,
causing it to become dry and cracked, which allows germs to enter.
Most people bathe in the belief it will reduce their risk of illness,
however, it actually does little more than remove body odor. Washing
strips the skin of its natural oils, which can disrupt 'good'
bacteria that supports people's immune systems. Bathing just once or
twice a week is usually sufficient for most.
The major credit card networks — including American Express, Visa, Discover and Mastercard — will no longer require signatures on transactions in the U.S. beginning this month. Retailers can still require signatures if they so choose, though some have already stopped the practice of asking shoppers to sign for their items when a purchase is under a certain amount.Here are answers to questions you might have about the change and what it means for you. You may still need to sign for purchases on occasion, and in fact, it’s up to retailers whether they want to continue requiring signatures on transactions. Big retailers like Target and Walmart have said that they plan to stop requiring signatures — and in some cases have already done so. Smaller retailers may take longer to adopt the change; as well, some payment systems require signatures to complete a transaction and will have to be reconfigured. And you might have to sign for meals at most restaurants, with the exception of a few large restaurant chains, such as Applebee’s, Red Robin, Chili’s and Olive Garden, which are using pay-at-table technology.https://www.wbir.com/mobile

They
called 911 to report a tiger in New York City, but that wasn’t
quite right
A New Yorker’s daily exposure to the animal kingdom consists of
mainly pigeons and rats, so perhaps a mistake like Thursday’s can
be forgiven. It was just before 8 a.m. when police said several
callers to 911 reported spotting a tiger in the street near West 162
Street and St. Nicholas Avenue in the Washington Heights
neighborhood. The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit was called but the
animal that police safely caught turned out to be a large raccoon.
Animal Care Centers of New York City took custody of the raccoon from
the NYPD and put it down. The law requires it. “The
raccoon was brought into our facility and was euthanized as required
by law for all vector species animals brought into the shelter,”
ACC said in a statement. “Raccoons, bats and skunks are classified
as a rabies vector species, which means it's an animal that can carry
and transmit
rabies.”https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/called-911-report-tiger-york-city-wasnt/story?id=54422500&__twitter_impression=true

75-year-old
Joseph Kurimay of Central Minnesota is accused of damaging more than
100 vehicles by spreading nails on the road outside of his house to
punish speeding drivers. According to the criminal complaint, the
investigation began when a woman reported to police that a nail
punctured her tire. When she brought her car to a repair shop,
employees said they had seen many tires damaged by nails recently.
Police spoke to the shop employees, who said they had repaired dozens
of flat tires with the exact same nail, 1.5 inch steel cap mason
nails, in the past few months. An officer went to a home improvement
store to track purchases of that specific nail. Surveillance video
and purchase records showed an older male purchasing the nails four
times. Police tracked one of the purchases to a credit card in
Kurimay’s name. Kurimay reported speeding vehicles outside his home
to police earlier in the year. He decided to punish speeding drivers
by putting these nails down on the road. If convicted, Kurimay could
face five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
A
wild car crash in Westland, Michigan involving at least five vehicles
ended with a man getting out of his car, taking off his clothes, and
dancing. Police said a pickup truck came barreling down Wayne Road
and plowed into vehicles. After the crash, the driver got out of the
pickup truck and got naked. Officials elaborated, stating that the
man stripped all his clothes off and started dancing in the street.
One witness said that when police arrived the man was shouting, “I’m
fine, I’m fine!” He eventually tried to run away but the cops
nabbed him, put him in handcuffs, and took him away. The driver is
still in custody as police try to determine why he was acting so
erratically.
