East Hampton neighbors are angry with investment banker Marc Spilker and
his wife, Diane, for allowing a wild party for their teenage daughter Carly that ended up with the arrest of one over-served guest. 19-year-old Conor Harkins was found unconscious on a neighbor’s lawn at 6:30 a.m. Saturday after he broke a front gate, then the front door, and left a trail of blood in the house. The current homeowners weren’t home at the time. Medics revived Harkins, a student at Hamilton College, with Narcan, the drug used to combat opioid overdoses. Police charged him with two felonies, burglary and criminal mischief. (https://goo.gl/L5J1NY)

Researchers
uncovered a startling statistic about mothers of twins: they seldom
get the recommended full night’s sleep. Hard to believe, right? The
researchers found the mothers of twins sleep an average of 5.4 hours
in a 24-hour period, rather than the recommended 7-8 hours. In
addition, almost half of the mothers reported mild to severe symptoms
of depression.

A
Corpus Christi, Texas man was bitten by a rattlesnake after he
already beheaded the snake. Jennifer Sutcliffe and her husband were
doing weekend yard work when she spotted a 4-foot rattlesnake.
Sutcliffe says her husband quickly took his shovel and cut off the
snake's head. Moments later, he bent down to dispose of the snake and
that's when the head bit him. Sutcliffe called 911 and began driving
her husband towards the hospital. But. he started having seizures,
lost his visions and began bleeding internally. She couldn't get to
the hospital quickly enough, so she met up with an ambulance. She
said the first 24 hours were the worst. Doctors told her her husband
might not make it, even after giving him huge amounts of anti-venom.
"A normal person who is going to get bit is going to get two to
four doses of anti-venom, he had to have 26 doses," Sutcliffe
said. He is now in stable condition, but his kidney function is still
poor. Dr. Michael Halpert, a trauma surgeon at Christus Spohn
Shoreline Hospital, said although dying from a snakebite is rare, it
happens. "There is about 6,000 to 8,000 snakes bites per year in
the country and 10 or 12 people die," said Halpert. Halpert said
in the event you get bitten by a snake, you should keep calm, keep
the bitten area above heart level and get to the nearest emergency
room.

A
Minnesota man is facing twenty-two new criminal charges in Wisconsin
in connection with what authorities say was a scam in which senior
citizens paid for snow removal services that were never delivered.
Matthew D. Erickson is accused of selling pre-paid snow removal
services and never providing those services. Some of the theft
charges rise to felony status because of a provision in state law
known as an elder abuse enhancer that applies in some cases where
victims are 60 years or older. The Better Business Bureau began
investigating Erickson and his company, Snow Angels, in January after
receiving two complaints of pre-paid snow removal services that were
never completed. (https://goo.gl/iYUx9t)
