According to Investigators, a Texas woman is facing an assault charge after allegedly biting off and swallowing a large chunk of the nose of a female victim. 41-year-old Jessica Collins was arrested Thursday for the bloody attack in Spring, a Houston suburb. Collins was staying with a female neighbor of the 28-year-old victim. After spending Wednesday evening at a local bar, the three women returned to the victim’s home, where Collins--seeking to keep the party going--asked her host for booze and cigarettes. Instead, the victim asked Collins to leave her residence, a request that allegedly prompted Collins to attack the woman. After yanking the victim to the floor by her hair, Collins allegedly bit off a large piece from the bridge of the woman’s nose. (https://goo.gl/fcNFep)

In England, a Devon & Cornwall Police officer expressed his shock after seeing pictures of a car which had a bucket for a seat and required the motorist to use a pair of pliers to steer it. Norfolk and Suffolk's Road and Policing Firearms Operation Unit tweeted out a picture of the badly damaged car, which was also missing a bumper and headlights and had a flat tire. The force posted an image of the car in the early hours of Friday morning, and wrote: “Yes, this was driven on a road and yes, he was sitting on a bucket and steering with a pair of mole grips.” PC Jon Parker from Norfolk Police retweeted the post with the comment: “I think this is the most unroadworthy car I've ever seen. Ridiculous that it was driven on a public road in this condition.” (https://goo.gl/qyWCKD)

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
Arizona authorities say a 44-year-old uniformed security guard is accused of impersonating a police officer by trying to pull over an unmarked car that happened to contain two state troopers patrolling a Phoenix freeway. The Department of Public Safety says Matthew Allen Disbro of Mesa was driving his personal black Dodge Charger on Wednesday when he activated law-enforcement-style emergency lights on his car to pull over the troopers' yellow Ford Mustang. According to the department, the troopers wouldn't pull over. Disbro then drove alongside, yelled, and waved a hand at the troopers to get them to pull over before they activated their own vehicle's police lights and pulled him over. (https://goo.gl/ckhKwy)
