A man in northern Mexico had to be rescued after he accidentally trapped himself in a hole that he dug so he could spy on his former girlfriend in violation of a court order to stay away from her. The Sonora state attorney general’s office said the 50-year-old man had spent days digging the hole in Puerto Penasco, a town on the Gulf of California, only to become trapped and require assistance to get out. The man had been ordered to stay away from his former girlfriend due to domestic violence charges and he is now in jail. The newspaper El Universal said the man dug a tunnel under the woman’s house. It said the woman told police that over the course of a week, she had heard scratching noises but assumed the noise was cats. But when the sound grew louder, she investigated and found her former partner of fourteen years trapped below. She said she ended the relationship because her partner was very jealous. Police said the man appeared intoxicated and severely dehydrated once they got him out of the tunnel. (https://nyp.st/2DzCdBJ)

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
When Eagles Flirt, They Also Flirt With Death. Courtship between eagles can be rather death-defying. As New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation puts it, “The pair soars high in the sky, begins a dive, and interlocks talons while descending in a series of somersaults.” But it usually all works out, with the two producing one or two offspring each year.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A Canadian woman was arrested after allegedly shattering a door at a coffee shop because the business did not have any doughnuts. According to a Kingston police news release, a woman entered a downtown coffee shop on April 22nd around 4:15 a.m. and began to cause a disturbance. Police said that she then became enraged that no doughnuts had been made by 4:00 a.m. The woman reportedly shouted at staff and then exited the store by allegedly kicking open the glass door, causing it to shatter. Police say she then fled the area. Although police arrived shortly after, they were unable to find the woman, however a security camera captured the alleged incident. Then, on May 2nd around 5:30 a.m., employees at the same coffee shop called police, saying the woman had returned. The 30-year-old woman was arrested and charged with mischief under $5,000 and breach of probation. (https://bit.ly/3052mCa)

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by FunkyMonkeyShirts.com

Police said that cops in Florida found a woman with a baby alligator hidden in her yoga pants and dozens of tiny turtles in her purse when she was pulled over with a man in a pick-up truck Monday. Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office deputies stopped the vehicle at around 3:00 a.m. after it blew through a stop sign. The man and woman inside said they’d been trying to collect frogs and snakes from a nearby underpass. The deputy asked to see what they’d collected, to make sure they didn’t have any species they weren’t supposed to have — and the 25-year-old woman opened her purse to reveal forty-one small turtles. She then pulled a foot-long alligator out of her yoga pants. The turtles and American alligator are regulated so the driver and his gal pal were cited for having them. The reptiles were seized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and then released, the outlet reported. (https://nyp.st/2H7epY5)
