A
man spotted riding a Segway in the wrong direction on a Florida road
is facing a drunk driving charge, according to cops who report that
the suspect admitted drinking nearly two bottles of wine before
piloting the self-balancing vehicle. 48-year-old Andy Sigears was
busted Wednesday after a cop saw him “going head on” into cars on
a road in Davenport, a city about 35 miles south of Orlando. Sigears,
who lives in Davenport, “made multiple spontaneous statements”
about being drunk and being an alcoholic. Cops say Sigears smelled of
booze and showed other signs of intoxication during field sobriety
exercises. Subsequent tests showed Sigears’s breath alcohol level
to be around three times the legal limit. Sigears, who is listed as
retired in court records, was charged with DUI. Florida criminal
statutes classify the Segway as a motor vehicle since it is “operated
on the roads of this state, used to transport persons or property,
and propelled by power other than muscular power.”

Approximately 10-20% of U.S. power outages are caused by squirrels. Harmless and cute as they seem, these fuzzy little creatures aren’t as innocent as you think! Squirrels have a tendency of chewing the wires, but luckily it’s a simple fix.

Police
say a woman who was angered when she was kicked out of a Las
Vegas-area casino intentionally drove her motorhome into the
building, injuring a custodian. North Las Vegas Police spokesman Eric
Leavitt says the 50-year-old woman was ejected from the Cannery
casino Friday morning and drove her Winnebago motorhome into the
building. Leavitt says the woman hit a 66-year-old custodial worker
who was outside the building. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports
the worker was critically injured but is expected to survive. Leavitt
told KVVU-TV that the woman kept hitting the gas and her vehicle was
stuck in the building's entrance. Employees had to remove the woman
to get her to stop. Leavitt says police who were already at the
casino arrested the woman. Her identity was not immediately released.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by SingleStudentLoan.com
A
McDonald’s customer was hit in the face with a blender thrown by an
employee after she went into the Ohio store to complain about an
incorrect order. Britany Price went through the fast-food chain’s
drive-thru in Colerain Township on Sept 22nd. However, when she
received her order – cheeseburgers and Happy Meals – it was
incorrect. According to surveillance footage, Price is seen going
into the store for assistance and waiting nearly twenty-five minutes
to be helped. Eventually, Price goes to her car to get the food and
demand a refund. The situation escalated when Price came back into
the store with the food, which she began throwing at the manager. The
manager retaliated and threw a blender from behind the counter. The
blender struck Price’s face and knocked her to the ground. In the
footage, Price is seen struggling to get up after the blow. Price is
now filing a civil lawsuit against McDonald’s for the assault,
which she said is forcing her to undergo surgery to repair the
shattered cheekbone and broken nose she suffered. In a statement to
Fox News, the McDonald’s location's management confirmed the
employee has been fired. (https://fxn.ws/2MT4E2x)
