A man brandished a gun and threatened a person playing the Easter Bunny who was waving to motorists from an interstate overpass in Ohio. A 49-year-old man was arrested Wednesday afternoon in Middlebourne. He was given a breath-alcohol test at an Ohio State Highway Patrol post but was taken to a medical facility when jail officials refused to book him because of an elevated temperature, leading to concerns he might be infected with the Coronavirus. Guernsey County Sgt. Jason Best on Friday said the man could face charges of aggravated menacing and improper handling of a firearm in a vehicle. Deputies found the suspect and another man sitting inside a camouflage-painted pickup truck parked at the edge of a field shortly after receiving a call about the Easter Bunny threat. A .22-caliber handgun and an open 12-pack of beer were seized as evidence. Deputies said the man slurred his words and smelled of alcohol. (https://bit.ly/2RAiQPY)

There may be 2,000 active serial killers in the U.S. right now. Thomas Hargrove has been archiving homicides for years through his Murder Accountability Project. Through his experience, he came up with an algorithm that found patterns in recent unsolved murders linked to at least one other murder through DNA. This allowed him to estimate the number of unsolved cases in the U.S. at any given time. According to the New Yorker, he believes that the number of active serial killers in the U.S. is around 2,000.

An
Italian woman who took her pizza-sized turtle out for a walk has been
fined 400 euros by the Roman police for breaking strict Coronavirus
confinement rules. Italians need a justifiable reason to be out on
the street in the middle of a pandemic that has officially claimed
more than 20,000 lives in the Mediterranean country since February.
Taking your dog out for a walk is viewed as a good enough reason to
leave your home. But it seems taking your turtle out for one is not.
The Roman police said “the 60-year-old woman was caught outside her
home without a justifiable reason” and fined. “The woman was
walking with a turtle,” the police statement said. Roman police
spokesman Nunzio Carbone told AFP that the woman was fined 400 euros
because it was “not a justifiable excuse.”

A British police department posted a reminder on Twitter not to call the emergency number to report a neighbor for snoring. The Essex Police's communications officer tweeted that a call came in Sunday to the department's 999 emergency number reporting that the caller could hear someone snoring loudly. "An unusual 999 call at this time of the day, caller reporting they can hear someone snoring. Advice was given to them and snoring is never a reason to call 999, no matter how annoying it is,” the officer tweeted. The tweet used the hashtag “#emergenciesonly,” reminding the public that the 999 number is only for reporting emergency situations. (https://bit.ly/2VqD7sk)
