A Springfield, Illinois man is facing charges after allegedly destroying a home and running from police officers. Springfield Police say they initially responded around midnight on Monday. They found that a silver Ford Escape had crashed into a home, making it unlivable. The suspect, 31-year-old Alfonzo Brown, fled the scene and was later found wearing only underwear, a white tank top, and black boots. Officers say he smelled of alcohol. Brown was reportedly kicking and spitting at the officer, and even tried to bite one. Brown was arrested for DUI. A clear plastic bag was later found inside the vehicle Brown was driving. Four pills inside the bag field-tested positive for suspected ecstasy. After bringing Brown to the Sangamon County Jail, police say he threw his underwear at an officer, hitting him in the duty belt.

FUN FACT FOR YOU:Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!

America accidentally dropped an atom bomb on South Carolina in 1958. In March 1958, a B-47 plane was headed to the United Kingdom and was armed with an atomic bomb. This bomb was even bigger than the "Fat Boy," the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki. During the flight, the pilots noticed a fault light, so one of them decided to check it out. In doing so, he accidentally released the emergency pin, watching in horror as the bomb dropped to the ground. The good news was, the critical part of the bomb needed to set it off was still on the plane, so it never exploded.

In tough economic times, nothing beats free. So, when a man from the Portland metro area heard Wendy's was giving away free four-piece chicken nuggets, he was sure to take advantage of it. The man, who goes by “Skweezy,” went to eleven Wendy's restaurants in the greater Portland and Vancouver area - twice. Skweezy had employees put the nuggets into a frying pan that he drove around with, so he could practice social distancing and do his best to stay six feet away from them. His efforts to hit up so many Wendy's even earned him a shout-out from the company on Twitter. Skweezy tweeted that he had to “hustle” to hit “every damn Wendy’s and that it took five hours. Wendy’s tweeted “That’s straight up impressive, not gonna lie.” (https://bit.ly/2STuR3J)
