An Ohio man was arrested after Akron police said he caused damage inside a Subway restaurant, made his own sandwich, and pocketed a block of cheese – all while intoxicated. According to WJW-TV, 44-year-old Don Peters is facing charges of disorderly conduct, violating the open-container law, and criminal damaging in connection with the incident, which took place shortly before 1:00 p.m. Saturday at the restaurant. Subway employees alleged that Peters, who appeared to be drunk, walked into the restaurant and ordered employees to make him something to eat. Peters then took matters into his own hands, damaging plexiglass before going behind the restaurant counter and making a sandwich. Officers responded to the scene and arrested Peters, who was carrying Subway cheese and a vodka bottle in his pockets. (https://bit.ly/3e4dgO8)

We’ve all dropped that freshly buttered piece of golden brown toast on the floor, yes? And many of us have contemplated whether or not to just pick it up and eat it. That’s why there’s the Five Second Rule, the completely unscientific belief that food left on the floor for less than five seconds is sufficiently ick-free. But scientists (at Clemson) “found that bacteria was transferred from tabletops and floors to the food within five seconds — that is the five second rule is not an accurate guide when it comes to eating food that has fallen on the floor.”

A domestic dispute over toilet paper turned violent and resulted in the bust of a Florida woman for allegedly battering her boyfriend. According to an arrest report, 25-year-old Celesierra Thomas “left scratch marks” on the victim’s shoulder “when they were arguing over toilet paper in their residence” late Monday evening. The report does not offer further details of the toilet paper discord. Thomas and the victim share a St. Petersburg home and are parents of a baby boy. Noting that the victim had “visible scratches” on his shoulder, cops arrested Thomas for misdemeanor domestic battery. Thomas, who works as a barista, has been ordered by a judge to have no contact with her boyfriend. Thomas was arrested in September for allegedly scratching the same victim “to prevent him from calling the police” during an argument. (https://bit.ly/2ZfJpye)
