A
man in his 50s escaped from a New Zealand Coronavirus quarantine
facility, cutting through a fence to visit a liquor store. Officials
said the man, who arrived from Sydney, Australia on July 1st, cut
through ties in a six-foot fence to break out of a temporary managed
isolation facility in the Distinction Hotel, Hamilton, on New
Zealand's North Island. All people entering New Zealand must stay in
managed isolation or quarantine for at least fourteen days and test
negative for Coronavirus before they are allowed to move around
freely, but several arrivals to the country have so far absconded
from these facilities. In a statement released on Friday, Air
Commodore Darryn Webb, head of managed isolation and quarantine, said
the man, who had so far tested negative twice for coronavirus, was in
police custody and due to appear in court.

Hunting
unicorns is legal in Michigan. Lake Superior State University in
Michigan offers a unicorn hunting license. Unsurprisingly, the "chief
herald of the Unicorn Hunters" was once quoted saying: "The
pursuit of the unicorn is a lonely quest." We wish them nothing
but good luck!

An American couple was fined for defying orders to quarantine in Canada after crossing the border. David and Anne Sippell from Excelsior, Minnesota were told to drive directly to their destination and self-isolate for two weeks when they arrived June 24th through Fort Frances, Ontario. But 66-year-old David and 65-year-old Anne were allegedly seen flouting the rules in various destinations around the border town. They were charged with failure to comply with an order or subjecting to any condition the entry into Canada, under the Quarantine Act. Each was hit with a fine of $1,000 Canadian dollars — or about $738 USD — for not complying with the self-quarantine orders. According to the latest figures, Canada has recorded more than 107,000 coronavirus cases, including 8,732 deaths. (https://bit.ly/2ZFWpfl)
MOMENT
OF DUH: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com
A
driver who led authorities on a 100-mph chase drove off a cliff and
into the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday in Santa Cruz, California. The
chase started about 3:30 p.m. near Davenport when sheriff's deputies
responding to a report of a man firing a handgun in the air came
across a suspect who had just carjacked someone. Deputies gave chase
as the motorist headed south toward Santa Cruz at speeds of more than
100 mph. Deputies called off the pursuit as they neared the city over
safety concerns for bystanders. The suspect kept driving and ended up
in the Pacific Ocean less than a mile west of the city's famed beach
Steamer Lane. The department, whose officers responded to the beach,
said the man got out of the vehicle and ended up on dry land. “The
suspect was safely taken into custody after climbing out of the
stolen vehicle, as he stumbled up the rocky shoreline,” the
department said. (https://nbcnews.to/3gBLASC)
