A
Pocatello man faces a felony charge for allegedly kicking an officer
during an arrest. 27-year-old Justin Matthew Espinoza also faces
misdemeanor charges for driving under the influence and resisting
arrest. Officers witnessed Espinoza, the driver of a Nissan Altima,
take the turn from Burnside Avenue onto Yellowstone Avenue. He turned
wide, police reports read, crossing into the left lane. Officers also
noted that the Altima’s headlights were not on. After pulling him
over, officers requested Espinoza’s license and registration.
Espinoza opened his wallet and removed his credit card before putting
it back and closing his wallet. Reports also show he was unable to
find his insurance card and registration. During his interaction with
police, Espinoza was noted as having bloodshot and glossy eyes. He
also slurred his speech and struggled to keep his balance. Espinoza
was pulled out of his vehicle, after declining get out on his own.
After striking his head against the inside of the patrol vehicle,
Espinoza was taken out of the backseat and proceeded to yell at and

FACT FOR YOU:

Sweat
doesn't actually stink. You might notice that any sweat you produce
right after a shower doesn't smell so bad. That's because your sweat
itself isn't stinky; it's the bacteria on your skin that breaks the
sweat down that causes the odor. Additionally, you'll find that the
sweat on your arms and legs doesn't smell as much as your armpits.
That's because sweat glands in your armpits secrete more protein into
a dark, damp environment—the perfect place and food for bacteria.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A guest at Walt Disney World was filmed hopping on and off an attraction over the weekend, allegedly in pursuit of a cucumber. The incident took place on the “Living With the Land” attraction at Epcot, which is described as a “gentle boat tour” of Disney World’s experimental greenhouses and agricultural areas. In the footage, which was initially posted to TikTok, a woman can be seen jumping off the boat, reaching for something from one of the vines, and then stumbling — and falling — as she attempts to return to the ride vehicle. Guests are not permitted to stand up or exit the attraction. As seen in both the original video and the re-uploaded version, on-screen messages appear to indicate that the woman was attempting to steal a cucumber growing from one of the vines. Viewers are now describing the woman’s actions as dangerous and “completely inappropriate.” A representative for Disney World was not available to comment on the incident. (https://bit.ly/3gLHSZj)
MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by BetterResultsAdvertising.com
A
California man accused of swiping a ring-tailed lemur from the San
Francisco Zoo and Gardens could spend up to one year behind bars
should he be found guilty of the crime. Cory McGilloway made his
initial appearance in federal court Monday on a charge of violating
the Endangered Species Act. If convicted, he faces up to a year in
jail and up to $50,000 in fines. Prosecutors have alleged that
McGilloway, a 31-year-old from Los Angeles, sneaked into the zoo’s
Lipman Family Lemur Forest on Oct. 13, 2020. He allegedly left with
one of the zoo’s four lemurs, named Maki, who was reported missing
the next morning. A quick investigation uncovered evidence of forced
entry into the enclosure, sparking a frantic search for the missing
critter, which zoo officials described as “highly endangered” and
requiring “special care.” Authorities also offered a $2,100
reward for information leading to Maki’s safe return. Just two days
later, a woman recorded a video of a man, who authorities now believe
to be McGilloway, walking a lemur on a leash on Treasure Island,
about two miles off San Francisco’s mainland shore. With help from
San Francisco Animal Care and Control, Maki was recaptured and
returned to the zoo. (https://bit.ly/3h0EatB)
