Rhode Island Man Forced to Demolish His Maggoty, Rotting Clam Road


"It's like bodies decaying."

I've never been to Rhode Island, but a heap of rotting clam shells causing a domestic disturbance sounds like a distinctly Rhode Island problem.
In the first week of June, a Tiverton man "dumped thousands of unwashed clam shells on his property" to pave an access road. The overwhelming stench of dead mollusks was so foul, police and the state's Department of Environmental Management (DEM) were asked to investigate the source.
According to WJAR-TV, the property owner, David Rose, used shells that still had meat left on them. Normally, oyster and clam shells are a sustainable landscaping alternative. Instead of dumping them, you can actually recycle the shells for construction or environmental projects.



It's possible Rose had good intentions, but didn't think about the consequences of raw meat in blazing temperatures.
"Some parts still has the meat, so now it's decaying. It's like bodies decaying. So, you've got about a million bodies decaying," said neighbor Sharon Moore.
"Everything is sort of taken over by this stench of decaying," Blair Moore added.
Local residents circulated a petition, and after two weeks, Rose was served a cease-and-desist letter by Rhode Island's DEM. He now has one week to remove the shells, which are infested with maggots. This morning, WJAR-TV reported that Atlantic Cape Fisheries tractors, belonging to the company that originally dumped the shells, were digging up the fetid mess.



Poor newscaster, Lindsay Iadeluca, was live from the scene where tractor loaders were literally dripping with larvae. She pointed to her longsleeves and long pants—unusual summer attire—which she wore to defend herself from bug bites, due to the swarming mass of insects. Claps for Lindsay, everyone.
As for the shells, Rose has been ordered to drop them off at a licensed waste facility. No word yet on how long the air will take to clear.

No free transport to watch 'Walker, Texas Ranger': Forest Grove police log

Not every police agency provides a log of its responses, and few do it with the finesse of the Forest Grove Police Department. Every week, we post the goings on as provided by this community 25 miles west of Portland, not because it's earth-shatteringly important, but because it provides a glimpse into the world of modern small-town policing.
June 11
* A night shift officer located a suspicious vehicle on B Street with a clearly tampered ignition and several gas cans inside. Following voices heard coming from the adjacent creek, the officer found a small crew of locals who had setup an extensive camp in the area. All were advised that they were trespassing and ordered to vacate the premises, which they did.
* A caller reported a man who was calling out and making "weird fighting stances" toward other people near a park. The man, who was deaf, told officers he was upset that his iPad was stolen from him while sleeping on the bus. Officers learned the alleged theft occurred two months prior, and asked the man to move along.
* Officers assisted the Washington County Crisis Team in contacting a possibly suicidal woman seen eating expired food. The woman said she was able to take care of herself and had no thoughts of harming herself.
June 12
* An apartment manager reported a man sleeping in the complex laundry facility. The man left after officers woke him up. Not long after, police received a call that a man with the same description had stumbled into a convenient store and appeared disoriented. Officers contacted the man again and sent him on his way.
* Officers responded to a fight between a husband and wife who were arguing over picking up their daughter at the airport.
* Officers contacted a woman with an outstanding warrant. The woman initially ran from officers, but her flight was shortly ended when she tripped into an in-ground fire pit. She was arrested.
June 13
* A woman reported her purse and Pennsylvania drivers license stolen out of her vehicle overnight. While there was no suspect information, an officer completed her report quickly so the woman wouldn't miss her flight home that afternoon.
* A patrol officer was flagged down by a woman who wanted a ride home because she was going to be late for the syndicated airing of "Walker, Texas Ranger." Missing a television program, no matter how legendary, is not considered valid grounds for courtesy transportation.
* A caller reported two men allegedly checking door handles to vehicles in a business parking lot. Officers were unable to locate anyone in the area.

June 14
* A man came into the police department multiple times to report harassment by neighbors, alleging they had moved dog feces into his yard, hacked his phone, and that electronic signals were causing his joints to hurt. Officers found no issues with the phone or evidence of any crime, and referred the man to mental health services in Hillsboro.
* A caller stated that unknown persons had entered his apartment and stole $2 from his wallet.
* Officers responded to a location where a woman was heard screaming. Upon arrival, officers found the woman and three men who all gave conflicting stories as to why the screaming had occurred. Police suggested the parties go their separate ways.
June 15
* A caller reported seeing a group of 20 or more juveniles running around one of the local elementary schools. Officers located a group of high school students who were playing an end of the school year game of tag.

* A man called police because his parents would not give him the keys to his car, stating they did not want him out driving. Officers convinced the parents to release the keys to their son as he is 19 years old and the vehicle's registered owner.

June 16
* A caller reported she and her friend were being chased by a singing man. Officers checked the area but found no one matching the description. The girls later were unsure if they were actually being chased. An officer gave both girls a ride home.
* A man with a felony warrant ran from police. A K9 unit was called in and caught the man hiding in some arborvitae.
June 17
* Police contacted a man at a local park who was rambling about a woman in a pink robe armed with a butter knife. Police found no one matching this description in the area.
* A woman stole beer and chicken wings from a local store, then allegedly head-butted an officer when police tried taking her into custody.
* Police assisted in the evacuation of an assisted living center during a fire.

Nazi-era MP40 submachine gun seized, 40yo man charged, after traffic stop in NSW

Nazi-era MP40 submachine gun seized, 40yo man charged, after traffic stop in NSW

Looks like someone founds their Grandpa's war trophy lol.
----------

A 40-year-old man has been charged with possessing a prohibited firearm after police seized a German submachine gun during a traffic stop on the New South Wales Central Coast last night. Police found the MP40 submachine gun after they pulled over a Holden Commodore at The Entrance about 7:40pm.

The weapon was developed in Nazi Germany and used extensively in World War II.

Police seized a bag containing the gun, a magazine and 60 rounds of ammunition. The gun's barrel was missing.The man police charged was a passenger in the vehicle, which was stopped on Oakland Avenue.

Police said the gun appeared to be in working order. Shane Casey, senior curator at the Australian War Memorial, said the weapon was used extensively by the German army.

"It's a very robust weapon and was also souvenired during the war by Allied soldiers," he said.

"We've got examples here in our collection. You would find it after the war being used in Northern Ireland and there's also examples that have turned up in Vietnam and Cambodia.

"Initially it would have been designed to be carried by troops in vehicles or paratroopers because it's quite small and has a folding stock." Mr Casey said the weapon was collectible.

"Anyone who is interested in Germany army history or the second World War would recognise this weapon immediately," he said.

The weapon will undergo a forensic examination to determine if it was linked to any shooting incidents.

The man will appear in Wyong Local Court today.

Is this yours? Lost suitcase has $1.6 million cash inside



Police are searching for the person who left a suitcase containing more than a million dollars in cash in a warehouse in western Sydney.
Police officers were investigating a suspected drug importation when they found the suitcase containing $1.6m in cash in Wetherill Park.


They have since listed the lost fortune as unclaimed cash but are searching for the person connected to it.
"We'd be very keen to speak with you," Australian Federal Police posted on social media today.
"And by speak with you, we definitely mean to ask where you got a suitcase full of cash from. We have a sneaking suspicion this isn't your average pay packet".

Attempted murder, broccoli, and bad weed deal gets man 16 years in jail

Attempted murder, broccoli, and bad weed deal gets man 16 years in jail

Anyone who has seen a crime drama on TV or in a movie has undoubtedly witnessed a scene where a drug dealer is trying to pass off fake goods. Normally, the drugs are cocaine, heroin or meth but fake weed is rare. This did not stop a Colorado man identified as Sababu Colbert-Evans, 26, from a brilliant scheme to get a quick $10K.
According to ABC affiliate Denver News 7, back in March 2016, Colbert-Evans, and his partner, identified as Tercell Davis, a.k.a. 22 Jump Street, fooled prospective buyers into purchasing a block of green material they thought was high-grade weed. The buyers dropped $10K in cash and later realized they were sold a block of high-grade broccoli. The infuriated buyers contacted Colbert-Evans and Davis to get their product or the money back. A meet up was arranged and all the parties involved met outside a local mall in Aurora, Colorado to correct the supposed error. Once again, instead of weed, the dealers tried to pass off some more broccoli and a heated argument ensued. That’s when Davis and Colbert-Evans shot at the buyers 11 times. One of them was hit in the torso but recovered.
Davis pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree murder and will be sentenced August 7, 2017. Colbert-Evans was recently sentenced on the charge of attempted first-degree murder and several lesser charges for a possible 16 years in prison. He’ll serve the sentences concurrently, and once released will be on parole for five years.
When the sentence was passed, 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler said, “This may be the first time that broccoli has been bad for someone’s health.”
Colorado is a state where both medicinal and recreational use and possession of marijuana is legal. There are dozens of marijuana dispensaries available across the state where weed can be purchased legally. So, if you’re in Colorado make sure you can tell the difference between OG Kush and funky broccoli.
