A Baltimore man is no longer an Anne Arundel County police officer after he was charged for public intoxication and biting another man's testicles during a fight outside a bar while he was off-duty on Cinco de Mayo.

I, read that.

Russian Ambassador Uses Photo of Actor Kal Penn in Tweet About Terrorists

The Tweet and Image:

US threatens to stop helping Iraq against ISIL if Baghdad asks Russia for help. The terrorists must be rejoicing

The only problem was that the "terrorist" depicted in the image was actually an image of American actor Kal Penn from the stoner comedy "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay," during an imagined fantasy sequence of a paranoid airplane passenger.

Minnesota Woman Accused of Asking to ?Taste? Children
http://time.com/4084490/minnesota-woman-crime-children-stalking/

(CHAMPLIN, Minn.) ? A suburban Minneapolis woman is accused of sending anonymous notes to a neighboring family saying that she wanted to ?taste? their children.

Champlin Deputy Police Chief Ty Schmidt said 38-year-old Carrie Pernula was charged Thursday by summons with stalking and disorderly conduct.

Police say Pernula was upset because the children made noise and left items in her yard.

WCCO-TV reports the first anonymous note arrived Sept. 27 by mail and said: ?The children look delicious. May I have a taste?? The family has two elementary school students.

The family then began to receive magazine subscriptions addressed to ?tasty children.?

Police traced the magazines and arrested Pernula last Friday. She was released from jail Monday.

Pernula?s attorney, Debbie Lang, called it ?an unfortunate and complicated situation for everyone involved.?

We've all been there.

Now 8 News ain't reality.

How ?Texas? became Norwegian for ?crazy?

They're just not following the news out of Florida.
