John Houston didn't have it easy growing up. From a young age, home was not a place where he wanted to be. His parents divorced, his mother moved out, his father remarried and moved in with his new family and John and his older brother began living by themselves at the ages of 11 and 15. The years that followed were both challenging and remarkable as John overcame hardships that could have permanently derailed his life to become a respected and successful business owner.

A
25-year-old man is accused of backing his car into an Oklahoma City
business and then telling police he meant to hit the neighboring vape
store and marijuana dispensary to burglarize it. Police say John
Lytle backed the vehicle into a shoe repair business and smashed
everything in its path. The owner’s daughter, Claudia Enciso, said
it’s a massive loss for her parents and their small business. “It’s
pretty depressing and sad because they’ve been working very hard
and they’ve been doing very well,” she said. The glass from the
storefront was shattered and covered the inside of the business along
with ceiling tiles and everything else inside. Lt. Isaac Goodman said
they had to get Lytle out of the car and the store. He then told
police he hit the wrong building. “He made some statements to
officers after the fact that he had intended to burglarize the
neighboring business, which is a smoke shop,” Goodman said. Lytle
has been booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on charges of
second-degree burglary and two counts of malicious injury to
property. (https://bit.ly/3w4OSGr)

Originally
built at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering, in
1946, ENIAC weighed 60,000 pounds and took up a room larger than most
studio apartments (1,500 square feet). Shortly after construction,
ENIAC was sent off to the military, where it was used to calculate
ballistic trajectories (translation: launch missiles) with
frightening accuracy. Today, computer experts at Penn credit ENIAC
with heralding in the "dawn of the information age."

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
An
enraged ex-Walmart employee crashed his car into a Concord, North
Carolina, location, driving down several aisles of the store before
he was stopped. Police said the terrifying incident unfolded at 6:00
am on Friday. The early hour meant there were no customers on site,
but a number of employees — the man’s former colleagues — were
in the store at the time of the collision. Incredibly, nobody was
injured in the reckless incident, however there was significant
damage to the facility. North Carolina shoppers kept pulling into the
parking lot of the Walmart in the wake of the furious ex-employee’s
vehicular assault, but were turned away. The store was closed for the
day after it was transformed into a messy crime scene. North Carolina
cops have identified the ex-employee as Lacy Cordell Gentry. FOX 8
reports that he’s currently in custody. The former Walmart employee
is looking at felony charges from North Carolina authorities. These
include assault on a government official with a deadly weapon, and
breaking and entering. Gentry has also received misdemeanor charges.

OF DUH: Brought

A
Naples woman was arrested for allegedly firing multiple shots into
her husband’s truck. 45-year-old Lara Love is facing a felony
charge after her husband told deputies she shot up his vehicle with a
handgun just before 12:00 p.m. while four children were inside the
home. The husband told investigators he and Love have been separated
for nearly two years but still live together in their Golden Gate
Estates home with their four children. Deputies said an argument over
the husband getting home late led Love to shoot a 9mm handgun at her
husband’s vehicle multiple times. When authorities arrived, they
said they overheard Love telling one of her children to take her gun
and put it in the truck. The 45-year-old was taken into custody by
the Collier County Sheriff’s Office. She is facing a charge of
shooting a missile into a vehicle. (https://bit.ly/39Gj1lW)
