A
32-year-old who drove his friend to a Lincoln hospital in the bucket
of a front-end loader Friday night was arrested for DUI and felony
theft after blocking the ambulance bay with the stolen machinery.
Officer Erin Spilker said Jordan Evans had taken the $75,000
front-end loader from Sixth and Plum streets to Bryan West Campus and
showed up at the hospital with a 40-year-old man in the bucket just
before 11:00 p.m. last Friday. Evans was taking the man to the
hospital because he was injured. Police saw a bottle of alcohol in
the vehicle and believed Evans was intoxicated. The owner, Taylor
Excavating, said he didn't have permission to take the loader. They
arrested Evans on suspicion of felony theft, fourth-offense DUI, and
driving during a 15-year license revocation. Spilker said his
blood-alcohol content tested 0.184%, more than double the legal
limit, at the jail. (https://bit.ly/3dl0jRz)

FACT FOR YOU:

this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
The
total weight of ants on earth once equaled the total weight of
people. Entomologists have estimated that there are at least one
million trillion insects and only one percent of that number is ants,
according to the BBC. And if you took all those ants (about ten
thousand trillion) and put them on one side of a giant scale, you
could almost put all of the people in the world onto the other and
balance things out. Unfortunately, as humans have become heavier,
this probably wouldn't hold up today—but it once did. Francis
Ratnieks, professor of Apiculture at the University of Sussex, told
the BBC this might have held true around 2,000 years ago.

Police have busted a mattress-making factory in Maharashtra's Jalgaon district found using discarded masks, in place of cotton or other material, to stuff its products. A case has been filed against the owner of the unit with the police launching a probe into the matter. Piles of face masks were also recovered from the premises of the mattress factory. The used face masks, found lying around the premises, were set on fire as per the prescribed norms. The matter first came to light when the police station at Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in Jalgaon was alerted about the racket. Jalgaon is located about 400 kilometers northeast of Mumbai city. “When the officials visited the premises of the factory in Kusumba village of MIDC, they found a mattress being stuffed with used masks,” said Additional Superintendent of Police Chandrakant Gawali. “A case was registered against the factory owner, Amjad Ahmed Mansoori.

Four teenage girls are accused of setting fire to an unoccupied Pennsylvania house and posting footage of the inferno to Snapchat. Police used the social media post to identify and later arrest the teen suspects, ranging in age from 12 to 14, for the fire in a Ferndale duplex. The girls told police they started the blaze because “they were bored,” Ferndale Police Chief John Blake said. They allegedly used numerous aerosol sprays, including bug spray and Lysol to ignite the fire. A police officer and firefighter suffered minor injuries during the fire. Authorities said that the teens are charged with felony arson, causing catastrophe, trespassing, and endangering another person. They were released to their families. Their cases will be heard in Cambria County juvenile court.(https://bit.ly/3dZDpzs)
