If you're going to let your kid drive you home because you're drunk, at least make sure they have a license...okay, as long as they're old enough...

While a designated driver is a good idea if you've been drinking, Goshen Township police said one woman's driver was a bit too young. An officer said he pulled over Marya Green. The officer said that when he came to the driver's window, he found that Green's 1-year-old son was at the wheel, sitting in Green's lap. Green, 29, registered a .11 percent blood-alcohol level. Two other children, ages 8 and 5, were also in the car.

Green was arrested and faces charges of DUI, driving under OVI suspension, noncompliance, and endangering children. Police said this is Green's third DUI arrest in six years.

Man admits to killing his wife and says he doesn't know why

It took all of seven words for Matthew Gretz to seal his own fate. "I stabbed and intentionally killed my wife," Gretz, the husband of Minneapolis art student Kira Simonian, told Hennepin County District Judge Robert Blaeser on Monday.

The 33-year-old Minneapolis man originally had cast himself as the grieving husband who was as much a victim, a role he played to the hilt during a candlelight vigil after his wife's death. Then, the evidence mounted. Two months later, he was charged with murder.

Gretz, 33, pleaded guilty to second-degree intentional murder for stabbing Simonson about 15 times in the chest and neck and smashing her head with a hammer last June 28. According to the charges, Gretz chased Simonian around their south Minneapolis apartment during the bizarre and bloody attack, screaming, "Do you love me?"

3 accused of using corpse head to smoke pot

The teenager's story of decapitating a corpse and using the head to smoke marijuana was so outlandish that at first Houston Police Department senior officer Jim Adkins did not believe it.

Yet, Kevin Wade Jones Jr., 17, appeared almost indifferent as he relayed the bizarre description of his and two friends' activities. Houston police believe the teens disturbed the grave of an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921. The child was buried at an unmarked cemetery believed to be reserved for black veterans and their families, Adkins said.

Under the law, a person can be charged with abuse of a corpse simply by vandalizing, damaging or treating a gravesite offensively — even if the human remains buried there are not touched, Adkins said.

Dude gets 100 shotgun pellets to the face, neck & back.

A man survived a shot in the back during a hunting trip Sunday, leaving more than 100 shotgun pellets in his face, neck and back.

Brent Rose, an avid and long- time hunter, suffered the blow while turkey hunting near Grangeville with a few friends. Rose was within reach of a turkey he had been chasing when he heard someone behind him. He tried to whistle to alert the three hunters to his presence, but said his lips were too dry.

"I waived my hand to let them know I was there," he said. "I saw them looking at me, and then boom. I was face down on the ground holding the back of my head and screaming for my life."

Dude locks his newly-wed wife in dog cage.

A man is accused of handcuffing his wife inside a dog cage days after they were married in Las Vegas.

28-year-old Matthew George also fired gunshots inside the home. His wife, Mary Swihart, was not injured. "He had her handcuffed inside of the cage, would hold her against her will inside the cage for two to four hours at a time, release her from the cage, re-handcuff her outside the cage, let two dogs inside the cage and crate the dogs," said Canton police Lt. Jim Cole.

Neighbors said George and Swihart fought often, yelling obscenities at all hours of the day and night, many times outside in the driveway. Police said that on Saturday, George fired gunshots both into the floor and at Swihart after four days of mistreating her.

"At some point in time, she convinced him to un-handcuff her so she could use the restroom. At that time, she chose to run out of the house, she began screaming," said Cole. "We believe he fired one more round from his handgun into her direction. There were shell casings all over the house." » Full article here

Dude leaves note, 'I was wondering if you could help me with my panty fetish'

Police are looking for a man with a "fetish for panties” who may be responsible for a sexual assault.

Since March 3, police have taken two reports from women. On March 6, a 19-year-old woman told police she found a note on her car in the parking lot. The note said the woman would be paid $20 if she would leave a pair of soiled panties by a trash bin at the complex, Troutman said. The note read in part, "I was wondering if you could help me with my panty fetish ...” Troutman said.

The incident was similar to a March 3 case, which was reported by a 44-year-old woman. She told police someone knocked on her apartment door. When she opened it, she found a pornographic picture from a magazine, a pair of panties hanging on the doorknob and another pair lying on the ground.

The same woman said a man approached her in the laundry room in January and asked her if she would model her panties for him. She also reported a man peeping into her apartment window Feb. 20. » Full article here
