Fire-fighters freed the seventeen year old using a rope, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the teen had been stuck in the chimney since 3 a.m. Tuesday.

The teen named as Ranaldo Jack, faces burglary charges as well as being charged with providing false information to a police officer, when he gave officers a fake name when first released from the chimney.

The neighbour of a neighbouring property called police after hearing Ranaldo’s cries for help. Laura Chaparro heard someone yelling for help, she said: “We were talking to him, ‘what are you doing down there?’ He just said, ‘Ah, I’m stupid,”

Apparently the owner of the home had no idea that someone had been stuck in her chimney until she came home and found TV crews there. Tsehianesh Kidane told AJC that she came home to find TV crews there. She said: “Police and everything around the house … It looks like a tornado touched down. Oh my God, that scares me to death. Why did he figure out (to go) through the chimney?”

On Tuesday night, Jack was being held without bond night in Gwinnett County Detention Centre, in his mug shot Jack is seen covered in soot.

The bees were being transported to California, ready to pollinate an almond crop next spring.

Interstate 15 was closed down for several hours while local beekeepers worked overnight to recapture the bees.

The trip was among the last of 160 truckloads of bees being sent south from Adee Honey Farms in South Dakota.

Authorities closed the southbound lanes of the highway, near the Arizona border, for several hours on Sunday night. The road reopened early on Monday morning, but officials have warned drivers to keep their windows closed.

“The driver lost control, hit the concrete barrier and rolled over,” said Corporal Todd Johnson of the Utah Highway Patrol. “Of course, we then had bees everywhere.”
‘Complete loss’

Driver Louis Holst and his wife Tammie were dragged out of the overturned trailer by first responders, but were swarmed by the escape bees on the highway.

“We just started swinging our clothes,” Mr Holst told the Associated Press news agency. “They stung her all up and down her neck.”

Mr Holst said he was stung about a dozen times and suffered a gash on his forehead. His wife also was both stung and bruised.
Two police officers were also stung.
Richard Adee, owner of Adee Honey Farms, said this truckload, worth approximately $116,000 (£72,500) was “pretty much a complete loss”.

Local beekeepers worked overnight to capture the bees, but on Monday most of the inhabitants of the 460 hives were gone or dead.

“We tried to move them [the bees] as far out of the metropolitan area as we could,” beekeeper Melvin Taylor told the Reuters news agency. “Because when those bees come alive today, they are going to be mad that their house is all [broken] apart.”

Earlier this summer, an estimated 14 million bees escaped from an overturned truck on a Idaho highway.

The owner of the animals Terry Thompson had opened the animals cadges, he then committed suicide in what’s thought to be a act of spite against his neighbours. Thompson had recently been in jail on weapons charges and had a record for animal cruelty.

Homeowners in the area hid indoors while officers armed with high-powered rifles and shoot-to-kill orders scoured the nearby area including fields and woodland.  54 animals were released, 48 were killed by officers, six other animals, were captured and taken to Columbus Zoo they were; three leopards, a grizzly bear and two monkeys. Later on a wolf was found dead however a monkey is still left missing.

The decision by police to shoot and kill the animals may have not necessarily been a popular idea however there was the worry that if tranquilisers were used the animals could escape in the darkness before they dropped and would later regain consciousness.

The animals were released in Zanesville, which has a population of 25,000, local schools in the mainly rural area were closed and residents were urged to stay indoors along with their pets. Motorists were also alerted with flashing signs along highways which said ‘Caution exotic animals’ and ‘Stay in vehicle.’

The Carnival cruise line had informed authorities in St. Maarten prior to docking and the FBI are now investigating. The woman being questioned is believed to be the dead infant’s mother, so she has not being charged. She is a U.S. passenger but not a resident of Florida.

When the liner returned to Florida the FBI’s Evidence Response Team was activated according to Special Agent Dave Couvertier and that the FBI was working with port authorities to investigate.

He said: “We received preliminary information of a deceased newborn on the vessel and we are investigating the matter. We have been coordinating with Carnival Cruise Line which has been fully cooperative. No one has been charged as we are still working on obtaining facts and gathering any available evidence. As a result, no information is being released regarding suspects at this time. Due to the international and jurisdictional aspects we are still working on obtaining facts and specific details about the incident.”

The man was then taken to Albert Einstein Medical Centre and is in an unknown condition. According to CBS News the local police are investigating the incident as to why the man amputated his own arm and hand.

Some people suffer from a syndrome called body integrity identity disorder, where they feel incomplete with four limbs and their brains don’t recognise a healthy limb as belonging to their body which is why some people end up removing them.

Individuals who request help from surgeons find that their requests are usually turned down because they won’t amputate a healthy limb.

The events came to light after computer transcripts which are kept by the city authorities were found showing the alleged conversation between officers in their patrol car as follows:
At 2.44 in the morning, one officer typed: “So HIGH…Good munchies.”

Another officer reply’s to him: “Everything should be open when we get done.

First officer again: “Two hours, max.”

Another officer replies: “Probably, but this will take the whole shift.”

Currently the teenager, Nicholas Hill is still facing charges of two felonies even though the incident with the police officers was highlighted by Hills lawyer.  The kids lawyers Daniel Cahill and J. Julio Vela, investigated Hills claims, they told ABC news station.

Houston Police Department said it is taking the allegations seriously, however it is unclear whether the officers will face disciplinary action over the incident. Hills lawyer Mr Cahill commented that the cops should be hit with felony cases of their own, after all eating pot brownies that they found on the teenager they had charged would constitute felony destruction of evidence. He also said that the incident represents official misconduct.

The pot brownie eating incident is being investigated by Houston Police’s internal affairs department and the officers involved have been drug-tested, although four months after the event took place.

No surprising the suspicious activity was reported to be a couple who were getting rather amorous in the small toilet cubical. According to US TV network ABC officials told them that the unruly passengers were just “making out” on board the domestic flight from Denver destined for Detroit. The airline landed safely however SWAT police and local authorities searched the aircraft to make sure it was safe.

According to witness, Ilona Hajdar, of Michigan, ‘two men and a woman were escorted off the plane’. It’s known that the passengers were detained for questioning before being released without charge, but it’s not known why three people were arrested.

Belinda Duggan, of Michigan another passenger on board The Frontier Airlines Flight 623 explained the drama she saw: “All of a sudden, a SWAT team went through and saying, please place your hands on the seat in front of you.”

Sniffer dogs inspected the baggage that had been on board before passengers could collect it. There is a heightened security alert on all US flights after the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) issued warning around the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The FBI said that NORAD scrambled the fighter jets to shadow the plane “out of an abundance of caution.” But FBI Detroit spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said authorities ultimately determined there was no real threat. She said: “Due to the anniversary of September 11, all precautions were taken, and any slight inconsistency was taken seriously. The public would rather us err on the side of caution than not.”

The crime was described as ‘definitely weird’ by Detective Tony Kovacs of the Lorain County Sheriff’s Department, he said: “It’s kind of crazy to steal a vehicle that is that expensive to break into a store to get some kind of sex toy.”

The thief broke into a nearby recycling lot where a truck and trailer were parked, unlocked. He then drove down to the AdultMart, crashed into the front of the shop and went straight to the expensive product.

According to police the suspect is a regular visitor to the adult store because he knew exactly where to go and went straight to the item.
The owner of JT recycling lot from where the truck was stolen, John Tirbaso, said he was ‘shocked’ at the incident he said: “I even said, “Wow, you know this economy is bad, I guess this stuff is going to happen”, then, when he told me what happened it just threw me off.”

Tirbaso confirmed it was not one of his employees who stole the vehicle after checking CCTV footage however what was strange was the vagina thief returned the truck to John’s lot after the incident.

It’s not the first time the AdultMart had been broken into for a sex toy, back in September 2009 a man drove a car into the back of the business to steal a sex toy, he then left through the front door, remaining in the car the whole time.

According to the five firms the plans will violate their constitutional right to free speech, because they will be forced to promote the government’s anti-smoking message. At the moment the FDA have not commented on the lawsuit and the effect it will have on law which will come into effect from September 2012 and will require warnings on all cigarette packets.

The suit against the FDA was filed late on Tuesday by RJ Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard Tobacco, Commonwealth Brands, Liggett Group and Santa Fe Natural Tobacco in an effort to delay enforcement of the new law. According to their complaint which is 45 pages long, the five companies state that putting the new graphic labels on their packaging would illegally force them to make consumers “depressed, discouraged and afraid” to buy their products.

In a statement Floyd Abrams, a lawyer representing the cigarette makers, said “The government can require warnings which are straightforward and essentially uncontroversial, but they can’t require a cigarette pack to serve as a mini-billboard for the government’s anti-smoking campaign and that the new labels would violate the companies’ free-speech rights under the first amendment to the constitution.”

The labels are required to cover the top half of the front and back sides of cigarette packages and 20% of the printed advertising, according to the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. In June this year it was stated by the Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that the new labels could deter young people from starting to smoke and give adult smokers a new incentive to quit.

It’s not the first time a lawsuit like this has been made, last year in a US district court in Kentucky a cigarette maker lost a case when a judge said the FDA could move ahead with forcing the companies to use the new graphic labels which feature dead bodies, diseased lungs and rotten teeth. The ruling for this case is currently pending before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Both RJ Reynolds whose brands include Camel and Winston and Lorillard brands who include Newport and True are part of the suit. However US tobacco firms, Altria which is one of the biggest US tobacco firms in the US and who are the parent company of Philip Morris and maker of Marlboro cigarettes have so far not joined in any of the legal action against the FDA.

According to figures from the American Cancer Society in 2011, more than 220,000 people in the US are expected to be diagnosed with lung cancer and the use of tobacco is estimated to be responsible for 443,000 deaths in the US each year.

Apparently on Sunday morning a man who was said to be angry with his girlfriend shot two people outside an home in Copley, Ohio as well as two more in a car, the man then his girlfriend, in total he killed six seven people before being shot himself by police officers. There were also two other people left wounded and tragically an 11-year-old, was also killed. According to Copley School Superintendent Brian Poe, a township trustee told him two Copley High School students were killed during the shootings.

Currently investigators are trying to piece together what exactly happened at each of the four crime scenes, according to Copley police Chief Michael Mier.

Gilbert Elie, who lived in the neighbourhood, said that he was getting ready for church when he heard gunshots and cries for help in his northeast Ohio neighbourhood, which is a wooded, residential area outside Akron. He said that he went to a house across the street and found a shocking scene: “he woman who lived there lying in the driveway, her husband shot near the garage, and their young granddaughter and another woman shot in the front seat of a vehicle, the windows apparently blown out by gunfire.”

He also said that a third woman came out of the house next door and tried to talk to him, however the brief exchange ended abruptly when a man followed her out of the house and shot her. Mr Elie who is 75 ran to safety behind a truck, fearing he would be next. He said: “She was talking to me, and he come up behind her and shot her, so I figured, maybe I’m next,’ he said.”
Mr Elie stated that he stayed put until he could see the gunman was gone and returned home and waited for police to arrive. When they did and Elie said; ‘he heard a second round of shots coming from behind the houses and assumed officers had killed the gunman.’

According to Mr Elie the gunman lived with the woman who tried to talk to him. Elie described the gunman as unfriendly, a rarity on a street where most neighbours offer a wave in passing. He often worked on his car outside his house but never waved at anyone.

Barricades have been put up to block Schocalog Road and the scene of the crime while officers investigate and no details have yet been released on what exactly happened. The Police plan to release more information at a noon press conference on Monday.

According to reports the group entered the high-end lingerie store in Georgetown, Washington, on Monday afternoon, distracting store employees before making off with products, ‘within seconds’ of entering, after co-ordinating the raid online. After the spate of robberies, other store managers in Georgetown, Washington, have expressed worry about the trend of ‘flashrobs’. The local police department believe the ‘flashrobs’ are planned on Facebook and Twitter, not long before they take place. The raiders enter stores filled with dumbfounded customers before blatantly stealing goods straight in front of store security cameras.

Lt John Hedgecock, from Washington D.C. Police, told Fox News: “They come in and they do it so fast – within a matter of seconds. What happened in this store probably lasted around 20 seconds. They go in, they distract the employees and they grab the merchandise, they are in and out. We have some information that they may be using some of the social media such as Facebook and Twitter to schedule an event if you will.”

Reports state that the robbery took place on Monday at around 2pm, where two men and two women entered the store with two baby strollers, while a small child distracted staff, allowing the theft to take place. The store owners said that the robbers showed no concern for store security, in fact they even ‘posed’ for the cameras in store, safe in the in the knowledge that the confusion of the flashrob means identifying them could be difficult.

Expert opinions on the brazen robbers state that they believe that young people get a rush from taking part in the ‘flashrobs’ and having the footage circulated in the media or on YouTube by police.

Scott Decker, Professor of Criminology at Arizona State University, told Fox News: “Young people are risk takers and seeing themselves on security videos uploaded on YouTube or the news can be a thrill to them.”
