Doctor Claims He Travels Back In Time To Heal

Doctor Claims He Travels Back In Time To Heal
State Health Officials Not Buying It

POSTED: 8:14 am CDT September 29, 2006

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- An Ohio chiropractor who claimed to treat patients using time travel has surrendered his license to practice.

State regulators had been investigating Dr. James Burda of Athens, who said he could take care of anyone, anywhere by reaching back in time to when the injury occurred.

Burda said he discovered the skill six years ago when he hurt his own foot while driving. He said he gave the pain a command to stop and it went away.

He said he doesn't use force to realign bones, but he uses his mind to manipulate the body. But if that doesn't work, he said he travels back in time to fix the problem. He calls the practice Bala-Keem. State medical officials call it malpractice.

Burda's Web site offered long-distance healing service for $60 an hour.

Burda said that his practice is beyond chiropractic, and is beyond what "they understand." He said that anything that's beyond what people don't understand scares them.

The Ohio State Chiropractic Board accused him of being unable to practice due to mental illness. Now, in a written statement, Burda acknowledges his form of treatment was not acceptable.

Election law keeps son who killed mom free

Election law keeps son who killed mom free

Sep 30, 9:05 AM (ET)



SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) - A Brazilian law designed to ensure fair elections has kept police from arresting a 23-year-old law student who confessed to hiring hitmen to kill his mother.

Adriano Saddi Lima Oliveira told police he paid 40,000 reais ($18,433) to hitmen who killed his mother Marisa, a real estate tycoon, several months ago, a police investigator told local TV. Oliveira told police his mother was squandering his inheritance going out with her boyfriend.

Police wanted to arrest him but were unable to do so because of a law that prohibits anybody from being arrested five days before and two days after an election, unless they are caught in the act of committing a crime.

The law aims to curb heavy-handed tactics -- like a local political chief trying to hang onto power by having his opponents arrested on election day and locked up until polls close.

Brazil holds general elections on Sunday and police say Oliveira will be arrested next week.

Students: School Suspended us for Dressing Alike

Students: School Suspended Us For Dressing Alike
Girls Are In After School Dance Group Together

UPDATED: 12:57 pm CDT September 28, 2006

MARION, Ind. -- A school recently suspended four eighth-grade girls because they wore identical outfits on the same day, some of the girls and their parents said.

Two of the girls, Dacia Small and Mindy Ellis, said McCulloch Middle School officials incorrectly branded them as gang members because of the outfits. The four received a five-day suspension after Principal Michael Shaffer saw their clothes, Small and Ellis said.

"One of the girls asked him what was the matter with it. Then he started yelling at all everybody and took us to the office and suspended us," Small told Indianapolis TV station WRTV.


Shaffer said the girls were suspended because they violated school rules, but he declined to say which rules they broke.

"I can't really address specifically a student discipline issue in regard to a particular student," Shaffer said. "I will tell you that we have a code of conduct here at McCulloch Middle School that we expect all of our students to measure up to. We're talking about a violation of that code of conduct."

The girls, whose suspensions end Tuesday, are in an after-school dance group together, but not a gang, Small said.

"We dressed alike because we are just friends," Small said.

Small's mother, Regina Barnett, said she isn't happy with Shaffer's decision. She said she thought the suspension had to do with the girls being black. Shaffer is white.

"I told him I think it's a racial thing," Barnett said. "He said he didn't appreciate me saying that because he has black friends and this and that," Barnett said.

Barnett said she is worried that the gang allegation would be on her daughter's school record.

"I don't want it on her record that she got kicked out for a gang," Barnett said. "She's not in a gang. I'm not going to let that get stuck on her record."

Barnett said she hoped to talk to the school district's superintendent about the issue.

Car Jihad!

CINCINNATI (Reuters) -- A car commercial proclaiming a jihad on the U.S. auto market and offering "Fatwa Fridays" with free swords for the kids is offensive and should not be aired, Muslim leaders said on Sunday.

The radio advertisement for the Dennis Mitsubishi car dealership in Columbus, Ohio, has "a whole jihad theme," said Adnan Mirza, director of the Columbus office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"They are planning on launching a jihad on the automotive market and their representatives would be wearing burqas ... ," Mirza said. "They mentioned the pope in there and also about giving rubber swords out to the kiddies -- really just reprehensible-type comments."

Details of the radio ad, which has not yet been broadcast, have been reported in the local media, but officials at the dealership declined to comment about the content of the radio spot.

Two employees at the dealership said they had been deluged with calls about the commercial.

"The ad has has never been released, it is not out for public listening," said one employee who declined to give his name.

Mirza said several local radio stations had already rejected the ad and he hoped the controversy would convince the dealership to rethink its sales strategy.

"We've made it clear to this dealer that this campaign runs contrary to our company values and we strongly urged him not to run the campaign," Mitsubishi Motors North America said in a company statement released Monday afternoon. "The dealer has agreed not to run it."

Mirza said the Council on American-Islamic Relations would likely contact the dealer to "offer some kind of cultural or sensitivity awareness training."

WTF?!

The only possible thing I could come up with to say about this story is as follows, and please pardon the language:

This piece of flaming horse shit needs to be skull fucked with a chainsaw.

Thank you.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- A man repeatedly stabbed his toddler and estranged wife along an interstate while horrified people watched from their cars in rush-hour traffic Friday night, police and witnesses said.

The 2-year-old girl was in a car with her parents when her father started stabbing his wife with a kitchen knife along Interstate 110 near the Governor's Mansion, said Cpl. L'Jean McKneely, a Baton Rouge Police spokesman.

When the 26-year-old woman got out and ran for help from an East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputy in squad car just ahead of them, her husband stabbed his daughter, McKneely said.

"He kept stabbing her until the knife was stuck in her head," witness Gloria Spears told WAFB-TV.

The man then put the girl on the highway and drove off, side-swiping the deputy's car and striking his wife, police said. He sped into downtown Baton Rouge and knocked down at least three utility poles before his car hurtled through the air and overturned on top of another vehicle.

All three were taken to Our Lady of the Lake Medical Center. The child was in "extremely critical" condition, with a cut "along her midsection and a kitchen knife lodged in her head," McKneely said.

Her mother, who was thrown 20 to 40 feet by the impact of the car, also had numerous stab wounds, he said. She was expected to live. The man was being treated for minor injuries, McKneely said.

He said police will not release the man's name until he is released from the hospital and booked into jail; the woman's and child's names were withheld because they are victims, he said.

McKneely said the couple, who was not identified, has been married for about six years but were currently living apart. It was not immediately clear what led to the stabbings.

Man Bites Panda After Panda Bites Man

Man bites panda after panda bites man

Sep 21, 8:08 AM (ET)

BEIJING (Reuters) - An intoxicated Chinese man who tried to give a panda a hug at Beijing Zoo found himself biting it in self defense after his clumsy attempt at affection was savagely rejected, local media reported Thursday.

Zhang Xinyan, a building worker on holiday from China's central Henan province, climbed into an enclosure that held Gu Gu, a seven-year-old panda, at Beijing Zoo after the man had drunk four pints of beer during lunch at a nearby restaurant, the Yanzhao Metropolis Daily said.

Zhang, who couldn't remember the incident clearly, had wanted to hug the panda and shake its hand after having watched similar scenes on television.

"When I was in there, the panda was eating bamboo. Then, it seemed some people shouted, which startled the panda. He rushed over to bite my leg," Zhang said.

Zhang, who tried in vain to push the panda away, was bitten twice and forced to the ground, the paper said.

"I took the opportunity to bite the panda's back, but its fur was too thick," Zhang said.

Eventually, a zoo worker sprayed water from a hose to rescue Zhang from the panda's clutches, the paper said.

Both were worse for wear after the tussle. Zhang was rushed to hospital and given tetanus and rabies shots, while Gu Gu lost her appetite, Xinhua news agency reported.

"It was scared by the intruder and refused to eat for one and a half days," a zoo spokeswoman, surnamed Ye, told Xinhua.

But Gu Gu had recovered and was back on display Thursday.

Zhang, however, faces at least a half-month convalescence, due to the "deep wounds," Xinhua said, citing Zhang's doctor.

His pride had also been injured, after reading stories of his exploits in newspapers.

"I wouldn't have jumped in if I knew what would happen," Zhang said.

The zoo, which plans to install cameras to monitor the enclosure, would not prosecute, Xinhua said.

But Zhang had already been tried and found guilty by Chinese Internet surfers.

"The man should be fined for the trouble he made," an anonymous commentator said in a posting on 163.com.

"He deserved to be bitten."

Defense Asks for Trial Delay Because of Deer Season

Defense asks for trial delay because of deer season
KELLY P. KISSEL
Associated Press Writer

LITTLE ROCK — A defendant in a Lonoke County corruption case has asked the judge to delay the trial because its scheduled timing would conflict with deer-hunting season.

Bobby Cox and five others are to go on trial Nov. 8 in rural Lonoke County but hunting season opens Nov. 11 and lasts for about a month.

John Wesley Hall, an attorney for Cox, said Wednesday he was concerned the trial would take weeks and that hunters selected to be on the jury would become preoccupied and perhaps unable to focus on the case.

"Suppose you're stuck here until after Dec. 10? That's the whole deer season," Hall said. "You never want to hold jurors against their will. They might hold it against everybody."

Prosecutor Lona McCastlain did not return telephone calls seeking comment.

Special Judge John Cole, a retired circuit judge appointed to hear the case, has set a hearing for Sept. 21.

The defendants were initially charged last winter and were named again in revised counts this summer. McCastlain filed the 78 counts, in various combinations, against the town's mayor, former police chief, Cox and three others alleging they were part of a criminal enterprise she dubbed the "Organization." Five of the defendants face felonies, while Lonoke Mayor Thomas Privett faces a single misdemeanor complaint.

Because of concern about whether speedy trial provisions will soon expire, the judge set a trial for the fall.

According to Hall's calculations using figures from the state Game and Fish Commission, 10 percent of Arkansas' population could be planning hunting trips for when the season opens in November. He said it's likely the percentage would be higher for Lonoke County because it is rural.

"The judge mentioned that deer season is coming up and in some counties they don't have jury trials when deer season is open," Hall said.

Arkansas has about 2.8 million residents and, according to the Game and Fish Commission, 273,128 big-game hunters. When the number of convicted felons and the number of children are considered, the number of hunters could make up 15 percent or more of Arkansas' population, Hall said.

Lonoke County has about 60,000 residents and 6,735 of them have licenses to hunt big game, according to U.S. Census and state Game and Fish Commission figures.

"If you put it against registered voters, there's no telling what the percentage would be," Hall said, considering that potential jurors are selected from voter registration lists.

Hall said he would like hunters in the pool because the state is expected to call a number of ex-felons, work-release inmates and "snitches."

"If I had a drug case, I wouldn't want them (hunters) on the jury," Hall said.

Other than Cox and Privett, others charged are former police chief Jay Campbell, Campbell's wife Kelly, police dispatcher Amy Staley and bail bondsman Larry Norwood. The bulk of the charges claim the defendants worked together to obtain drugs, money and jewelry. The prosecution alleges they also conspired to obtain construction, labor or sex from state prisoners.

Cole said the mayor and Staley can have separate trials.

3rd rare white buffalo born on Wis. farm

By EMILY FREDRIX, Associated Press Writer
Thu Sep 14, 4:11 PM ET

A farm in Wisconsin is quickly becoming hallowed ground for American Indians with the birth of its third white buffalo, an animal considered sacred by many tribes for its potential to bring good fortune and peace.

"We took one look at it and I can't repeat what I thought but I thought, 'Here we go again,'" said owner Dave Heider.

Thousands of people stopped by Heider's Janesville farm after the birth of the first white buffalo, a female named Miracle who died in 2004 at the age of 10. The second was born in 1996 but died after three days.

Heider said he discovered the third white buffalo, a newborn male, after a storm in late August.

Over the weekend, about 50 American Indians held a drum ceremony to honor the calf, which has yet to be named, he said.

Floyd "Looks for Buffalo" Hand, a medicine man in the Oglala Sioux Tribe in Pine Ridge, S.D., said it was fate that the white buffaloes chose one farm, which will likely become a focal point for visitors, who make offerings such as tobacco and dream catchers in the hopes of earning good fortune and peace.

"That's destiny," he said. "The message was only choose one person."

The white buffalo is particularly sacred to the Cheyenne, Sioux and other nomadic tribes of the Northern Plains that once relied on the buffalo for subsistence.

According to a version of the legend, a white buffalo, disguised as a woman wearing white hides, appeared to two men. One treated her with respect, and the other didn't. She turned the disrespectful man into a pile of bones, and gave the respectful one a pipe and taught his people rituals and music. She transformed into a female white buffalo calf and promised to return again.

That this latest birth is a male doesn't make it any less significant in American Indian prophecies, which say that such an animal will reunite all the races of man and restore balance to the world, Hand said. He said the buffalo's coat will change from white to black, red and yellow, the colors of the various races of man, before turning brown again.

The birth of a white male buffalo means men need to take responsibility for their families and the future of the tribe, Hand said.

The odds of a white buffalo are at least 1 in a million, said Jim Matheson, assistant director of the National Bison Association. Buffalo in general have been rare for years, thought their numbers are increasing, with some 250,000 now in the U.S., he said.

Many people, like Heider, choose to raise the animals for their meat, which is considered a healthier, low-fat alternative to beef.

Gary Adamson, 65, of Elkhorn, who is of Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, said tribal elders will help interpret the animal's significance.

"There are still things that need to be done, and Miracle's task wasn't quite done yet, and we feel there's something there," he said.

Widow rented rotary phone for 42 years, paying more than $14,000

Widow rented rotary phone for 42 years, paying more than $14,000


(9/15/06 - CANTON, OH) - A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now outdated phone.

Ester Strogen, 82, of Canton, first leased two black rotary phones -- the kind whose round dial is moved manually with your finger -- in the 1960s. Back then, the technology was new and owning telephones was unaffordable for most people.

Until two months ago, Strogen was still paying AT&T to use the phones -- $29.10 a month. Strogen's granddaughters, Melissa Howell and Barb Gordon, ended the arrangement when they discovered the bills.

"I'm outraged," Gordon said. "It made me so mad. It's ridiculous. If my own grandmother was doing it, how many other people are?"


New Jersey-based Lucent Technologies, a spinoff of AT&T that manages the residential leasing service, said customers were given the choice option to opt out of renting in 1985. The number of customers leasing phones dropped from 40 million nationwide to about 750,000 today, he said.

"We will continue to lease sets as long as there is a demand for them," Skalko said.

Benefits of leasing include free replacements and the option of switching to newer models, he said.

Gordon said she believes the majority of people leasing are elderly and may not realize they are paying thousands of dollars for a telephone.

Skalko said bills are clearly marked, and customers can quit their lease any time by returning their phones.

Strogen says she's not a big fan of her new push-button phone.

"I'd like to have my rotary back," she said. "I like that better."

Charges Dropped Against Traveler With Penis Pump

Charges Dropped Against Traveler With Penis Pump

POSTED: 7:13 am CDT September 14, 2006

CHICAGO -- All charges have been dropped against a man who said an airport security guard mistakenly thought he said he had a bomb in his backpack.

Mardin Amin, 29, has said he told a guard at O'Hare International Airport that the object was a "pump" -- for his penis. But his attorney has said that the guard misunderstood Amin as saying it was a "bomb."

Amin's attorney also said that he whispered to the guard because he was traveling with his mother and didn't want to be embarrassed in front of her, since he was carrying a sexual device.

Amin had been charged with felony disorderly conduct and faced up to three years in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors chose to follow the lead of the Transportation Safety Administration, which recently concluded that the matter did not warrant prosecution, said Cook County state's attorney spokesman John Gorman.

Man Arrested for Huffing Freon

From Tampa Bay's 10 News - Tampa / St. Petersburg

Man arrested for huffing Freon

Sarasota, Florida -- Police in Sarasota have arrested a man accused of getting high by huffing Freon from an AC unit.

Officers were called to the 1100 block of Villagio Circle Wednesday morning to investigate a report of a suspicious man lying on the ground near the air conditioning units.

Officers located the man and found him to be very unstable on his feet and uncoordinated in manner.

The man, 40-year-old Timothy Alan Bennett, told the officers that he was fixing the air conditioner. Further investigation by the officers revealed a hose attached to an outlet on the unit which released the A/C refrigerant Freon.

The officers eventually found that the subject had been stealing the Freon from the units by inhaling it. He told police that it made him “high”.

The area was further inspected and it was discovered that a total of 31 A/C units were empty of Freon. Replacement cost of Freon is approx. $100 per unit.

Bennett was arrested and charged with criminal mischief and inhalation of a harmful chemical substance.

79-year-old woman charged with trying to rob Chicago bank with toy gun

79-year-old woman charged with trying to rob Chicago bank with toy gun

CHICAGO - A 79-year-old South Side woman bearing a toy gun and a visor that read "Princess" has been charged with trying to rob a downtown bank.

Melvena Cooke was charged Wednesday with attempted bank robbery. She is free on $4,500 bond and was released into her daughter's custody.

Cooke walked into the Bank of America branch Tuesday morning and told a teller that she'd just come from the dentist and could only speak quietly, according to an FBI affidavit.

As the teller leaned in, Cooke whispered a demand for $30,000 and brandished a gun that turned out to be a toy, the affidavit says. Instead of handing over any money, however, the teller triggered a silent alarm and walked away.

Cooke left empty-handed after several minutes and then ducked into a nearby store, where she was arrested.

Officials said Cooke was dressed for the attempted heist in a black trench coat, sunglasses and a white "Princess" visor.

She faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, according to the U.S. attorney's office.

Fleet Footed Suspect Done in by Baggy Pants

Fleet footed suspect done in by baggy pants


(9/10/06 - SALINAS, CA) - Police in California say a fleet footed suspect's escape attempt was foiled when the man's baggy pants fell to his ankles and tripped him up.

The California Highway Patrol says 37-year-old Johnny Camel tried to run from police after a traffic stop in Salinas, California, Friday. But police say Camel was wearing jeans that were about four sizes too big.

Police say Camel also wasn't wearing underwear under the loose jeans.

The CHP says an increasing number of foot pursuits are ending quickly because suspects can't run and hold their pants up at the same time.

Police say Camel is on parole after a recent release from prison. A conviction for resisting arrest could send him back to jail.

He Didn't Know he was Concealing a Knife?

Yemeni held on weapons charge
He carried knife at Metro, cops say

The FBI is investigating the case of a 21-year-old Hamtramck man with a one-way ticket to Yemen who, according to officials, tried to board a plane at Metro Airport with a knife hidden in a phone book.

Mohammed Ghanem, a native of Yemen, remains in the Wayne CountyJail after a Romulus judge set a $500,000 bond on Saturday.

Ghanem was stopped Thursday by Detroit Metro security officials in the Transportation Security Administration after they detected that he had a knife "artfully concealed" in a book, said airport spokesman Michael Conway.

Someone had carved out the inside of the phone book, and placed the knife inside it, said Ghanem's attorney, Nabih Ayad. "He said he didn't know where the knife came from," Ayad said. Ghanem was on his way to Yemen to get married, he said.

On Saturday, Ghanem was arraigned in Romulus District Court on a felony charge of having a weapon in the area of an airport. If convicted, he could receive 10 years in prison.

One concern among officials is that the man had a one-way ticket to Yemen, Conway said.

Ghanem was born in Yemen and is a legal permanent resident of the United States, Ayad said. He works as a busboy in a coney island in metro Detroit.

Ghanem lives in Hamtramck with family members, some of whom have been questioned by the FBI, Ayad said.

According to Ayad, it appeared that the cover of the phone book was torn off. Someone then cut out a section, slipped in the knife, and replaced the cover.

Police Chief May Lose Job Over Wife's Nude Pics

Police Chief May Lose Job Over Wife's Nude Pics


SNYDER, Okla. -- An Oklahoma police chief's job is in jeopardy and his town is in an uproar because of his wife's profession.

Snyder Police Chief Tod Ozmun and his wife, Doris, live in Snyder, just west of Lawton. However, the chief's wife is known worldwide for her work as a plus-sized model on a pornographic Web site.

Officials said the Snyder mayor is requesting an investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Technically, the mayor cannot request an OSBI investigation. However, the district attorney's office can, and officials said the focus of any such investigation would be to determine whether city computers were used for the pictures and if that violates the city's charter.

"This came to light because some of the people in town went onto the Internet to download pictures of her and started passing them out around the citizens here in town," said Mayor Dale Moore.

Moore said he's trying to decide what's best for Snyder -- to keep a chief who many believe doesn't share their morals or to fire a man who's keeping residents safe.

"He's done more drug arrests, solved more crimes than anybody else in town has ever done," Moore said.

Resident Bryan Norton said he wants the chief fired.

"When our kids come home from school telling us that the chief's wife is a porno queen, how do you answer that?" said Norton.

Office Manager Charged in Plot to Frame Boss

Office manager charged in plot to frame his boss
Child-porn images found on computer

By Carlos Sadovi
Tribune staff reporter
Published August 30, 2006

An office manager at a West Side hospital who was trying to "get back at his boss" downloaded child pornography on his supervisor's computer, then reported the images to police, authorities said.

The would-be whistle-blower, Maurice Vallejo, admitted to investigators that he was upset that his supervisor had spurned his advances and that he retrieved the images off the Internet himself, Assistant State's Atty. Kathleen Muldoon said at Vallejo's bail hearing Tuesday.

Vallejo, 36, of the 6300 block of North Kedvale Avenue, was arrested Monday at his workplace, Advocate Bethany Hospital, and charged with felony possession of child pornography, according to a police report.

Cook County Judge Thomas Hennelly set bail for Vallejo at $75,000 and gave him a Sept. 11 court date.

Vallejo allegedly contacted police May 18 to report finding child pornography on his male boss' machine, Muldoon said.

Police executed a search warrant June 5, seized the computer and found on its hard drive hundreds of images of young boys --infants and other youths under the age of 18--engaged in various sex acts, Muldoon said.

An investigation determined Vallejo had downloaded the images "to get back at his boss because there wasn't, nor would ever be, a sexual relationship with his boss," Muldoon said.

She did not elaborate, nor would she detail how police determined who downloaded the images

A spokesman for Advocate Bethany Hospital could not be reached for comment.

Defense attorney Scott Levy said in court that his client has a master's degree in education.

Outside court, Levy disputed the allegations, saying: "We believe that the defendant will be found not guilty. The charges should be dismissed."

Muldoon said after the hearing that this was not the first time in her experience someone had tried to use the Internet to try to get his or her boss in trouble.

"It's not the first, but it's not a common scenario," she said.

Crocodile Hunter Killed

Reports: Stingray kills 'Crocodile Hunter'

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/09/04/australia.irwin/index.html



SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- Steve Irwin, the Australian TV presenter known as the "Crocodile Hunter," has died after being stung in a marine accident off Australia's north coast.

Australian media reports say Irwin was diving in waters off Port Douglas, north of Cairns, when the incident happened on Monday morning.

Irwin was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest, according to Cairns police sources. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary at the time.

Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality Monday morning off Port Douglas, according to Australian media.

Queensland Police Services also confirmed Irwin's death and said his family had been notified. Irwin, 44, was director of the Australian Zoo in Queensland.

He is survived by his American-born wife Terri and their two children, Bindi Sue, born 1998, and Robert (Bob), born December 2003.

Irwin became a popular figure on Australian and international television through Irwin's close handling of wildlife, most notably the capture and relocation of crocodiles.

Irwin's enthusiastic approach to nature conservation and the environment won him a global following. He was known for his exuberance and use of the catchphrase "Crikey!"

But his image suffered a setback in January 2004 when he held his then one-month-old baby Bob while feeding a crocodile at his Australian zoo.

In a statement released to Australian media, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer expressed his sorrow and said that he was fond of Irwin and was very appreciative of all the work he had done in promoting Australia overseas.

In 2003, Irwin spoke to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.'s Australian Story television program about how he was perceived in his home country.

"When I see what's happened all over the world, they're looking at me as this very popular, wildlife warrior Australian bloke," he said, the ABC reported.

"And yet back here in my own country, some people find me a little bit embarrassing. "You know, there's this... they kind of cringe, you know, 'cause I'm coming out with 'Crikey' and 'Look at this beauty'."



 

Wife Runs Over Husband Sleeping in Driveway

Wife Runs Over Husband Sleeping In Driveway

ROGERS, Ark. -- An Arkansas man who fell asleep in his driveway woke up when his wife came home and turned into the driveway to park the car and ran over him.

Kristine Bolson told the Benton County Sheriff's Office that she drove into her driveway shortly after midnight Tuesday and heard a loud cracking sound. She said that when she got out of her vehicle, she heard moaning and found her husband, Richard Gonzalez, on the ground near her vehicle. Bolson said she did not initially see her husband in the driveway.

A sheriff's reports said Gonzales told them he had been drinking and he must have passed out. He was treated at a hospital for scratches and bruises.
