25-year science project?
Who would ever suspect this science teacher would be so creepy?
Police in Tennessee said teacher Louis J. Levine gave marijuana and alcohol to teenagers at his house and installed an elaborate camera system to watch them have sex. Detectives recovered hundreds of homemade videotapes in his bedroom.
People who were teenagers as far back as the 1980s told police they had partied and had sex at Levine’s house. But didn’t know they were being videotaped.
A real cat burglar
It’s the purrfect crime: Jack, a 1-year-old cat, has been burglarizing neighbors’ homes and stealing their clothing.
Judy Waring, of northern Idaho, said Jack started sneaking out at night to steal neighbors’ clothes last October. Since then, Jack has brought in hats, shorts, underwear and 27 pairs of gloves. Waring doesn’t know who the items belong to so she’s hung them on a clothesline in front of her house for neighbors to claim.
His alibi was razor thin
An Arizona bank robbery suspect was busted after he left his disguise in plain sight.
According to police, the bearded thief fled on foot, but was seen entering a nearby home. When Mesa police knocked on the door, 30-year-old Apris Sifo showed up with shaving cream on his ear.
Police searched Sifo’s home and found a bag stuffed with money, three notes with “I want your money” written on them, and 26 pounds of marijuana.

The accidental fugitive
When Florida inmate Michael Howarth walked away from his prison job, he didn’t realize he’d end up being an escapee.
Howarth told the Orlando Sentinel that he just wanted to sneak away from the water-treatment plant to meet a female pen pal for about 20 minutes and then come back.
But Howarth got stuck in a mud bog for about 20 minutes and he knew then he would lose the nine years off for good behavior he had accumulated over the previous 17 years. So decided to make a run for it. He crawled “like Rambo” through a winery, found a mildewy pair of shorts and shirt to wear and just kept walking.
Two days later, Howarth was picked up by police while trying to hitchhike.
He was covered in dirt. He first gave the officer a false name, then dropped his head and said, “OK, I’m Michael Howarth, and I’m supposed to be at the prison,” according to the cop.
Before his escape, Howarth had three years left for grand theft and burglary. Now, he’s looking at 24 more.
“Life’s full of bad decisions,” Howarth said. “Some people just pay more.”
Don’t mess with Texas
Is this really news?
A Texas woman started a brawl at a wake in Arkansas when she arrived with a beer can in her hand.
Deputies say Anna Singular, 52, arrived at the Christies Chapel Church with a beer can in hand and that she refused to leave.
Sindelar grabbed a man by the face, scratching his lower right cheek and causing him to bleed, police said. The man’s mother jumped in, slapping Sindelar and kicking another woman in the chest.
When deputies showed up, Sindelar claimed that “no backwood country cop” was going to take her to jail. The deputies disagreed. Sindelar was charged with domestic battery.
