Woman Reports Rape, Charged for having Sex outside of Marriage
A British woman who alleged that she was raped in Dubai on New Year’s Eve has had her passport confiscated and may face a jail sentence after she was charged with having sex outside marriage with her fiancé.
The 23-year-old woman, a Muslim from London, of Pakistani origin, said that she was attacked by a man who is understood to be a worker in the hotel where she had been drinking with her fiancé to celebrate their engagement during a three-day holiday in Dubai.
When she reported to the police that she had been raped, she and her partner, 44, were themselves jailed for sex outside marriage, which is illegal under the emirate’s laws. Unmarried couples are not allowed to share hotel rooms or live together, although many establishments turn a blind eye. The couple was also charged with being drunk outside licensed premises.

Man Breaks Into Jail
A Brevard County Florida judge has found a Cocoa man guilty of violating his probation by trying to break into the county jail.
Authorities say 25-year-old Sylvester Jiles, who was convicted Thursday, tried to climb a 12-foot fence at the Brevard County Detention Center in August. He was caught and hospitalized with severe cuts from the barbed wire. He had been released a week earlier after accepting a plea deal on a manslaughter charge.
Jiles had begged jail officials to take him back into custody because he feared retaliation from family members of his victim. The officials said they couldn't take him in and told him to file a police report.
Jiles faces 15 years in prison for trespassing and resisting an officer.

12-year-old Allegedly Robs Convenience Store with Toy Gun
A 12-year-old boy from Defuniak Springs, Florida has been arrested after allegedly pointing what turned out to be a toy gun at a convenience store clerk in northern Florida.

After handing him an undisclosed amount of money, the clerk told deputies the boy said thank you and left.

Naked jogger nabbed near White House
Secret Service officials in Washington said a naked jogger was arrested near the White House and a suspicious package was found to be his clothes.
Malcolm Wiley, a spokesman for the Secret Service, said the man apparently shed his clothes at about 5 p.m. Wednesday and left them in a bag near an intersection while he jogged.

County cracks down on bikini baristas
A Washington State County has passed new regulations requiring baristas at coffee stands to strip down no further than their bikinis while at work.
The strengthened lewd conduct ordinance in Snohomish County came after neighbors of numerous coffee stands complained about bikini-clad baristas in nothing but thongs and pasties flashing customers and simulating sex acts in public view.
Servers at some coffee stands that follow the revealing clothing business model complained the new regulations will reduce their clientele.
Workers at Lady Bug Latte said they expect customers to flee across the street to the Cowgirls Espresso, which is located in King County and therefore not subject to the new rules.
"I mean, guys will drive here, take one look at us, and look us up and down. Then we'll watch them go across the street, and you know that's all they want," barista Tristina Lochmann said.
Some cities within the country, including county seat Everett, are exempt from the strengthened regulations due to local ordinances

Swiss court fines millionaire $290,000
A Swiss millionaire has been handed down a record speeding fine of $290,000 (£180,000) by a court.
The man was reportedly caught driving a red Ferrari Testarossa at 137km/h (85mph) through a village.
The penalty was calculated based on the unnamed motorist's wealth - assessed by the court as $22.7m (£14.1m) - and because he was a repeat offender.
It is more than double Switzerland's previous record speeding fine - handed to a Porsche driver in Zurich in 2008.
In the latest case, the motorist was clocked speeding 57km/h (35mph) faster than the limit, according to the cantonal court in St Gallen, eastern Switzerland.
"The accused ignored elementary traffic rules with a powerful vehicle out of a pure desire for speed," the court said in its judgment.
Swiss media reported that the man owns a villa with five luxury cars, including the Ferrari.

Man steals $50, flees on Wal-Mart scooter
A Pennsylvania man in a hospital gown stole $50 from his ex-girlfriend at Wal-Mart, and then tried to flee on a store-owned motorized shopping scooter.

David was still in a hospital gown Tuesday night when he met an ex-girlfriend who agreed to pay for his prescription medication. Instead, police say he grabbed $50 from her and scooted away.

Iowa Man Spells Out Wife's Birthday Message in Manure
ZWINGLE, Iowa - Ask this Iowa wife if she got the perfect birthday present and she'll tell you her hubby "dung good."Carole and Dick Kleis live together on their eastern Iowa farm. This year for her birthday, Dick used more than 120,000 pounds of manure to spell out a special message. It basically says 'Happy Birthday, Love You,' but in shorthand.
And it only took three hours to spell it all out in a stinky, but mushy way.
"It's not hard," said Kleis. "Any manure will work but the good, soft, gushy, warm stuff works the best. It kind of melts the snow."
Carole say Dick's birthday is in May and she's already thinking of ways to beat out his gift.
