Pair Spared Jail For Catching Teenage Intruder And Dangling Him...
All James Wall wanted to do was to take a last photo of his car, which was due to be crushed.
But slipping unannounced into the car pound in the early hours probably wasn't the best thing the 17-year-old could have done. He was caught by staff - who decided to "teach him a lesson" by tying his hands and legs and then leaving him to dangle upside down from the arms of a forklift.

School Bus Driver Allegedly Asks Decoy for Sex
DETROIT (AP) - A Detroit school bus driver taking children to class is accused of trying to buy sex from an undercover officer posing as a streetwalker. Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans didn't identify the 30-year-old driver.
Evans said the man stopped twice Wednesday to talk with the officer posing as a prostitute. The first time he had one child aboard and the second time he had four children, ages 5 to 9 on the bus.
The sheriff said the driver gave the officer a paper with his phone number and told her he wanted to rendezvous after delivering the children. Instead, deputies arrested him and delivered the children themselves to McKenny Elementary School.
Man, 60, Sues Boy, 8, Over Ski Collision
VAIL, Colo. (AP) - A 60-year-old man is taking an 8-year-old boy and his dad to court, claiming the boy caused a ski-slope collision that left the older man with a shoulder injury.
David J. Pfahler of Allentown, Pa., sued in federal court in Denver, claiming Scott Swimm, then 7, was skiing fast and recklessly when they collided in January, the Vail Daily reported Thursday.
The suit claims Pfahler suffered a torn shoulder tendon and seeks compensation for physical therapy, vacation time, nursing and medical services provided by Pfahler's wife, and other expenses. It estimates the couple's losses at more than $75,000.
Scott's father, Robb Swimm, said that he saw the crash and that Scott was skiing slowly and in control.
Scott's mother, Susan Swimm, said her son weighs 48 pounds and couldn't have been going more than 10 mph.
"Who in the world sues a child?" she said. "It just boggles my mind every day."
Police Arrest 2 Cops For Keeping Confiscated Drugs
Undercover Officer's Wire Recordings Led To Arrests
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Two NYPD narcotics officers were arrested Wednesday for doing the opposite of what they were hired to do - the men are accused of pocketing drugs they were supposed to keep off the street. The officers were arrested and arraigned Wednesday evening. Prosecutors said the duo recovered 28 bags of cocaine in a September drug raid, but handed over only 17. The remaining 11 bags are still missing. Johnstone and Alvarez have been accused of intentionally keeping the drugs. The officers have been charged with falsifying records, offering a false instrument, and official misconduct. Johnstone and Alvarez were released without bail, and will be back in court on February 6th. Investigators are trying to determine where the whereabouts of the missing cocaine.
