Small Bits of News You Didn’t Know you Needed

Nebraska's 'Butt Bandit' suspect faces charges
Ten misdemeanor counts have been filed against a man Cherry County authorities believe is the vandal some townspeople have dubbed the "Butt Bandit."
Cherry County Attorney Eric Scott said that on Tuesday he filed nine counts of public indecency and one count of disturbing the peace against 35-year-old Tom Larvie, of Valentine. All are misdemeanors.
Larvie is suspected of leaving greasy, graphic imprints of his naked behind, and sometimes his groin, on the windows of stores, churches and schools in Valentine since the spring of 2007.
The marks were made with lotion or petroleum jelly.
Scott said Larvie was caught in the act by police early Wednesday morning.

Fake traffic stops on YouTube lead to arrests
Two men from Sparta, Wisconsin are accused of outfitting a 1997 Lincoln with red and blue flashing lights, using it to make fake traffic stops - and then posting video of themselves doing it on YouTube.
An anonymous tip led Monroe County sheriff's detectives to the online video last Thursday.
On Monday, charges of being party to false imprisonment, impersonating an officer and disorderly conduct were filed against 20-year-old Cody Hobson and 21-year-old Ronald Lyons, both of Sparta.
According to a criminal complaint, two motorists were stopped Nov. 18, but the men didn't make contact with either driver, and a third stop was attempted. During one stop, one of the men remarked that, "No matter how many times we do this, this (expletive) never gets old."

DUI suspect strips when asked to remove her shoes
How drunk was she?
So plastered that when a cop asked her to remove her shoes, she stripped naked.
First, the 41-year-old Ocala woman was taken to the Marion County Jail on suspicion of driving under the influence.
The cop said she told Tina M. Boggess, a Holiday Inn Travel employee, to remove her shoes while she was in the holding area.
Instead, the woman unzipped her pants, pulled them down and began removing her clothing.
The cop said Boggess had to hold onto the wall to take off her clothes because she could not maintain her balance.
Boggess took a breath test and blew an estimated blood alcohol level of .157 and a .151, nearly twice he state's legal limit for driving.
She was taken to jail because a deputy clocked her doing 82 in a 40 mph zone.
Boggess was driving erratically when she was pulled over.
She reportedly told the deputy she had drunk three or four beers.
She also reportedly told him, "I know I've been drinking, but I'm not [expletive] up."
Yeah, right.
