Man tries to use his feet as brakes

A 24-year-old Detroit-area man who tried using his feet to stop a runaway pickup truck with faulty brakes caused multiple collisions and exhibited "moronic decision making," a Roseville police official said.

After the vehicle's brakes failed on a busy street in Roseville, just north of Detroit, the man continued driving and stuck his feet outside the truck to stop it, Roseville Deputy Police Chief James Berlin said. .

Witnesses said the man reached speeds of about 40 mph and wasn’t able to stop the truck on at least two occasions. The truck eventually struck four vehicles.

He struck two vehicles after being unable to stop at a red light, and continued on. An officer who pulled next to the man's car told him to shift into "park," but that didn't work and he rolled into two other vehicles before the truck stopped.

"He said he was going to fix the brakes when he got home," Berlin said.

Judge who demands punctuality but often he’s late

A Canadian judge with zero tolerance for lateness in his Toronto-area court has a poor record of returning to the bench on time.

Last month, Justice Howard Chisvin of the Ontario Court in Newmarket threw out 12 criminal cases when a Crown prosecutor was late in returning to court. Among the cases dismissed were people who had pleaded guilty and were awaiting sentencing.

Since that incident, prosecutors and defense attorneys have been lining up outside his courtroom doors before they open.

However, a reporter took a stopwatch to Chisvin's courtroom and discovered the judge has a poor record of punctuality.

The judge was late returning from every break, from a few seconds to as long as 19 minutes, 22 seconds.

After that lengthiest absence, he apologized to everyone who had been on time and cited a number of reasons he was running late.

Last laugh was on the store owner

When three men were found huffing nitrous oxide -- also known as laughing gas -- from balloons in a parking lot, officers were led to a store called Purple Haze, police said.

.

 .

That's because the huffing trio told investigators that the owner of Purple Haze sold them the painkilling substance and taught them how to sniff it from the balloons, said Sgt. Mike Fowler.

Nitrous oxide has several uses, including to numb pain from dental work, as well as for making whipped cream and in auto racing to speed combustion.

Two undercover Daytona Beach Shores investigators went to Purple Haze and asked to purchase nitrous oxide and the paraphernalia used to inhale it. At that point, the store owner, Yohan Cohen, gave the investigators instructions on how to use the paraphernalia to inhale the gas, Fowler said.

Police recovered $600 worth of nitrous oxide and paraphernalia from the shop, Fowler said.

Cohen and employee Aline Elakayam were arrested and charged with sale of harmful chemicals and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Woman awakes to strange teenager in bed

A Des Moines Iowa woman woke up to find a drunken teenager in her bed, police say.

Carla Kraninger, 47, of Des Moines woke up Monday to find someone in her bed with her, and initially thought it was her son. She quickly realized it was not her son and called police. Kraninger and her son tried to wake up the trespasser, but the teen was too intoxicated to respond.

Police said the youth, a Southeast Polk High School student, said he had a beer with some friends earlier and they dropped him off at what he believed to be his mother's house.

The teen, which had a blood-alcohol content of 0.115 at the time, was released to his mother and received a delayed referral on charges of trespass and public intoxication.

Who gets the $150,000 payout?

Shortly after a young inmate killed her prison guard husband, Julia Ann Hesson filed for survivor's benefits.

But the Ohio woman didn't expect the response from the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Office, a national program that dispenses death benefits to families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

The office denied Hesson's claim, saying another woman deserved the benefit award of more than $150,000.

That woman's name is Julie Keady Hesson. She's 41 and lives in St. Petersburg. She had been married to William Hesson, too. In fact, officials said, the two never divorced.

The Ohio woman, 29, is appealing the board's decision, and the intriguing case is now making its way through civil court in Pinellas County.
