Teen texts prank
to police detective
ROGERS, Ark. (AP) — A northwest Arkansas teenager thought it would be funny to text a random phone number saying she hid a body, but the joke backfired.
The 15-year-old girl picked one that belonged to a police detective. Police found the girl’s address by tracing her cellphone number.
The prank? To text: “I hid the body … Now what?” to a random phone number. The teen said she got the idea for the prank from a posting on the website Pinterest. The girl was released with a warning.
Man ticketed after cat refuses to jog
LAFAYETTE, Colo. (AP) — Police have ticketed a man who is accused of tying his cat to a rock after the feline refused to go jogging.
Sgt. Fred Palmer says Seth Franco, 19, brought his cat on a leash to the path around Waneka Lake Park on Wednesday, but the cat was unable to keep up.
Witnesses told police that Franco secured the cat’s leash to a rock while he finished his run. Franco was ticketed on suspicion of “domestic animal cruel treatment,” a municipal offense. Palmer says an ordinance in the city “prohibits that kind of tethering.” The cat wasn’t injured.
