Bizarre News - February 21, 2015
Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Most people would consider waking up, still drunk, in a box at a landfill with no recollection of what happened, the conclusion of a very bad night. But on the other hand, this story happened in Texas, so...
The woman in question was found alive in a box at a dump in Irving, Texas Saturday morning, nine miles from where she had last been seen.
She was spotted by a passerby, who saw what was believed to be a half naked woman's body in a box near the entrance to the dump around 9 a.m.
Police say the woman was with a friend at a nightclub several hours earlier.
The woman needed help getting to her car, so a man offered to help while the woman's friend got their car. Both were gone when her friend got back with their car. That's when the woman's friend called Dallas Police and reported her missing.
Irving Police say the woman was very drunk when they found her.
Initial exams showed no signs of sexual assault. The woman said she doesn't remember how she ended up at the landfill.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Police brutality accuser caught on camera punching own face --*
EUGENE, Ore. (UPI) - Oregon authorities have released a video of a man who claimed to have been assaulted by detectives punching himself in the face in his jail cell. The Lane County Sheriff's Office said Aleksander Robin Tomas-zewski, 33, claimed to have been physically assaulted by detectives Jan. 9 while being questioned on charges of including stalking and first-degree sexual abuse, but deputies reviewed security tapes from the county jail and saw Tomas-zewski repeatedly punch himself in the face to give himself black eyes. Sgt. Carrie Carver, a sheriff's office spokeswoman, said Tomas-zewski appeared to strike himself in the face 45 times in the four-minute video. Tomas-zewski pleaded guilty to attempted coercion and filing a false report in connection with the incident. He was sentenced to 20 days in jail for each charge Feb. 10, but was released with credit for time served. He was also sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to pay $600 in fines.
* Maryland man plows snow with motorized toilet *
BETHESDA, Md. (UPI) - A Maryland man is clearing snow from Bethesda's sidewalks with a snowplow attached to an unusual vehicle -- a motorized toilet. David Goldberg, owner of the Union Hardware store, said he created the motorized commode, dubbed "Loo-cille" or "Loo-cy" for short, for last summer's pride parade, and he is taking his hybrid vehicle out of the garage once again to clear snow from sidewalks. "This is Loo-cy. Our motorized toilet that we did this summer for the pride parade. We just added a snow plow and [we're] ready for tomorrow morning's snow," Goldberg said in sending a picture of the toilet plow to WUSA-TV. Goldberg posted a video of the motorized toilet moving snow to YouTube. "Taking something very private and making it a spectacle is a jolt to the system by itself. But having it plow snow... Over the top!" he wrote in the video's description. Goldberg said the toilet has a hybrid engine. "I have not had to start the engine yet, but it is there after a long day if needed," Goldberg wrote on YouTube. "I do have duel exhaust mounted for show. It's all about the looks and fun."
*-- READER COMMENTS --*
I dated a woman that liked to argue after a night of drinking, personally I believe arguing ruins a good buzz and should be postponed until the next day. One night, she is wanting to stay up and argue while I'm trying to ignore her and go to sleep. In a minute I hear a universal sound that everyone knows when they hear it (even if you've never heard it before, I think it's a preservation thing)... a shell being racked into a 12 gauge shotgun. I open my eyes and she's standing at the foot of the bed saying, "I just wanted to get your attention." I said, "You have my attention, start talking while I get dressed." I was home in my bed in 20 minutes. And what is this bat-sh*t crazy woman's occupation? 7th grade math teacher.
[
That is quite a story, and while I 100 percent agree and sympathize with your reaction to that situation, I have to admit that would get me a tiny, little bit aroused, too.]
