Bizarre News - October 31, 2015
Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Alcohol is a tricky thing. You have just enough and you are the life of the party, engaging in witty repartee, winning friends and charming the pants off of your romantic interest. Too much and you are breaking into strangers' houses and attempting to breast-feed their children.
Just ask Rebecca Silva.
After a night of drinking the 24-year-old apparently broke into a stranger's home and tried to breast feed a two-month-old child. The shocked mother was awoken by dogs and called 911.
The child's mother was able to safely take her daughter away, but that didn't keep Silva from making herself at home, crawling into bed and passing out.
When police arrived Silva was arrested and charged with unlawful occupancy. She denied the allegations, claiming she never tried to feed the infant and that she had been invited into the home, since she had met the mother the night before. Which sounds perfectly reasonable if you are 15 beers in.
The whole story makes a lot more sense when we find out that it happened in South Dakota where apparently the only thing that numbs the boredom are legendary amounts of alcohol and committing misdemeanors.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Dog 'ironically' named Trigger shoots hunter in the foot --*
AVILLA, Ind. - Authorities in Indiana said a dog "ironically and aptly named Trigger" stepped on his owner's hunting shotgun and shot her in the foot. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources said Allie Carter, 25, of Avilla was hunting waterfowl at Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area Saturday when she set her 12-gauge shotgun on the ground by her feet. The DNR report said Carter's 10-year-old chocolate Labrador, "which is ironically and aptly named Trigger," then stepped on the gun, causing it to fire. Carter was taken to a local hospital with injuries to her left foot and toes. She was transferred to a hospital in Fort Wayne and later released. "It was just an accident that occurred and just to serve as a stark reminder of some of the safety measures we should take," Indiana Conservation Officer Jonathon Boyd told WBND-TV. Boyd said Carter had not completed a hunting safety course. He recommended all hunters complete one of the DNR's free courses.
*-- Prosecutor suspended for pulling gun on fake spiders --*
LOGAN, W.Va. - An assistant prosecutor in West Virginia is on indefinite suspension for allegedly pulling a gun in his office over some fake spider Halloween decorations. Logan County Prosecutor John Bennett said assistant prosecutor Chris White, who has been with the office four more than five years, was suspended Wednesday in connection with the Oct. 5 incident. "I never saw it coming, that's for sure. Obviously, I wouldn't have even hired him if I had seen it coming. And the fact that he's been there five years and we haven't had any incidents like this also, to me, is a pretty good indication it's certainly out of the ordinary," Bennett told WCHS-TV. Bennett said the incident took place after secretaries in the office put up Halloween decorations, including several fake spiders. "He said they had spiders everyplace and he said he told them it wasn't funny, and he couldn't stand them, and he did indeed get a gun out. It had no clip in it, of course they wouldn't know that, I wouldn't either if I looked at it, to tell you the truth," Bennett said. He said White only threatened to shoot the spiders and didn't point it at anyone in the office. "Quite naturally, the ladies were concerned, as I would have been. Anybody would be, I would think, with a gun no matter where it was," Bennett said. Bennett said he sent out a memo after the incident banning firearms from the office. Police said the incident remains under investigation, but no charges are expected at this time.

I noticed all three of your stories came from California. Are we Californians really that bizarre? -Chris
[
They are fairly bizarre, but no more than Florida; and that's saying something.]
Should someone clue the police to check the hot dog factory? -Alton
[
No. Now, if it were a doughnut factory...]
Oh, I get it...a leg is stolen from One LEGacy. Where do you source your comedy material, The Onion? -Rick
[
No, but I do enjoy the humor that is provided by The Onion. It has a lot of layers.]
A story about human DNA in hot dogs followed by a story about a missing human leg from an organ donation van. Hmmm, sounds like something is afoot. -Greg
[
Hey, this is Bizarre News, not The Daily Groaner. But that was a good one.]
