Bizarre News - June 27, 2015

Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Sure, kids can be demanding. What parent hasn't had a child threaten to hold their breath unless they get the toy they want? But the teen in today's story is having a tough time letting go of the apron strings.

This Alabama teenager was arrested after authorities say he followed through on a bizarre threat to kill his mother's chickens unless she mended the relationship between him and his girlfriend.

Haden Smith, 18, was charged with domestic violence third degree and criminal mischief. Deputies say the situation started when Smith texted his mother, threatening to kill one of her chickens every 15 minutes until she contacted his girlfriend's parents and attempted to mend their broken relationship.

Although I don't think this would be the first time Haden has choked the chicken.

Deputies claim Smith gave his mother a deadline of noon before he started to kill the chickens. They also say he threatened to burn his mother's house down, kill any deputies that arrived on the scene, and kill himself.

Odd that his girlfriend should have left him.

He then began sending his mother picture messages of each chicken he killed at 15-minute intervals, killing six in total before he was arrested, deputies say.

There's no word on Smith's current relationship status. A barbecue is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- 16 different police departments respond to wedding brawl in Pennsylvania --*
ONATELAUNEE TOWNSHIP, Pa. (UPI) - More than a dozen different police departments in a southeastern Pennsylvania county responded to a wedding brawl that grew violently out of control Monday night, according to reports. Police arrested seven people -- including the groom -- during the altercation in Ontelaunee Township, which reportedly began over a guest letting her 14-year-old son drink alcohol. Officers from Northern Berks Regional Police were the first on scene, but they called for reinforcements after guests, some shirtless and bloodied, threatened them. Police from 16 different departments across Berks County responded and attempted to control the crowd. Police say one guest was unfazed after an officer twice used a stun gun on him, and the groom, Nicholas Papoutsis, 31, reportedly challenged police to fight before being subdued and charged with disorderly conduct, interfering with the administration of law and public drunkenness. Emergency workers meanwhile treated his bride for alcohol poisoning and dehydration. The involved officers came from departments in Fleetwood, Hamburg, Penn State, Berks County, Wyomissing, Bern, Spring, Tilden, Reading and Muhlenberg, among other locations. Four officers from Northern Berks Regional and Muhlenberg Township reportedly sustained minor injuries in the incident and received medical treatment at Reading Hospital. Police say the 14-year-old boy in question blew a .16 percent blood-alcohol content and told officers he drank two beers. Those blowing a .08 percent BAC are considered legally drunk in the state of Pennsylvania. The Reading Eagle quoted Northern Berks Regional Police Chief Scott W. Eaken as saying, "Several people were trying to be a calming influence in all of this, but at that point, alcohol had taken over."


*-- Illegally parked car covered in Post-its to draw disability symbol --*
MARINGA, Brazil (UPI) - A man who parked in a disability accessible space without a placard in Brazil returned to find his car covered in Post-it notes to form the wheelchair symbol. A video posted to YouTube by Juliano Eduardo shows the car covered in blue and white sticky notes to draw the International Symbol of Access -- a stick figure in a wheelchair -- on the back and side of the vehicle after it was illegally parked in an accessible space in the city of Maringa. The car's driver can be seen in the video working to hurriedly clear the small sheets of paper from the windshield so he can drive away while members of the public gawk, laugh and shout jeers at him. The spectators include a man who appears to be a traffic police officer. The man eventually rolls down the driver's side window and speeds away, nearly getting into a collision while merging into traffic.

what did that woman with coke filled boobs plan to do if she got threw with out being stopped? sell the coke by breast feeding it to people? This could be a new way for us to get stoned. -John D
[You don't have any idea how breasts work, do you?]

Nice 'Campaign' movie line drop. Did you sit up all night on IMDB to come up with that?
[Not really. There are not a lot of movies that involve baby punching.]

Hey Lewis, at least Australians only punch their babies in the face. In the U.S. they hand grenade them, like in the Bizarre story you did a few months ago.
[Yeah, but that baby was resisting arrest. If you'd like to read that issue you can click the link below.]
