Aug 16th, 2010 at 1:30PM:
As you know, I've been following the story of flight-attendant-turned-runaway Steven Slater closely. What started as the quirky, though dangerous, reaction of a man pushed too far has become a bit more complicated. Slater's message board activity has shown his likely instability, his own words tell that he's been planning this for a while and it's becoming increasingly likely that he lied about ...
Six Flags employees booted for pounding Porky Pig
Jul 15th, 2010 at 2:00PM: Oink. Oink. Ouch.
Two off-duty Six Flags Great America employees were tossed from the park after they were seen beating the bacon out of a female coworker dressed as Porky Pig. According to Gurnee, Illinois Police Sgt. Jon Ward, the two perps posed for a picture with their 24-year-old swine-shrouded colleague before hitting her in the head between 10 and 15 times.
Park security pinched the ...Accusations traded between police and detainees in Antigua
Sep 11th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Six Carnival cruise ship passengers hit and choked the police. Or, the police punched the passengers in the face. A week after the half dozen New Yorkers were arrested, the only thing that's clear is that both sides say they're right.
While on a 10-hour port call in Antigua, the cruise passengers paid a taxi driver to give them a tour of the island. The tour ended at a beach – rather than ...Carnival cruise passengers spend weekend in Antigua ... in jail
Sep 9th, 2009 at 8:30AM: It looks like Carnival could use some new passengers. Not even a week after banning a family for life – and then reversing the ban – six passengers on one of its ships have been detained in Antigua. Now, if you're going to get stuck someplace, Antigua isn't bad, but I'd rather be in a resort than involved with the criminal justice system – it just seems more fun.
Dolores Lalanne, ...San Diego homeless man gets 14 years for beating, burning Aussie tourist
May 28th, 2009 at 6:00PM: Damian Maple, a homeless man in San Diego, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for beating an Australian tourist, Robert Schneider, with a skateboard and dragging him into a fire pit. Maple went down for attempted murder for attacking the 26-year-old Adelaide resident in 2008.
Maple's accomplice, Francisco Montoya, was sentenced to two years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon. Montoya is ...Drunk mailman threatens mayhem, grounded for half decade
May 4th, 2009 at 7:30PM: Why is it always the postmen?
Robert Russell had added "former" to his "mail carrier" title after being laid off by Royal Mail. So, he took a trip to Malaga, Spain. This isn't unusual; plenty of people do something nice for themselves after losing their jobs. It's great for morale.
It didn't work.
Russell got wasted on lager and vodka in the Gatwick departure lounge. By the time he was ...Flight crew tasty, but off-limits
May 3rd, 2009 at 4:00PM: Man bites dog? Well, woman bites fight attendant (or tries to, at least).
A Russian-born British woman will be spending the weekend in a Maine jail this weekend. She's accused of having popped some prescription drugs and washed them down with a few bottles of wine and – you can't make this stuff up – liquid soap from the plane's lavatory.
Amazingly, she had the energy to rumble ...
