Georgia dog eats $10,000 worth of diamonds
$10,000 worth of diamonds disappeared from an Albany, Georgia jewellery store, but they didn't have to go far to find them again. They quickly figured out it was an inside job, and recovered the jewels the next day. In fact, they didn't even have to call police. John Ross Jewellers is well-known in town for their four footed mascots. Tiffany and Velvet roamed the shop for years, and appeared in commercials. After their passing, Honey Bun now greets customers and as Chuck and Ann Roberts found out their new pup has expensive taste.
Honey Bun's not much of a guard dog, but is great on customer relations. "He's been loved," says Co-owner Chuck. Customers sometimes hide treats in their purses for Honey Bun, but the Roberts' recently learned this pampered pooch has more expensive taste. It happened two weeks ago when a customer came in.
"A customer came in, and I jumped up out of my chair and came out here to wait on him, and I left the chair where he could jump up on my chair, and jump up on my desk," said Roberts. On the desk four packs of loose diamonds, about a carat each to set in diamond earrings, pens, and dog treats. When he returned only three packs remained, and an empty pouch like this one was lying on the floor. "We looked all over and there weren't any diamonds, so immediately I knew he'd eaten them."
Since Honey Bun wasn't talking, there was only one way to find out. "She came down and took him across the street and we ran X-rays." Carbon doesn't show up on an X-ray, but two blank spots confirmed Honey Bun was a likely suspect. It only took a day, and they found another surprise. "The next afternoon sure enough the earring back and two diamonds were recovered, no panic."
Louisville man admits to drinking beer and having sex while driving
A Louisville man is facing multiple charges after police said he was having sex and drinking beer while driving. According to arrest records, Jeffersontown police officers saw a car driving recklessly on South Hurstbourne Parkway at about 1:13 a.m. on Wednesday.
Police said they saw 58-year-old George E. Howard drink from a can of beer while continuing to drive in a reckless manner. A female passenger was bent over with her head between Howard's legs, police said. Howard swerved multiple times, almost colliding with a curb and causing an accident, according to arrest records.
Police said that upon contact with Howard, he smelled strongly of alcohol, had glassy eyes, was confused and unsteady on his feet, and once out of the vehicle, Howard's pants fell to the ground. Howard told officers he was having sex while driving and had consumed alcohol, according to arrest records.
The female passenger was trying to hide beer in her dress, police said. Howard failed several field sobriety tests, police said. Howard was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving and second-degree wanton endangerment.
