The Supreme Court Case That Could Put Out The Hobby Lobby Fire
***
Do you smell that?
Those are the charred remains of the egregiously erroneous Hobby Lobby 'decision'.
Man arrested after being filmed by security cameras he is accused of stealing
Police say a man accused of stealing security cameras was caught on video, which led to his arrest.
Security cameras were recording as they were being ripped from the ceiling of the EZ laundromat in Louisville, Kentucky.
On March 9, a man began to check every corner of the empty laundromat.
"He kind of walked back in this area here. Looked back at the door.
There were a couple of cameras right over his head," Micah Reed, of EZ
Wash, said.Reed said the man was literally hanging on the cameras until they gave way. He wasn't using any tools. Reed said he left with four cameras. The last one he took near the front door was a decoy. Police said Thomas Stillwell, 35, was arrested.
Woman who blamed wrong-way driving on being Canadian had meth, marijuana and a cat
When Montreal native Valerie Helene Godbout, 33, was pulled over for
driving the wrong way in Orange County, Florida, she explained to an
officer that she lived in Canada. She then explained to the officer how
traffic worked in Canada and used it as an excuse for why she was
driving in the wrong direction.
The only problem was that in both Canada and the United States, citizens
drive on the right-hand side of the road.
"She tried to explain how traffic worked in Canada," Oakland police officer Charles Streetzel wrote in an arrest report. "After listening to her I explained that the roadway she had been traveling on operated under the same principles. At this time I noticed her eyes were bloodshot and she seemed to be confused," Streetzel wrote. The cooperative Ms Godbout was later charged with possession of marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia and booked into the Orange County Jail. A cat found in the car was turned over to Orange County Animal Services for "safe keeping."
The encounter happened just before 12:10am last Thursday. Streetzel was driving a police vehicle when a corporal in the passenger seat spotted the wrong-way driver run a red light. "In an attempt to prevent a head on collision with other vehicles, I made a U-turn and placed my vehicle in the path of all traffic," Streetzel wrote. "The vehicle heading east stopped, as well as the traffic heading westbound." Godbout followed Streetzel's orders and pulled off into a nearby parking lot, where she tried to explain why she was driving on the left side against the flow of traffic.
She told the officer she drove from Canada, stopped in New York and
Miami and was now heading to California.
Streetzel asked if she was on drugs. She glanced over at a small glass
container with a red rubber lid covered in jewels and said, "No,"
repeatedly.
"I could plainly see some sort of leafy substance in the container," the
officer wrote. He asked what was in it and she said, "Nothing! It's a
friend's. It's not mine."
She later said "it's weed" but it belonged to a friend.
After she got out of the vehicle, officers searched and found a bag with
substances later determined to be marijuana and meth.
The pet, Mia, was reclaimed by Godbout on Saturday when she was released
from jail after posting bond.
Man arrested following theft of vest from stuffed bear
A man suspected of stealing a custom-made vest from a stuffed bear was arrested on Saturday morning in Portland, Oregon.
The bear in question is a nearly life-sized stuffed animal that stands
guard over the Mont Bell store in downtown Portland. It wears a
bright-red vest, specially made to fit the bear's wide girth and thick neck.
But the bear was naked on Friday night, after 35-year-old Migual Farnca
allegedly took the vest and walked off with it, according to Portland
police.
Farnca is 6 feet tall with a slim build.
He was spotted walking across the Ross Island Bridge just before 10am on Saturday, wearing the vest. Officers arrested Farnca shortly after. He was booked into Multnomah County Jail and charged with theft. The bear, meanwhile, is once again wearing the vest.

Editorial Comment
Hello and well met.
We have returned to our regular schedule today after a week off.
We are glad to see we did not suffer and loss of readership while we were away.
We published yesterday's postings midday.
While preparing for the first games of the season last week we received and new book series from a fellow author to read and review prior to publication.
As any friend would do we immediately sat down to read the books.
Then, lo and behold, we looked up and it was 1am and we had missed our publication time for this blog.
We then made the decision to forgo publishing late and finish the first book.
This decision along with the schedule of the games over the weekend, along with the desire to spend the sunny days outdoors left us not blogging for a week.
We do wish to apologize to our readers for the abrupt departure and return, we promise to alert you when we will put a hold on blogging going forward.
Remember, as always ....

Police found heroin after suspect whispered 'I don't think they found all the stuff in the car'
State troopers in Massachusetts missed hundreds of baggies filled with
heroin during their first search of a car they stopped in Hatfield,
according to court documents.
On Feb. 17, Massachusetts State Police arrested Jordan Johnson, 26, of
Woodsville, N.H.; Ethan Richards, 26, of Woodsville, N.H., and Carrie
Tutsock, 24, of Haverhill N.H. after searching a car, owned by Tutsock,
that was pulled over for traveling at 11 mph above the speed limit.
After spotting a crack pipe sitting on the front passenger's thigh,
troopers searched the vehicle and found two additional crack pipes,
several baggies of heroin and crack cocaine, and a digital scale with
heroin residue on it, police reports said. Hypodermic needles were also
found on the car's floor.
Tutsock told police that she and the two men had just bought heroin and
they were heading home to New Hampshire. None of the three suspects
would say where, or from whom, they bought the drugs.
While transporting the suspects from state police barracks in Northampton to the Hampshire County Jail & House of Corrections, troopers allegedly heard Tutsock turn to Johnson and Richards and whisper, "I don't think they found all the stuff in the car." Shortly after, detectives returned to the car in question to conduct a second search, police reports said. Police came across a sealed Coca Cola can containing 230 baggies of heroin labelled "Alpha" on the car's floor police said.
Troopers also discovered three digital scales with white powder on them inside the trunk's spare tyre compartment. Troopers said the soda can is known as a "hide," which is used to conceal drugs, court documents said. Johnson, Tutsock and Richards were arraigned in Northampton District Court on Thursday and were each charged with possession with the intent to distribute a Class A drug. They are due back in court on May 4.

Woman hit husband with cooking pot before stabbing him for not getting out of bed
A woman is in jail after she attacked her common-law husband because he would not get out of bed, police said.
At about 12:30pm on Wednesday the 37-year-old man called police after he
had an argument with the woman at the apartment they share in Corpus
Christi, Texas.
When officers arrived he told them they had been fighting because he
would not get out of bed.
The man told officers the woman hit him on the head with a cooking pot, punched him in the face three times with her fist, then she grabbed a kitchen knife. The woman then allegedly stabbed the man in his left hand.
The man refused medical treatment and officers arrested Melinda Hinojosa, 39, on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Hinojosa remains in Nueces County Jail. Her bail was set at $30,000, jail officials said.

Police investigation determined that squirrel broke into home and turned on the television
A squirrel is being blamed for causing a breaking and entering investigation by police in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada.
The town's police service were called on Thursday evening to a property
after the caretaker discovered what she thought was a break-in.
The living quarters were in disarray, lamps were knocked over, picture frames lay on the floor, and the television was on.
An investigation revealed the culprit was a squirrel that had got into the home via the chimney, and ran through the residence, stepping on the remote control that turned on the television. Port Hope police officers ruled the breaking and entering to be unfounded.

Runaway pet piglet has set up home with flock of sheep next door and doesn't want to go home
A runaway pet piglet that thinks she's a sheep has set up home with the
flock next door, evading capture for almost two weeks.
Little Babe fled from her new home in Twynholm, Dumfriesshire, Scotland,
just moments after her owners' trailer parked up at the smallholding
they've just moved to.
And this little piggy does not want to go home, despite many attempts to
capture her.
Cat Galloway, 34, owner of the fugitive porker, said she has spent
"hours and hours" trying to catch her with the help of neighboring
farmer Willie McMorran, whose field she is hiding out in.
Cat said: "She escaped pretty much as soon as we got her home.
She has been out in the field with the sheep for 12 days now and we've
not stopped trying to get her back in.
We have tried rounding her up, cornering her, netting her and feeding
her but she's too fast and doesn't tire at all.
"She changes direction in a heartbeat and can run at you, then suddenly
change her mind. I've never known a pig like her."
Food is usually a sure fire way to get a pig's attention but Cat said
even waving cake and bananas under her snout isn’t luring Babe back to
her own farm.
She said: “Because of her age, she’s just left her mum so she's not had
much chance with people and food.
She's not aware yet that people feed her so she's not interested in
anything we offer.
From what I can see she's been eating on the road, eating whatever she
can find. She's definitely not daft, she knows where the food is."
And even a quad bike hasn’t managed to keep up with Babe’s little
trotters long enough to catch her.
Cat, husband Bill, and their four children moved to Glengap from the
village of Twynholm a year ago.
Cat said the countless attempts to capture the fugitive porker have left
everybody feeling “exhausted”. She said: "I've never worked as hard in my life. I feel like I've done a 50-mile cross country. Every muscle in my body aches. The kids have been trying non-stop to get her home. But they were so exhausted they have given up now.” This is the first time the Galloway family have owned pigs, picking up the three small Kunekune piglets on March 6. And Cat said it has definitely been more eventful than she expected. She said: "We didn't know they could run so fast. We wanted a small breed, similar to the pot belly, that would be good with children and animals. And we picked girls because they are generally more easy-going - not in this case though. I remember the breeder originally telling us she was the shy one, but she is wild. I've never seen anything like it before." She joked that the little pig knows she is outsmarting her owners.
