Couple accused of abusing man's elderly mother
A husband and wife in Florida were arrested earlier this week, accused of abusing the man's mother.
According to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, the investigation
began in September after deputies got a report of an 81-year-old woman
who was recovering at a rehabilitation center in Kissimmee.
The woman had told the deputies that she had fallen in her room and
asked her son, Raymond Southerland, for help multiple times. She said
she lost consciousness and woke up in a pool of blood.
Investigators say after some time, Southerland called for medical
assistance. Deputies say he originally didn't admit to harming her, but
said medication he takes causes him to black out.
According to doctors, the victim's injuries weren't consistent with a fall, but rather abuse. Detectives say after interviewing both Raymond and his wife, Debbie Southerland, they determined that the victim had been abused and felony warrants were issued. On Monday, both Raymond and Debbie Southerland were arrested and booked into the Osceola County Jail.

No bell on bicycle led to multitude of charges for man
A man riding a bicycle on a sidewalk in Edmonton, Canada, on Tuesday was
stopped by police because he didn’t have a bell on his bike.
After stopping the 25-year-old man, police said he gave them a fake name. He was then arrested for obstruction.
As he was being arrested, a knife fell out of his pants. Officers searched him and his backpack and found a sawed-off shotgun, drugs and trafficking paraphernalia.
The man is now facing 18 charges for weapons, trafficking, obstruction and breaching conditions. He was also given a ticket for riding a bicycle without a bell.

Man Breaks Into Ranch House, Feeds Pets, Makes Dinner, Writes In Diary
What would you think if you
came home to find a burglar still hanging out in your house, kicking
back watching TV like he owns the place?
The ranch house residents who found Christopher Hiscock sitting on their couch sipping coffee probably
thought the worst too, but then they discovered Christopher was no
ordinary burglar, because he was born to be a rancher.
He
had fed the cat, given the horses some hay, and basked in the glory of a
sleepover on the ranch, which he described in this entry he added to
the resident's diary:
"Today was my first full day at the ranch. I fed the cats and horses. So much I can do here I have to remind myself to just relax and take my time. I don't feel alone here, I guess with 2 cats and 3 horses it's kinda hard to be alone. Last night I had a fire in the house. It was so (peaceful). I slept like a little baby. I saw a picture in the basement on the wall of a man holding and weighing fish on a boat. Looking at him I think we look a lot alike, but I think I'm more handsome."
Christopher was placed on a one-year
probation for his crime, which he strangely feels is a small price to
pay for a glorious day spent living that ranch life. Maybe he needs to
get a cat?

Inquiry into why Russia shopping mall bear was shot dead by police
Police in Russia's far east have shot dead a wild bear that wandered around a closed shopping mall.
The bear entered the mall in Khabarovsk, near the Chinese border, on Tuesday night and barged out of a door.
Police then shot it dead in the playground of a school before a veterinary worker arrived.
Government investigators said that they have now opened an inquiry, after "numerous requests" to do so, into why the animal was killed.
Security camera footage showed the bear running through empty corridors before pushing two doors open to escape. It was then shot dead by a camouflaged officer after running away from the mall.
