PEST CONTROL:The manager of the Best Maid Cookie Company’s plant in River Falls, Wisc., went bird hunting – inside the factory. He spotted one in the rafters, got on the floor, aimed and fired his rifle loaded with bird shot. He missed the bird, but allegedly hit an employee in the back of the head. The unnamed manager said later he didn’t know he had hit anyone and walked away. The injured employee says he kept working for about an hour since he wasn’t allowed to leave his machine unattended, and then reported the incident to the police. The manager has been charged with negligent handling of a dangerous weapon.

Taber Howland, 46, said he’d just recently made a purchase of a large number of shirts, and it was “probably” in the shirt pocket when he bought it. Skeptics that they are, police nevertheless took Howland to jail and booked him for drug possession. A similar case occurred in a neighboring town when a woman told St. Lucie County Sheriff’s investigators that the cocaine found in her pants must have been in there when she bought them at Wal-Mart.
