Sharks, fingers and tacos
Man accused of stealing shark from pet store
A New York man is accused of going fishing in a pet store aquarium - catching a $350 shark and smuggling it out under his jacket. Police say the bizarre shark heist took place Dec. 12 at Total Aquarium in Lynbrook. The man went up to the tank where the shark was swimming and “just grabbed it and put it into his jacket,” store employee Jared Goldenberg told the New York Post. “And then he just walked right out. It didn’t take long.” The Freeport man released the contraband shark into his home aquarium, where he also kept a green moray eel he had purchased for $300 with a stolen credit card from a different pet shop on Jan 2, police said. Police tracked down the man, a frequent patron of the pet stores, and arrested him Wednesday at his job as a food-service worker in Brooklyn, the Post reported. The 30-year-old suspect was expected to be arraigned on charges of grand larceny and petit larceny. The fish are being cared for at the pet shop where the eel was purchased.

Deltona teen jailed for hitting mom with taco
A 19-year-old Deltona man was sitting in jail today accused of attacking his mother with a taco, a booking officer said. Zachary Moir is charged with domestic violence battery and is being held on $1,500 bail, the booking officer said. Moir has been in jail since Tuesday when deputies arrested him for assaulting his mother, Dena Moir, a report states. Calls made to the mother were not returned. According to the report, Dena Moir called Volusia County sheriff’s deputies to her Bolger Court home at 5:17 p.m. Tuesday to report the incident. The mother told deputies that she had called her son to dinner and after several attempts to get him to come to dinner, she went upstairs to her son’s room and disconnected the xBox he was playing. The son called his mother a name and asked her to leave his room. Zachary Moir then came to eat while his mother was cleaning the kitchen and when she pushed him to get him out of the way, Zachary slapped her left arm, called her a "retard" and threw a taco in her face, the report said.

Dear "mother", you've done just a FABULOUS job raising a wonderful child there.
Shoplifter gets run over twice by getaway car
Cape Coral police are searching for a shoplifter who got away after being run over twice by her own getaway car!
According to police, on Tuesday a woman went into the T.J. Maxx on Del Prado Boulevard and stuffed six expensive purses down her pants. She then ran outside to her getaway car, but when she went to get in she fell out. She was then run over by the car. She then jumped onto the hood of the car, fell off, and got run over again!
Police say the woman, the car, and the purses took off down the street, but in all the commotion a personal check flew out of the car.
Police have checked the names and addresses connected to the check but so far no arrests.

Man cuts off finger in court over debt
A Portuguese businessman said he cut off one of his fingers in court with a butcher's knife in an "act of despair" after a judge refused his offer to settle a 170,000 euro debt and said part of his farm must be sold. "My intention was to tear up all the case papers and splatter them with blood so I could prevent the expropriation order for my land," Orico Silva was quoted as saying in local media after his drastic action in the court house. Silva, who owns a 20 hectare (50 acre) farm in the central town of Figueira da Foz, was being sued by a company for holding onto a cash deposit on a land deal which had fallen through, the local newspaper said. "I freaked out when the judge refused my offer to pay the debt and ordered the sale of part of my land. I told her I had a 1.2 million euro bank guarantee which would have allowed me to pay the debt," Silva said. When he went to take the bank papers from his briefcase, he noticed the butcher's knife he had recently bought at a market and decided to cut off his index finger, using a court desk as a chopping board. He then cut the finger into three.
