Drunk as a skunk man tries to revive dead possum: cops

A heavily intoxicated Pennsylvania man tried to resuscitate at dead possum lying along a highway, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported yesterday.

Donald Wolfe, 55, was spotted by a state trooper attempting to breathe life back into the dead animal around 3pm local time Thursday in a remote area north of Pittsburgh.

State troopers arrested Wolfe along an isolated stretch of the highway and charged him with public drunkenness, according to the paper.

Trooper Jamie Levier said Wolfe was “extremely intoxicated” and “did have his mouth in the area of the animal’s mouth, I guess.”

Another witness observed Wolfe kneeling near the dead animal and gesturing as though he was conducting a seance.

Wolfe will face charges of public drunkeness before a district judge in Jefferson County at an unscheduled date.

Police listed “society” as the victim of the crime.

Historic Amish Town Has More Spycams Than Major U.S. Cities

articles.latimes.com Laid out in 1730, the whole town is 4 square miles around a central square. Amish families still sell quilts in the nation's oldest public market, and the Wal-Mart provides a hitching post to park a horse and buggy. But poverty is double the state's average. How security cameras affect crime is open to debate.

PA 11-Year-Old Shoots His Dad’s Pregnant Girlfriend


An 11-year-old boy could be tried as an adult in a US court and face a mandatory life sentence if found guilty of killing his father's pregnant fiancee, local media reported.

A judge in Lawrence County, western Pennsylvania ruled that the child, Jordan Brown, would not be tried as a minor, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.

Lawyers for the boy said they would file a motion to have the case moved to juvenile court, after obtaining more forensic evidence.

The paper reported that Brown sat silently with his hands and feet shackled during his preliminary hearing, before being returned to a juvenile detention center where his attorney said he was "thriving."

He is accused of last month shooting Kenzie Houk, 26, in the back of the head while she slept, killing her and her unborn child who died of oxygen deprivation. He faces two charges of criminal homicide.

Houk was nine months pregnant and had two daughters, age seven and four, who lived in the house with her, her fiance Chris Brown and his son, Jordan.

The boy allegedly covered a shotgun with a blanket and shot Houk in head while she was asleep, before running out of the house to catch the school bus. Relatives said the boy was jealous of Houk and her children.

He is scheduled for an arraignment on May 1.
