A California couple faces child endangerment charges after police say they tried to sell their 6-month-old baby for $25 outside a Walmart store.

Salinas police spokesman, Officer Lalo Villegas, said Thursday that Patrick Fousek, 38, and Samantha Tomasini, 20, were arrested early Wednesday, hours after Fousek allegedly approached two women outside Walmart and asked if they’d like to purchase his child.

The women initially thought Fousek was joking, but when he became persistent, they became suspicious and reported it to police, Villegas said.

South African Dr. Sonnet Ehlers was on call one night four decades ago when a devastated rape victim walked in. Her eyes were lifeless; she was like a breathing corpse.

“She looked at me and said, ‘If only I had teeth down there,’” recalled Ehlers, who was a 20-year-old medical researcher at the time. “I promised her I’d do something to help people like her one day.”
Forty years later, Rape-aXe was born.

Ehlers is distributing the female condoms in the various South African cities where the World Cup soccer games are taking place.
The woman inserts the latex condom like a tampon. Jagged rows of teeth-like hooks line its inside and attach on a man’s penis during penetration, Ehlers said.

Once it lodges, only a doctor can remove it — a procedure Ehlers hopes will be done with authorities on standby to make an arrest.

A woman who police say stole two cars and led them on a chase all while she was naked is now in jail.
The 31-year-old woman from Kearns was booked Tuesday evening after getting a mental evaluation.

This was certainly an unusual call for West Valley City, Utah officers. They say it’s laughable now, but mostly, they’re just happy no one was seriously injured.

Five o’clock in the morning is not usually a busy time on Highway 111 in West Jordan. But Tuesday morning was different.
As West Valley City police Capt. Tom McLachlan said, “This was an episode that is out of the normal.”

A man was pulled over, posting business signs on the side of the road. Sylvina Beagley pulled up next to him and got out of her car.

“Unique thing about that was that, uh she was not wearing any clothes,” McLachlan said.
Then she decided to steal his car, driving north toward West Valley City.

The man jumped into her abandoned car and followed Beagley, while dialing 911.
Shortly afterwards, she crashed into a gate on ATK property and ran. Officers eventually caught up with Beagley, but they couldn’t quite physically catch her.

“She did have blood on her body from the initial crash. She was hot and sweaty, dirty, and very slippery. She managed to escape the grasp of the two officers,” McLachlan said.

And she was off again! This time she got into a squad car and drove away, only to crash into another gate, hit a burm and soar 50 feet in the air.

Beagley didn’t stop there either. She ran from the totaled car and scaled a barbed wire fence.
Officers realized a Taser was necessary to stop her, and so it ended.

Dennison was reportedly “very intoxicated” when the deputy arrived at the New Port Richey home.

After using her BlackBerry to get walking directions from her Google Maps app, Lauren Rosenburg, of Park City, Utah, found herself at the edge of a busy highway. She decided to cross it (since Google told her to), and, as you’d imagine, wasted no time in getting hit by a car. Now, she’s asking Google to pay up for giving her dangerous directions.

As Fortune reports, Rosenburg has filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming, according to court documents, that she “expects uses of the walking map site to rely on the accuracy of the walking directions given.” Because Google’s directions failed her, she’s asking for a grand total of $100,000 in damages. The jaywalker is also suing Patrick Harwood, the guy who actually hit her as she was crossing Deer Valley Drive (Utah State Route 224).
