Weird National Briefs - 09/01/2010 From the Associated Press Where there's smoke... LANDISVILLE, Pa. - Police say a smoking bag of money led them to the man who robbed a central Pennsylvania bank. Fifty-year-old Douglas Smuck, of Wrightsville, York County is being held on $1 million bail after police say he robbed a bank but was thwarted by the smoking bag of loot. East Hempfield Township police say Smuck flashed a handgun and demanded money during Friday afternoon's robbery in Landisville, Lancaster County. A dye pack was inserted with the money and a short time later a witness saw a man carrying a bag emitting red smoke. The witness took down the license plate number and called police, who traced the car to Smuck. Investigators say Smuck admitted to the robbery after being arrested at his house. It was not clear from online court records if Smuck had an attorney. TME - Apparently, smoking is also hazardous to your getaway. Oscar Meyer: Drug Kingpin HOLYOKE, Mass. - A man has been arrested after a kilogram of cocaine hidden inside a hollowed-out chunk of bologna was delivered to his home. Holyoke police say they were tipped off by postal inspectors in Puerto Rico who had been investigating similar shipments. A dog confirmed the presence of drugs and the bologna was cut open. The meat was then repackaged and an undercover postal inspector delivered it to a Holyoke address at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday. A woman sitting on the front steps signed for it. Police then executed a search warrant and arrested a 30-year-old man on a cocaine trafficking charge. Police say the cocaine had a street value of $100,000. The investigation is ongoing. TME - Who says lunch meat doesn't know how to party? Snake on a train BOSTON - Snake on a train? Transit officials in Boston aren't taking any chances. A Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority spokesman says a train was temporarily stopped after riders reported a man aboard had a snake around his neck. The man had already left when police arrived Thursday afternoon at the Green Line's Brookline Village station, a few minutes outside Boston. MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo tells The Boston Globe newspaper police held the train for nine minutes to investigate, briefly backing up service. The transit agency allows small pets to ride in secure animal carriers as long as they don't annoy passengers. The policy doesn't say anything specific about snakes. TME - Samuel L. Jackson was available for comment, but it was unprintable. Ewe! In the road! KNOWLTON, N.J. - Traffic is flowing again on Interstate 80 in New Jersey after a truck carrying sheep overturned and set scores of them loose. The sheep were on their way to a slaughterhouse when they were tossed out of the overturned tractor-trailer near the New Jersey-Pennsylvania line. Truck driver Marvin Raber told the Pocono Record he was driving from Ohio to New York when he tried to change lanes and his truck flipped over. It took about four hours before both eastbound lanes reopened through Knowlton. Some sheep had to be euthanized after the crash. TME - They tried to total up the sheep, but people kept falling asleep. At least it's being safe SANTA ANA, Calif. - A California man who says he ordered French onion soup and bit into a condom instead of melted cheese has settled his lawsuit against the Claim Jumper restaurant chain. The terms of Wednesday's settlement were not disclosed. Both sides say in a statement the deal indicates no admission of liability by either party. Zdenek Philip Hodousek of Mission Viejo sued in Superior Court last summer seeking unspecified damages. He says he was eating Easter brunch with his family when he bit into the condom. The company says it found no evidence of a foreign object in the soup or that there was any employee involvement or wrongdoing. According to the chain's website, there are 46 Claim Jumper restaurants in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. TME - They clearly have a different definition of "French."
