Ok ok, we called for dad of the year before but this guy takes the cake.
Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn’t made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.

Officers also arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of statutory rape. Investigators believe the girl went willingly with the man, but she’s under California’s legal age of consent and can’t legally marry.

Blame it on Halo.

A judge Monday rejected the defense that a teenage boy opened fire on his family because he was addicted to video games, convicting him of wounding his clergyman father and killing his mother after they fought over a game. Lawyers for Daniel Petric, 17, didn’t contest that the boy shot his parents in October 2007, but insisted his youth and video game addiction made him less responsible.

Common Pleas Judge James Burge disagreed and pointed to evidence the boy plotted the crime for weeks.

Petric was convicted of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and other charges. He faces a maximum possible penalty of life in prison without parole. The judge didn’t set a sentencing date.

Prosecutors said Petric planned to kill his parents because he was angry that his father would not allow him to play the video game “Halo 3,” in which players shoot alien monsters that have taken over the Earth.

The thing about those cute panda bears is that they’re still bears.

A panda with a record of aggressive behavior attacked a man who jumped into its enclosure at a Beijing zoo to pick up a toy, local media said on Thursday.

The nine-year-old panda, Gugu, bit the man on his legs but was driven away by a zoo worker brandishing a broom, the Beijing Youth Daily said.

The man, who jumped into the enclosure to retrieve a toy dropped by a child, was taken to hospital and given a rabies shot, but his injuries were light, the report said.

This was not the first time Gugu has bitten somebody.

Twice before he has attacked people who climbed in to his cage, one of whom was drunk and the other who was simply curious, the newspaper added

Judging by the pics, they should have been threatened with attempted bestiality.

A man called a late night phone chat line on Sunday, Jan. 4 and was invited to come have sex with two young women at their home. When he showed up, he was beaten, robbed, and threatened with charges of statutory rape by their father.

And it’s probably not the first time this scheme was pulled, said Capt. Kim Frey, Cincinnati police.

James Merida, 40, and his two daughters, Amie Campbell, 28, and Ashley Merida, 20, of 1986 Knob Court, have been arrested on robbery charges.

“I think these people found a new way to victimize others,” Frey said. “They find people who are an easy mark and found a way to intimidate and scare these men into thinking they could be involved with a more serious crime.”

After the victim came to meet the girls at about 10 p.m., Merida rushed into the house by kicking in his own door. He accused the man of fooling around with his daughters. Merida lied by saying the girls were underage, then beat the victim and took more than $200 from him, according to police.

After interviewing neighbors, police feel this is not the first time the trio has done this, although they are not sure how many other victims there are.

It’s the claim that the girls are underage that might stop victims from coming forward, Frey said.

“It’s an embarrassing type of crime,” she said. “The men didn’t think they were going there to have sex with a juvenile … so now the guys are thinking, ‘I’m in trouble.’ Most guys probably took their lumps and went away quietly,” she said.

The victim, a 55-year-old man from Warren County, declined to comment to a reporter.

She can raise her 3 week old daughter any way she wants. If not for moms like this we might run out of Young lady’s to work the strip clubs.

A new mother allegedly brought her three-week-old daughter to a bar and, among other things, breast fed the child while drinking alcohol.

According to police, Allanah Earley, 36, of 37 Fowler Ave., Durham, drank to excess at an unnamed bar Friday while she had the baby with her. Police said she then began to wander in the cold with the infant.

Earley eventually made her way to a friend’s house on High Street, police said, where she continued her drunken spree and even began to breast feed the child.

When police interviewed Earley, she was unable to stand upright, her speech was slurred and her eyes were bloodshot, they said.

Earley allegedly admitted to police she brought the infant to the bar and said she had seven drinks.

The employee described the man as having “unusually long arms” and dark eyes.

Police said a masked man robbed the Washman Carwash on NE 81st Avenue Saturday morning, but his gun fell apart in the middle of the heist.

The suspect approached an employee at about 10:45 a.m., pulled a gun out from underneath his sweatshirt and demanded money.

He then dropped his gun and it fell apart, police said.

The suspect began waving his fist at the employee and demanded money, according to a police report, and the employee opened up the cash register.

But as the suspect reached for money the employee grabbed a power washer and sprayed him in the face, causing the suspect to flee on foot, westbound down NE Everett Street, police said.

The suspect was described by police as a white male in his 20s, about 6’ tall, weighing 180 pounds and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a white “skeleton” ski mask.

The employee described the man as having “unusually long arms” and dark eyes.

At least she can honestly say to her friends the next day “My date was hot!”

A Swedish man’s attempt to impress his girlfriend on Friday night backfired, putting him in the hospital with serious burn injuries and facing allegations of endangering the public.

The woman told police in Västervik in south eastern Sweden that her boyfriend poured gasoline over his arm and set the fuel on fire.

“It obviously didn’t go well. He burned his arm and other parts of his body and was in a state of shock,” said Kalmar police spokesperson Reine Johansson to the TT news agency.

“Don’t ask me what the point of the trick was supposed to be.”

The 33-year-old man was taken via ambulance to the hospital in Västervik.

According to police he will likely need specialized care at the burn clinic of Linköping University Hospital.

Following the failed stunt, the man is also under suspicion for negligence which endangers the public.
