FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Talk about your post-break blues. Diego, a 10-year-old boy in Mexico, hated
the thought of going back to school after winter break so much that he
used industrial glue to secure his hand to his bed.
When his mother, Sandra Palacios, awoke, she found him leisurely
watching television. She then spent about two hours trying to free her son’s hand,
using water, oil and nail polish remover before calling police, Monterrey police chief
Jorge Camacho told The Associated Press.
“I didn’t want to go to school because vacation was so much fun," the boy told
local media.
Unfortunately for Diego, paramedics were able to unstick him in time for school.
NOTED. A 53-year-old lowa City man was
arrested for snitching on himself.
Ricky Lee Jones was arrested during a traf
fic stop and charged with fourth-degree illegal
game betting after complaining to police that
he was robbed of his gambling earnings.
Police said Jones was shooting dice with his
partner, who apparently became angry, grabbed
the money being wagered and ran off.
