Dude, where’s my marmoset? Stolen.
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
At least he didn’t have the munchies. An Australian teenager stole two
crocodiles and a monkey —and blamed his Fictions on marijuana.
Benjamin Glen Watts, 19, pleaded guilty to twice breaking into a wild
life park on the outskirts of the tropical city of Darwin, the Australian
Broadcasting Corp. radio reported on its Web site.
Watts said he planned to sell the stolen baby crocodiles and the marmoset but
couldn’t find anyone to buy them. The animals were returned unharmed.
Watts’ lawyer told the court that his client admitted it was a “dumb stoner" thing
to do and that he wrote to Crocodylus Park to apologize. Watts was given a three
month suspended jail sentence and has undergone drug counseling.
NOTED. A man who mailed a bloody cow’s
head to his wife's lover has been sentenced to
probation and community service. Pennsylvania
resident Jason Michael Fife was charged with
stalking, terroristic threats and harassment
Police said Fife, 31, got the cow's head from a
butcher on claims that he wanted to use the dried
skull for decoration. He froze the head, but it grew
Woody on the victim’s doorstep on a hot day.
