Robbery Foiled at the Bellagio

Micheal Belton and his band of thieves were trying to perform an "Ocean's-11"-like move at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. He started out by pepper-spraying a blackjack dealer and another swiped $115,000 in poker chips from the casino table. An employee came and tackled the thief, Belton threw many punches before he then attempted to karate fight. That did not work out very well. After a long wrestling match of trying to escape, he left behind a wig, sunglasses, and all the casino chips. Micheal Belton was arrested and is now being held on $6,000 bail at Clark County Jail. This has been only the second time in recent years that a Bellagio robbery has been foiled.

Girl With Flesh-Eating Disease

A 24-year-old girl from Georgia, Aimee Copeland, is suffering from a very rare flesh-eating disease. She has been in the hospital for 11 days and they are amputating her left leg and removed her abdomen. She was riding a homemade zip line, it snapped and she fell to the ground leaving her with a cut open calf. The bacteria that got into the wound caused necrotizing fasciitis, a deadly infection. Her calf was closed with 22 staples, even after they tried getting this germ that rarely causes flesh-eating disease. Aimee is alive but she is still in critical condition, breathing from a ventilator for oxygen. But because of the breathing tube she cannot talk.

Military Husband "Knocked Forward" While Skyping Wife

A U.S. Army captain in Afghanistan was skyping his wife from 7,500 miles away when all of a sudden his head fell forward onto the computer keys. The wife could see that there was a hole in the closet door which looked like a bullet hole. The wife says that they were chatting on skype and there was no sign that he was in any pain. His wife was frantic in trying to get a hold of someone to see what was going on. After two hours and many phone calls from the wife, two military members arrived in the room her husband had been in and checked his pulse. They never provided any information to his wife about his condition. They couldn't find any wounds on the body. They are still trying to figure out the death of her husband.

Boy Urinates on MacBooks

An 11-year-old student in Pennsylvania urinated on a couple dozen laptops left unattended at his elementary school . The police department claims that the cart and computers were damaged beyond repair. Resulting in over $36,000 of damage. The police department is questioning how and why he did it, it's very hard to urinate over 30 MacBooks because that's a lot of square footage. Apple says that they will not repair the damage that was done to it because it was a biohazard so they will not even touch the Mac. The boy will now be charged for vandalism and criminal mischief. He was not arrested but his case was forwarded to the Cumberland County Juvenile Probation Department.
