CONSIDER THIS A DIVORCE: William Joseph Wolfe, 34, of Henderson, Texas,
drew a romantic candle-lit bubble bath for his wife, she says. But as
Teresa Wolfe reclined in the water, she says her husband knocked a
radio into the tub. "She caught the radio before it hit the water and
threw it out of the way," a police report says. She said her husband's
reaction was "not normal, and she became suspicious." After the
incident she checked their computer and found her husband "had accessed
Web sites dealing with bathtub electrocution two days prior" and called
police. Wolfe, a hospital nurse, has been charged with second-degree
attempted murder. A hospital spokeswoman said the staff was "shocked at
what has happened." (Tyler Morning Telegraph) ...They were the only
ones, then.
COMPLETE NAIL CARE: A construction worker in Lancaster, Calif., is
expected to make a full recovery after accidentally being shot in the
head with a nail gun -- six times. Three of the nails penetrated his
brain; one entered his spinal column, but luckily not his spinal cord.
Witnesses say Isidro Mejia, 39, fell from the roof of the house he was
building onto another worker who was using the gun below. "The guy
holding the nail gun was grabbing to keep from falling, and just
gripped tighter on the trigger," said a Los Angeles County sheriff's
investigator. "It's a nail gun they use for framing. It can drive nails
through 2-by-4s." (Los Angeles Times) ...It's the first time L.A. cops
have said it: a Mexican guy really was framed.
WINDOW DRESSING: Iona Dudley-Ward, 20, spent an hour and a half trying on
clothes in a store in Brighton, England. "I was trying to ignore people
passing by, so a lot of them thought I didn't realize I was in the
window," she said later. "I had people banging on the window, saying,
'Dear, we can see you.' I just carried on." Police, called by people on
the street, discovered Dudley-Ward was a performance artist competing
in the Brighton Arts Festival. She won first prize. (London Telegraph)
...London: A daring artistic performance. Amsterdam: Just another new
girl on the block.
RELAX: An unnamed worker at the Salt Lake Regional Medical Center in Salt
Lake City, Utah, admits he slipped a tranquilizer into the coffee of an
unnamed female employee because she was "too hyper," he says, and it
would "calm her down." The woman had a bad reaction to the drug and was
off work for two weeks. When confronted about the seriousness of
slipping drugs to unsuspecting people, the 22-year-old man is said to
have replied, "At least she would have [already] been at the hospital."
He was arrested and charged with "surreptitious administration of a
substance," a felony. (Deseret Morning News) ...The headline: "Crank
