A judged sentenced 25-year-old Sylvester Jiles of Cocoa on Monday. He was convicted in January of trespassing on jail property and resisting an officer.</p>
<p>Authorities say Jiles tried to climb a 12-foot fence at the Brevard County Detention Center in August. He was caught and hospitalized with severe cuts from the barbed wire. He had been released a week earlier after accepting a plea deal on a manslaughter charge. Jiles had begged jail officials to take him back into custody, saying he feared retaliation from the victim&#8217;s family. Jail officials said they couldn&#8217;t take him in and told him to file a police report.</p>

MIAMI – Devotees of a man claiming to practice a traditional African religion said they had to ingest the mucus of a Giant African Snail that sickened them. Federal authorities in January raided the Miami man&#8217;s home after receiving complaints. The man has not been criminally charged, but prosecutors and state and federal wildlife agencies are investigating. The Giant African Snail is prohibited in the U.S. without special approval.</p>
<p>Experts said it devastates new ecosystems. The snail grows up to 10 inches long, can reproduce on its own and even can even eat plaster.  The man said he meant no harm, and his religion uses the snails in healing ceremonies.  Followers said they got violently ill, losing weight and developing strange lumps in their stomachs.</p>

Samantha Lynn Frazier said she heard two pops when she walked into Herman&#8217;s Place early Saturday. The 35-year-old then felt pain and saw blood on her hand after she grabbed her left side. Atlantic City police said Frazier was an innocent bystander.<span id="more-1330"></span></p>
<p>Detective Lt. Charles Love said the gunman was aiming for a man who escaped with a bullet hole in his down jacket.  The suspect remains at large.  Frazier told The Press of Atlantic City that &#8216;I could have been dead. They said my love handles saved my life.&#8221;  Frazier also told the newspaper that she had been &#8220;hollering&#8221; that she wanted to lose weight.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CAIRO – A 25-year-old Egyptian man cut off his own penis to spite his family after he was refused permission to marry a girl from a lower class family, police reported Sunday.  After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, said a police official.<span id="more-1220"></span></p>
<p>The young man came from a prominent family in the southern Egyptian province of Qena, one of Egypt&#8217;s poorest and most conservative areas that is also home to the famed ancient Egyptian ruins of Luxor.  The man was rushed to the hospital but doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added citing the police report filed after the incident.</p>
<p>The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press, added that the man was still recovering in the hospital.  Traditionally, marriages in these conservative part of southern Egypt are between similar social classes and often within the same extended families — and are rarely for love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TROY, Kan. – Residents of a northeast Kansas town are mourning the deaths just hours apart of an elderly couple who were married 67 years. Arnita Yingling died in her sleep early Saturday at the family&#8217;s home in Troy. She was 93. Six hours later her 95-year-old husband, Lyle, died at a nursing home in the nearby town of Wathena.<span id="more-1196"></span></p>
<p>At their funeral Wednesday, friends and relatives described the two as inseparable. Some found comfort knowing neither would have to live without the other.  The Yinglings were married in 1941. Both were born on northeast Kansas farms and were active in Troy as members of their church and civic organizations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HONOLULU – A 28-year-old man has been sentenced to three weeks in jail for urinating on a 66-year-old woman during a Continental Airlines flight last month from Los Angeles to Honolulu. Jerome Kenneth Kingzio, a resident of the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, was sentenced after pleading guilty Tuesday to assault charges in federal court in Honolulu.<span id="more-1186"></span></p>
<p>The victim was headed to Hawaii on March 21 for a scuba diving vacation and was watching an in-flight movie when Kingzio stood up and began urinating on her. He had been drinking on the flight.  U.S. Attorney Edward Kubo Jr. said the woman reported that not only was her entire vacation ruined, but she continues to suffer emotionally from the incident.  The case was investigated by the FBI.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BURNSVILLE, Minn. – A man was charged with a felony after prosecutors alleged he tried to impress a woman by firing arrows at his neighbors&#8217; homes with a powerful bow. Police found arrows in the siding of townhomes in the man&#8217;s complex on Saturday. Another arrow went through a patio door, shattering the glass.<span id="more-1180"></span></p>
<p>The charges allege the 30-year-old man was &#8220;extremely intoxicated&#8221; when questioned by police. So was his female friend.</p>
<p>She allegedly told investigators that they had been drinking all night before the man grabbed his bow and walked onto the deck. She thought he wanted to &#8220;play Rambo.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dakota County prosecutors said the man eventually admitted that he did it for &#8220;giggles.&#8221;</p>
<p>The man was charged Wednesday with first-degree criminal damage to property.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WACO, Texas – A man was stabbed after causing a stink — literally — in a motel room while eating with a friend, police said. Five men from the Houston area were sharing a Waco motel room Tuesday night, and two were inside the room eating when one had a flatulence problem, Waco police Officer Steve Anderson said. <span id="more-1154"></span>One man was so upset about the gas that he threw a large knife at him, cutting his leg, and then stabbed him in the chest, Anderson said.</p>
<p>The 35-year-old man was transported to a Waco hospital, where he was treated for what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries, Anderson said.</p>
<p>Jose Braule Ramirez, 33, of Houston, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, police said. He was arraigned Wednesday and was being held in the McLennan County Jail on $15,000 bond and placed on an immigration hold, according to jail records. He cannot be released, even if he posts bond, until authorities verify he is in the country legally.</p>
<p>A jail spokeswoman who declined to give her name said she was not allowed to release information on whether Ramirez had an attorney.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DENVER – One Colorado woman&#8217;s love for tofu has been judged X-rated by state officials. Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her fondness for bean curd by picking certain letters for her SUV&#8217;s license plate. Her suggestion for the plate: &#8220;ILVTOFU.&#8221; But the Division of Motor Vehicles blocked her plan because they thought the combination of letters could be interpreted as profane.<span id="more-1152"></span></p>
<p>Says Department of Revenue spokesman Mark Couch: &#8220;We don&#8217;t allow &#8216;FU&#8217; because some people could read that as street language for sex.&#8221;</p>
<p>Officials meet periodically to ensure state plates stay free of letters that abbreviate gang slang, drug terms or obscene phrases.  The 38-year-old Coffman-Lee says tofu is a staple of her family&#8217;s diet because they are vegan and that the DMV misinterpreted her message.</p>

<p>Carter said Deputy Cori Merryman managed to handcuff the woman and put her in her patrol car before backup officers arrived, even though she had a bloodied nose that turned out to be fractured.</p>
<p>The suspect was trying to prevent a friend&#8217;s car from being impounded and had refused Merryman&#8217;s orders to move out of the way of a tow truck.</p>
<p>The woman was jailed on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BERLIN (Reuters) – The skeleton of a German retiree who tied himself to the top of a tree and shot himself to death nearly 30 years ago has been found by a hiker.</p>
<p>German police in the southern town of Landshut said on Monday the 69-year-old man disappeared in 1980 and had been classified as missing.</p>
<p>An 18-year-old hiker discovered a bone in the forest last week and brought it to police. They searched the area and spotted the skeleton hanging about 11 meters up, near the top of the spruce tree.</p>
<p>&#8220;After searching the area we found the skeleton up in the tree with the pistol hanging on a rope next to it,&#8221; police spokesman Leonard Mayer said. Police were able to identify the man through DNA testing and an artificial hip.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HARRISBURG, Pa. – A retired police chief said he was robbed by &#8220;probably the dumbest criminal in Pennsylvania,&#8221; at a police officers&#8217; convention on Friday morning. John Comparetto said as he came out of a stall in the men&#8217;s room, a man pointed a gun in his face and demanded money. There were 300 narcotics officers from Pennsylvania and Ohio at the gathering.<span id="more-1137"></span></p>
<p>Comparetto gave up his money and cell phone. But when the man fled, Comparetto and some colleagues chased him. They arrested a 19-year-old man as he was trying to leave in a taxi.  The suspect is also awaiting trial on four previous robbery charges.  The suspect was arraigned and taken to Dauphin County Prison. When a reporter asked the suspect for comment as he was led out of court, he said, &#8220;I&#8217;m smooth.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CLALLAM BAY, Wash. – An inmate&#8217;s attempt to heat up sausages in his toilet went up in smoke when the cooking fire forced a unit evacuation at a Washington prison. Clallam Bay Corrections Center spokeswoman Denise Larson says 130 inmates were evacuated to a dining hall when smoke was spotted coming from a sewer vent pipe Wednesday evening.<span id="more-1135"></span></p>
<p>She says the smoke was traced to the inmate&#8217;s cell and he admitted to trying to heat up snack sausage bought from a prison store in the stainless steel toilet.
