Toilet paper tossed from plane at New Jersey school

WESTWOOD, N.J.

Authorities say a man tossed wet toilet paper from a small plane onto a New Jersey athletic field, but his intent wasn’t nefarious: He was making a test run for a streamer drop at an upcoming high school football game.

Westwood Police Chief Frank Regino told The Record of Woodland Park on Thursday that the pilot will be charged with violating a law that prohibits low-flying stunts over densely inhabited areas or public gatherings.

The pilot’s name was not released.

Regino said the man was practicing for a planned flight Saturday to drop streamers in school colors before Westwood High School’s football game.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters says the pilot dropped the toilet paper near a soccer field where players were practicing.

Grandma’s ashes mistakenly sold at yard sale in Florida

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla.

Grandma Marge’s ashes weren’t for sale, but a bargain hunter in Florida walked away with them anyway.

A touch of Grandma Marge was put in a potted violet, her favorite plant, after her death. The plant was accidentally sold at a weekend yard sale in the Panhandle town of Fort Walton Beach.

Piper Gaffrey had stepped away from the yard sale when her husband sold the violet for an undisclosed amount, not realizing some of Marjorie Potts Gaffrey was in the soil.

Piper Gaffrey scattered some of her 99-year-old grandmother in the violet when she died in February.

When she discovered it had been sold, she pleaded on Facebook for the buyer to take care of it. Fortunately, the plant was bought by someone she knew. It was returned and is thriving in Gaffrey’s new home.

Police: Naked man found in business watching porn

OKLAHOMA CITY

Authorities say a man walked into work in Oklahoma City and discovered a naked man sitting at his desk, looking at pornography.

Curtis Halberstadt was being held Tuesday on an indecent-exposure complaint.

According to a police report, a worker at the unidentified business found a nude man viewing pornography on his computer when he came back from lunch.

Police say the employee told them he didn’t know the intruder and that the man didn’t work there.

According to the report, when the employee asked him what he was doing there, the man said, “Cleaning and trying to make some money.”

An Oklahoma County jailer says Halberstadt is being held on $2,000 bond. The jailer says records don’t indicate whether Halberstadt had retained an attorney.
