Officer says 2 Pa. men killed deer for Super Bowl party

UNIONTOWN, Pa.

Two western Pennsylvania men are in trouble after reportedly serving poached food at their Super Bowl party — and that doesn’t mean eggs or salmon.

Instead, a state wildlife conservation officer has charged 21-year-old Christopher Layman of Uniontown, and 35-year-old James Donaldson of Lemont Furnace, with killing two deer out of season Feb. 5 so they could serve fresh venison at their Super Bowl party the next day.

Online court records don’t list attorneys for either man and The Associated Press could not locate a home telephone number for Donaldson.

Layman didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment Friday.

The game officer says a third person with the men told him what happened.

That man is not charged. The officer says both men then confessed killing the deer and butchering them in a garage.

Robbers steal truck containing 100 live pigs in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia

Malaysian police said they are searching for 100 live pigs stolen from a truck by armed robbers.

Police official Roslan Bek Ahmad said three men with machetes hijacked the truck last week as it was leaving a pig farm in northern Perak state.

The driver was tied up and left by the roadside.

Roslan said Friday that police had recovered the vehicle in central Negri Sembilan state, but it was empty.

He said police believed the pigs were transferred to another truck to be sold in Malaysia. The pigs are worth an estimated $27,000.

Woman knocks bottles from shelf at NY liquor store

NYACK, N.Y.

Police say a woman at a suburban New York liquor store swept her arm through a shelf of high-priced booze, smashing $1,600 worth onto the floor because she felt a clerk was taking too long to wait on her.

Surveillance video from the Rite-Buy Wines & Liquors in Nyack shows the woman sticking out her right arm as she strides out of the store Feb. 23. She knocks dozens of bottles from a waist-high shelf, breaking many of them.

The owner’s son, Chris Giacopelli, says the damage included bottles of pricey Johnnie Walker Blue Label scotch.

Clarkstown Sgt. Harry Baumann said Friday that the woman has turned herself in.

She is due in court March 16 but has not been charged.
