Michigan boy finds piece of finger in Arby’s sandwich
JACKSON, Mich.
A Michigan teen made a gristly discovery after biting into an Arby’s junior roast-beef sandwich.
Ryan Hart said he had nearly polished off his sandwich last Friday when he bit into something tough to chew that tasted like rubber, so he spit it out.
Turns out it tasted like finger — the fleshy pad of an unfortunate employee’s finger, apparently.
“I was like, ‘That [has] to be a finger,’” Hart, 14, told the Jackson Citizen Patriot on Wednesday. “I was about to puke. ... It was just nasty.”
The employee apparently cut her finger on a meat slicer and left her station without immediately telling anyone, said Steve Hall, the environmental health director for the Jackson County health department. Her co-workers continued filling orders before they became aware of what happened, he said.
Authorities: Trooper gets text seeking illegal buy
ANCHORAGE, Alaska
Two women face possible charges after authorities say a text message seeking the illegal purchase of alcohol was errantly sent to an Alaska State Trooper.
Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters tells KTUU-TV an off-duty trooper in the southwest Alaska town of Bethel began getting text messages from an unknown number just after midnight Wednesday.
The trooper, Mike Ingram, responded to the texts and arranged a meeting. Authorities say the woman who sent the texts and another alleged buyer showed up to the meeting. So did Ingram, in uniform.
Alcohol sales are barred in Bethel because no one has been cleared to sell it in the community 400 miles west of Anchorage.
Both women face possible misdemeanor charges, which have been sent to the Bethel district attorney’s office for review. The women’s names were withheld pending charges.
Seattle car vandal takes nothing, leaves tortillas
SEATTLE
Seattle police are scratching their heads about this one.
A car prowler shattered a window of a parked Jeep, stole nothing and left behind a little something for the car’s owner — a dozen tortillas scattered across the floor. The crime happened last week near the University of Washington.
Bemused by the break-in, police were moved to pun, saying, “The Seattle Police Department would like to take this opportunity to remind car prowlers that you shouldn’t break in to something that’s nachos.”
