Urine drinker arrested at buffet

KENNEWICK, Wash.

Police arrested a man after others at a Kennewick restaurant complained he drank his own urine.

The 26-year-old man and a woman went to the buffet restaurant recently for dinner.

Witnesses say the woman left, and he urinated into a plastic cup and drank it while standing at his table.

The Tri-City Herald reported that several people who were eating dinner complained and called police.

The man was walking away from the restaurant when he was arrested and booked into the Benton County Jail.

Bee swarm kills Chihuahua

PASCO, Wash.

A swarm of bees attacked two dogs in a Pasco yard, killing one of them, a 71/2-pound Chihuahua named Ziggy.

Owner Shawna Breedlove told KNDU that veterinarians advised her to put the dog down because it went into shock and could not survive the toxins from more than 150 stingers.

Another dog was in her yard April 26 when hundreds of bees swarmed, but it survived.

Beekkeepers said the bees might have been agitated by the wind that day.

OREGON CITY, Ore.

The Clackamas County sheriff’s office says a serial shoplifter appears to have a second bad habit.
