Pair found asleep in garage after homeowner reports burglary

NEW CASTLE, Pa.

Police in Pennsylvania say officers found a couple asleep in a garage with the light on after a homeowner reported a burglary.

New Castle police tell the New Castle News that they found the couple early Saturday, shortly after the homeowner called them.

Police say the homeowner had gone downstairs and found a glass jar containing cash missing, some furniture moved and cabinets opened. She also found her safe on the back porch, her purse missing and her basement door forced open.

Police say they found the sleeping intruders after noticing the garage light was on.

Twenty-one-year-old Spencer Peak faces a preliminary hearing Sept. 1 on burglary and other charges. Online court records don’t list an attorney for him.

The woman found with Peak hasn’t been charged.

Man arrested after firing fake gun outside Tombstone saloon

TOMBSTONE, Ariz.

A man who shot several rounds from a prop gun outside a saloon in the historic Arizona town of Tombstone faces disorderly conduct and other charges.

Tombstone Marshal John Houston says the man was in the Dragoon Saloon early Tuesday when he got into a fight with his girlfriend. He broke a pool cue, then went outside, pulled out a prop 9 mm pistol and began firing into the air.

His friends confronted him, not knowing the gun was fake, and the man stormed off.

Houston says deputy marshals, Cochise County deputy sheriffs and Border Patrol agents tracked down and arrested the man.

The man also faces charges of menacing with a firearm and being an ex-convict in possession of a weapon.

Texas couple rushes marriage vows to beat the stork

HOUSTON

It could have been the plot of a movie: A Houston couple improvises a hospital wedding in less than an hour after the bride goes into labor early.

Stephanie Tallent was eight months pregnant and having an ultrasound Friday when she went into labor at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women in Houston.

Fortunately, she and fiance Jason Nese had gotten their marriage license the day before. Nese fetched the license from his car, along with a white sun dress Tallent meant to send to the cleaners. A chaplain was called, and a party of doctors, nurses and clinic staff rounded up for the wedding.

After the ceremony, Tallent was prepped for a cesarean section. Daughter Sophia arrived a few hours later at 6 pounds 3 ounces.
