Police: Burglary suspect identified by name on shirt

LATROBE, Pa.

Police say a suspect had his first name stenciled on a sweatshirt he wore while breaking into a western Pennsylvania taxi company where he used to work.

That’s why 26-year-old Joshua Jording, of Latrobe, faces a preliminary hearing on burglary, theft and related charges today.

State police security video showed the suspect wearing a shirt with the name “Josh” on it. They searched Jording’s home and found that shirt, as well as two guns and two smartphones taken during the burglary Dec. 2 at the Veterans Cab Co. in Unity Township.

Police also found marijuana and drug paraphernalia during the search.

Jording is free on bond. He didn’t immediately respond to a Facebook message, and The Associated Press could not immediately locate a listed phone number for him.

Wild boar in Germany adopted by herd of cattle

BERLIN

A wild pig in Germany has decided to give up its “boaring” life – leaving the forest to live with a small herd of cattle.

Farmer Dirk Reese told the dpa news agency Monday the boar, which he nicknamed “Banana,” has been living with the eight cattle for more than two months on his property north of Hamburg, not far from the Danish border.

Reese says Banana has been effectively adopted by the cattle – “He’s fully integrated into the herd, which is fascinating.”

Reese says Banana has achieved something of a celebrity status in the area, so he’s not worried that the boar’s life in an open pasture might make it easy prey for a local hunter.

He says that “this pig has a special status.”

Austrian police find more than 100,000 euros in Danube river

VIENNA

The banknotes were wet, but Austrian police are not treating the find of more than 100,000 euros found in the Danube river as a classic case of money laundering.

Firefighters fished the banknotes worth nearly $110,000 out of the water in Vienna on the weekend. Last week, police remained mystified about how they got there, and who the owner is.

Police spokesman Roman Hahslinger says there are no links to robberies or other crimes involving such a large amount of money.

He suggests that if the search for the owner fails, it could be a case of finders’ keepers for a man who discovered the large denomination notes and then dove into the water to start recovering them.
