Snowstorm sasquatch? Watch out for the Boston yeti
BOSTON
The monster storm in Boston has brought with it another monster — a yeti.
The white, furry phantom has been getting laughs by walking through the blizzard in a sasquatch suit.
One was spotted in downtown Copley Square. Another was sighted trying to hail a cab in suburban Somerville.
New England Cable News reporter Tony Sabato tweeted a photo of the not-so-elusive creature. Above a snapshot of the yeti looking rather pensive, he wrote, “Found the yeti in the blizzard at Copley Square in Boston.”
It wasn’t immediately clear whether there were one or more yetis roaming the Boston streets.
As of midday Tuesday, the abominable snowman hadn’t revealed his or her true identity.
Police: Drunken driver hits squad car during DWI arrest
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas
Police in a Dallas suburb say a drunken driver crashed into an empty squad car while officers were busy dealing with another drunken driver they had pulled over.
Grand Prairie police say a third driver then crashed into another empty squad car, but this driver wasn’t drunk or high.
The Dallas Morning News reports that officers pulled over the first driver about 3 a.m. Sunday and ended up arresting that person for driving while intoxicated.
Department spokesman Lyle Gensler says the driver of the first vehicle to hit a squad car also was arrested on a DWI charge, but the third driver was only ticketed.
The only person hurt was the second driver, who suffered minor injuries.
Dog saved from euthanasia dies after cancer diagnosis
KANAB, Utah
A Utah animal sanctuary says a dog who escaped death in Indiana — a result of an ultimatum in the will of his late owner — has died.
Best Friends Animal Society said Tuesday in a statement posted to its blog that it euthanized the dog named Bela after tests revealed fast-growing cancer in the dog’s lungs.
The sanctuary rescued the 105-pound German shepherd after owner Connie Ley of Aurora, Ind., died in November. Her will dictated the dog be sent to Best Friends or be euthanized, cremated and mixed in with her ashes. Ley worried the dog was too aggressive and might pose a danger to others.
Best Friends says it will cremate Bela and send the ashes to Indiana to be interred with his late owner.
