Dolphin at SeaWorld snatches woman’s iPad

ORLANDO, Fla.

A woman trying to take a picture of a dolphin at SeaWorld in Florida with an iPad apparently got a bit too close because it snatched the device right out of her hands.

Video shot by another parkgoer shows the dolphin reaching over the side of the viewing tank at SeaWorld Orlando, where visitors can touch the dolphins.

After the dolphin grabs the iPad and tosses it into the water, the woman retrieves the device and then quickly walks away.

A voice can be heard over a loudspeaker saying, “As you can see, the dolphins can reach your loose items.”

Tampa’s WTVT-TV reports there’s no word on the fate of the iPad.

Philly Naked Bike Ride coming back next month

PHILADELPHIA

Thousands of bicyclists are gearing up to ride around Philadelphia naked.

Organizers of the Philly Naked Bike Ride announced Monday that the eighth annual event will take place throughout the city’s streets Sept. 10.

Ride organizers say participants can go as bare as they dare. Last year, some people wore their underwear, while others wore nothing at all or sported body paint.

Artists including Matt Deifer will be on hand to paint the naked cyclists before they pedal away.

The ride is to protest dependence on fossil fuels, advocate for the safety of cyclists and promote positive body image. About 3,000 participants are expected.

Employee at Subway accused of drugging police officer’s drink

SALT LAKE CITY

A Utah sandwich shop employee has been arrested on accusations he put methamphetamine and THC into the drink of a uniformed police officer.

A probable cause statement filed Tuesday says the Layton police sergeant immediately felt impaired after getting the drink at a Subway restaurant Monday. He struggled to find the brake pedal of his patrol car at a red light and couldn’t answer questions at the police station.

Police Lt. Travis Lyman said the officer has been released from a hospital and is OK.

Tanis Ukena was arrested on suspicion of surreptitiously giving a poisonous substance. He denied the allegations.
