Tiger Woods’ Injuries Caused by Wife, Not SUV
Posted By Staff
Florida - Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol — that should happen this afternoon. But we’re told Tiger had a conversation Friday — with a non-law enforcement type — detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant. We’re told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We’re told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV — but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club. More…

DADE CITY, Florida - His nickname is Priest and he had a $40 drug debt to pay off. So on Thursday afternoon, Robert McCray - a 37-year-old felon with “Thug Life” tattooed on his chest - headed into a CVS Pharmacy on U.S. 301, according to the Dade City Police Department. He needed something to barter off his debt. Authorities say McCray chose deodorant. He stuffed 19 packages of antiperspirant - $84 worth - inside his jacket and tried to head outside, the police report said. Store employees noticed the stolen sticks and stopped McCray, the report said. They told him to pay for them. The employees detained him until police officers arrived. 
Texas - Police say they found the body of a 35-year-old Houston teacher in his SUV after the apparently abandoned vehicle was towed to an impound. Galena Park Police Chief Robert Pruett says Heladio Rojas Perales’ family reported him missing at 4 a.m. Thursday. The Houston Chronicle reports that officials believe 35-year-old Perales may have been killed last weekend at a friend’s home in Wharton, 50 miles southwest of Houston, then hidden in the vehicle, which was subsequently dumped at a nearby farm. The landowner complained and police towed the SUV to the impound, where they discovered the body. 
Chicago, Illinois - Naked mole rats don’t get cancer. They shrug off brushes with acid and age so well, some are older than the college-aged researchers handling them. “They really are from Mars, I think,” said Thomas Park, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Actually, they’re from the horn of Africa. But naked mole rats are becoming more popular in research laboratories, where the seemingly invulnerable rodents have surprised scientists with their ability to live up to 30 years and their potential to offer insights into human health. They’re being used to study everything from aging to cancer to strokes. 
BOSTON, Massachusetts - A Boston woman says she was forced to split her time between helping her daughter deliver a baby at home and cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Patricia McCalop was in the middle of preparing the meal when Africa McCalop suddenly went into labor two weeks early. The grandmother called 911, and a dispatcher talked her through the delivery and helped her confirm that the baby girl was health and breathing. 
There’s nothing like tuning into an episode of “The View” for a little exploration of social sensitivities in the modern American culture. In keeping with that tradition, on Black Friday, a term used to describe the Friday following Thanksgiving, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season, the use of the word “black” to mark this occasion was a topic of discussion on “The View” for its potential “racist” implications. 
DOVER, Florida - 
Chicago, Illinois - A Southeast Side woman who sought medical attention after ingesting illegal drugs was arrested Friday after she punched a paramedic who tried to help her and spat on a nurse at the hospital where she was taken, 
CASEYVILLE, Missouri - Authorities in St. Clair County have filed child endangerment charges against a Columbia, Mo., couple who allegedly fell asleep in a Caseyville motel room after leaving an infant and toddler in a running van outside. Police later got a call about two unattended children in a van. The parents were found in their motel room. Officers say Atkins appeared confused and said he thought the children were in the room with them. 
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Swedish police say they’ve cleared a man who was arrested for allegedly murdering his wife after deciding the culprit was most likely a moose. Police spokesman Ulf Karlsson says “the improbable has become probable” in the puzzling death last year of 63-year old Agneta Westlund. She was found dead after an evening stroll in the forest. According to news reports, the victim’s husband, Ingemar Westlund, was jailed for 10 days. The case against him was dropped in January. 
CORONA, California - For more than 20 years, Mike Nolan was known to radio listeners as the “eye in the sky.” He flew over Southern California freeways in his single-engine plane, reporting on the nation’s worst traffic. These days, he broadcasts about traffic snarls and lurking gridlock without leaving the ground - without even leaving his home in this Los Angeles suburb. Sitting in a chair behind computer monitors and a television, Nolan gathers traffic data and broadcasts live on two radio stations a day. “What I’m best suited to do is look out the airplane window and tell people what I see,” Nolan, 60, said. “When I was grounded, that world changed considerably so I had to reinvent myself.” 
ABC has booked Rihanna-beater Chris Brown for an interview and a performance on “Good Morning America” — right after the network canceled guy-kisser Adam Lambert. Brown will do a taped tell-all with Robin Roberts, followed by a performance of songs from his new album. But TV insiders say the appearance, slated to air the week after next, has outraged feminists and gay activists who wonder why a convicted girlfriend abuser is more palatable to the network than an openly gay man who broke no laws with his raunchy performance on the “American Music Awards.”
