Texas – When a pregnant teacher in Texas collapsed, her coworkers rushed to help.
The woman technically died, gave birth and then was brought back to life.
Erica Nigrelli, an English teacher at Elkins High School in Missouri City, Texas, collapsed in a co-worker’s classroom when she was 36 weeks pregnant.
“Apparently I told her, ‘I feel very faint,’ and I put my head down and I essentially just passed out,” Erica Nigrelli said.
Erica’s husband, Nathan, is also a teacher at Elkins.
“I opened the door and walked in and Erica was laying on the floor,” he said. Full Article

Florida – Over the past few days, news surrounding the charges that have been brought against Kaitlyn Hunt (picture), 18, has spread quickly, with emotional responses ringing out from all sides.
The high school senior was arrested in February after a relationship she had with a younger, female student at her school came to light.
Her girlfriend, now 15, was not of legal age to be engaged in sexual behaviors with Hunt; now, she could face prison time.
Despite the family’s plea with the public and officials to throw out the charges, the government has no plans to comply with the parents’ request.
On Monday, the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office officially responded to the public uproar during a press conference. Authorities doubled-down on the charges against Hunt, CBS reports.
Despite furor from some who are focusing upon the fact that the case involves a same-sex relationship, police say that the facts would be the same regardless of the genders of those involved. Full Article

SUFFOLK – A mother of a middle school student was convicted of disorderly conduct this week after mooning her son’s bus driver and the roughly 45 students riding the bus.
Lisa Marie Grant, 34, of Suffolk was sentenced to six months in jail with all but one month suspended and fined $250 for the misdemeanor, according to court records.
The conflict started when the John Yeates Middle School bus driver sent Grant’s son home with a conduct notice.
According to the arrest warrant, the driver offered to talk to Grant through a side window but wouldn’t let her board the bus.
Grant “became very irate and began cursing” before blocking the path of the bus, the warrant said. Then, the warrant stated, Grant exposed her buttocks and one breast.
Oser said his client denies exposing her breast and only bared her underwear when mooning the bus. Full Article

TRENTON, New Jersey – At one bar, a mixture that included rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring was sold as scotch.
In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water and apparently not even clean water at that.
State officials provided those new details Thursday on raids they conducted a day earlier as part of a yearlong investigation dubbed Operation Swill.
Twenty-nine New Jersey bars and restaurants, including 13 TGI Fridays, were accused of substituting cheap booze – or worse – for the good stuff while charging premium prices.
As part of Operation Swill, investigators collected 1,000 open bottles of vodka, gin, rum, scotch, whiskey and tequila from the wells of the bars, state Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said. Full Article Watch video at NuttyNewsVideos.com

NEW YORK – For decades, people have been getting rid of cockroaches by setting out bait mixed with poison.
But in the late 1980s, in an apartment test kitchen in Florida, something went very wrong.
A killer product stopped working.
Cockroach populations there kept rising.
Mystified researchers tested and discarded theory after theory until they finally hit on the explanation: In a remarkably rapid display of evolution at work, many of the cockroaches had lost their sweet tooth, rejecting the corn syrup meant to attract them.
In as little as five years, the sugar-rejecting trait had become so widespread that the bait had been rendered useless. Full Article

Oklahoma – When the main US federal emergency agency arrives at the scene of a disaster-hit area, one of the first places it turns to is the local Waffle House – and not just for its officials to grab a quick bite.
Craig Fugate, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, came up with the idea of the “Waffle House index” as an informal way of measuring the impact of a disaster.
The chain, which has a large number of branches in tornado-prone areas, has a robust emergency management plan.
The index has three levels.
If the local Waffle House is up and running, serving a full menu, a disaster is classed as green. If it is running with an emergency generator and serving only a limited menu, it is a yellow. If it is closed, badly damaged or totally destroyed, as during hurricane Katrina, it is a red.
But the Moore, Oklahoma, tornado was classed as a yellow on the Waffle House index because managers were hoping to get it up and running soon. Full Article

Florida – WBBH NBC News-2 in Fort Myers reports that Shirley Ann Duncan has agreed to a plea deal and will be on probation for three years and must pay back her victims — members of her church.
Duncan had told members of a Port Charlotte church that her three sons were killed in action in the Middle East wars — and her fourth injured son was not expected to live.
She later told the congregants that son died in October, according to a news release from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office.
When the church asked the 49-year-old North Port woman for documentation concerning the deaths, she presented a fraudulent letter supposedly from the Secretary of War and signed by Adjutant General J.A. Ulio, informing her that a son was killed Aug. 13, 2010, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives said that General died more than 50 years ago. Full Article
