Cops in Susquehanna Township, Pa., arrested a pregnant 18-year-old woman after she barged into a neighbor’s home brandishing a putty knife and demanded money.
After a brief scuffle, the pregnant perp fled and was caught by police.
Turns out she was out on bail, awaiting trial on charges that she twice tried to hold up a convenience store – armed with an ice-cream scoop.
The folks living on the road that wraps along the base of Sheep Mountain in Powell, Wyo., are petitioning to have its name changed to something more scenic – and less obscene.
The winding, 17-mile stretch is officially, and embarrassingly, known as County Road 6 FU.
County Engineer Frank Page said he never thought about the dual meaning when he named the road, noting, “Connotations have changed in 25 years.”
It sounds like a dream come true – more than $7,000 to spend on a three-hour shopping spree in Murcia, Spain.

The woman told the contest organizers she was “too busy to waste the morning,” a spokesman for the organizers said.
Finally, justice for Billy the Kid. It took 122 years, but the legendary Wild West gunslinger now has a mouthpiece.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has appointed Sante Fe attorney Bill Robins to represent the Kid in an investigation into his death, supposedly at the hands of Sheriff Pat Garrett.
“I’m hoping this will shed enough light that the governor can ultimately pardon Billy the Kid,” Robins said.
A woman had a manicure in a Detroit nail salon, waited for the polish to dry and then robbed the owner and three customers at gunpoint, according to police.
She fled in her car with her two young kids.
When cops arrested her a half-hour later, they reported finding jewelry and other loot in her car, which helped finger her in five other beauty-salon robberies.
