Thailand locals say a 100-year-old tree resembles female genitalia, and recently developed a "fist-sized sparkling lump." After finding the number 008 in the trunk somehow, villagers played the lottery and won, though the tree hasn't produced more lucky digits.
A New Orleans woman was jailed for ten days after she went to court in low-riding shorts which revealed her underwear. Kimberly Senette, 23, had only gone to court to urge her brother Lawrence Senette, 18, to accept a plea deal.
But Judge Steve Windhorst took a dim view of her revealing outfit and locked her up for contempt of court. Miss Senette was wearing knee-length shorts which revealed her pants and the top of her buttocks, according to a witness.
When Judge Windhorst questioned her appearance, she said she had to remove her belt when going through a security checkpoint at the courtroom entrance. She ended up being handcuffed and seated a row behind her brother as he eventually accepted a 12-year prison sentence in exchange for his guilty plea to carjacking and battery charges.
"It certainly is not unheard of for a judge to hold a person in contempt for disruptive or disorderly dress in court," said Dane Ciolino, a Loyola University law professor.
A Renton, Washington man allegedly found near a busy street naked and surrounded by sex toys and women's clothes has been charged with felony indecent exposure. A woman walking with her daughter on Aug. 5 spotted what they believed to be a woman lying face down about 10 feet off of Southwest Sunset Boulevard. The person – later identified as David Alonzo Brown – appeared to be holding a green, 12-inch-long sex toy in one hand while his other was positioned under his body. Hearing the subject making what they described as "girl noises," the witnesses contacted police.
Arriving at the scene, Renton officers found Brown naked except for a woman's halter top and bright blue eye shadow, according to charging documents. Brown tried to flee but was taken into custody nearby carrying the sex toy and a pair of leopard print heels. "On the ground near the subject was an opened jar of what appeared to be petroleum jelly and there were many used tissues scattered on the ground," a Renton officer told the court. "Hanging on a nearby tree, I saw what appeared to be a woman's black nightgown." A search revealed a second sex toy and a small mirror.
Officers in Elmwood Place, Ohio pulled over 32-year-old Colondra Hamiltonback on August 17. Officers found Hamilton had her pants unbuttoned with a female sex toy in her lap. She told officers she had been using the toy while driving, as well as watching a video on a computer her passenger was holding. It is not clear what the nature of that video was. Hamilton was also found to be in possession of a broken crack pipe.
