Crazy World: Man stages April Fool's plane crash

Published
By Agencies

It's the plane crash that wasn't in Southern California.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports a Yucaipa businessman staged an elaborate April Fool's joke on Monday.

Billy Cheesman Jr. used a forklift to arrange a small aircraft on the fence that runs in front of his equipment rental business, as if it had nosedived there.

He also strung yellow caution tape around to make it resemble a crash scene.

Cheesman says someone gave him the two-seat experimental plane and he's been trying to figure out what to do with it.

He notified the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department before he set up the prank at Redlands Yucaipa Rentals.

Man sets snoring wife’s pants on fire

 

US: A 60-year-old man is being charged in state court for setting his wife’s pants on fire following an argument they had about her snoring.

Court records show Bryce Ray Whitaker is being charged with aggravated arson. Authorities say that on March 24 Whitaker lit a pair of his wife’s pants on fire in their Salt Lake City house.

He told officers that he and his wife had been arguing about her snoring and other stuff. That spurred him to grab a pair of pants she wasn’t wearing and light them on fire using a candle he had lit at the stove.

Firefighters arrived after getting reports of a suspicious fire at the house. Court documents show Whitaker woke up his wife, who was sleeping in the basement, when the fire got out of control.

Eyeballs found in trash at gas station

Police say they are trying to determine how a medical box containing a pair of eyeballs ended up in a trash bin at a gas station in Kansas City.

Police spokesman Steve Young says a worker at a Conoco station in the city’s north called police after finding the cardboard box late Wednesday. The box was labeled, “Keep refrigerated.”

Young says police aren’t sure if the eyes are human, or whether any crime has been committed. Surveillance video shows two men in a blue Toyota leaving the package on the trash bin.

Police say no eye banks or hospitals in the area were awaiting delivery of any eyeballs.

The Jackson County Medical Examiner’s office is holding the package while the investigation continues.
