The Puzzle Man has solved around 200 jigsaw puzzles.

A 91-year-old man from East Palestine, Ohio has won the hearts of facebookers with his newfound hobby. Nicknamed The Puzzle Man, David Butler spends most of his time solving puzzles and selling them for noble causes. Up till now, the pensioner has completed around 200 puzzles.

The Puzzle Man Helped A School Buy First Aid Kits

Cindy Fletcher, Butler’s daughter, wrote in a recent Facebook post that his father’s love for puzzles had become more than just a time killer. The man uses his newfound passion for solving ridiculously challenging puzzles to help members of his community. And the internet seems to love that.

According to Butler, who has spent the better part of his life in East Palestine, Ohio, he discovered that he had a thing for puzzles ever since Cindy gifted him a 500-piece set. This happened last October.

Ever since his ‘indoctrination,’ Butler, who was recently nicknamed The Puzzle Man by his Facebook followers, hasn’t stopped solving puzzles. Last time he checked, Butler solved over 200 puzzles.

During a recent interview, the pensioner declared that it doesn’t matter how easy or challenging the puzzle is, because he still finds a way to solve it.

His daughter said that it takes the Puzzle Man no more than two days to complete a session. However, every now and then, he takes up his sweet time solving one.

And apparently, it’s not just a hobby. When news of The Puzzle Man’s exploits broke up, he received requests from all over the country to tape himself while completing puzzles. He even started receiving them by mail.

Conclusion

Ashley Mckim, the Parent Teacher Organization VP, declared that thanks to Mr. Butler’s dedication, the local school now has first-aid kits.

Most of the time, Mr. Butler either donates or sells his completed puzzles. Some of the money he earns from his newfound hobby, he donated to various causes.

Georgia Couple Arrested For Keeping Mentally Challenged Daughter Locked Inside Room for Months

June 27, 2018 By Jeff Suchon Leave a Comment

locked door

Georgia couple kept daughter locked in bedroom because of her behavioral problems.

On Sunday, detectives arrested a Georgia couple who allegedly locked their mentally challenged daughter in her bedroom as a form of punishment. The authorities discovered recording devices inside the 18-year-old girl’s room, as well as a door-locking device that prevented her escape.

Georgia Couple Confessed Daughter Was Having ‘Behavioral Issues’

Janet and Neil Farrell, the Georgia couple arrested on Sunday, told the detectives they’d had good reasons to lock up their 18-year-old daughter. Allegedly, the child’s being diagnosed with ‘behavioral issues’ which makes it hard for her to maintain discipline.

According to the police report, on Saturday, the Georgia couple called the emergency line to report the child’s disappearance. They’ve told the police officers that their daughter went missing a night before and that she’s probably lost in the woods.

The authorities mounted a search and rescue party and eventually found the child. She confirmed spending the better part of the night looking for a way to get home.

During their stay at the couple’s house, the detectives found clues pointing to an escape attempt. According to the authorities, the door to the girl’s bedroom had an intricate locking mechanism which could have prevented her from escaping.

More than that, a search of the room revealed surveillance equipment and a metal bucket the child would use, at times, to urinate or defecate. The room itself appeared poorly furnished.

Conclusion

When the authorities confronted the Georgia couple about the child’s bedroom, the two admitted keeping her locked for periods ranging from days to months.

Moreover, the detectives discovered that during these prolonged punitive sessions, the girl was beaten on the soles and was denied everything except meals and bathroom time.

The Georgia couple was charged with first-degree cruelty to children, intimidation of disabled adults, and exploitation.

St. Johns Police Department is currently trying to identify the person or persons behind a couple of mysterious parcels. According to the police report, at least a dozen people reported getting the parcels since the beginning of the week.

Police Says Mysterious Parcels Contained CDs and Handwritten Letter

On Monday, a St. Johns Police Department officer posted the picture of a plain brown envelope. According to the accompanying description, several Michigan resident reported receiving these packages.

The curious object apparently contains a handwritten letter and a CD. The police officer who wrote about the mysterious parcel said that the authorities studied the envelope and found it to be same. However, the sender’s identity remains a mystery.

As to the letter’s content, a Facebook user who received the same envelope commented that it appears to have been written by an individual who was sick and tired of having to fight against the legal system.

St. Johns Police Department told the public not to worry about the unlabeled CD because the station’s forensic computer analyst found it free of viruses and other malware. As to its contents, the Department declared that it’s the sender’s life story in the form of a 40-minute-long audio clip.

Of course, after St. Johns Police Department posted about the mysterious parcels, Facebook users swarm the online to hypothesize about the sender and his letters.

While most agree that the individual behind the mysterious parcels is someone who years to be heard, other felt threatened, saying that the CD could contain trojans or hidden malware.

Conclusion

Still, the authorities said there’s no reason for concern, and that the most sensible thing to do in this case is to listen to the man’s sad story. So far, the police determined that at least a dozen residents have received these letters.

Today we choose to honor all those outstanding men and women in blue uniform, whose actions and dedication speak louder than words. A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer recently received the CMPD Acts of Excellence award after he helped a 75-year-old veteran retrieve the contents of his stolen wallet.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Kept Quiet About His Good Deed

Meet Officer Andrew Spottswood, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department veteran and somewhat of a local hero.

According to the police department’s Facebook page, Spottswood’s actions the kind of relationship authorities strive to cultivate with the community.

Last week, while on patrol, Spottswood was flagged down by a 75-year-old veteran man. With tears in his eyes, the man told Spottswood that someone stole his wallet, along with everything he had in it. The man said his wallet contained his ID card, debit card, driver’s license, and a bus pass.

Without second-guessing his decision, Spottswood asked the veteran to accompany him to DMV so that he could get a replacement driver’s license. He even offered to pay his $13 replacement fee. Next, he drove the veteran to the bank to get a replacement debit card.

However, Spottswood didn’t stop there. After leaving the bank, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer took the army veteran to a bus station so that he could get a replacement card.

Seeing that the man was tired and probably very hungry, Spottswood drove to the nearest restaurant and gave the old timer a hot meal.

Conclusion

Curiously enough, no one at the police station knew about Officer Spottswood’ day until the veteran called the police department to tell everyone about the young man who helped him get back on his feet.

For his dedication, Spottswood received the CMPD Acts of Excellence award and not to mention tons of praise from his Facebook fans.

Austin Jewelry Heir To Answer for Father’s Death

May 31, 2018 By Jeff Suchon Leave a Comment

jewelry

Austin jewelry heir plotted to have his father removed.

Nicolas Patrick Shaughnessy, the heir to an Austin-based jewelry company, will appear before the magistrates to answer for the death of Theodore Shaughnessy, his father. Court documents suggest that the Austin Jewelry heir and his live-in girlfriend could have approached several individuals, promising them money in exchange for Theodore’s head.

Austin Jewelry Heir Appointed Head of Company by Father

On Tuesday, Nicolas Patrick Shaughnessy and Jaclyn Alexa Edison, both 19, were taken into custody by Austin authorities and charged with one count of criminal solicitation to commit capital murder.

Edison and Shaughnessy were arrested at their College Station residence in connection with the March murder of Theodore Shaughnessy, Nicolas’s father.

According to the court document, on the 2nd of March, Corey Shaughnessy, Theodore’s spouse, contacted the authorities to report a shooting at their residence. When the deputies arrived at Mrs. Shaughnessy’s house, they found Theodore on the floor with a gunshot wound to his head. The man was declared dead at the scene.

In early April, Nicolas’ father, who was the owner and founder of Gallerie Jewelers, wrote on the company’s Facebook page that the intends to step down and pass the mantle to his boy.

However, by the end of March, Sheriff’s deputies amassed enough evidence to charge the Austin Jewelry heir and his girlfriend.

The couple’s police interview revealed that Shaughnessy paid an undisclosed sum for his father’s murder. Moreover, Shaughnessy allegedly approached several individuals in the months before Theodore’s death, making them similar offers.

Conclusion

Apparently, Theodore’s assassination should have been disguised in a home invasion. The individual who shot Nicolas’ father on the 2nd of March remains at large.

Nicolas and Jaclyn were booked on Wednesday into the county prison. Shaughnessy is being held on an $8 million bond while Edison’s bond has been set at $3 million.

“Beware” to Be the First Indie Horror Driving Game

May 29, 2018 By Jeff Suchon Leave a Comment

Remember “Driver,” one of the first semi-open-world games out there? If you’re a fan of the cult-classic but also taken aback by unnerving scenery and brooding mysteries, you should definitely try out “Beware”, an indie horror driving game.

What the Fudge Is “Beware”?

As Beware’s creator put it, the title is an open-world, exploration- and stealth-based game that puts the players in the shoes of a driver who sets out to “gather information.” Yes, that’s right – in this game you’ll need to steer, break, and hit that gas pedal to get away from other crazy drivers.

The game’s uniqueness comes from the blend of horror and driving. So far, Beware seems to be the first title that compels players to unravel a horror-like plot from the questionable safety of his car.

Note that all we know about the game comes from the demo, which was recently added to IndieDB.com.

The beginning kind of reminds us of Kholat, another Indie horror masterpiece, but the fog and 70s style car-chase-like camera panning takes everything to an entirely different level. It’s like Silent Hill, only with homicidal phantom drivers and, obviously, lots of driving.

As the game’s indieDB description suggests, Beware is still under development, so we should expect more surprises along the way.

Thus far, we’ve only driven around for a couple of miles and outraced a dude in a fancy car who was hell-bent on ramming our car.

Conclusion

We have to admit that, for an indie title, the world is astoundingly rich in details, with a soundtrack to match. If you can get passed the rudimentary UI and the slightly confusing menu, Beware will surely grow on you.

Launch-wise, we don’t know for sure what to expect from the title. Still, if you’re interested in Beware, be sure to hop on to indieDB and download the demo.

Plainridge Park Casino Worker Suspected of Spiking Co-Workers’ Drinks with Chemical Cleaner

May 25, 2018 By Jeff Suchon Leave a Comment

Chemical cleaner

Plainridge Park Casino janitor said she wanted to make co-worker nauseous.

State AG Maura Healy declared that a former Plainridge Park Casino employee was brought up on charges last week after authorities discovered that she attempted to poison her co-workers with a chemical cleaner. The woman declared that she has been having trouble with some of the casino’s employees.

Plainridge Park Casino Janitor Said That Woman Told Her That She Didn’t Clean a Bathroom

On Tuesday, Massachusetts State Police Gaming Enforcement Unit arrested 23-year-old Alexandria Martel, an Attleboro resident.

Based on the police report, Ms. Martel is suspect of deliberately pouring chemical cleaner into her co-worker’s water cups to send them home.

The authorities were alerted that day by one woman who noticed that her drink had an odd taste. Upon reviewing the security tapes, the police officers discovered that Martel was the last person seen in the area before the woman called the police.

According to the authorities, Martel, who’s working as a janitor at the Plainridge Park Casino, saw that two of co-workers left their water cups inside a storage room and went inside.

The security footage shows the woman lifting something from beneath the table and pouring a clear liquid into both cups.

During questioning, the woman told the arresting officers that the reason she chose to do what she did is that she’s lately been having trouble with some of her co-workers.

When the authorities asked her to elaborate, the Plainridge Park Casino janitor told them that a woman told her that she didn’t do a good job cleaning her bathroom. Martel also said that she’s mad because her co-workers never invite her to meals.

When the arresting officer asked her about the consequences of her actions, the woman said that she poured a small enough amount to make them feel nauseous, not to kill them.

The North Carolina man used two propane tanks to end his life.

Merced County deputies recently arrested a 42-year-old North Carolina man after he attempted to commit suicide. The man planned on dying alongside his 2-year-old daughter. Both were saved after the man’s former girlfriend contacted the authorities.

North Carolina Man Locked Himself and Daughter Inside Makeshift Gas Chamber

Last week, Gerardo Ruiz-Lopez, a 49-year-old Merced County resident, was found guilty of child abuse and attempted murder. For his deeds, Ruiz-Lopez could serve seven years to life in prison.

According to court documents, on the 16th of July 2016, Ruiz-Lopez’s former girlfriend contacted the authorities after receiving a blood-curdling message from the North Carolina man.

The woman told the authorities that the message hinted at Ruiz-Lopez murdering his daughter.

Minutes later, the first responders broke down the man’s front door. The man and his daughter were found unresponsive in a closet.

According to the police report, the North Carolina man was adamant about ending his life. Subsequently, inside his home, the authorities discovered a makeshift gas chamber. The contraption was powered by two five-gallon propane tanks.

Moreover, next to the closets the investigators found several pillows, some toys, and a tablet. Later, the bomb squad was called in to dispose of the propane tank.

As a precaution, the authorities cordoned off Ruiz-Lopez’s home and evacuated the neighborhood.

Conclusion

Fortunately, the ER doctors managed to save the 2-year-old child and her father. The North Carolina man offered no motive for his actions.

After his indictment, Ruiz-Lopez pleaded not guilty by reasons of insanity. Later on, dismissed the legal ground, stating that the man was previously found mentally fit by a court-appointed psychiatrist.

Ruiz-Lopez will remain locked in John Latorraca Correctional facility until his next court appearance. In conclusion, man could spend the rest of his days behind bars.

UK Mom Reveals the Dangers of Deodorant Challenge

May 11, 2018 By Jeff Suchon Leave a Comment

UK teen needs daily surgery after taking the deodorant challenge.

First, there was the ice bucket challenge and the Tide Pod Challenge. And now, another fad hops on the Internet challenges carrousel. Called the Deodorant Challenge, the latest thing to make teenagers go gag-gaga has already made its first victim in the United Kingdom, as a deeply concerned mother reveals.

Deodorant Challenged Sends UK Teen to Hospital for Surgery

Jamie Prescott, a Bristol resident and the mother of a 15-year-old daughter, recently posted a warning on her Facebook page.

As Prescott reveals, the role of her post is to raise awareness on an emerging Internet trend called the deodorant challenge.

The Bristol mom accompanied her post with graphical images depicted her daughter’s wounds.

According to the woman, this new fad involves emptying a can of deodorant on someone’s arm or leg.

It might sound silly, but the consequences of this action are far-reaching, as the University of Utah’s Health blog reveals.

The purpose of this challenge is to hold on as long as you can while someone sprays deodorant on you.

Normally, this wouldn’t be much of an issue, but prolonged exposure to aerosol deodorant can land you in the emergency room first-, second-, and third-degree burns.

University of Utah dermatologist David Smith declared that the pressurized gas inside a can of deodorant could severely damage the skin. Moreover, exposure to aerosol deodorant can actually freeze the skin, producing frostbite-like wounds.

Conclusion

Following her exploit, the Bristol teen is now forced to go almost every day to the local hospital for surgery. More than that, according to Prescott’s post, the child might require skin grafts.

Smith argued that the so-called deodorant challenge isn’t that new, the first cases being reported in 2015.

Prescott ended her post by saying that her daughter’s arm wounds haven’t healed even after three weeks of treatment.

Indiana Man Call Cops to Complain About Smell Coming from Dead Body

May 4, 2018 By Jeff Suchon Leave a Comment

Indiana Man

The Indiana man claimed he got angry after a botched oxycodone transaction.

On Monday, the Indiana authorities arrested a 42-year-old individual and charged him with first-degree murder. According to the police report, the Indiana man called 911 to complain about the rancid smell coming from the bathroom. He also told the operator that he stashed a dead body in his bathroom.

Indiana Man Shot Victim After Oxycodone Spat, Authorities Declared

An Indiana Police Department spokesperson confirmed that on Monday, the police officers arrested 42-year-old Dwight Shotts, following a peculiar 911 call.

Based on the police report, the individual, who should definitely receive the most ‘intelligent’ criminal award, called the emergency line and informed the operator that he can no longer stay in his house. When the dispatcher asked him about his problem, the man calmly replied that there’s a foul odor coming from his bathroom.

More than that, the individual actually said that the smell is probably coming from the dead body he placed in the tub (seriously, dude?!?).

When the law enforcement officers arrived at Shotts’ house, they’ve found the body of an individual inside the man’s tub, just like the Indiana man said. The man was promptly arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

During his police interview, Shotts confessed to gunning down his victim, later identified as 35-year-old Anthony Cline and keeping his body in the tub for a week because he ‘panicked’ and didn’t know what else to do.

Conclusion

When asked why he killed Cline, the Indiana man first declared that he was supposed to meet Cline about an oxycodone transaction and that he shot him because he tried to swindle him. However, Shotts later changed his confession, claiming that another individual entered his home and killed Cline because he owed him money.

According to the coroner’s report, Cline’s cause of death was a gunshot wound to the back of his head.
