Fiery collapse of railway bridge captured on video
A railway bridge on the northern edge of the Hill Country, Texas, came crashing down after flames engulfed the massive structure on Sunday.
The bridge spans the Colorado River along the San Saba and Lampasas county line. A foot bridge that crosses the river also burned. Volunteer firefighters from Lometa and San Saba were on the scene for more than 15 hours.
Crews responded to the call at 4:30pm on Sunday and finally left the scene at 8pm on Monday. According to the San Saba County Sheriff, the train trestle was built in 1910 and is privately owned by Heart of Texas Railroad in Brady, Texas.

The company mainly used the line to move sand for fracking from Brady to Lomita. "It was an area landmark," said Sheriff Steve Boyd. "One landowner actually brought property nearby because he liked looking at the trestle." Video shot by Jaime Smart, a member of the Lometa VFD, captured the bridge burning and falling to the ground.

Rough and Ready rodeo argument ended with wife biting man’s genitals
A man whose wife bit him on the genitals after an argument after a rodeo says his only regret is calling 911 on her.
Anthony Hill, from Rough and Ready in Nevada County, California, is still healing and says he’s standing by his wife, Christina Salinas. Hill said Sunday was supposed the be a fun night out at the Penn Valley Rodeo.
He says the argument followed a series of stressful events in their lives, including the fact Salinas’ ex-husband now lives with them. Hill wanted to leave early, she wanted to stay.
When they got home, the argument continued. Salinas’ ex-husband tried to separate the two, and when both men went to hold her down, that’s when she allegedly bit his penis. But he says he’s already made up with her, saying it’s just what they normally do - except they don’t call 911. “I’ve assaulted her before in arguments,” Hill said. “We work it out and I went beyond that.”

Snow cone vendor sacked after taking his wares into toilet stall as he went about his business
A food vendor at Minute Maid Park in Houston has been fired after cell phone footage caught the man laying a tray of snow cones on the ground while going to the bathroom on Monday night.
The footage shows a ball park snow cone vendor sitting on a toilet in a stall with an entire box full of the products he’s about to sell. They sit on the bathroom floor right next to him.
The person who recorded the video said: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This guy is taking a dump. There’s no doubt about it. What sane person could possibly think, yeah this is a good idea. I’ll just put the food that I’m about to sell on the floor.”
The man complained about what he saw right away. Reid Ryan, the Houston Astros' new president said the snow cone vendor was fired immediately.

Cheesemaking gran told by police not to supply Double Gloucester for cheese rolling event
Cheese maker Diana Smart has been told by police not to provide a Double Gloucester for Monday's iconic downhill chase. Police have taken a hard line on cheese rollers determined to keep the daredevil tradition alive. They have persuaded grandmother Diana, 86, to break with a 25-year tradition by not supplying this year's cheese, which madcap thrill seekers have chased down Cooper's Hill for generations.
Organisers of the annual spectacle said they will defy any bid to stop it, however, and police officers will be patrolling the area on Monday to make sure things don't get out of hand. Those behind the event are furious at Gloucestershire Constabulary's move. "It's outrageous," said one organiser, who plans to hold the cheese rolling at Cooper's Hill on Monday regardless. "You cannot stop someone selling cheese. If they try to stop us, we will use something else or get some cheese elsewhere."
Diana, who sells her handmade cheeses everywhere from farmers markets to Fortnum and Mason, confirmed police had spoken to her. "We are not allowed to," said the Birdwood cheese maker. "They said it could cause us an enormous amount of damages. I just have to take it as they have said. We cannot do anything about it." Since the early 1800s a cheese has been chased down the 200 yard, one in three, hill. But after an estimated 15,000 people tried to watch in 2009, organisers of the 2010 event were forced to cancel on the advice of police and councils.
A Gloucestershire police spokesman said: "Advice has been given to all those who have participated in any planning of an unofficial cheese rolling event this coming bank holiday. This included the individuals who provide the cheese. We feel it is important that those who, by law, could be constituted as organisers of the event are aware of the responsibilities that come with it so that they can make an informed decision about their participation."

Drunken friends killed and butchered lamb in field to have a free roast dinner
Two friends killed and mutilated a lamb because they fancied a free roast dinner. Matthew Davidson, 28, and Kevin Sherratt, 33, grabbed the animal from a farm in Macclesfield, Cheshire, before beating it to death with a hammer.
They cut off two of its legs and head before fleeing the scene. The slaughter was captured in a series on photos including one where Davidson paraded the lamb’s head. But the drunken prank backfired when they sent the photos to a friend who alerted police.
Davidson, of Brocklehurst Avenue, Hurdsfield, Macclesfield, and Sherratt, of Kendal Road, Weston, Macclesfield, both admitted criminal damage and theft at the town’s magistrates court. Magistrates heard that police had wanted to charge the pair with animal cruelty but officers could not prove the animal suffered.
Trevor Feehily, defending the pair who are both unemployed, said the incident had been triggered by booze. He said: “It doesn’t excuse what either of them have done. Both said it was drunken and complete stupidity.” They will be sentenced on June 7.

Shoplifter claimed he stole joint of beef because it reminded him of his dead grandmother
A shoplifter had a £20,000 crown court trial over claims a stolen joint of beef reminded him of his dead grandmother. John Casey was caught on Asda’s shop camera hiding a £12 roast in a rucksack at the Washington Galleries store last October and arrested for theft. But the 51-year-old denied he was being dishonest and said he had moved the meat out of sight as it was giving him “flashbacks” about his grandma, who died of a blood clot when he was a child. Casey, of Oxclose, Washington, Tyne and Wear, was tried over two days by a jury at Newcastle Crown Court. The unemployed dad-of-eight denied the theft charge throughout.
The estimated cost per day of a trial per day is £10,000 and the case was heard before John Milford QC, one of the north’s top judges. Prosecutor Michael Hodson told the court at the start of the case: “The defendant accepts placing the joint of beef in his bag deliberately. He says he did so because he was experiencing a flashback to his grandmother’s traumatic death, which had been triggered by the sight of the joint of beef. He says it was necessary to conceal the beef in order to control the effects of the flashback. Such flashbacks are very disturbing says the defendant, who takes medication for depression and anxiety.
“His grandmother passed away when the defendant was a child.” Mr Hodson told jurors: “It will be up to you to judge how the meat effected his state of mind.” Casey told jurors during his evidence he had been only seven or eight when he witnessed his grandmother’ death. He said: “After I picked the meat up and was walking around the shop it was the blood in the bag that was bringing it on. Every day my grandmother is with me, I remember her, but this was not like any other. I was re-living it, it was like I was there with her again. The blood in the bag was bringing it on, it was like I was there, like it was living it.
“The more I was looking at the blood, the more it was real, surreal.”Casey said he was not trying to steal the meat and told jurors: “I would never have walked out without paying for it, that’s a dead cert.” After just over an hour deliberation Casey, who has never shoplifted in the past but has other convictions, was found guilty. The judge sentenced Casey to a conditional discharge for two years and told him: “You have caused a huge amount of unnecessary expense to be incurred by electing trial and you have got no means from which you can cover the costs of this expensive trial. If you come in front of me again I will be a lot less sympathetic.”

Man chopped off his penis with kitchen knife in Mutton Row
There were horrific scenes in Penryn, Cornwall, on Friday when a man chopped his penis off with a kitchen knife in front of horrified onlookers. The 43-year-old man, who lives in the town, could be seen running along Mutton Row at around 8.45pm, allegedly naked.
He then brandished the knife and cut off his penis, before collapsing to the ground. A spokesman for South Western Ambulance Service said paramedics arrived just before 9pm the man was “bleeding heavily” and had fallen unconscious when they found him.
Police received the initial call from a member of the public, to say there was concern for a man. A spokesperson confirmed that there was no one else involved in the incident. The man was taken by land ambulance to the emergency department at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, where he was later described as being in a “stable” condition.
His injuries are not thought to the life threatening. It is thought the man may suffer from a mental health issue. It is understood that two women saw the incident unfold and ran terrified to a nearby house, where a man took them in and called the police.

Hedgehog deflated by vets in life-saving procedure
An inflated hedgehog discovered in Bude, Cornwall, had to undergo a life-saving procedure after vets feared he could burst. The prickly animal, which had swollen to twice its usual size, had to be deflated by staff at Locke and Preston Vets. Veterinary surgeon Adam Revitt said: "The hedgehog was so swollen and very inflated. It couldn't curl up into a ball and couldn't move.”
At first the team couldn't understand how the spherical creature could be so large and yet remain a normal weight until an x-ray revealed a giant air pocket trapped under the animal’s skin. Mr Revitt diagnosed the animal with balloon syndrome, a rare condition which he had never encountered before, and used a standard syringe to puncture its ballooning belly and let the air gently escape.
He said: "I took an X-ray and then a needle and syringe to drain the air. It took around five minutes to drain all the air out fully.” Fortunately the rudimentary operation was a complete success and the 500g hedgehog has now reverted back to its normal size. "The hedgehog looked instantly brighter,” Mr Revitt said. “He was trying to move around and he was tucking into his food.” Balloon syndrome occurs when bacteria gets into a wound and gives off gas that becomes trapped under the skin, Mr Revitt explained.

He added: "This is the first case I had ever seen. It is uncommon. There are very few things published about it. Without the treatment it couldn’t breathe and would probably have died." The animal was given pain relief and antibiotics and is now being cared for by Sue Gear, a receptionist at the surgery who also runs her own animal shelter. She said: "The hedgehog is with me and is doing absolutely fine. He is putting on weight. I want to release him back where he came from in the next week or so."

Disgruntled football fan threw false teeth at manager
An unhappy Argentinian football fan had his unique say on the performance of his underachieving team.
The Argentinos Juniors supporter, whose identity is still unknown, threw his dentures at manager Ricardo Caruso Lombardi after the home side collapsed to a fifth straight league defeat against Belgrano and slumped closer to the relegation zone.
Martin Zapata's strike had given Belgrano a 3-1 second-half lead, and unrest began to grow among the crowd in the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

When the camera panned to manager Caruso Lombardi though, the director spotted something on the grass and zoomed in on the denture, sitting proudly upright just away from the playing surface.

Tourists rescued after dining out on iceberg
Four tourists were rescued from a piece of floating ice in Fjallsárlón glacial lagoon, East Iceland, on Sunday afternoon. Fjallsárlón is just west of the popular Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon.
According to Páll Sigurður Vignisson, a member of the Hornafjörður rescue team and employee at Jökulsárlón, the tourists, who were from the United States, had set up a table and chairs on an ice floe with the plan of eating dinner when a gust of wind suddenly pushed the ice away from land, leaving them stranded about 10 metres from the shore.
One of the tourists managed to jump to shore before the ice drifted too far and called 112 for help. "When we arrived it was quite comical to see them sitting on chairs and with a table on an iceberg ... Yes the dinner was over," Páll said, adding that he had not noticed what they had been eating as he was too busy getting life vests to them.
The situation could have been more serious, though. “They could have been in danger. We never know how ice will behave, if it rolls over and when—we just don’t know.”

Woman accused of poisoning family members for not sharing cheese
A Nash County, North Carolina, woman upset over being told she couldn't have some cheese tried to poison several family members over the weekend, authorities said on Monday.
Tiara Danielle Drake, 24, was charged with five counts of attempted first-degree murder and is being held in the Nash County jail under a $50,000 bond.
Investigators said Drake asked a family member on Friday for some of her cheese, but the woman refused and told Drake to get some other cheese from the refrigerator. Drake was so incensed, authorities said, that she laced the cheese in the refrigerator with Ajax, window cleaner and detergent.
The family used the cheese when it made breakfast on Saturday, and four members already had eaten some before someone noticed the cheese had been poisoned, authorities said. One of the family members called Poison Control, which advised the victims to drink plenty of milk to counteract the poison.

Dispute over bowl of rice led to ruckus involving iron, pan and broomstick
An apparent dispute over rice between sisters erupted into a battle involving an iron, a pot and a broomstick, according to statements in a recently released arrest affidavit. Police in Port St. Lucie, Florida, went to an address in Southwest Bellevue Avenue on May 1 after a domestic disturbance report. The sister of Marentine St Louis, 29, told investigators that she and St Louis got in a rice-related rumpus.
The sister said St Louis took her bowl of rice, and they started yelling at each other. The sister said St Louis began hitting her, and that St Louis got an iron and hit her over the head. The siblings' father separated them, but minutes later St Louis followed her sister, attempting to hit her with a small pot.
The sister said she went outside and St Louis locked her out. When the sister got back in, St Louis tried to jab her with a broom stick. The sister had a head injury and bite marks on her arms. Meanwhile, St Louis told police they got in a fight. She said she "came at" her sister with a broomstick, but their father grabbed it. St Louis denied striking her sister with an iron or anything else.
Police contacted the father, who had left for work, by phone. "He was brief with me and said they had an argument, referred me to their mother that was never home and then hung up on me," theaffidavit states. St Louis was arrested on felony charges including aggravated battery and aggravated assault.

Man allegedly tried to strangle partner with kitchen tongs and assault her with meat
A 25-year-old man has been denied bail after he allegedly assaulted his partner while she held a five-month-old baby and burnt her with a piece of meat.
The man appeared in the Cairns Magistrates' Court in Australia's Northern Terrotory, after he was arrested on Wednesday night following an incident at a Digger St residence.
He arrived at Cairns Base Hospital as his injured partner was talking with police and a footchase ensued after which he allegedly spat at officers.
It is alleged he tried to strangle the 26-year-old woman with kitchen tongs and burnt her with a piece of meat, resulting in injuries including bruising, cracked teeth and a small stab wound. Magistrate Anthony Gett refused bail because he said there was a risk the man would commit further offences and the matter was adjourned to July 3.
