MAN SENTENCED FOR URINATING ON TRANSFORMER: A man who urinated on a transformer in the U.K. last March has been sentenced to one year in prison for the incident that caused 2,000 homes to lose power. The culprit, 36-year-old Michael Harper, suffered severe burns to his body and face during the act which he and an accomplice carried out while trying to break into the power station to steal metal and take heroin. The judge sentenced the accomplice -- who left Harper to flee -- to four years in jail but only gave Harper a one year term, telling him, "[You] suffered a punishment, it seems to me, already. You were seriously injured and very nearly lost your life, and will be permanently disfigured."

TEEN LIFTS CAR TO SAVE GRANDFATHER: A 15-year-old in Michigan was somehow able to lift a 1991 2,000-pound Buick to free his grandfather who was trapped underneath the vehicle. Austin Smith, said he was working on the car with his "Papa Ernie" when the Buick fell off the cinder blocks and trapped his grandfather. Smith said, "I was just so scared. I didn't know what to do." Somehow, the teen was able to grab the front end of the car and lift it up just enough for Papa Ernie to get out. Smith added that it was "probably all the adrenaline," adding, "I mean, I couldn't do it right now." The grandfather was treated for fractured ribs, a fractured eye socket and a serious wound to his face. Papa Ernie, whose real name is Ernest Monhollen, said, "Thank God he was here because if it was just me and his grandmother it would have been over. That would have been it."

 

MAN SUES UNCLE OVER EMBARRASSING FACEBOOK PHOTO: A Minneapolis resident who was tagged in embarrassing Facebook photos has tried to sue the person who tagged him -- his uncle. Eric Olson said his uncle, Randall LaBrie, posted several photos of him as a child along with comments that Olson felt were disrespectful. Olson tried suing him for harassment but the state Court of Appeals rejected his claims, stating, "Comments that are mean and disrespectful, coupled with innocuous family photos, do not affect a person's safety, security, or privacy -- and certainly not substantially so."
