Cop Makes Arrest In Bathroom After Smelling Crack

or
What Else Would You Expect To Smell?

Of course the actual CBS/AP article is referring to crack cocaine.
The Cecil County Sheriff's Office said a deputy about to take a bathroom break at a gas station smelled crack cocaine and made a quick arrest.
I knew Wawa's carried a lot of convenience items, but that is ridiculous.

Fires cause $6.6M damage across city overnight

or
Hot Time In The City

The "no duh" part of the story doesn't occur until the very last paragraph of the story in the Ottawa Citizen:
All three fires are being treated as suspicious and are being investigated by the arson unit. Ottawa Paramedics said they took a man with third-degree burns to 90 per cent of his body to hospital from a hotel in the west end Friday morning. Police were not drawing any link between the unidentified man and the fires.
No, a completely burned man in the same area as a four alarm blaze has to be a total coincidence.

Wife who set husband's genitals alight on murder charge

or
The Burning Bed Part 2

From The Australian, we have an Adelaide woman who has done Lorenna Bobbit one better:
A MOTHER of three accused of murdering her husband by setting his genitals alight allegedly told neighbours she was a "jealous wife" who had learned he was having an affair, a court heard yesterday.

Rajini Narayan, 44, appeared in Adelaide Magistrates Court where she faced an upgraded charge of murder after her husband, Satish Narayan, died on December 27 from his injuries after being burned in his home.
Because murder is what they usually charge you with if your husband dies after you set his junk aflame.

Ouch!
