Reason magazine's blog reports that our nation's crack security forces are protecting us all from the scourge of rogue lemonade stands.
Police in Georgia have shut down a lemonade stand run by three girls trying to save up for a trip to a water park, saying they didn't have a business license or the required permits.
Yeah, but she'll do until a real one comes along:
An Indianapolis mother accused of leaving her children in a hot car and then attacking a woman who stepped in to help made a mistake, but she isn't a monster, her family said Wednesday.
OK, Castle Doctrine fans, was this home defender an example of courage or foolhardiness?
EVANSVILLE — An East Riverside Drive resident interrupted a burglary at his home Wednesday morning and held a man in the house at gunpoint until police arrived.
Joseph Vallar, who lives at 1323 E. Riverside Drive, rushed home from work about 10 a.m. Wednesday when a neighbor alerted him that someone was inside his home.
The punishment seems a little harsh for the crime here, wouldn't you say?
- A Dillard's employee who was fired after being labeled a "hot dog thief" should not have been denied his unemployment benefits, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled.
Nolan Koewler was fired after Dillard's Fourth of July picnic in 2010 for eating two leftover hot dogs from the refrigerator.
Maybe I shouldn't tempt fate by mentioning it, but there actually seem to be fewer violations in my neighborhood this year:
Fort Wayne police have received more than 100 complaints recently about people setting off fireworks. That's in violation of a city ordinance that prohibits from ireworks being set off more than five days before the fourth of July.
Remember the Fourth Amendment? Oh, that old thing. We'll never miss it:
Oh, dear. Indiana is becoming famous again:
An Amish man accused of sexting a minor with graphic photos was arrested after arriving in a horse-drawn buggy for what he thought was a sexual encounter with the 12-year-old girl, WRTV reports.
I don't have much sympathy for Secretary of State Charlie White's excuse for his voting-irregularity problem -- that his complicated personal life made him "practically homeless" for a year and thus confused about where he should vote. That's in the same league as "the dog ate my homework" and "I never would have misbehaved if I'd been sober," not something the state's chief election officer should be saying.
Shocking, simply shocking:
A Muncie man was arrested Sunday for driving a scooter intoxicated on Interstate 69.
Tobey E. Gaddis was spotted Sunday morning heading southbound on a scooter on I-69, when an Indiana State Police trooper pulled him over. Scooters and mo-peds are not allowed on the U.S. interstate systems.
