Suspected bomb turns out to be string cheese

CENTERVILLE, Utah (AP) - A piece of string cheese made to look like a bomb forced the temporary closure of a Centerville grocery store. Police were called to Dick's Market over the weekend for a report that a someone had left a device covered in duct tape near a dry ice cooler.
The store remained closed for two hours while bomb-sniffing dogs and a bomb technician investigated.
They eventually found the device was a piece of cheese.
Centerville police Lt. Paul Child said juveniles are suspected of planting the item in the store.
He says the closure caused thousands of dollars in losses to the store, including from milk, ice cream and other items that spoiled during the closure and had to be thrown out.
You would think the dog would have eaten the cheese. Of course how one mistakes cheese and duct tape for a bomb is beyond me. C-4 doesn't look like string cheese.

MILWAUKEE (AP) - A Milwaukee man was accused of shooting his
lawn mower because it wouldn't start. Keith Walendowski, 56, was charged with
felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed. According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski said he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning. He told police quote, "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want." A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She said he was intoxicated. Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted. A call to Walendowski's home went unanswered Friday morning.
For that kind of money he could have gotten himself a really nice riding mower. But it was his mower, shouldn't he have the right to shoot it?
