Couple left bikes in yard to lure thieves, beat them with bats and post videos to YouTube
VISALIA, Calif. (KTLA) – Police arrested a man and woman Wednesday who they say left a bicycle unattended in the front yard of their California home, then attacked would-be thieves who tried to steal it with baseball bats and posted videos of the assaults to YouTube in recent months.
Visalia residents Corey Cornutt, 25, and Savannah Grillot, 29, were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy in connection with the series of at least four beatings, which took place between July and November near their home, according to the Visalia Police Department.
“In the videos, it appears as if the suspects planted a bicycle in the front yard of their residence, unsecured, and waited for someone to try and steal the bicycle,” police said in a written statement. “Once someone tried to steal the bike, the suspects would rush from the house and assault the individual with a baseball bat.”
The four victims identified in the investigation suffered injuries described as not life-threatening.
Anyone with information was urged to contact Visalia police Detective James Cummings at 559-713-4722.

Doctor pleads guilty to producing child pornography after secretly recording children’s medical exams
(CNN) — A Denver doctor accused of secretly recording nude images of children during medical examinations pleaded guilty to child pornography charges on Friday, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.
Dr. Justin Neisler is scheduled to be sentenced May 22 on charges of producing child pornography and faces 15 to 30 years in federal prison, the statement said.
“Today’s plea represents the FBI’s dedication to pursuing those that exploit children,” FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Dean Phillips said. “This case should serve as a deterrent to those who utilize their positions of trust in the victimization of children.”
In November 2018, the Colorado Springs Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force received a tip that Neisler had been uploading child pornography to a social media site since October of that year. In March, authorities executed a search warrant at his home, where they found approximately 6,600 still images and 1,725 videos of child pornography from the Internet on his electronic devices, according to the statement.
Neisler admitted to authorities during the search that he had examined minors. Investigators found that unbeknownst to his patients, Neisler used a pen with a hidden camera and his phone to record them while they were undressed for medical exams, the statement said.
“There are few violations of trust worse than when a doctor takes advantage of a child in the exam room for his own sexual gratification,” US Attorney Jason Dunn said. “Thankfully, Dr. Neisler was caught and will never again be in a position to harm children under the guise of helping them.”
The children have been identified and interviewed to investigate if other offenses occurred, to address their needs and to ensure that the videos have not been distributed, according to the news release.

This playboy tortoise had so much sex he saved his entire species. Now he’s going home
(CNN) — A womanizing tortoise whose rampant sex life may have single-handedly saved his entire species from extinction has retired from his playboy lifestyle, returning to the wild with his mission accomplished.
Diego’s unstoppable libido was credited as a major reason for the survival of his fellow giant tortoises on Espanola, part of the Galapagos Islands, after being shipped over from San Diego zoo as part of a breeding program.
When he started his campaign of promiscuity, there were just two males and 12 females of his species alive on the island.
But the desirable shell-dweller had so much sex he helped boost the population to over 2,000. The Galapagos National Parks service believe the 100-year-old tortoise is the patriarch of around 40% of that population.
“He’s contributed a large percentage to the lineage that we are returning to Espanola,” Jorge Carrion, the park’s director, told AFP. “There’s a feeling of happiness to have the possibility of returning that tortoise to his natural state.”
A total of 15 tortoises took part in the breeding program to boost the island’s population, but none played a big a role as Diego.
“About 1,800 tortoises have been returned to Espanola and now with natural reproduction we have approximately 2,000 tortoises,” Carrion told AFP.
“This shows that they are able to grow, they are able to reproduce, they are able to develop,” he said.
The Galapagos Islands are one of the world’s premier destinations for wildlife viewing, and were visited by Charles Darwin as he worked on the theory of evolution.

U.S. Mint to Release New Quarters Featuring Samoan Fruit Bats
The United States Mint has released the final designs for the America the Beautiful Quarters program, and one of the designs depicts a Samoan fruit bat hanging in a tree with her pup.
The quarter was designed by Richard Masters, and Phebe Hemphill was the sculptor, according to the US Mint. It is being released to honor the National Park of American Samoa.
The design of the quarter is being used to raise awareness to the threatened status of Samoan fruit bats due to habitat loss and commercial hunting, according to the US Mint. Samoan fruit bats are native to the National Park of American Samoa.
Located 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii, it is one of the most remote parks in the US National Park System, the US Mint says.
The America the Beautiful Quarters Program was started in 2010 by the United States Mint. Every year, 56 quarter-dollar coins featuring designs depicting national parks and other national sites are released.

(That turned out to be perfect as a candle).”

The candle is currently sold out, but is expected to be re-stocked. Curious consumers can currently add their name to a waitlist to be the first to know when “This Smells Like My Vagina” will hit the digital shelves once again.

TRICK DADDY Arrested In Miami DUI AND COCAINE POSSESSION
Trick Daddy had yet another run-in with the law … this time getting busted for cocaine possession and driving under the influence.
According to the arrest report, cops say they found TD asleep behind the wheel early Saturday morning and asked him where he was going/where he was coming from. The officer says he told them he’d come from a club and had just dropped someone off.
Sure enough, the police say they asked Trick Daddy if he’d had anything to drink that night — and they say he told them he’d had a few drinks hours ago. Cops say they saw him with bloodshot eyes and using slurred speech, so they conducted field sobriety tests.
The responding officers suspected he was driving under the influence, so they placed him under arrest. The cops say they transported him to a nearby jail, where he allegedly refused to offer a breath sample to determine how much booze might’ve been in his system.
And, lastly, the cops say when they conducted a search of Trick Daddy’s belongings … they claim they found a dollar bill with what they believed to be cocaine residue on the inside. He was ultimately booked for DUI and cocaine possession.
His bond was on the cocaine charge was set at $5,000, and for driving under the influence … another $1,000.
This isn’t the first time he was arrested for cocaine, he was also arrested in April 2014 when police went to his Florida home and found a gram of cocaine in his nightstand and a 9mm gun under his pillow.
For that case, he was booked into jail and later bonded out — after being charged with possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, and driving with a suspended license.
