Man finds $27,000 on the ground near ATM, returns it to bank
Meredith) – When a Michigan man found a case filled with $27,000 in cash, he didn’t take the money and run.
Surveillance video captured the moment George Condash returned all of the cash to the Westland Federal Credit Union, located about 25 miles west of Detroit.
He found the money near an ATM outside the credit union, WDIV reported. An armored security guard apparently left it there by mistake.
A video shows Condash stopping his vehicle to pick it up.
“Well, first, I just thought it was trash,” he said. “For some reason it hit me that, ‘Why don’t I just pick this up so no one else has to swerve around it?'”
Without hesitation, Condash decided to return the cash — even after seeing the large amount on the case.

“I picked it up and noticed a tag that said it was $40,000,” he said. “I said, ‘Is there a reward for $40,000?’ I put it on their counter, and they just looked dumbfounded.”
Turns out, there was only $27,000 inside.
“It’s not mine and any honest person, I would hope, would take it back in,” Condash said.
According to WDIV, the credit union gave Condash a small token of appreciation for his good deed.

Man allegedly kills pro-Trump boss after argument, throws American flag on his body
A construction worker in Florida has been accused of murdering his pro-Trump boss with a trowel after a political argument on the construction site where they both worked and then throwing an American flag on the man’s body.
The incident occurred on Monday morning at approximately 10:30 a.m. when emergency dispatchers received a call from co-workers saying that Mason Trever Toney, 28, had stabbed and killed their boss, 28-year-old William Steven Knight on the Florida Turnpike job site, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by ABC News’ Orlando affiliate WFTV.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office says that the murder appears related to a political dispute between the men. Knight was a big supporter of President Donald Trump while Toney was anti-government.
“[Toney is] anti-government and very outspoken about his beliefs that the government is bad and out to get him,” said Toney’s arrest affidavit.
When deputies arrived they found Knight’s body lying next to an excavator on the job site with a brand new American flag thrown onto the side of the victim’s body that didn’t belong to anybody on the site, according to the arrest affidavit.
A preliminary report determined that the weapon used to murder Knight was a trowel, according to ABC News’ Houston station KTRK.
After Toney allegedly killed Knight he stole a white pick-up truck and fled the scene of the crime but was taken into custody shortly after crashing the vehicle in a brief pursuit in Brevard County, Florida.
Police confirmed that Toney was arrested and taken into custody without incident in a statement on social media.
Toney is currently being held in Orange County without bond.

Wife tases man after finding him with another woman at nightclub
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A Wichita Falls woman was charged with tasing her husband after police said she went looking for him and found him at a nightspot with his girlfriend.
Irlanda Parra, 24, was charged with assault family violence.
Just after 2 a.m. Sunday police were called by the victim at Jefe’s restaurant on Southwest Parkway, which police say operates as a night club on the weekend.
He said Parra was his child’s mother and she was in the parking lot armed with a taser.
Officers said when they arrived several people were arguing and a gold car was trying to leave.
An officer stopped the car driven by Parra and said she told them she came to pick up her husband, and that his girlfriend and her friends tried to jump her.
She said that’s when she pulled out the taser and pointed it at the girlfriend and her friends.
Officers said Parra first said her husband had called her to come get him, but later changed it to a friend had told her her husband was at the club with another woman, and that she went there to confront them.
Police said the man told them he was trying to leave with his girlfriend when Parra arrived and blocked his vehicle in.
He said she got out of her car and began trying to tase him and his girlfriend, and showed officers redness where he said he got tased on his hand.
Witnesses told officers they saw Parra attempting to tase several people in the lot.
The man said another person was able to disarm Parra, and the taser was found near her car.
Court records show that last October Parra was granted a protective order against a man who was harassing and threatening her because she filed for child support.
She said he went to bars every weekend and got drunk then came to her house at all hours to threaten her. She said he broke the windows out of her car with a bat one time.

Weird TikTok trend has men dipping their testicles in soy sauce to ‘taste it’
Taste testes.
A groundbreaking 2013 study of how mice can taste with their testicles has resurfaced online. And now social media bozos are testing the theory, first published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, by dipping their genitals in soy sauce for the latest bizarre TikTok trend.
The study was apparently rediscovered by TikTok user Regan, who challenged male social media users to “please dip your balls in something [because] it’s for science and I must know.”
Go figure: TikTokers were eager to lend their scrotums to science. One viral response — posted five days ago by user Alx James — depicts an intrepid gastronomer basting his sack with soy sauce (don’t worry, he doesn’t show the actual application) while sitting in his car with takeout grub. James says he was inspired by the portion of the study that claims “the amino acids inside soy sauce can also be detected by the balls.”
James also claims his testicular taste test was a success. “Oh my God, I can taste the salt!” exclaims the ecstatic experimenter, adding “that’s ridiculous” before the clip ends.
Needless to say, the viral vid racked up more than 800,000 likes and 9,000-plus comments from the peanut gallery. “When I was younger, I thought in 2020 we’d have flying cars but no it’s just guys dipping their junk in soy sauce,” mused one social media pundit.
“All the Asian food restaurants are wondering ‘why r so many people coming in for a packet of soy sauce?’ ” joked another.
“I wish I had balls so I could try this,” lamented one sad sackless TikToker.
James wasn’t the only one to conduct the unorthodox experiment. Social media guru GayGod (a k a YouTuber Matthew Lush) seconded Alex’s findings in another viral vid, claiming to his 966,000 followers he could detect the soy sauce and orange juice.
However, much to some medical professionals’ chagrin, there’s no evidence “to back up any claims that men (of any species) can actually taste things through their junk,” Dr. Kieran Kennedy told Men’s Health.
The Melbourne, Australia-based “mental health advocate” adds that while studies have shown that various tissues, including the testes, harbor taste receptors, there’s no proof “that any animal can actually ’taste’ via these receptors like we’d taste something from the mouth.”
However, in the realm of absurd social media trends, the soy-bagging experiment isn’t nearly as harebrained as gobbling Tide Pods, swallowing a pile of cinnamon powder or trying to sop up a pool with paper towels.

Mont Belvieu teen won’t be able to walk at graduation unless he cuts his dreadlocks
MONT BELVIEU, Texas — On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a district that touts its excellence found itself embroiled in controversy about race, discrimination and dreadlocks.
“The dress code is designed by white people for white people and is damaging to black bodies,” said Black Lives Matter activist Ashton Woods.
Activists stood beside Deandre Arnold and his family as they addressed the Barbers Hill ISD school board. Deandre has been suspended and won’t be allowed to walk at graduation in three months unless he cuts his locs.
“This is a black and white issue,” said Gary Monroe, with the United Urban Alumni Association. “Deandre (and) his family should not have to go through this. But I expect it from a board that has zero diversity.”
The district says this isn’t about locs or race.
“There is no dress code policy that prohibits any cornrow or any other method of wearing of the hair,” said Superintendent Greg Poole. “Our policy limits the length. It’s been that way for 30 years.”
A handful of speakers agreed with the district and pleaded with board members not to make an exception with the rules, but the majority didn’t buy the district’s explanation.
“We’re here for Deandre, but it’s about more than that,” said Sandy Arnold, Deandre’s mother. “This is about all the other Deandres that could come through Barbers Hill.”
Deandre’s family is hoping his hair doesn’t derail a good student’s future. They vow to fight this until the end.
“They have 48 hours to come up with a resolution or we’re taking this to federal court,” said Monroe.

Indiana man accidentally shoots himself, son while wrestling, police say
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A 4-year-old Indiana boy is in critical condition Monday after a gun his father had concealed in his clothing discharged while the two were wrestling, police said.
The Herald-Times reported that the two were play wrestling Sunday night on a bed inside a home near Bloomington, Indiana, when the gun — which the 36-year-old father had concealed near the small of his back — fell and discharged one shot. The boy and his father were both shot in the head, according to a news release from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy was taken by helicopter to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, where he was listed in critical condition Monday. The father was taken to IU Health Methodist in Indianapolis with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Authorities have not identified the boy or his father, but Sheriff Brad Swain said they may do so later Monday.

Trump criticized for making Martin Luther King Jr. holiday about himself, sending pro-gun tweets
President Trump used the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday to tweet about what he personally has done for African Americans and brag about his support for gun ownership on what would have been the 91st birthday of the slain civil rights leader.
“It was exactly three years ago today, January 20, 2017, that I was sworn into office. So appropriate that today is also MLK jr DAY. African-American Unemployment is the LOWEST in the history of our Country, by far. Also, best Poverty, Youth, and Employment numbers, ever. Great!” Trump tweeted at 3 p.m.
An hour later, he tweeted his support for pro-gun advocates rallying in Richmond, Virginia.
“I will NEVER allow our great Second Amendment to go unprotected, not even a little bit!” Trump vowed.
The president’s unique way of celebrating MLK’s birthday did not go over well on Twitter.
“MLK Day is not about you,” wrote Twitter user Morten Overbye.
That sentiment was echoed by several users, including one who wrote, “Translation: ‘me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me.’”
Several social media users shared artist Watson Mere’s 2017 painting of MLK shooshing the president.
Others drew attention to the fact that black and Hispanic unemployment fell far more dramatically under the previous president.
“You’ve got to laugh when Donald Trump makes a play for the Black and Hispanic vote with employment statistics. President Obama took black unemployment from 17% to 7% and Hispanic unemployment from 13% to 5% but Donald Trump tries to fool everyone and take credit,” wrote Christopher Zullo.
Critics of the president also reminded Trump that he’d perpetuated the rumor Obama was born in Kenya, which many regarded as racist. Twitter also lit up with reminders that Trump had called for the execution of five black teens falsely convicted of attacking a white jogger in Central Park in 1989. Those men were later exonerated.
Some users attacked the president for being slow in recognizing the holiday.
“Finally you said something. But it’s too late, you already have tweeted so much today and some of was just pure insults. That was not in the spirit of today,” wrote Steward Beckham.
“Right?” agreed a Twitter user who goes by Mitchie. “I’ve seriously been looking at his tweets wondering just how long it would take before someone insisted that he recognize MLK Day. I didn’t think it was possible for him to be more disappointing. Yet here we are.”
A tweet from the White House’s official page attributed a quote praising King to the president shortly before 10:30 a.m. Trump immediately retweeted that statement from his own account.
Others questioned the president’s choice to support the the Virginia Citizens Defense League rally in Virginia on the holiday.
“Now what could be more appropriate for the US president to do than shamelessly pander to GUN nuts on the day commemorating #MLK who was murdered with a GUN. What a tone-deaf sociopath you are,” wrote filmmaker Andy Ostroy.
The president also had his share of supporters tweeting in his defense Monday.
“MLK is looking down and saying Thank you Mr.President,” tweeted @lisaghlisa, who says she’s a single mom and a registered nurse.
Another user tweeted a Photoshopped picture of Dr. King wearing a MAGA cap, claiming the civil rights leader and the real estate magnate shared a belief in Christianity
“Best President in my lifetime,” wrote a Twitter user whose handle is “Real Defender” and has an American flag and an eagle on his page profile. “I look forward to 4 more years of Trump.”
Conservative commenter Scott Presler tweeted to praise Trump’s position on guns.
“The Second Amendment is the great equalizer,” he wrote “It’s the difference between you fearing the government & the government fearing you.”
Trump paid a surprise visit to King’s memorial Monday afternoon. He was joined by Vice President Pence.
Presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway said Monday morning that she felt MLK would have disapproved of the impeachment trial of President Trump set to begin tomorrow, according to CNN.
King was killed by an assassin’s bullet in Memphis, Tenn. in 1968.

Tough guy Jason Momoa shows his softer side visiting young patients at a Pittsburgh hospital
Actor Jason Momoa, best known for his tough-guy roles such as Khal Drogo in “Game of Thrones” or Aquaman, showed a different side on Monday that was anything but.
Momoa took a break from shooting his new Netflix thriller to bring smiles to patients’ faces at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
The hospital tweeted four photos of the actor visiting several patients with their families: “Thanks to actor Jason Momoa, for stopping by this morning to visit the patients and families at UPMC Children’s!”
This isn’t the first time Momoa met with young fans battling illnesses. Last July, the 40-year-old posted a series of photos from his first time volunteering with the Make-A-Wish foundation.
Momoa is in Pittsburgh to shoot “Sweet Girl,” a new Netflix thriller, according to CNN affiliate KDKA. The film will feature Momoa, who is also producing the film, as a father trying to seek justice for his wife’s death while protecting his daughter and company from corruption, according to KDKA.

California man allegedly rammed into another vehicle intentionally, killing 3 teens, police say
A California man is facing murder charges after police say he intentionally rammed his vehicle into another, resulting in the death of three teenage boys.
The incident took place Sunday around 10:30 p.m. (1:30 a.m. ET) about 60 miles southeast of Los Angeles near Corona, when the man, police said, rammed into a 2002 Prius, causing the driver of the vehicle to lose control and hit a tree. There were six teenagers in the car, including an 18-year-old driver, according to CNN affiliate KTLA.
Three passengers were trapped in the car and had to be taken out using the Jaws of Life, according to CNN affiliate KCAL. One of the teens died at the scene, and the other five were taken to a hospital where two more died, a spokesperson with the California Highway Patrol told KCAL. Three of the boys had non-life threatening injuries, said California Highway Patrol Lt. David Yokley.
Anurag Chandra, 42, was taken into custody without incident and was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder, Yokley said. It is unclear if Chandra has an attorney.
The initial investigation led authorities to believe it was a hit-and-run incident, however, witnesses came forward after following Chandra to his home and alerting police. Further investigation determined the crash was an intentional act. Authorities are now treating the incident as a homicide investigation, Yokley said.
It is also unclear if Chandra or any of the boys knew each other, Yokley said.
“We really don’t know, obviously there was some sort of contact. We’re looking into those exact same questions of whether or not he was known to the victims,” Yokley said. “There was some sort of contact which led to this incident.”
Yokley said there’s no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in this crash.
