Glad there are instances when a cell phone comes to good use! As we all know by now, it can be a major source of distraction.
Story:
Tennessee -- Authorities have charged a 52-year-old postal worker who apparently attempted to abduct a 15-year-old girl Monday night, November 12 at a store in Cordova.
The girl, who was alone, had just left the store about 6 p.m., when the man approached her from behind.
"He initially told her to, 'Come here,' when she refused. The victim turned away and started walking back toward the store. The suspect then grabbed her and tore her shirt," a police spokeswoman said.
"She did strike him with her cell phone. She was definitely trying to get away. She felt she was in danger. She did not know this person and so she escaped serious injuries."

Great "security"
California -- In San Diego, a downtown security guard has been arrested, charged with sexually assaulting four women in a parking garage elevator, then taking a $100 bill from one of them, according to knbc.com.
The victims were reportedly walking to their car when a security guard directed them to into an elevator he was holding open.
While on the elevator, the guard stopped the car, pulled out a knife, then ordered them to disrobe. One of the victims offered the man a $100 bill to let them go, and he agreed, the spokesman said.
The victims went to police, and the suspect was arrested when the young women identified him as the perpetrator.

The "puppy trap"
local6.com in Florida has conducted an experiment which shows how easy it is to lure children away using puppies. A chilling read indeed.
Story:
A controlled experiment outside Central Florida homes found that a stranger with puppies could easily lure children into leaving inside a van.
Armed with a van filled with hidden cameras, a producer posing as a stranger with two puppies pulled into a Seminole County neighborhood.
With the parents' permission and blessing, they began a stranger danger test. The first test involved a large group of children ranging in age from 4 to 8 years old.
It took less than a minute before the children not only came close to the van but and then piled inside.

A bite out of crime
Florida -- An attempted abduction happened Monday in a quiet subdivision of Deerfield Acres. The 11-year-old was walking on the side of his street when the suspect pulled over in an older model car.
The boy told authorities the man grabbed him by the collar, then wrapped his arm around his face. That's when this potential victim fought back the best way he knew how.
The boy said when he put his arm around his face he bit him on the arm and that's what caused him to turn him loose.
The boy started screaming and ran to his grandmother's house. The perpetrator jumped in his car and took off.

Lame excuse
In our series of lame excuses "It wasn't me", we present ... (drum roll) ... a spider :-)
So, let's see, we have guys blaming their penis (of course, what else), a spell, alcohol, insanity, drugs, friends, a twin brother, the bogeyman and what have you not.
And now ... a spider bite.
In Australia, a man who kidnapped and raped a woman blamed his actions on a spider, according to local media.
The man told a court that the poison from a funnel-web spider bite had left him with a viral illness which led to his actions.
The defendant, who kidnapped and raped the woman in 1997, was sentenced to eight years in jail.
