According to reports, the incident happened in late December. The boy reportedly went out with his mother on December 28 and later returned with a large tattoo covering most of his arm.

Three former York County Corrections Officers are facing criminal charges after a grand jury believed sufficient evidence was found showing that they accepted money from a jailed prisoner in exchange for smuggling contraband into the York County Jail.

According to information released by the York County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation began earlier this year after the department received tips that multiple corrections officers had taken payments from an inmate. Investigators alleged that the officers agreed to bring the requested items into the jail in exchange for cash. Authorities say the alleged plan was uncovered and stopped before any contraband actually made it inside the facility.

The three accused officers had each worked at the jail for roughly a year and a half. During the course of the investigation, all three resigned from their positions. The sheriff’s department confirmed that no arrests or court summonses had been issued at the time of the press release, but emphasized that the indictments themselves reflect that the evidence supports criminal charges.

A Salvation Army bell ringer was accused of trying to spear a Publix manager with a donation stand after allegedly causing a disturbance outside a Florida grocery store on Christmas Eve.

On December 24, the incident happened outside a Publix in Stuart, where a 63-year-old man was working as a seasonal Salvation Army bell ringer performing part-time Christmas charity work. The situation reportedly escalated when the man allegedly began aggressively confronting people as they entered and exited the store. His behavior was reportedly concerning to the employees, and a store manager eventually stepped outside in an attempt to address the disturbance and speak with the bell ringer about his conduct. According to reports, the man appeared to be intoxicated at the time.

The authorities said the interaction did not go as the manager planned, and instead of de-escalating, the man allegedly became violent.

Authorities in Palm Beach reported that an incident unfolded in the midtown beach area late last month, leading to the arrest of a man accused of using a dead hog as part of a social media stunt.

A man in southeastern Ohio was arrested at the beginning of December after an alleged mishap during a banking transaction resulted in his being accused of sending methamphetamine through a drive-thru tube.

According to reports, on December 3, an individual in a truck pulled up to a drive-thru at a bank in Woodsfield.
