Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)



Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03) 

MIAMI (AP) -- Police are looking for two people they say stole more than 500 canaries from the home of an 87-year-old Florida man.

Police say the men entered Manuel Sanchez's home on May 27 and took the birds. The next day, they sold the birds to at least three pet shops.

The canaries are valued at $30 each, which means the thefts were worth about $15,000 in all.

Police on Wednesday asked the public for help in identifying the suspects. Authorities say images of the suspects selling the birds were captured by video surveillance cameras.

Police were able to recover about 150 birds.


SPARKS, Nev. (AP) -- Police say a man accidentally shot himself in the buttocks at a Nevada movie theater during a showing of "The Bourne Legacy."

Police in Sparks, Nev., say the 56-year-old man's injuries are not life-threatening and no others were hurt.

Authorities say the man had a permit to carry a concealed firearm. The man told officers the gun fell from his pocket Tuesday night as he was adjusting himself in the seat and that it discharged when it dropped to the floor.

Authorities say the case will be sent to the city attorney for possible charges.



NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa - A North Liberty man has been arrested for driving with a blood-alcohol content nearly eight times over the legal limit.

Police Chief Jim Warkentin said 24-year-old Justin A. Clark’s blood-alcohol content of .627 percent was the highest he’s ever heard of in his career, which spans more than two decades.

“It’s just amazing,” Warkentin said. “It’s just amazing the person was conscious to be that high. Most people don’t make it above .3, they end up passing out.”

According to a North Liberty police criminal complaint, officers were dispatched to the area of Red Barn Drive at 10:05 p.m. July 29 for reports of a driver who was all over the road, hitting curbs and the vehicle had come to rest in a yard on Stone Creek Circle.

Police said a resident flagged down an officer to point out the driver, who was revving up his motor. The officer approached the driver, identified as Clark, from the driver’s side of the car.

Clark was sitting in the driver’s seat and was unable to answer any of the officer’s questions, police said. He also was unable to get out of the vehicle, walk or perform field sobriety tests, police said.

Police said when they asked Clark where he thought he was, he said he was at home, and when they asked him what day it was, he replied, “Three, but now it is four.”

Clark submitted to a preliminary breath test, which showed he had a blood-alcohol content of .486 percent, well over the legal limit of .08 percent, to operate a vehicle in Iowa. Police transported Clark to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where additional tests showed he had a blood-alcohol content of .627 percent.

When he attended the police academy, Warkentin said he was taught that someone with a blood-alcohol content of more than .4 percent is “clinically dead.” He said he had no idea what Clark could have consumed to obtain a blood-alcohol content that high.

“Who knows?,” he said. “I can’t answer that.”

Clark has been arrested and faces a single count of drunken driving.
