The reptile that apparently came from Mitchell Lake, just south of Loop 410, wandered onto the road Sunday morning causing a major gridlock on the highway for almost an hour. Officer Albert Silva, who was the first to arrive at the scene of the traffic backup, said, "I don't remember any of this in the academy.

"Port-A-Potty is not a good place to hide," says police Chief James Kudlak after a 21-year-old purse snatching suspect was caught hiding inside one. Johnny Snodgrass of New Martinsville was arrested Monday afternoon following a clue that took the officers to a construction site where Snodgrass was working. Authorities reportedly became suspicious of Snodgrass after his appearance matched with that of a man who was caught on the surveillance camera of a store from where the purse of an old lady was stolen, the Associated Press reports.
