A 46-year-old man accused of robbing a store on Saturday apparently got thirsty and was hence arrested about 15 minutes later at a bar less than a mile away. The man, who is from New Holstein, is accused of robbing a Dollar General Store at knifepoint. He was taken into custody by police without incident at Kiel, in eastern Wisconsin, about 20 miles northwest of Sheboygan.

Britain's Prince Charles has had to halt the renovation work on his recently purchased Welsh farmhouse after bats were found roosting in an outbuilding. The prince is converting his remote $2. 4 million Llwynynwormwood estate in Myddfai, Carmarthenshire, into a holiday complex and an initially report into bat and owl activity concluded building work would have minimal impact on the wildlife. But common pipistrelle and brown long-eared bats have now been found roosting in a building on the estate which Charles has applied to transform into nearly $4 million luxury 11-bed resort.

New t-shirts emblazoned with the slogan "Free Becks, Keep Posh" have already gone on sale in an attempt to have soccer star David Beckham come to America sans his pouty wife.
