On Friday night, Preston Henn, owner of the popular South-Florida based Swap Shop, was tasered and arrested after tackling a Broward County Sheriff Office command staff member. Police were called to The Swap Shop after receiving several civil disturbance calls involving Henn, who was trying to get a vendor to leave the premises. When police tried to calm Henn down, he walked into his office and locked himself in. Twenty minutes later, Henn walked out and knocked over BSO District Chief George Jarboe.

Researchers in Germany are still trying to figure out what is causing the presumed spontaneous combustion of about 1,000 toads near a pond in Hamburg. Officials say tests are being conducted on the toad's body parts and the pond's water, but no links have been discovered. Analysts say the toads typically swell up prior to exploding, however, scientists are thus far unable to determine if the condition is caused by a virus or bacteria. A local enviornmentalist says, "It looks like a scene from a science-fiction movie. The bloated animals suffer for several minutes before they finally die. " Officials say the toads first began to show up early last month at a pond in the upscale neighborhood of Altona. The animals fill up like balloons until their stomachs suddenly burst. Janne Kloepper, of the Hamburg-based Institute for Hygiene and the Environment, says "It's absolutely strange. We have a really unique story here in Hamburg. This phenomenon really doesn't seem to have appeared anywhere before. " City residents have been warned to stay away from the pond while more testing continues.

Slain porn star's agent wants to donate proceeds from her final movie to local Canadian children's hospital. Twenty-three-year-old, Natel King, stage name Taylor Sumers, made her final on-screen appearance in a porn film titled "Lesbian Lover. " After being stabbed to death last year, King's agent, Stephen Sirard, wants to donate proceeds made from the film's sales to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. Sirard said lawyers for his FCF agency in California had asked the hospital if they could highlight the promised gift on the cover of their video, using wording like "all proceeds from the sale of this video go to Sick Kid's Hospital in Toronto. " But hospital spokeswoman Carol Duncan said she has not heard anything about the issue, and she declined to say how the hospital might react to a donation of this kind. "We have to send the issue to the ethics committee and the board of directors for consideration," she said. King, described by Sirard as "a porn star with principles," says King raised money for the hospital before she was murdered. King was stabbed to death in February 2004 after a photography shoot near Philadelphia. The photographer has pleaded guilty to murder and could face 25 years in jail.
