Flatulence Causes Plane to have Unscheduled landing in Nashville, TN

This may be the next Southwest TV ad for “Wanna Get Away” even though the incident happened aboard an American Airlines flight. An American Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Nashville, TN as passengers reported smelling struck matches.

The passengers and five crew members were brought off the plane, together with all the luggage, to go through security checks again. Bomb-sniffing dogs found spent matches.

The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal body odor, Lowrance said. The woman lives near Dallas and has a medical condition. (WBIR)

South Carolina Mother has Son Arrested for Playing with Christmas Presents

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A fed-up mother had her 12-year-old son arrested for allegedly rummaging through his great-grandmother’s things and playing with his Christmas present early.

The mother called police Sunday after learning her son had disobeyed orders and repeatedly taken a Game Boy from its hiding place at his grandmother’s house next door and played with it. He was arrested on petty larceny charges, taken to the local police station in handcuffs and held until his mother picked him up after church.
