charged with possession of
crack cocaine on Friday fol

ODDS AND ENDS

Hunters rights
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -
What do Bigfoot, Noah's Ark
and Amelia Earhart's plane
have in common?
They're all being used to
make a point by Omaha Sen.
Ernie Chambers, who is tak
ing aim at a measure to pro
tect hunting.
In an attempt to mock the
proposed change to
Nebraska's constitution,
Chambers has filed 35
amendments to protect the
hunting of a myriad of other
things, including the miss
ing Earhart plane, the ark,
Osama bin Laden and the
Hob Grail.
"This state is not going to
ban fishing, hunting and
trapping," said Chambers,
who believes the proposal is
unnecessary.
While there is no immedi
ate threat, there are animal
rights groups that would
like to see hunting, fishing
and trapping outlawed, said
Sen. Ed Schrock, who intro
duced the measure. "I think
we should probably get out
ahead of this."
The proposed amendment
would add one paragraph to
the state constitution that
says fishing, trapping, and
hunting are a "valued part of
the heritage of the people
and will be a right forever
preserved."
Eleven other states have
similar protections in law or
the constitution. Rhode
Island and California also
have amendments protect
ing the right to fish.
Chambers successfully
shot down a similar proposal
last year. If he gets his way,
laughing, coughing, itching,
scratching, lounging,
munching and "being one
self also will be protected.
Snacks and nacho cheese
MARYVILLE. Tenn. (AP)
- A man caught by police
last summer on his 23rd
birthday running naked and
covered in nacho cheese has
pleaded guilty to burglary,
public intoxication and
other charges.
But, he won't be going to
jail.
In a plea deal with prose

was sentenced to three years
in prison Monday but was
given supervised probation.
ed by shouting and yelling
back at the crowd. And as
his vehicle was being towed
out, Tefft allegedly took out
a pistol from the vehicle,
pointed it in the air and dis
charged two rounds.
After his truck was towed
to dry ground, Tefft report
edly put the vehicle in
reverse and accelerated
rapidly, putting several peo
ple in danger. Off-duty
deputies, who were on site
working security, quickly
surrounded him.
Reports do not mention
crowd reaction to Tefft
field-tested positive,
according to reports. It and
the crack pipe were placed
into evidence. Walker was
jailed for possession and
the violation of probation.
Another defective equip
ment charge, also on
Friday, led to crack charges
for a passenger of a White
Top cab.
Police stopped the cab for
an inoperative tag light on
N. Davis Drive. Officers
checked the driver and
three female passengers.
Virginia Cloer Allen, 52,
406 Tallulah Trail, Warner
Robins, aka Jaqueline
Virginia Russell, was
reportedly arrested for pos
session of crack cocaine.
An officer asked “Ms.
Russell” if she had any
thing in her clenched fist.
She said no, then opened
her hand and a small
square piece of suspected
crack cocaine fell out.

Prosecutors said Monn
was drunk when he broke
into a swimming pool snack
bar in July 2004.
A police officer found
Monn in the facility's park

apparently scaled an 8-foot
tall fence and was seen run
ning toward a Jeep with a
box of stolen snacks and a
container of nacho cheese.
In his Jeep, Maryville offi

open bottle of vodka.
Leave the dead alone
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP)
- A woman accused of dig
ging up and taking her
boyfriend's cremated
remains more than a decade
ago - and drinking the beer
that was buried with them -
was sentenced to 60 days in
jail.
Karen Stolzmann, 44, had
faced up to nine months in
jail on a misdemeanor
charge of concealing stolen
property. She was sentenced
Monday, Sheboygan County
District Attorney Joe
DeCecco said.
DeCecco had recommend
ed a six-month sentence.
"I kind of thought she
should be punished more,"
he said. "Under these kinds
of circumstances, this is just
unexcusable."
Investigators accused
Stolzmann of digging up the
ashes of her former
boyfriend, Michael
Hendrickson, at a Columbia
County cemetery possibly
out of spite for his family.
Hendrickson was 27 when
he died in 1992 from a self
inflicted gunshot wound.
His relatives contacted
authorities last fall after dis
covering his remains were
stolen.
Beer and cigarettes buried
with him also were missing.
Investigators were led to
Stolzmann, who had lived
with Hendrickson and was
with him when he shot him
self. Both were married to
other people at the time.
Detectives searched
Stolzmann's home, found
her hiding in the shower
and located the remains in
her garage, authorities said.
Stolzmann also was
ordered to pay restitution
for metal plaques missing
from Hendrickson's grave
site, DeCecco said.
