21 year old Antonio Vasquez was recently released from Fresno County Jail after prosecutors said they didn’t have enough evidence to file criminal charges.
He was briefly held in jail as a suspect after two California Farm workers had their home broken into and were attacked by a man. The suspect was said to have rubbed spices into the face of one man and had smacked the other with an 8 inch sausage!
Definitely a strange assault!
Sheriff’s Lt. Ian Burrimond says Vasquez was found hiding in a field wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks after the Saturday morning attack. Vasquez is also accused of stealing $900 from the home.

The count down has begun. There is only 8 1/2 hours left for my readers to visit Matt from MTMD. He has a great site, and his contest is going full blast now. Come on and join in the fun.
A Sticky Situation For Two Men:
A Southern California man took two men hostage at gunpoint, stripped them naked, bound their hands together with super glue and poured glue into their mouths, police said on Friday.
Rene Avila, 36, was arrested early on Friday after releasing his hostages during the night. They were treated at the scene and released.
The motive behind the bizarre incident was unclear but police speculate a possible relationship among the three may have triggered Avila’s behavior.
“There was some kind of dispute there and he put the super glue in their mouths before calling his sister.” Los Angeles police LT. Ernest Eskridge said.”We don’t know if that was his cry for help.”
Wow! Super glue is bad enough if you get it on your fingers or hand, but in your MOUTH!
A foul place to live:
Charlotte: Utility workers trying to blast out a grease clog from a sewer line forced 3,000 gallons of raw sewage into a couple’s home. forcing them to abandon their house while hoping that the city makes good on a promise to clean up and repair the damage.
Mac and Meg McCormick say city leaders have also promised to pay for their stay in a hotel until the repairs are complete.
The couple doesn’t have any of the agreement in writing, and city officials have declined to discuss the case because it’s ongoing.
“We feel we have no choice but to put our trust and faith in the hands of the city” Meg McCormick said this week as movers hauled damaged furniture from her house. “And I’ll be honest. that’s a little scary.”
Scott Denham, the risk manager for Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, declined to discuss the details of the sewage backup, but did say, “There’s no question of the severity of this event.” City officials don’t even know how much the repairs and cleanup will cost, Denham said.
