Artificial Leg Used Against Owner

Friday, February 27, 2004

Ever want to yank off someone's leg and beat them over the head with it? A Virginia man may have done just that.



Police in Fredericksburg have charged Rodney Prophitt, 27, with pulling off his neighbor's prosthetic limb and then striking him with it, reports The Free Lance-Star.

The whole thing started Wednesday evening when Michael Clapp, 38, found a bottle of medicine missing from his apartment. He immediately suspected Prophitt and went next door to ask him about it.

Prophitt responded by knocking Clapp to the floor, then tugging off Clapp's fake leg and hitting him with it.

"At some point," city police spokesman Jim Shelhorse told the newspaper, "Mr. Clapp was able to grab his leg back, get back to his apartment and call 911."

Clapp went to the hospital with a broken nose. Prophitt was charged with felonious assault and petty larceny. Shelhorse didn't know what kind of medicine was taken or why Clapp had an artificial leg.

I'd Like to Order a Strip Search

Boston-area Wendy's restaurant (search) managers are feeling pretty dumb now that it's clear the caller who suggested that several employees be strip-searched wasn't a cop after all.

"Words simply cannot express how badly we feel about the entire incident," Wendy's spokesman Bob Bertini told the Boston Herald. "Obviously we had managers who were duped."

Wendy's restaurants in four different suburban towns got the calls Friday night. In each case, the caller said police suspected employees of stealing from customers, and that workers should be strip-searched.

And in each case, the supervisors on duty at the time complied, making one employee in each store take off his or her clothes.

Local police were incredulous. "We would not call and request a strip search to be conducted," Abington Detective Sgt. Scott Saccoach told the Herald.

"The chain [has] fallen victim to a vicious scam," read a Wendy's statement released Wednesday night, according to WCVB-TV. "We are certainly embarrassed and saddened over all that has happened. ... Our deepest apologies go out to our employees who were drawn into this scam."

Wendy's patrons felt sorry for the unclothed employees.

"If my son or my daughter were working here part-time," one diner told the TV station, "I would just be totally flabbergasted if they came home and told me that this had happened to them."

WCVB said similar incidents have been reported in other states. All four managers are on paid leave while the investigation continues.

Man Confuses School With Day Care Center

Police said he showed up at Holy Spirit School at dismissal on Feb. 13 seeking a job application. When his request was denied, he defecated in the diaper and fled on foot, police said.

Lincoln Park police arrested him a short time later near a supermarket


Can I Pay the Fine With Small Change?

BERLIN (AP) � German prosecutors said Thursday they are investigating a student for stealing electricity after he plugged his laptop into a train station electrical socket and used 0.2 euro cents, or a quarter of a U.S. cent's worth, of power.

He proved the computer was his own, but prosecutors still opened an investigation on suspicion of "removing electrical energy."
