An Oregon man is in jail after he broke into a house, got naked and tried to snuggle in bed with the sleeping homeowners.
32-year-old Richard Defeudis is accused of breaking into the Portland home in the middle of the night. He searched the house for valuables before stumbling into the couple's bedroom, stripped off and climbed into bed with them.
The husband says he woke up when he felt the burglar kiss him. He jumped out of bed and reached for his gun while the burglar grabbed his pants and ran out of the room. The homeowner fired three shots at the intruder, but missed his mark.
Defeudis was later picked up at a vacant house where he was hiding. He's facing charges of burglary, sex abuse and unlawful use of a weapon. (He had a knife.)

A recovering alcoholic was able to use his many years of experience as a drunk to win a beer contest at a bar in New Zealand.
Adam Hope hasn't had a drink in 18 years but a friend remembered what a skilled beer drinker he was and thought he could win. It turns out he was right. The contest required participants to hold a full beer stein at arm's length, keeping their elbow straight and at shoulder height. Hope was able to do it for seven minutes and won the contest. The prize was a free ticket to an Oktoberfest beer festival, which he wisely gave away to a friend.

A 14-year-old Virginia girl is facing charges of assault and battery after she allegedly threw a baby carrot at a teacher in school.
The teen says she walked out of her classroom and saw her former teacher in the hallway. That's when she pulled a small baby carrot out of her pocket and tossed it at the woman, hitting her in the forehead. The girl says it was intended as a joke. But school authorities didn't find it funny and suspended her for a month. They also contacted the police department, which is now considering assault charges.
The teen's mother is dumbfounded by the school's reaction and says, "I don't even know how to combat the stupidity."

Things got a little hairy in Ukraine on Sunday when police arrested Chewbacca for violating an Election Day law.
A person dressed as the iconic Wookie was out campaigning for Darth Vader, who is running for mayor of Odessa. Seriously, the candidate's legal name is Darth Vader. But a local law forbids campaigning on the day of an election, so police arrested Chewy and fined him the equivalent of $7.50. It's a small amount of money, but Chewbacca claimed he couldn't pay it because his money is in an intergalactic bank that has no branches on Earth. Awesome!
