A South Carolina couple has been put on ice after calling 911 to complain about a problem with their refrigerator – namely, that possums and strange people kept jumping out of it to attack them.
Brandon Terry and Casey Fowler dialed the emergency number several times on Sunday, telling the dispatcher that they were doing their best to fend off the creatures, but insisted they needed help. When an officer was dispatched to the scene, Terry said they'd been having problems all weekend, insisting he had photos of worms and camouflaged people coming out of the floor of their car. But when the deputy asked to see the pics, Terry showed him photos of a basketball goal and tree instead.
Terry went on to explain that the cop would not be able to see the possums or people in the fridge, because he and Fowler were the only ones who could see them. Both were charged with misuse of 911 and taken in for observation for possible drug overdoses.

A Michigan fisherman now has a great story to tell about his big catch.
Andre Monterio was fishing on Lake Michigan when he felt a pull on his line. As he reeled in, the fish fell off the hook, but there was something else on the line -- a digital camera. Monterio was understandably surprised by the catch and even more curious about what might be on the camera. So he took out the memory card, which was still intact, and plugged it into his computer. A file opened up displaying photos from a fishing trip back in 2013.
One of the photos was labelled "Mike's Family Pharmacy," so Monterio looked up the business, which is located in Montague, Michigan, and told them he had found the camera. It turns out the camera was accidentally dropped off a charter boat during a fishing trip in August 2013. The camera and memory cards have been returned to the rightful, and grateful, owner.

The Indonesian government is considering a plan to build an island prison for the country's worst drug offenders -- and to use crocodiles to guard it.
Drug offenders are punished severely in Indonesia and many are sitting on death row awaiting execution. The head of the government's anti-drug agency has proposed a plan to build a prison on an island to house these inmates, and then surround the island with crocodiles to ensure that none of them are able to escape.
The agency chief, Budi Waseso, says, "We will place as many crocodiles as we can there. I will search for the most ferocious type of crocodile." He says the crocodiles would be make effective guards because they can't be bribed by prisoners, unlike human guards.
The plan is still in its early stages and there is no time frame for when the crocodile prison will be built.
