Michigan courthouse will keep paintings with nude figures
PAW PAW (AP) — Officials in a Michigan county have reversed course and won’t cover up courthouse paintings that have nude figures and bare-breasted women.
WOOD-TV says Van Buren County commissioners heard from people on both sides last week and decided to leave the paintings alone.
One painting shows a bare-breasted woman holding a decapitated head and a spear. Another painting above a judge’s bench shows a nude man and nude woman begging a woman for mercy.
One painting could be more than 100 years old.
Judge Kathleen Brickley says the paintings are contrary to efforts to “de-escalate trauma rather than revisit trauma.”
But Rose Rook spoke to commissioners and asked, “Do we have to shelter everything?”
She says there are attempts to get rid of everything that “makes us uncomfortable.”
Scofflaw busted for poaching fish in Michigan lake
GLADWIN (AP) — Tips from suspicious anglers helped Michigan officers catch a scofflaw who illegally took more than 1,400 panfish from Lake Lancer in Gladwin County.
The state Department of Natural Resources said it recently received numerous complaints about a man who frequented the lake, often fishing several times a day.
Two conservation officers confronted the 67-year-old man. After initially insisting he was within the daily catch limit of 25, he acknowledged otherwise.
Officers went to his house and found 70 bags of filleted panfish in the freezer. It was determined he had taken more than 1,400 illegally.
The poacher was ticketed; the fish were donated to a food pantry or church.
Police: Parked driver playing Pokemon Go on eight phones
BURIEN, Wash. (AP) — A Washington state trooper who pulled over to help what he thought was a disabled vehicle found something else instead:
The driver had eight phones simultaneously playing the video game Pokemon Go.
The agency tweeted a photo showing a blue foam square, with the phones sitting in eight rectangular cutouts.
The driver wasn’t ticketed because the trooper he did not observe the car moving while the driver was using the phones. He was asked, however, to put the phones in the back seat and move along, because stopping on the shoulder is for emergencies only.
