Police: Bike leads to theft suspect

XENIA, Ohio, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Police in Xenia, Ohio, said they were able to track down a suspected cigarette thief after he left his bike at the scene of the crime.

Xenia police Capt. Dan Donahue said the 35-year-old suspect, who has not yet been formally charged, was recorded by a security camera threatening a clerk with a steel bar and filling a duffel bag with cigarettes, the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News reported Tuesday.

However, the video shows the man fleeing without his loot after a struggle with the clerk, Donahue said.

He also left his bicycle and the steel pipe behind.

"The fact that he left the bike behind later helped identify him," Donahue said.

The suspect was in custody Tuesday at the Greene County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.

Man lived at airport for three years

LONDON, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- An out-of-work chef who lived in London's Gatwick Airport for three years has been jailed after disobeying an order barring him from the facility.

Judge Richard Hayward ordered Anthony Delaney to be remanded into custody until his March 10 hearing after he was caught violating an anti-social behavior order for the third time, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

Delaney was previously sentenced to 95 days imprisonment for his second violation of the order, which occurred the same day he was released from jail for his first violation.

Hayward said he decided to keep Delaney in custody because he feared the urge to return to the airport would be too strong for the man to resist.

"It is a bit cheeky to go straight back to Gatwick. There are other places you can have a shower. This is just going on and on. It is all very strange," the judge said.

Dog honored for blood donations

HOWELL, Mich., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A 2-year-old English mastiff is being honored by the Livingston County American Red Cross in Howell, Mich., for donating blood more than 20 times.

The 200-pound dog, named Lurch, has been named one of the organization's "Everyday Heroes" for his blood donations, which include a donation that saved the life of a dog that swallowed rat poison, the Livingston County (Mich.) Daily Press & Argus reported Tuesday.

"The blood itself goes to a lot of places like MSU (Michigan State University) and goes to certain clinics," said Joni Melvin-Thiede, Lurch's owner. "You really don't end up knowing which dogs he helps, but his little picture goes on each bag so the person that gets it will actually know it."

Melvin-Thiede said Lurch donates blood about once a month.

The dog and his owner have been invited to the Red Cross "Everyday Heroes" banquet, scheduled for Thursday at the Crystal Gardens center.

"We just did it because he seems to like to go out," Melvin-Thiede said of Lurch's donations. "We didn't know we were going to get to go to Crystal Gardens."

Suspicious $100 bills bore Lincon's image

MESA, Ariz., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Police in Mesa, Ariz., have arrested a man accused of trying to buy a watch with two counterfeit $100 bills bearing the image of Abraham Lincoln.

A court document said the owner of the store where Scott Martin attempted to use the bills bearing the image of the 16th president stunned the suspect with a Taser after he became violent when confronted about the alleged counterfeit money, KPHO-TV in Phoenix reported Tuesday.

Fire personnel who arrived at the scene to treat Martin found five more of the suspect $100 bills and one allegedly counterfeit $20 bill after they cut off his shirt, the document said.

A police officer said some of the bills had matching serial numbers in addition to the watermarks of Lincoln, whose face is printed on $5 bills. Legitimate $100 bills carry the visage of Benjamin Franklin.

Authorities said Martin told them during his treatment that he had swallowed a bag of methamphetamine.

At the time of the incident, Martin was out on bond for similar charges of allegedly using counterfeit $100 bills in Apache Junction, Ariz., detectives said.
