Calif. woman gives birth to 13-pound boy

VISTA, Calif., March 12 (UPI) -- By the time Cynthia Sigler of Vista, Calif., gave birth to 13-pound Jayden, he had already outgrown all the baby clothes waiting for him at home, she says.

Jayden, who was previously expected to be 9 pounds at birth, clocked in at almost twice the weight of his 2-year-old sister, who was 7 pounds at birth.

After Sigler's successful delivery via Caesarean section Thursday, doctors told her she had given birth to a 13-pound baby boy. "How'd he fit?" she responded.

Toward the end of her pregnancy, Sigler said she had been in a great deal of pain. After Jayden joined the world, she suddenly understood why.

"When I saw how big he is, I understood why I was in so much pain," she told North County Times (Escondido, Calif.). Dr. Jerald White said Jayden is the largest baby he's delivered.

Guinness World Records says Jayden falls short of the title, as the largest surviving birth clocked in at a whopping 22 pounds in 1955.

Man caught speeding 3 times in an hour

OREGON CITY, Ore., March 12 (UPI) -- A Nevada man driving to a court hearing was stopped for speeding three times in Oregon, racking up $2,000 in fines, police said.

Lt. Gregg Hastings, a spokesman for the Oregon State Police, said the driver, Jose Romero-Valenzuela, 34, of Las Vegas, was clocked at 105 mph the first time, 98 mph the second and 92 the third, The Portland Oregonian reported. All three stops occurred within about an hour.

Romero-Valenzuela came close to getting a fourth ticket, when a trooper west of Hood River tracked him with a radar gun and found he was chugging along at a stately 65 mph.

"I've heard of two stops, but not three," Hastings said. "You'd hope that the message would have gotten across the first time he was stopped. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case."

In addition to a possible $2,000 in fines, Romero-Valenzuela could lose his license for 90 days for driving at more than 100 mph, Hastings said.

Romero-Valenzuela already had legal problems in Oregon. He was on his way to a preliminary hearing on a drug charge in Oregon City.

2 concertgoers mix it up at symphony

CHICAGO, March 12 (UPI) -- A performance of Brahms' Symphony No. 2 in D Major in Chicago was disrupted this week when two concert-goers in box seats got into a fight, police said.

Ricardo Muti was conducting the Chicago Symphony at Orchestra Hall Thursday night when the argument got physical toward the end of the second movement, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

"We heard a rather loud thump," said Steve Robinson, general manager of WFMT-FM, Chicago, which has a classical and folk music format. "It wasn't so loud that everyone jumped up and ran for the exits."

Police said the alleged victim, a man in his 60s, reported being struck several times by a man several decades younger. By the time officers got to the box, the alleged perpetrator was gone.

Robinson, who was in the audience, said Muti handled the situation gracefully.

"Mind you, he never stopped conducting," Robinson said. "He very gracefully, without missing a beat -- literally -- he brought it to a very quiet and subdued close, while still looking over his left shoulder."

Police said the fight started with an argument about seats in a box at the theater, the newspaper reported.

Insufficient postage leads to arrests

BEAR, Del., March 12 (UPI) -- A Delaware woman who mailed a package of drugs to a daughter in Colorado with insufficient postage faces major drug charges, police said.

Marilyn Howell, 63, of Bear, Del., and her son, Robert, 32, were arrested in late February after a raid on their home, WCAU-TV, Philadelphia, reported. Investigators found more drugs, an AK-47 and other weapons, police said.

Howell mailed the package in November from a self-service kiosk, Brandywine East Community News in Delaware reported.

The U.S. Postal Service returned the package to the return address, which was not Howell's, WCAU said. When the person at that address found hallucinogenic mushrooms and prescription drugs, he turned it over to police, setting off an investigation that included postal inspectors.

Bail was set at $76,500 for Howell and $10,500 for her son.
