The man reportedly asked guards if they were familiar with the animated character Cyril Sneer, an evil pink aardvark. Court heard he then tucked his genitals between his legs, bent over and began dancing like the character moves, the report said. During his performance, guards noticed a piece of plastic protruding from his bottom. Advertisement It was found to contain four doses of the powerful painkiller Hydromorphone, guards said. Troy Campbell pleaded guilty to drug possession and was fined $805, the report said. Ill. challenges workers' comp claim SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- A former Illinois workers' compensation arbitrator's $25,233 worker's compensation payment is being challenged in court by state officials.

News-Democrat reported Wednesday.

Mistake leads to cheap plane tickets NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- An airline offering New York to Israel flights said it has not yet decided whether to honor steeply-discounted tickets mistakenly sold online. Israel's El Al Airline said the New York to Tel Aviv flights were posted for the wrong price on the Dan's Deals Web site by a contractor and dozens of customers -- many of them Orthodox Jews -- quickly moved to take advantage of the discounted fares, which dropped the price of a $1,600 ticket to less than $400, the New York Post reported Wednesday. Advertisement "I booked me, my wife, her parents and her three brothers," said Joey Mansour, 28. "Then I booked my in-laws again for March, my wife's first cousin who's married with three children, his mother-in-law, my wife's aunt, her husband, and two kids." People who bought the tickets said customer service representatives told them the tickets would be honored, but company officials said they have not yet made a decision. A decision is expected later in the week, officials said. Man gets Saudi followers on Twitter TRENTON, N.J., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- A New Jersey man said his Twitter account received thousands of new followers because his user name is the same as the initials for a Saudi phone provider.

"There had been a constant trickle for phone and Internet complaints coming to my account, so I was like, 'I have to look this up,'" Rowland said. Rowland said some followers have also confused his account with a Jakarta mall, resulting in numerous tweets from Indonesian teens. Advertisement Rowland said he has tried catering to his new audience with tweets featuring Arabic script. "To my Saudi followers: You guys are great. I wish I COULD fix your phone company," he tweeted.
