Race to the bottom
Another raid on the wrong residence;
another dead dog. This time, Iraq War veteran Adam Arroyo says he came home on Monday to find his door busted down, and his beloved pup dead from bullet wounds. The Buffalo, NY police did not seem too concerned with cleaning up blood or anything like that, but nonetheless left behind a note of sorts: a search warrant for the apartment next door.

On the other hand…
A 59-year-old duffer
was arrested after he broke a Callaway 5-iron over the arm of a 65-year-old guy in
his foursome. He then allegedly stabbed the victim with the sawed-off club.
