Man breaks into hotel room and orders room service

A man ordered room service at the Old Town Inn in Manassas early on Wednesday morning, but he didn’t have a room.

An employee at the hotel called police after a man called for room service just after 2 a.m., said Manassas police spokesman Sgt. Eddie Rivera.



The employees said they realized that the room the man called from was not rented out at the time, Rivera said.

Vinod Adhikary, 30, of 6905 Compton Valley Court, was arrested and charged with unlawful entry and public intoxication. He is being held at the Prince William-Manassas Regional jail in lieu of a $2,000 bond. His next court date is July 10.

Teenager got his arm stuck inside vending machine while trying to steal drink

Firefighters on Saturday rescued a 17-year-old boy whose arm became stuck in a vending machine while he was trying to steal a can of Coke. The incident occurred at the 24th Street trolley station in National City, California and was reported at about 5 a.m.



The teen apparently reached inside the receiving slot of the vending machine in an attempt to steal a soda. At that point, his arm became stuck inside the slot. A trolley rider saw the teen trapped in the machine and called for help.

Police, firefighters, paramedics and trolley security responded. The rescue took about an hour. Firefighters used axes, crowbars and an air chisel to try and dismantle the machine to free the teen. They eventually used a rotary saw to cut the lock on the door of the machine and the teen was extricated from the tight opening.



He was then taken to a waiting ambulance to be checked out. The teen's arm did show signs of scraping. He said his arm was sore but that he is OK. After medics released the teen, he was taken into custody by police, who said he may face charges of petty theft.

Judge orders woman to cut off daughter's ponytail in court

A US judge told the Utah mother of a 13-year-old girl who chopped off a toddler's long hair in a restaurant that he would reduce her daughter's sentence if she cut off the teenager's own ponytail in court. District Juvenile Judge Scott Johansen gave Valerie Bruno the option to either cut off her daughter Kaytlen Lopan's long hair "right now" with courtroom scissors or have the teen spend an extra 150 hours in detention as punishment for hacking off the locks of a three-year-old girl she befriended in a McDonald's in Price.

Bruno opted for the haircut but later expressed her anger over the judgment and said that she had filed an official complaint against the judge. "She definitely needed to be punished for what had happened," shesaidf. "But I never dreamt it would be that much of a punishment." Mindy Moss, the mother of the three-year-old girl, supported the decision and even was asked by the judge if she was satisfied with the length Bruno initially cut off her daughter's blonde hair in court.



"No," Moss replied. "My daughter's hair that had never been cut, that was down to [the middle of her back], was cut up to here [her jaw]." Johansen then ordered Bruno to "take it off clear up to the rubber band". On the day of the attack, Kaytlen and an unnamed 11-year-old female friend spoke to the girl in McDonald's, then asked a server there if they could borrow a pair of scissors. When their request was refused, the youngsters went to a nearby dollar shop to buy a pair and returned to the restaurant to carry out the act.

At an earlier hearing, Johansen ordered the 11-year-old girl to have her hair cut as short as his but allowed the child to have the haircut in a salon. Bruno added, "I guess I should have went into the courtroom knowing my rights because I felt very intimidated. An eye for an eye, that's not how you teach kids right from wrong." Kaytlen also admitted to charges in another case rising from eight months of phone calls she made to a Colorado teen that included threats of rape and mutilation.
