Iowa man claims he was robbed twice in 30 minutes
IOWA CITY, Iowa - A 22-year-old man claims he was robbed twice in a 30-minute span in Iowa City on Thursday morning. Police said the man said he was approached by a group of about six men asking for cigarettes early Thursday morning. The victim said he was attacked by the group and had his cigarettes stolen.
Police said the man then walked past a group of four or five men in a "back alley" when he was attacked from behind. The victim said he was knocked down and his watch was taken.
Police said the victim was not visibly injured, but he had a dirty appearance consistent with having been on damp ground.

Man Gets Stabbed Over His Flatulence
WACO, Texas - A man was stabbed after causing a stink — literally — in a motel room while eating with a friend, police said.
Five men from the Houston area were sharing a Waco motel room Tuesday night, and two were inside the room eating when one had a flatulence problem, Waco police Officer Steve Anderson said. One man was so upset about the gas that he threw a large knife at him, cutting his leg, and then stabbed him in the chest, Anderson said.
The 35-year-old man was transported to a Waco hospital, where he was treated for what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries, Anderson said.
Jose Braule Ramirez, 33, of Houston, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, police said. He was arraigned Wednesday and was being held in the McLennan County Jail on $15,000 bond and placed on an immigration hold, according to jail records. He cannot be released, even if he posts bond, until authorities verify he is in the country legally.
A jail spokeswoman who declined to give her name said she was not allowed to release information on whether Ramirez had an attorney.
Clearly the joke was on him.

Woman Jailed for Biting Off Tongue
A British woman who bit off her boyfriend's tongue during a passionate kiss was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison.
Tracy Davies, 40, was convicted three weeks ago on a charge of grievous bodily harm, according to British media reports.
Her boyfriend, Mark Coghill, testified in Newcastle Crown Court that Davies had asked him for a "smoochy kiss" on his birthday last October. When he obliged, she bit off a third of his tongue, then spat it on the floor.
She "turned into the likes of Mike Tyson within 15 or 20 seconds" just moments after being "lovely," Coghill said, according to Sky TV News. Tyson was disqualified from a heavyweight title boxing match in 1997 after biting off a piece of opponent Evander Holyfield's ear.
According to trial testimony, Davies, a recovering alcoholic, was angry with Coghill because she wanted a baby but had not gotten pregnant. In sentencing her Tuesday, Judge John Evans said Davies had acted in an "animal fashion" and that Coghill's injury was "truly appalling," according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.
The judge said Davies was not a danger to the public, but stressed that she had exhibited no remorse.
"I dare say Mr Coghill living as he must do for the rest of his life without two-thirds of his tongue will continue to regard you as dangerous," he told her.
The bitten-off part of Coghill's tongue was recovered, but it was not possible to reattach it.
"He has by the loss of his tongue experienced a considerable loss of taste, and he feels the disfigurement very keenly," Evans said.
"Thankfully people biting other people's tongues off is a fairly unusual experience," the judge said, according to BBC News.
"These courts have had plenty of experience of people biting noses off a person, or ears, or parts of noses and parts of ears, but in my experience, biting a tongue off in this fashion is unique."

Cops Say Man Handcuffed, Bitten by Ex
FAIRFIELD, Conn. - A woman attempting to reconcile with her estranged husband handcuffed herself to him as he slept and then bit him on his torso and arms as he phoned for help, police said.
Helen Sun, 37, told police she wanted to have a conversation with Robert Drawbaugh without him leaving. She changed the locks on their bedroom door and, while he was sleeping Monday, handcuffed herself to him, authorities said.
Drawbaugh was able to dial 911 from his cell phone. Nearly out of breath, he told dispatchers he woke up handcuffed, was still bound to his wife and was holding her down, according to a recording released by police.
Dispatchers heard Drawbaugh scream in agony, apparently as his wife bit him.
"Owwww!" Drawbaugh shouted repeatedly. "Are they almost here? Oh God. I need help!"
Asked by dispatchers why his wife was attacking him, Drawbaugh said he divorced her. He also said she has a history of violence.
Officers who went to the home in Fairfield heard Drawbaugh screaming for help and forced their way in through the front door.
Drawbaugh was treated at a hospital, police said. Sun told investigators that restraining Drawbaugh was the only way she could get him to speak to her, authorities said.
Police charged Sun with third-degree assault, disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment and unlawful restraint. She was being held on $15,000 bond after an appearance Tuesday in Bridgeport Superior Court, according to a court clerk. Sun was represented by a public defender who did not immediately return a message left by The Associated Press.
Drawbaugh, 32, has been living in Los Angeles and came back to Connecticut about a week ago, police said.
He told police his wife is obsessive and a danger to him and his friends and family. He said his wife hired private investigators to follow him, according to police.
Police said they were called to the house on Valentine's Day last year when the couple got into a fight and in December 2007 when they got into an argument over a Christmas tree.
The status of their divorce is unclear.
Sun's mother said the couple had been married about eight years.

Police Arrest Man Growling Like Dog
MANSFIELD, La. - Authorities arrested a 32-year-old Texas man on drug charges on Thursday after construction workers saw him on his hands and knees, eating mud and growling like a dog. A woman who accompanied the man from Texas told investigators he had been wandering around the complex and eating dog food.
Sheriff's Lt. Horace Womack said a small bottle of PCP, a half-pound of marijuana and one-fourth ounce of crack cocaine were seized during the man's arrest.
The man was booked with possessing all three drugs with intent to distribute them. He was placed in a cell where jailers at the DeSoto Detention Center could keep an eye on him.

Woman Calls 911 3 Times Over McNuggets
FORT PIERCE, Fla. - Authorities say a Florida woman called 911 three times after McDonald's employees told her they were out of McNuggets.
A police report said 27-year-old Fort Pierce resident Latreasa L. Goodman told authorities she paid for a 10-piece last week but was later informed the restaurant had run out.
She says she was refused a refund and told all sales were final. A cashier told police she offered Goodman a larger portion of different food for the same price, but Goodman became irate.
Police say Goodman was cited on a misuse of 911 charge. A current phone listing for Goodman couldn't be found.
A McDonald's spokesman says Goodman should have been given a refund, and she's being sent a gift card for a free meal.
