That Would Explain It
Police were called to assist an elderly man who vomited at Westfield SouthPark Saturday afternoon.
The man told police he had been eating raw meat earlier, as part of his national tradition.
Officers sat with him until he recovered and was able to drive home.
The Eagle has Landed
