A woman felt it was suspicious that a man left the same time she did Saturday evening, and when he got to his car, leaned on the bumper and started reading a magazine.

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

Police were called to help an injured eagle behind Saturday afternoon.

A report said it wasn't an eagle, though -- it was a red-tail hawk and did not appear to be injured. The hawk was eating a squirrel, it said.
