You go to the airport, you're dropping someone off, and that's a special someone, and you know you want to embrace and say goodbye and hugs and kisses and all that stuff, right, But you know how it rolls here in the US if you're just dropping them off, man, you get out, get the luggage out, and you better be on your way pretty quick, or they're they're moving you along right
in those drop off zones. It's just how it is a little bit different in New Zealand. And you're getting quite the attention on some social platforms after an airport in New Zealand posted a sign that prohibits prolonged goodbye hugs. There's a sign of the Dunedin Airport that reads quote maximum hug time three minutes for funder farewells. Please use the car park parking lots. Maybe last minute love session right, Oh, they give you a full three minutes in New Zealand
to say you're goodbyes. There's just no quick peck on the you know, lips are cheeking goodbye, say fight I miss you. Uh three minutes the long goodbye, right, it's very generous, very generous. Tennessee police officer in Tennessee caught stealing from crime stoppers. A police officer stealing from crime stoppers. You know, crime stop is a great organization and it encourages you know, information to flow to help solve crimes.
And a lot of times if you provide pertinent information that pays off, you could, you know, see a small reward. And I actually I know a couple people who have been given a little bit of money for you know, witnessing something and sharing what they know. So this has been around for a long time now. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before, but it sounds pretty straightforward as to
what this now former officer was doing. Her name, Erica Hutchinson reportedly stole more than eighteen thousand dollars from crime Stoppers between August of last year and February of this year. Pretty straightforward deal, excuse me. Her job was to sort through the crime Stoppers database, send pertinent tips on investigations that come in to the investigators, and then one knows helpful tips qualify for rewards. She'd make sure the payment
went through to the tipsters. Right before she did, though, she would switch the destination for the reward to an accomplice's bank accounts. Yeah, they were working together. She would say, Oh, okay, so and so gave us this tip their due, however amount of money, I'll just send it to my friend's bank account. Then they're gonna split the profits and we're doing that for a while. Was she caught by crime stoppers. No, No, she was actually caught by the public and the tipsters
who thought they were receiving rewards. And after several reported to police, Hey, you know, we're told were to get in a reward for this information. You know, it never came. They started looking into it and it didn't take them long to figure out that Erica had been rerouting the money to a different account. She pleaded guilty was sentenced to six months in prison plus two years of supervised release, and she's we also gonna have to pay about twenty
two thousand dollars in restitution. And of course she's resigned, which I'm sure that's nice because she would have been fired obviously for this stealing from crime stoppers. Don't let her bad actions deter you from you know that? Otherwise good program. And finally there's this. We go to Bedford, Indiana at the super the Walmart supercenter in Bedford, where police responded to an incident of a three year old being injured by a monkey inside Walmart. A sixteen year
old Java macaw monkey in Walmart. Yeah, this was someone I'm saying, this is their emotional support animal and apparently had the paperwork to provide when police arrived to check on this injured three year old who was scratched up by the monkey. You know, you a young kid sees a monkey, they're gonna want to, you know, approach the monkey, and especially you know at Walmart. You all trying to
visualize this right now. It's very easy too, isn't it, Because some of the things you've seen at Walmart's this is not hard to should buy any stretch, so the police. It turns out the kids going to be all right. The mother of the kids, so yeah, he'll be fine. But we just wanted to make sure this was, you know, documented. It should be noted that the paperwork that supposedly supported the emotional support animal what in this case, you know,
