The video, recorded in the Karimabad area this week, shows the black pickup cruising down a street with the lion casually lounging in the back, unrestrained by anything except a leash held by a man inside the vehicle.

The video was reported to police, who identified the lion's owner as Saqlain Jawaid, a Karachi pet dealer.

Authorities said Jawaid is expected to face charges including negligence and spreading fear and panic.

Man who robbed store across street from own home heading to prison

JACKSON, MI - A man who was quickly located and arrested by police after he allegedly robbed a party store at gunpoint and then ran down the street to his home to count his stolen cash is heading to prison.

Jackson County Circuit Judge Thomas Wilson sentenced John Burgett to two-and-a-half to 10 years in prison for one felony count of armed robbery Thursday, June 15.

The charge stems from the incident that occurred the morning of Nov. 16, 2015, when Burgett, 25, allegedly pulled a handgun on a store clerk at Corner's Party Store, 501 W. Ganson St., demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

While being held at gunpoint, the store clerk recognized Burgett, who was undisguised, from multiple visits to the store including two earlier that day, police said.

The clerk and witnesses directed police to Burgett's home, a nearby house that could be seen from the store, where he was found inside counting the money he had just stolen.

Police recovered stolen cash as well as an airsoft pistol that Burgett brandished "as if it were real" during the robbery and arrested Burgett without incident, police said.

Human toe stolen from Dawson City bar

A human toe has fallen prey to some sticky fingers in Dawson City, Yukon.

And not just any toe — the gnarled digit is the essential ingredient in the famous "Sourtoe Cocktail" at the Downtown Hotel.

"We are furious," said the hotel's "Toe Captain," Terry Lee, in a news release. "Toes are very hard to come by."

The traditional Sourtoe Cocktail — a Klondike-inspired invention — involves a shot of whisky with the digit bobbing in the glass. The toe must touch the brave drinker's lips.

The hotel's posted fine for swallowing or stealing the toe is $2,500. It had been $500 until August 2013, when a patron gulped back the entire cocktail — toe and all — and slapped $500 on the table.

According to a news release on Monday, the hotel intends to fine and charge the thief "unless the Toe is returned safe."

This one is going to be hard to beat.

I'd like to know where they get replacement toes.  Well, maybe I don't.....

Tastes like Toe-fu.

The Downtown Hotel is a Toe Bar?

The wife used to have to get on the phone at work and order body parts for the boss, but he was a Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon not a bartender. An amazingly lucrative business the buying and selling of body parts.............from the dead that is!

Can Dick Morris account for his whereabouts?

I don't think I could handle a live toe. Much less a drunk one.

I know, right?

The last thing people want is a corn on their toe.
