Burglar nabbed by nuns
Two sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Eucharist convent confronted a suspicious man around 7 a.m., August 13.
The two sisters witnessed the man loitering in a nearby soybean field. They wondered if the man was either lost or illegally hunting, so they confronted him.
The man was allegedly carrying boxing gloves, a shotgun and other various items. When the sisters confronted him and tried to question him, he ran to a nearby thicket of woods.
One of the nuns attempted to chase the man, even though she was wearing flip-flops and her ankle-length habit. The 49-year-old nun did not catch the man, but she did help to identify the man after the police eventually captured him.

A Wal-Mart employee has been accused of beating an assistant manager after he was reprimanded for poor job performance.
The incident was set off when the assistant manager cited the employee for low work quality, two days in a row.
The employee apparently grabbed an aluminum bat off of a shelf and proceeded to assault the assistant manager and beat him severely. The manager sustained a potentially broken arm and was badly bruised.
