1990
New
York
Republican
gubernatorial
candidate
Pierre
Rinfret
had
some
difficulty
establishing
voter
name
recognition.
A
New
York
Times
informal
survey
of
voters
identified
Pierre
Rinfret
as
an
artist,
a
perfume,
a
drug
dealer,
a
movie
star,
a
fashion
designer,
a
chef,
the
French
ambassador
to
the
United
States,
and
a
goalie
for
the
New
York
Rangers.
David
Ashley,
charged
with
raising
poultry
without
a
permit,
appeared
in
court
in
Seneca
Falls,
New
York,
with
a
rooster
tucked
under
his
arm.
When
the
village
justice
Gordon
Tetor
ordered
the
bird
removed,
Ashley
told
the
judge
that
the
bird
was
his
attorney,
explaining
"it
was
the
only
counsel
I
could
afford."
A
study
of
ovine
sexuality
by
University
of
California
at
Davis
graduate
student
Anne
Perkins
noted
the
difficulty
of
determining
if
lesbianism
exists
among
sheep
"because
if
you
are
a
female
sheep,
what
you
do
to
solicit
sex
is
stand
still.
Maybe
there
is
a
female
sheep
out
there
really
wanting
another
female,
but
there's
just
no
way
for
us
to
know
it."
Two
inmates
at
the
Logan
County,
Utah,
jail
were
charged
with
various
crimes
in
1990
after
having
made
their
third
foray
of
the
evening
from
the
jail
(this
time
to
set
a
fire
in
the
sheriff's
evidence
roon).
They
first
escaped
through
a
crawl
hole
to
get
beer
from
the
wife
of
one
of
the
three,
then
returned
to
jail.
A
few
minutes
later,
they
left
to
steal
weapons
and
get
more
beer,
then
returned.
After
their
third
adventure,
an
officer
noticed
empty
beer
cans
outside
the
office
door.
A
bank
robber
in
New
Haven,
Connecticut,
was
convicted
and
sentenced
to
80
years
in
prison.
His
bank
robbery
was
foiled
when
his
getaway
car,
left
idling
outside
the
bank,
was
stolen.
Tommy
Cribbs,
the
sheriff
of
Dyer
County,
Tennessee,
was
arrested
in
Van
Buren,
Missouri,
after
police
noticed
his
car
in
the
parking
lot
of
a
local
motel.
A
car
of
that
description
had
been
used
in
the
theft
of
two
sheep
from
a
nearby
farm.
Officers
who
were
questioning
people
at
the
motel
were
led
to
Cribbs
after
a
sheep
was
thrown
from
the
window
of
his
room.
A
Northwest
Airlines
flight
from
Seattle
to
Detroit
made
an
emergency
landing
in
Salt
Lake
City
after
the
crew
smelled
gasoline.
Investigators
discovered
the
fumes
came
from
a
West
German
tourist
who
brought
an
empty
gas
can
aboard
after
his
car
had
run
out
of
gas
on
the
way
to
the
Seattle
airport.
Ray
County,
Missouri,
conservation
agent
George
Hiser
told
his
wife
to
take
her
best
shot
when
a
turkey
came
out
of
the
woods
while
they
were
hunting.
Marcia
Hiser
not
only
dropped
the
bird
at
40
yards,
but
she
also
hit
a
second
turkey
15
yards
behind
it
with
the
same
blast.
Since
Missouri
law
prohibits
killing
more
than
one
turkey
a
week
during
the
spring
season,
George
had
no
choice
but
to
issue
Marcia
a
ticket.
In
Narooma,
Australia,
16-year-old
Greg
Hammond,
who
was
born
with
only
one
hand,
placed
second
in
a
men's
100-meter
race.
Officials
disqualified
him,
however,
after
an
appeal
noted
that
he
failed
to
touch
the
end
of
the
pool
with
both
hands
as
specified
by
international
rules.
Dale
Eller,
22,
of
Columbus,
Ohio,
walked
into
police
headquarters
and
re-quested
an
X-ray
in
order
to
locate
his
brain.
He
showed
the
police
a
hole
in
his
skull
through
which
he
had
inserted
3"
of
wire
trying
to
find
his
brain
but
had
failed.
He
told
them
he
had
made
the
hole
with
a
power
drill.
Police
took
Eller
to
the
hopsital,
where
doctors
removed
a
coat
hanger
wire
from
his
head.
A
hospital
official
said
Eller
was
in
good
condition,
although
doctors
said
he
might
have
personality
changes.
