 [Sam’s Club Urine Test] A woman shopping “in aisle 18 at Sam’s Club” in Orlando, Florida, got an eyeful on May 30 when she caught Patrick Mitchell, 70, urinating on two pallets of canned Spam and Vienna sausages. Police said the witness snapped a photo and reported the incident to store employees, who confirmed that the pallets, worth $10,584.54, had been “contaminated with bodily fluids.” After relieving himself, Mitchell strolled around the store and tested some patio furniture before checking out and leaving. Mitchell was arrested at his home in The Villages, a retirement community, and charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief. |

| Translucent bridge to form centerpiece of national memorial to Elizabeth II. The bridge, with its cast-glass balustrades, will replace the park’s blue bridge near Buckingham Palace. It is inspired by the Queen Mary fringe tiara worn by Elizabeth on her wedding day in 1947. Featuring 47 bars of diamonds, its antique metal frame snapped when the princess was getting ready on the morning of her wedding and was rushed to jewelers Garrard to be fixed. The headpiece was of great sentimental value to the queen. Link |
