老妪因比萨饼店拒绝送货而狂拨911 AN 86-year-old woman was jailed after police said she called 911 dispatchers 20 times in a little more than a half-hour — all to complain that a pizza parlor wouldn’t deliver. She told dispatchers on May 22 that a local pizza shop refused to deliver a pie to her south Charlotte apartment, said Officer Mandy Giannini. She also complained that someone at the shop called her a “crazy old coot,” Giannini said. Densmore wanted them arrested. Instead, police came to arrest her, and she resisted, Giannini said. It’s unusual for someone to face charges for nonemergency calls, Giannini said. But Densmore kept calling 911, even after she was told to stop, Giannini said. 警方称一位86岁高龄的美国老太太Densmore因在半小时多的时间里拨打911电话达20次而入狱——而她狂拨911却只是因为比萨店没有给她送货。 Mandy Giannini警官称，5月22日这名老太太对911调度员说当地一家比萨饼店拒绝把馅饼送到她在夏洛特市南部的家中。她还抱怨说，店里有人称她为“发疯的老笨蛋”。 Giannini说，老太太想让警察去抓比萨饼店里的人，但警察却逮捕了她，当时她还拒捕。 因非紧急事件而拨打911而获罪是很罕见的，但是，警察告诉她不要再打911了，然而Densmore还是不听劝告。 造纸厂停工 芬兰掀起 卫生纸抢购狂潮 SHOPPERS in Finland raided shelves for toilet paper on May 25 in fear of it running out as a lockout of workers kept the Nordic country’s paper mills shut. “As soon as we get a delivery, the packages vanish off the shelves. The big bags go first,” said Hille Laine, manager of a central Helsinki shop which had no tissue paper products left. Paper makers enforced a four-week lockout on May 18 following a two-day strike by workers. The dispute in the key export sector is mainly over industry’s plans to scrap mill shutdowns during some holidays and on the use of outside labor. The latest round of talks between workers and employers ended without a deal on May 25, meaning that the lockout will continue at least until May 30 when they are due meet again. 芬兰的购物者5月25日掀起抢购卫生纸狂潮。因为芬兰造纸厂停工，大家担心卫生纸会不够用。 赫尔辛基中部的一家店铺已没有卫生纸可卖了。经理Hille Laine说，“我们一有货送达，马上就会被抢购一空。大袋装的卫生纸卖得最快。” 芬兰造纸厂工人进行了两天的大罢工。工厂主随后在5月18日宣布实行4个星期的封厂停工。 造纸业是芬兰重要的出口行业。目前的争端主要是由业界欲废除在某些假期期间工厂关门的规定以及外来劳动力的使用问题而引起的。 5月25日雇主与工人之间的最新一轮的谈判无果而终，这意味着至少在5月30日他们继续谈判之前，停工还将继续。 犯罪嫌疑人自投罗网 警方将其轻松拘捕 A SUSPECT in two taxicab robberies walked into a New York police station and failed to notice his picture in a “wanted” photo on the wall, giving cops an opportunity to make one of their easiest busts ever. “You look at the photo, and it’s not that glaring that it is him,” said Norman Horowitz of the New York Police Department. But an alert detective noticed the resemblance and police arrested Awiey “Chucky” Hernandez, 20. Hernandez and a companion had gone to the station on May 24 to inquire about Huquan “Guns” Gavin, who had been arrested in another investigation, Horowitz said. Horowitz said that he has never seen anything like it 30 years on the police force. 一名涉嫌两宗出租车抢劫案的犯罪嫌疑人走进纽约一警察局，却没有发现墙上挂着他被通缉的照片。警员抓住时机将其拘捕。这可谓是警方有史以来最为轻松的抓捕行动之一。 纽约市警察局的Norman Horowitz说，“乍一看那张照片，还真不太容易认出是他。”一个细心的侦探发现了他与照片很相像，警方因此而把20岁的犯罪嫌疑人Awiey “Chucky” Hernandez擒获。 Horowitz 说，Hernandez是在5月24日和一个同伴去警局询问Huquan “Guns” Gavin的情况时被抓的。Gavin已在另一项调查中被捕。 Horowitz说,30多年来在警界他从来没有看到过这样的事情。 |  |
