Mid-Daily Items: A new world champion of hide-and-seek
A family living near Greenville, Pa., has banned hide-and-seek from their home.
That's because emergency crews had to be called when Dennis and Michelle Jasmer couldn't find their 2-year-old daughter Natalie after a game of hide-and-seek with her siblings Tuesday.
Crews and friends searched their Pymatuning Township neighborhood until the family's dog sniffed her out: she had fallen asleep in a drawer underneath the washing machine in the family's home, located about 70 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
— A local lawmaker wants her Ohio city to use its law against indecent exposure to go after young people in low-riding pants.
Canton City Councilwoman Mary Cirelli says constituents have raised concerns about how the fashion trend leaves underwear and sometimes bare rear ends visible. The 70-year-old Democrat says that's rude, and she has sent a memo to the city's law director asking whether Canton's public indecency law would provide some coverage.
Joseph Martuccio says he'll take a look if time permits, though he says using the law to crack down on baggy britches may violate the wearer's constitutional rights.
Cirelli says she knows the city has more pressing matters. But she says she takes all constituent complaints seriously.
— God might not be the only one passing judgment on a man who skipped out on paying $200 for a religious tattoo at a parlor in Denton, Texas.
Denton police are investigating a nonpayment complaint filed by a tattoo artist who inscribed "Only God can judge me" on a customer's arm.
The Denton Record-Chronicle reported Thursday that the artist finished the work, which included a pair of praying hands, and presented the bill.
The customer Monday offered a credit card, which was declined, then he ran out of the store.
