Police found the 58-year-old woman Thursday hiding in the top compartment of the man’s closet and arrested her for trespassing, police spokesman Hiroki Itakura from southern Kasuya town said Friday...

ANOTHER REASON AIRLINES SUCK: At Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, a Louisiana man reported a lost bag to police. He said his bag contained a Para-Ordnance Tac Four handgun and it never arrived at the Atlanta airport. He said he talked to an airline representative, who said there was no way of knowing if the bag ever arrived because they don't scan bags as they arrive in Atlanta. The man said AirTran had marked his bag with a large label that stated the bag contains a firearm.
