Weird News: Oranges, Not Fetus Found, Pancake Batter Hides Jail Hole
Ben Franklin Middle School, in Dallas, Texas, was the scene of a bit of a mystery. A janitor who was in the school doing end-of-the-school-year cleaning found a black bag in the middle schools girls' locker room. It appeared to be a human fetus, found in a trash bag inside of one of the lockers, according to The Associated Press.
Police were called, who came in to investigate and could not determine the contents of the bag, according to Sr. Cpl. Janice Crowther, a police spokeswoman for the Dallas police department. The bag was then turned over to the Dallas County Medical Examiner.
Rotten oranges were what was in the bag, according to the Dallas County medical examiner, and not a human fetus.
Pancake Batter used to hide hole at Jail
Inmates at the Scott City Jail used both toothpaste and pancake batter to cover up a hole that they fashioned, according to the Associated Press.In Scott City, Missouri, police say the hole allowed a female inmate to slide into the next cell and join the male inmate there.
Steel plates will now be added to the walls in the interior of the Missouri jail.
Police chief Don Cobb said that the after inmates fashioned a tool to dig with out of a nail, toothbrush, and a wire from a light fixture, they removed a block from the interior wall. They then used a mixture of pancake batter and toothpaste to disguise it, and Cobb's said it looked like mortar.
The inmates were moved into a county jail until the city building completes a full security check. The exterior walls of the jail are already strengthened with steel to keep the prisoners from escaping the jail, according to Cobb.
"Unless they can smuggle in an arc welder, they aren't getting through that," he said, according to the Associated Press.
