CLAWSON (WWJ) - Police are shaking their heads after a suspected domestic violence call turned out to be something else entirely.

Clawson Police Chief Harry Anderson says a woman dialed 911 when she heard what sounded like a violent altercation between her neighbors at a Maple Road apartment complex.

“One of the neighbors had heard somebody yelling — a female yelling … she was possibly being hit — yelling, ‘Stop! No!’” Anderson told WWJ Newsradio 950′s Marie Osborne.

The concerned party also said that, in between shouts, she heard a repeated loud noise.

Police arrived within minutes. When they knocked on the door to the unit, Anderson said, a woman told officers she was indeed shouting, ‘Stop!’ — but that her boyfriend was not beating her.

Conservative rocker Ted Nugent says he’s considering running in 2016 and already has a campaign pitch: “Hi, I’m Ted Nugent. I have nine children from seven women, and I’m running for president.”

In a Washington Post Magazine story published this week, Nugent told Steve Hendrix that he was “thinking about it.”

Nugent’s wife of 24 years, Shemane, explained that he had talked about running before, “but this time he seems more serious. People are constantly asking him to run.”

In the 1980s and the mid-2000s, 66-year-old brother brother Jeff Nugent helped him do polling for a possible run for Michigan governor. At one point, New Mexico Republicans also attempted to draft him to run for governor of their state.

The death of a McHenry County man, just days before he was to collect some of the $150,000 he found in his garden, is causing some to wonder if his elderly neighbor was right all along.

She said the money was cursed.

Wayne Sabaj, 51, was an unemployed carpenter when he reported finding the bags of cash while picking broccoli in August 2011. He was due to enter into a settlement in court on July 11 that would have split the windfall between him and the neighbor, said his lawyer, Robert Burke.

The neighbor, Delores Johnson, whose daughter had also made a claim for the money on her behalf, also died before the mystery was settled. Johnson, who had dementia and died in December at 87, told her daughter that "she had gotten rid of the money because it was cursed," said Burke, quoting court records.

"Apparently, she was right. The money is cursed," Burke said.

The distinctive folds in the head of two-year-old pot belly pig, Ramona Flowers, bear more than a passing resemblance to Jedi master Yoda from the Star Wars franchise.

A relative of the pet's owner, Luis Bojorquez, 34, from Tijuana, Mexico, noticed the similiarity and uploaded pictures of the hog to the web, where it has been shared on social media sites.

It is not known what the film's other characters, including Ham Solo, C-3Pig0, and Chewbacon, make of their new swine friend.

Human breast milk has become a new luxury for China's rich, with some firms offering wet nurse services, a report said, provoking outrage and disgust among web users Thursday.

Xinxinyu, a domestic staff agency in the booming city of Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong, provided wet nurses for newborns, the sick and other adults who pay high prices for the milk's fine nutrition, the Southern Metropolis Daily said.

"Adult (clients) can drink it directly through breastfeeding, or they can always drink it from a breast pump if they feel embarrassed," the report quoted company owner Lin Jun as saying.

Wet nurses serving adults are paid around 16,000 yuan ($2,600) a month -- more than four times the Chinese average -- and those who were "healthy and good looking" could earn even more, the report said.

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -

Police were called to a home on the 5800 block of Taylor Street Sunday night. As officers responded to the scene, it was reported the suspect was on a bicycle wearing a backpack.

An officer spotted a man matching the description and took him into custody.

Investigators say Nico Longoria, 33, broke into a workshop behind a home that night. The homeowners heard a noise and then spotted the lights go on in the building.

They said the suspect left the workshop and took off on his bike. A man living in the home said he chased after Longoria briefly, but he got away. According to court documents, Longoria said "I'm sorry" as he rode away from the scene.

At about 9 p.m. Saturday in Magnolia, a concerned witness dialed 911 to report a dog and pig contained in a hot car.

And the story just gets stranger from there.

Officers arrived at the parked car, located in the area of West Bertona Street and Gilman Avenue West, according to Seattle police reports, where the witness had opened an unlocked door to the car to cool off the animals.

Though nighttime, the outside temperature still lingered at 86 degrees, police reports say.

Officers found a small, panting dog and a large pot-bellied pig, which was dressed in sweatpants instead of more weather-appropriate summer attire.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have received an unusual baby gift from the Finnish government - condoms.

The bizarre present features in a box of goodies sent to the expectant parents to congratulate them on their impending arrival - but perhaps encourage them to have a break before planning a second child.

It was presented to William and Kate by the Finnish social security service Kela, obviously keen to get in early before the Duke and Duchess are swamped with gifts.

Also included in the baby box are a snowsuit to keep Baby Cambridge cosy, leggings, colourful romper suits, a hooded bath towel, hairbrush, nappy cream and a teething toy.

Say it five times fast: "Darth Vader-dressed dude dashes in Death Valley." It sounds like a comic convention fever dream, but it's very real. Jonathan Rice is a fan of heat running. It's pretty much what it sounds like. It involves running in stifling hot temperatures.

Rice is the originator of the Darth Valley Challenge, a personal challenge he sets himself to run a mile through Death Valley at the height of its heat, all the while dressed as everyone's favorite "Star Wars" villain, mask and all.

The most recent Darth Valley Challenge took place on June 30 when the National Weather Service recorded a temperature of 129 degrees. Rice made the mile run in 6 minutes and 36 seconds. He describes the run as pointless, but completely fun. Now, in its fourth year, the challenge this year also had the goal of setting a new Guinness World Record for hottest verified run.
