Hollister Tryon, 18, of Glastonbury, Conn., was charged on July 9 with felony computer crimes after he hacked into a database to edit entries in the Glastonbury High School 2021 yearbook, The Smoking Gun reported.

In May, school administrators discovered a quote from Adolf Hitler that was attributed to George Floyd under a senior’s photo in the yearbook.

Another student's quote was edited to include drug references and the name of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the convicted Boston Marathon bomber.

Barrington, N.J., resident Louis Angelino III, 27, works at a liquor store, but lately he’s been cleaning friends’ houses to make some extra cash.

One day in June, Angelino was scheduled to clean the home of his friend Mark, NJ.com reported. He showed up, found the key under the mat, and spent 2.5 hours making the townhome sparkle.

That’s when Mark called him to see if he’d been able to get the job done, and Angelino said, "I’m literally in your living room right now playing with your cats."

But Mark replied: "Louis, I don’t have any cats."

Turns out Angelino had written down the wrong address and tidied up a neighbor’s home instead.

Mark left a note for Tom and Beth Motzel, explaining the mix-up.

Tom arrived home before his wife and called her, saying, "You won’t believe it. Someone broke into our house and cleaned the entire thing, Swiffer and all."

Beth has dubbed Angelino the Cleaning Fairy, and his business is taking off.
