• Customs officials at the Jacksonville (Florida) International Mail Facility came across a package from Hungary on Oct. 14 that contained more than 200 equine bones -- a complete horse skeleton, United Press International reported.
Daniel Alonso, acting director of field operations for Customs and Border Protection in Miami, tweeted a photo of the skeleton with the caption: "No horsing around this Halloween."
Because the package did not have a required veterinary services permit, he said it would not be sent to its destination. [UPI, 10/14/2020]
• Alicia Beverly of Detroit was sleeping in the back seat of a red-eye flight home from Las Vegas on Oct. 12 when she felt "something warm" on her side, and woke up to realize a man standing in the aisle was urinating on her, Fox 2 reported.
"I screamed and that woke everybody up," she said. "I looked and there was a puddle of pee in the seats!"
An off-duty police officer on the flight restrained the unidentified man, described as a well-known pastor from North Carolina, and he was taken into custody upon landing, but has not been charged.
Beverly had to sit in her wet clothes for the duration of the trip and is suffering anxiety following the incident.
"Since then I have only gotten four hours of sleep," she said. [Fox 2, 10/14/2020]
