LIKE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication Florida In West Palm Beach, Florida, on Nov. 9, Kelly Jacobson was heartbroken after officers led away her pet pig, Pork Chop, during an eviction. WPTV reported that animal care and control officers actually had to drag the pig, as he weighs 400 pounds and can't really walk. They plan to gain custody of Pork Chop and get him the dietary care he needs. Jacobson has been cited twice before for neglecting his needs, but she said she would "do whatever I have to do to make him better. I need him." Rudy Wilcox, 45, of Clearwater, Florida, was "observed defecating on a deceased opossum" on Nov. 15, according to The Smoking Gun. Officers with the Clearwater Police Department said he was in "full view of the motoring public during busy traffic times." While Wilcox denied the accusation, officers found "physical evidence" to support the charges. Just one question: What would have happened if the opossum were only playing possum?! Wilcox was jailed. That Rule Doesn't Apply to Me It was always Sara Fazekas' dream to have sex in public, and so she did, on Nov. 10 in Dunedin, Florida, the New York Post reported. Fazekas, 55, and Robert Clarke, 60, weren't a bit shy about fulfilling her lifelong goal. The police report said the couple were "fully nude on top of one another" on a causeway, even as adults and children looked on. One witness said they were "going to town," but Clarke, a registered sex offender, told police he had no remorse and that "children should be at home and not at the causeway." He was held on $50,000 bond; Fazekas was charged with exposing herself. ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Take it easy this week, Aries.
