HVAC contractor Jim Bob Davidson was convicted after charging dozens of customers for an "unconventional" repair. In May of 2017, after receiving 35 complaints from home owners in Cotton Minnesota, the Better Business Bureau decided to turn the information over to the district attorney.
One such customer, Samantha Mayfield, called Jim Bob's Heating and Cooling on March 23rd, to report a squeaking noise inside her furnace. Jim Bob explained that the squeaking was coming from the "squirrel cage", and told her: "In the wild, squirrels will last about 12 years, but in a furnace, they only last about half as long". After reluctantly agreeing to the repair, Samantha watched him retrieve a caged rodent from his truck and descend into the basement. Jim Bob charged her $299 for the squirrel replacement, but he waived a $37 charge for "Refilling the Nutella Reservoir".
Jim Bob Davidson has refunded his customers for the phony charges, and he is now serving an 18 month sentence at the Grand Rapids Department of Corrections.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is also investigating the matter. Although it is legal to kill gray squirrels in Minnesota, you are not allowed to keep one as a pet.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
