A 36-year-old man was arrested and booked in the Monterey County jail after allegedly selling his daughter for marriage and then calling police to complain that her buyer had not paid off his debt.

Greenfield, Calif., police said Marcelino de Jesus Martinez, 36, tried to arrange for his 14-year-old daughter to marry Margarito de Jesus Galindo, 18, for $16,000 and 100 cases of beer, along with several cases of meat and other items.

After the girl moved in with Galindo, Martinez called police to complain that he hadn't been paid. Police said he asked for their help getting his daughter back.

Martinez's daughter did return home, but he was arrested and booked on suspicion of bartering her -- "receiving money for causing person to cohabitate." Galindo, the intended buyer, was booked on suspicion of statutory rape, police said.

Police said the practice of arranged marriage in some cultures is not even an issue in the case, and even if it were, California law doesn't go for it when one or both parties have been coerced.

An armed robber was arrested after he held up a bank and returned minutes later to pay off his overdraft with the stolen money.

It happened in the Serbian ski resort Nova Varos.

The gunman got away with 30,000GBP ($44,474.34) in cash, which he quickly tried to use to settle his overdraft.

He shed the mask before coming back in, but staff recognized him as the gunman who had just pulled the heist.

Burglar caught after passing out
January 16th, 2009 @ 4:05pm
By Sandra Yi
The burglary of a pharmacy where hundreds of OxyContin pills were stolen was easily solved when the suspect passed out nearby after taking the drugs.

The break-in, which happened shortly after midnight at University Hospital's Parkway Health Center Pharmacy in Orem, triggered a burglar alarm. But when police arrived the burglar was gone.

A few hours later, though, the suspect was found lying on the sidewalk with the bottles of drugs he stole still in his pocket.

The suspect got in after breaking out a window using a metal trash can and quickly stole three bottles of OxyContin and took off. Officers were able to find surveillance video of the theft and began looking for suspects.

Fast forward to about 6:30 in the morning when a call came into police reporting a man was passed out on the sidewalk. Police made the connection that the man's clothes matched the description of the pharmacy burglar, and they found about 900 pills of OxyContin on him.

"By using what he had stolen, and doing it outside, he ended up being found lying on a sidewalk, basically passed out with the pill bottles he had stolen earlier in the burglary at the pharmacy
