The D.A. Of The Day - 1/19/16

NOW WHERE DID I PUT THAT DARN KEY?

A woman in Italy walked into a fire station last week because she had lost the key to her chastity belt and needed help removing it, according to local newspaper Il Messaggero.

The 60-year-old initially told fire crews in the northern city of Padua that she needed help opening a padlock, The Telegraph reports. When firefighters asked the woman where she lived, thinking she'd locked herself out of her house, she lifted her sweater and showed them the iron device.

After cracking open the lock, they investigated whether the woman, whose name has not been released due to Italian privacy law, was a victim of domestic violence who may have been forced to wear the chastity belt.

But the woman told the firefighters she wore it because she was worried about the incidents of sexual violence she saw on the news, Italian news outlet TGCOM24 reported.

Neither the woman nor the fire department have further commented on the incident.

RAISE A MUG...OR ELSE.

A Florida man was arrested after he tried to knock out his neighbor -- for refusing to knock back an after-work cocktail with him.

Edelman Nogueira was taken into custody last week after he allegedly socked the victim in the back of the head when his offer of a drink was declined. The man, whose name was not released, told cops he'd just come back from the gym and was headed to his apartment to have dinner with his wife when Nogueira approached him in the hallway and suggested they hoist a cool one.

Nogueira punched the other man, then chased him down the hall and forced his way into the guy's apartment, where he slapped him again, leading the victim to call 911. Cops responded to the scene and took Nogueira to jail, where he reportedly kicked and punched the glass holding cell, forcing officers to put him in a body restraint.

DO YOU WANT FIRE WITH THAT?

A Florida man thought he'd been burned by a boss who'd canned him from a Burger King job -- so he took off his uniform and set it on fire right outside the eatery doors.

Timothy Ortiz got steamed after his manager told to turn in his shirt and hat, so instead of simply leaving it in the boss's office, he opted to walk out and take a match to it -- just three feet from the gas line leading into the restaurant. A patron called 911 and tried to detain Ortiz, but the spurned worker fled the scene, cursing at witnesses who tried to stop him.

Cops arrived at Ortiz's home a short time later to grill him about the crime, but he grew belligerent and had to be tased before cops could subdue him.
