The D.A. Of The Day - Monday, January 4th

I'D SAY A TIP IS OUT OF THE QUESTION

A Domino’s Pizza customer got more than he bargained for Saturday night when he complained about a slow delivery and was stabbed by the delivery man.

The 20-year-old Covina, California man finally got his pizza at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, but when he complained about the “extended delay of the pizza delivery,” he was stabbed in the neck and wrist by 31-year-old Domino’s employee Michael Charles Parker, according to a lieutenant from the Covina Police Department. The customer was taken to a local hospital where he's in stable condition after being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Parker left the scene of the alleged crime, but police caught up with him early Sunday morning. Police aren’t sure how late the pizza was that led to the complaint and the alleged assault, but we're guessing the customer will think twice about ever complaining again. 

COPS SEEKING NAKED PEEPING TOM IN REAGAN MASK:

An Alabama man may soon be singing "Jail to the Chief" -- after he was spotted lurking on the property of strangers wearing a Ronald Reagan mask and nothing else, other than a tube sock covering his junk.

The man, who is still at large, was first spotted by homeowner Bert Yancey, who chased him out of his yard after seeing him peeping in a window. By the time cops arrived at the scene, he was long gone, but officers insist they intend to track him down to avoid future incidents. A police representative said, "He could have been messed up on drugs or alcohol, and in that mindset you don't know what he would do to someone else."

Another streaker was spotted later in the evening, but police couldn't connect the two incidents.

WOMAN ARRESTED FOR DWI HAS RARE HEALTH CONDITION:

A New York woman arrested for DWI swears she wasn’t drinking. According to ABC news, the woman has a rare condition called “Auto-Brewery” syndrome, where her digestive system is a tiny brewery and makes it appear that she has been imbibing in the hard stuff.

The charges were dropped after her lawyer presented evidence from a doctor that she had the rare disease. Apparently the syndrome causes substances in the gut to ferment food into ethanol, causing a person’s blood-alcoholic level to spike. The person then begins to show symptoms of being drunk, including slurred words and confusion.  The condition is not common but has been found in multiple patients.

Dr. Richard Peek, a professor of medicine and cancer biology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, said the cause of the symptoms is not fully understood although there is one likely culprit. He explains to ABC news, “"Yeast are normally in the GI tract and the commonality of all these case reports is they have an increased number of candida. When [yeast] ingest a meal that has a high amount of carbohydrates, they metabolize the carbohydrates into ethanol."

Peek said more study was needed to pinpoint the exact cause and find a cure that works for all patients.
