Florida Man, but in your State

Lets see the bizarrely funny news stories from your State.
Here's a couple from my locale.

In Florida, so I guess I can't play.....

Though I will point out there was a study a few years back that showed a higher-per-capita incidence in "WTF?" news moments in Ohio than in Florida....

In kindness, perhaps you glossed over, "in your State?" Share if you please.

I've lived in Florida all my life and every "Florida Man" story I read I expect to see the name of someone I know.

Denise Callahan, 41, seems like someone who is totally satisfied that the juice was worth the squeeze.

There is another meme of her with the same pic stating she was caught breastfeeding herself.

The Facebook post is originally from Bipolar Bear. Note the news entities name.

From the original Facebook meme:

The sheriff’s office said the case is still under investigation and reminded residents that fireworks are explosives, not tools for settling relationship disputes.

Is that a turtle in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

"Security personnel at Newark Liberty International Airport have seen a lot, but one traveler took the cake by attempting to smuggle a live turtle hidden inside his pants. TSA agents flagged the unusually slow-moving bulge during a routine screening, leaving everyone in the security line wondering what the master plan possibly could have been"
