Austin Gullette denies the crime, but police in Ouachita, La., say they have the right man.

They've charged Gullete with having sex with his sister's pig.

According to Major Royce Toney, with the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office, Gullette's sister caught the 45-year-old man in the act Aug. 30.

"She heard her pig squealing around 11 p.m. and went out to investigate," Toney said.

The woman reportedly observed her brother engaging in intercourse with her Vietnamese potbelly pig, P-Pie. When she confronted Gullette, he fled into the woods, she said.

Deputies caught and arrested Gullette who denied the incident.

Toney said the eyewitness account and physical evidence found on Gullete prompted the arrest.

Gullete has been charged with committing a crime against nature and is being held without bond at the Ouachita Correctional Center. He faces a fine of up to $2000 and five years in jail with or without hard labor.

P-Pie is under observation at a local veterinarian.

Andres Torres says he robbed a bank to impress a woman. Perhaps he was so blinded by love that he failed to notice the police station across the street.

Police in Butler, Wis., charged Torres, 28, with armed robbery after he held up a local bank Aug. 19.

According to Butler Police Chief Mike Olson, Torres told investigators that he had recently met a woman and wanted to woo her with money. He initially planned to rob a bank in nearby Milwaukee but lost his nerve. He settled on a Bank One in Butler instead, but failed to notice the police department opposite the bank.

Torres allegedly walked into the bank around noon wearing a pair of sunglasses and a sweatshirt that partially obstructed his face. He demanded money from a teller and fled with an undisclosed amount, Olson said.

Witnesses recognized Torres' getaway vehicle and called Butler police with tips that led to his arrest. The bank thief admitted to the robbery, but police weren't convinced that his motive was purely romantic.

Police only recovered $100 of the stolen money, Olson said. Torres had spent most of the money, not on his mysterious love interest, but at a local casino.

Torres is being held at the Waukesha County Jail. He faces 40 years in prison if convicted.

If Counterfeiting 101 were a college course, Andrew Baldwin and Henry Schwartz would flunk badly.

The two Linfield College, Ore., students pleaded guilty to counterfeiting charges after they were caught spending fake ten-dollar bills.

McMinnville Police Lieutenant Rob Edgell said the duo, both 19, printed approximately $200 worth of money on their computers and circulated the fake bills at local convenience stores and fast-food restaurants. But their poor attention to visual detail curtailed their spending spree.

According to the Oregon News Register, the bills were off-color and irregular in size. A sharp-eyed cashier at a fast-food restaurant noticed the poorly printed bills, then took down the students' license plate numbers and contacted police, Edgell said.

Police arrested the novice counterfeiters and found $60 of the remaining fake bills and the original ten-dollar bill.

Baldwin and Shwartz pleaded guilty to counterfeiting and possession of counterfeit money charges. They were sentenced to 10 days in jail, fined $1000 and $500 respectively, and placed on two years probation.
