| Jerk bear crushes camper's tent and gets her arrested on outstanding warrant Posted: 06 Jul 2017 04:49 PM PDT  A bear crashed a camper's tent which ultimately led to her arrest. A woman camping in Centennial Park in Anchorage, Alaska, was rudely awakened by a bear on Tuesday. Police received a phone call from a concerned citizen at approximately 7:30 a.m., claiming that a bear had crashed a tent, possibly with a person inside, the Associated Press reports. SEE ALSO: Angry bear charging a car is a good reminder to leave bears alone When the cops showed up, the bear was gone, and no one responded when they called out for anyone inside the downed tent. However, when police poked a sleeping bag inside the tent, 58-year-old Christine Chalp popped her head out. Chalp claims that she played dead in order to evade the bear. Unfortunately, a bear nearly eating your face is not a good enough excuse to avoid a ticket — or arrest. Police issued Chalp a citation for feeding game after they discovered food and trash around her campsite, which is illegal because it attracts large game such as moose. Oh, yeah, and bears. While issuing the citation, the police discovered that Chalp had a warrant out for her arrest on a misdemeanor failure-to-appear for disorderly conduct, so she was arrested. So basically, this bear blew up her spot which ultimately led to a citation and an arrest. What a jerk. WATCH: 'Golden Girls' starring 4 best dog friends will be your favorite fluffy remake

That, however, was just the beginning of the ordeal. "As soon as the dog's feet hit the ground, without so much as a thank you, it ran off towards the tot lot where several families were playing," the Milwaukee Police Department wrote on Facebook. "Minutes later, there was another splash. The dog jumped back into the water." SEE ALSO: Get the perfect photo of your dog every single time with this gadget This time, the dog was too far out to be reached by a snare or net, so the officers called the fire department for a boat. "While waiting for the boat, they were trying to coax the dog back to shore. After a few minutes the officers could see the animal was starting to struggle in the thick weeds and muck. That's when Officer Spingola said he had to go in." As he was "swimming towards the dog, the dog was struggling to keep afloat. When he reached him, the dog was wrapped up in the weeds, tangled in fishing line and had a hook and bobber hanging from him." As you can see from the video above, the story has a happy ending. Now all they need is for the owner to claim the "happy and healthy" brown poodle mix. WATCH: Teach Your Dog to Text a Selfie

| The most popular Roomba is still on sale, but this hot robot vacuum is even cheaper Posted: 07 Jul 2017 10:34 AM PDT 
The Roomba 650 is one of the most affordable robot vacuum cleaners in the Roomba lineup, so it stands to reason that it's also the most popular. It's packed full of features and yet it costs hundreds less than some of iRobot's premium Roomba vacuums — especially when it's on sale on Amazon, like it is right now. But there's another model from a Roomba rival that's on sale for even less than the 650, and it also happens to be the best-selling model in Amazon's indoor robotic vacuum category right now. It also has a few awesome features that are nowhere to be found on the Roomba. Check out the ECOVACS DEEBOT M80 Pro Robotic Vacuum Cleaner with Mop and Water Tank, you'll be glad you did. Here are some highlights from the product page: - Utilizes various cleaning modes, a 5-stage cleaning system, and optional mopping and drying stages to tackle even the most stubborn dirt.
- Being equipped with a large capacity dustbin allows DM80 to clean for much longer periods of time. Dust, debris, allergens are filtered through high-efficiency filters.
- Performs daily cleaning by using the remote to schedule a clean at a specific time.
- Adapts to individual household environments, and avoids stairs and furniture with advanced sensors. It can climb inclines and crosses doorsills with powerful wheels.
- Bundles with a limited, 1-year manufacturer's warranty and extra accessory set.
