A Man Stole an 800-Pound Cannon to Settle a Drug Debt
Here's something you've never heard before: If you're a loose cannon, you could be stolen to pay off a drug debt.
A 38-year-old man in Kansas named Gordon Pierce stole a rare, 800-pound Spanish-American War cannon from a park in Wichita.
He wasn't a history buff. He owed his drug dealer $20,000 . . . and was worried that the man would KILL HIM and his family if he didn't pay.
Gordon told police he was scouting copper statues to steal and make back the money. And on April 2nd, he spotted the cannon . . . figured that might do it . . . and got a homeless person to help him rip it out of the ground.
He used a chain and a Chevy Tahoe to DRAG it away, then got some tools and cut it up into four or five pieces. He took the pieces to his dealer to show that he was working on the debt, and the dealer called the plan, quote, "stupid."
A friend turned Gordon in . . . and he was charged with theft of property, aggravated criminal damage, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

A Woman Was Convicted of Harassment . . . for Cracking an Egg on Her Daughter's Head for TikTok?
Remember that TikTok trend where people would crack eggs on the foreheads of their unsuspecting friends and family members . . . and then post their shocked reactions online? It got even wilder when people did it to kids.
Well, here's some "vengeance." A mother in Sweden was convicted of harassment, and was ordered to pay her daughter $2,000 in damages for posting a video of herself cracking an egg on the girl's head.
The girl is young, and she wasn't the one who made the complaint. Someone else did, and a prosecutor picked it up and ran with it and argued to a judge that this wasn't fun, that it was CRUEL.
She said, "You simply don't do that to a child. To record and humiliate the child and then broadcast it to thousands of viewers . . . I find that incredibly degrading. [It's] a reckless act." And the judge agreed.
The mother insists that it was just a harmless prank.
