2 human skulls found in dead man's garbage
Hartford, Conn. ---------------------- A Connecticut man says two human skulls found at a garbage processing center had been purchased "as a joke" by his now-deceased son.
                                                           Robert DeVitto, 89, told the Associated Press that he wasn't aware the skulls were real.  It wasn't clear if his son knew they were real.  The skulls were found at a waste transfer station near some  books and videos on witchcraft and Santan.  The state medical examiner determined they were from an older man and woman.
                                                           DeVitto tells the Hearst Media Group that his son Robert lived a "troubled life" before he died in October at 56.
                                                           The skulls were removed along with other items belonging to the man by a junk dealer and brought to the transfer station Thursday.  Officials there notified police.

Armored truck's busted lock makes it rain
Urbana, Md. -------------------------- Drivers scrambled to grab money flying around on a highway after an armored truck's door burst open.
                                                           Maryland State Police say a lock on the truck seems to have malfunctioned, causing the door to open yesterday morning.  A bag of cash fell onto Interstate 270 near Urbana and the bills flew in the air.
                                                           Police say a number of drivers stopped on the interstate and grabbed what cash they could before a fire department vehicle arrived and turned of its emergency lights.  Responding troopers were able to help the truck's driver recover about $200.
                                                           Police urge the drivers who took the cash to return it to the state police, or else face charges of theft if they're found.

Some best friend : Dog leads cops to owner
Prattville, Ala. ------------------------ Police in central Alabama say a man's own dog helped officers bust him on a drug charge.
                                                           Prattville Police spokeswoman Paula Barlow says the pooch named Bo followed his fleeing master, who was being pursued by officers.  When the dog stopped and wagged his tail in tall grass, she says, officers found and arrestede Edwin Henderson.
                                                          Barlow says the chase began when two drug officers arrived with a search warrant and Henderson took off running.  After an investigator pointed at Henderson and told the dog "go get him," that's what Bo did.
                                                          Barlow says Henderson is charged with failure to obey police, manufacturing a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.  It's unclear if he has an attorney, and there's no word on who's taking care of Bo.
