Not just any old prom date
Seymour, Ind. ----------------  An Indiana teenager who took his 93-year-old great grandmother to his junior prom says he had a great time, even though her early bedtime nearly cut the night short.
                                                Drew Holm says his classmates thought it "was pretty cool" that he asks Kathryn Keith to the Crothersville High School junior prom.  Holm picked Keith up in her Cadillac for the dance in Seymour, about 60 miles south of Indianapolis.
                                                Keith, who wore a blue dress, told the Seymour Tribune she's proud that he asked her.  The pair hit the dance floor for only one song, sharing a slow dance.  Their night ended by 9 p.m. because Keith has an early bedtime.

The dog ate my ammo
Mountain Home, Ark. ------ An Arkansas veterinarian has kept a dog from going out with a bang after the animal ate 23 live rifle rounds.
                                                Benno, the 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, had surgery last week to remove the .308-caliber ammunition from his stomach.
                                                Owner Larry Brassfield said Benno has eaten socks, magnets and marbles, but he didn't expect the animal would bother a bag of bullets by his bed.  Brassfield and his wife realized Benno needed medical attention after the pet vomited up four rounds.
                                                Veterinarian Sarah Sexton at All Creatures Animal Hospital removed 17 rounds from Benno's stomach but left two in his esophagus, which the dog was allowed to discharge on his own.
                                                 "This is something they certainly did not cover in school," Sexton said.  "I've had dogs eat things before, mostly stuffed toys.  Once I had one swallow a hearing aid, but I think this takes the cake."

Coke with that granola bar?
San Antonio -------------------- San Antonio police are investigating how a packet of cocaine ended up inside a wrapped Nature Valley granola bar.
                                                  Cynthia Rodriguez, of San Antonio, said she was eating the bar when a small, green bag emblazoned with dollar signs fell out.  Rodriguez contacted manufacturer General Mills Inc., thinking she had won a prize.  Company officials told her to call the police.
                                                   Rodriguez contacted police and investigators determined the bag contained cocaine.  Sgt. Javier Salazar said authorities are trying to determine how the package got inside the wrapper.

Geez, I was just asking
Virginia Beach, Va. -----------  A man accused of robbing a Virginia Beach bank posted two videos and a photo of the incident to his Instragram account.
                                                   Police said that Dominyk Antonio Alfonseca, 23, walked into a TowneBank and handed the teller a note asking for $150,000 in bonds ------- and including the word "please."  He recorded the incident on his cellphone and posted videos and photo of the note online.  Videos show the teller putting stacks of cash in a bag.
                                                   Officers picked up Alfonseca 20 minutes after he left, carrying a gym bag full of money.
                                                   In a jailhouse interview, Alfonseca noted that asking for money isn't a crime.  He said he wouldn't have posted if he'd committed a crime.
