Defendants told to pull up pants NEW YORK (UPI) -- New York court officers said forcing defendants with saggy pants to pull them up is a matter of respecting the court. Court officers in the Bronx and across the city said defendants whose pants hang low enough to expose underwear are now being told to hike them up or leave the courthouse, the New York Daily News reported Monday. They said saggy pants are particularly prevalent among defendants in the Bronx. "When they wear their pants that way, it shows a lack of respect for the court system and a total lack of respect for themselves," said Dennis Quirk, president of the New York State Court Officers Association. "We don't care about fashion trends." The officers said they are enforcing policies put in place by city judges. "I don't want jeans that are hanging out and showing their underwear," city Supreme Court Justice Efrain Alvarado said. Copyright 2011 by United Press International

Shoppers seek romance in grocery aisles MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) -- Grocery stores and co-ops in the Minneapolis area said romantic connections are common in the aisles because food is "something that people have in common." Vivian King, a spokeswoman for Roundy's, which operates Rainbow Foods in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, said it's "natural" for people to hit on each other at the grocery store because "it's around something that people have in common," the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Monday. "Several people make the same types of food, and you can have a conversation that's not intimidating," King said. Elizabeth Archerd, director of membership and marketing for the Wedge Co-op in Minneapolis, said there is a "fair amount of flirting" at the establishment and Liz McMann, Mississippi Market's manager of consumer affairs, said co-op shoppers are likely to make connections because they "know that (others) share some values ... whether environmental or health or the treatment of animals."

Police: Naked woman threw rocks, teeth NAPLES, Fla. (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said they arrested an intoxicated woman who shed her clothes, tossed rocks at people and pulled out her own teeth to throw into a canal. Collier County sheriff's deputies said they responded to a call about a naked woman throwing rocks in the Bayshore area of Naples about 8 p.m. Saturday and they arrived to find Tina Belinda Masta, 46, wrapped in a blanket on a dock, the Naples Daily News reported Monday. The deputies said Masta, who appeared intoxicated and smelled of alcohol, opened the blanket, exposing herself to them, and told them she had taken out some of her teeth and tossed them into the canal. She "kept picking at her teeth and asked to use some pliers," deputies said. Masta was arrested and charged with disorderly intoxication. A neighbor brought her some clothes while she was sitting in the patrol car, deputies said. Copyright 2011 by United Press International
