Long-lost twins lived 3 miles apart

ROTHERHAM, England (UPI) -- A 67-year-old British woman separated from her twin sister at birth says a TV show found her sibling had been living just 3 miles away their whole lives.

Jennifer and Judith Walton, were reunited by the producers of ITV1 series "Long Lost Family" for an episode scheduled for air April 21, said they still live in the Rotherham, England, homes they grew up in and never knew they shared the same doctor and dentist, The Sun reported Tuesday.

The twins said they also found Jen worked for 40 years at the store where Judith, who was renamed Kath by her adoptive family, picked up her prescriptions. They have grandchildren in the same local drama group.

The sisters had been adopted by different families at birth. Jen said she had attempted to track her sister through social services 14 years ago, but had no success. She said it took researchers for the TV show four months to discover her sister living in the same town.

"I dreamed of one day finding my sister and, because I couldn't find her, imagined she was in Australia," Jen said. "When I found she was 'round the corner, I felt so happy.

"Now we see each other every week and pop round to each other's home for cups of tea."

Brewmaster apologizes for bar pee

CHICAGO (UPI) -- The brewmaster of Chicago's Goose Island brewery apologized for urinating into beer glasses while standing on a bar during a birthday party.

Brewmaster Greg Hall, 45, whose family's Goose Island brewery was recently purchased by Anheuser-Busch for $38 million, said he was highly intoxicated Friday when he stood on the bar at Bangers & Lace and urinated into two beer glasses, the Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday.

Hall said his memory of the incident is incomplete due to his intoxication level, but he admitted it happened.

"I did what I did and I take responsibility for it," he said.

"I feel awful. I wouldn't stand [for] it if someone did it at my place or if one of my people did something like that."

Matty Eggleston, the Bangers & Lace bartender who cleaned up the mess, said he does not accept the apology.

"It was disgusting, vile and revolting," he said. "We all do dumb things; that went to a level that was pure insult."

However, Bangers & Lace co-owner Matt Eisler said the establishment is taking "the high road."

"You can imagine we're not happy, but an apology has been offered and we'd like to move on," he said. "It's too bad because it started off as a cool night with a bunch of people from Goose coming to our bar to drink beer."

54-foot height error identifies fake ID

WASHINGTON, Pa. (UPI) -- Police in Pennsylvania said they were tipped off to use of a fake ID when a scanner used on it read the card holder's height as 54 feet tall.

Washington police said an employee at an alcohol distributor in the city called police Saturday night when a card scanner read the height as 54 feet tall, instead of the intended 5 feet 4 inches, The Observer-Reporter in Washington, reported Tuesday.

"An ID scanner was used to verify the age, but the print batch indicated an error on the height of the person," officer Johnathan Miller said. "But there was an error on the purchaser's height. Instead of showing the buyer was 5 feet 4 inches tall, it indicated they were 54 feet tall.

"It indicated that the identification came back as valid, but when it was printed out, it came back as only partial data was accepted and it should have said full data accepted."

Police said the incident led them to seize multiple fake IDs used at the establishment and most of the young people interviewed identified the same Web site as the source of the false documents.

Police said the investigation was ongoing and charges were expected to be filed.

Police: Woman bit co-worker's finger tip

EAST NAPLES, Fla. (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said they arrested a Walmart employee who allegedly bit a co-worker's finger because she believed the other woman was seeing her husband.

Collier County sheriff's deputies said Clodia Coicour, 43, of East Naples, confronted the other woman in the parking lot of the East Naples store Monday, the Naples (Fla.) Daily News reported Thursday.

The alleged victim told police she was leaving the store at the end of her shift at about 7 a.m. and Coicour threw a substance in her face that burned her eyes. The woman said she struggled with Coicour and the attacker bit the tip off her right ring finger.

Coicour, who was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with great bodily harm causing permanent disfigurement, told deputies she believed the other woman was having an affair with her husband, who also works at Walmart.

The alleged victim and Coicour's husband denied having an affair.
