Denny’s cook busted for special ingredients
By Tinuola Awopetu, Court TV
(Court TV) A former night-shift cook at a Denny’s Restaurant in Illinois is in hot water after allegedly getting creative in the kitchen.
Anthony Lindhorst, of Waterloo, is charged with five counts of aggravated battery for allegedly lacing brownies with marijuana and mixing his semen into the restaurant’s sauce.
Lindhorst is accused of serving the brownies to co-workers and the tainted sauce to two customers.
According to Waterloo Police Chief Joe Brauer, Lindhorst, 26, came to work with a tray of brownies that he baked at home and offered them to two co-workers. One co-worker ate two of the brownies, but the second took a bite and realized that the treat owed its unique flavor to something other than cocoa.
The restaurant fired Lindhorst and contacted Waterloo police about the incident, Brauer said. At the same time, another co-worker came forward with information about Lindhorst’s other culinary exploit.
The employee and two others reportedly saw Lindhorst mix his semen into an order of honey-mustard dressing which he served to two customers on two separate occasions.
“One is a woman who worked at a restaurant where he worked years before. We presume he targeted her because she was a manager,” Brauer said. “The other is a police officer who had stopped him in the past for a minor traffic violation.”
The alleged semen contamination occurred in November and April and was carried out in the restaurant’s restroom. Both customers have tested negative for any infectious disease, Brauer said.
Police conducted an investigation and arrested Lindhorst May 17. He was released on $25,000 bond, but was re-arrested June 2 for witness tampering. Brauer said Lindhorst returned to the restaurant and tried to intimidate a witness. He is out on another $25,000 bail.

WATERBURY, Conn. - A food fight that started with fruit cup turned into a mealtime melee, serving up a full plate of arrests and injuries.
Seven seventh-graders were arrested after a spat in a middle school cafeteria left two teachers and a detective with injuries Wednesday.
The incident began at West Side Middle School after a girl dumped a fruit cup over a boy’s head, police said. The two started fighting, then other students joined in, some jumping on tables and throwing food, police said.
“What was described as a riot situation developed in the cafeteria,” Sgt. Christopher Corbett said.

OH thank god, maybe now rock can be saved…..
ORLANDO, Florida The biggest rock band of the past decade has broken up.
After nearly 10 years together and more than 24 million albums sold, Creed have decided to put an end to their string of multiplatinum records and chart-topping singles. The choice was made months ago, when guitarist Mark Tremonti and singer Scott Stapp reconvened after a yearlong hiatus and ran into problems.
The trouble wasn’t that the collaborative couple Tremonti was responsible for the music, Stapp for the lyrics were clashing creatively. Personal issues, mostly between Stapp and the rest of Creed, caused an irreparable rift that ultimately led to the band’s demise.
The animosity apparently began to churn two years ago, while Creed were promoting 2001’s Weathered on a tour that Tremonti and drummer Scott Phillips described as long and grueling. For starters, to preserve his voice, Stapp sat out soundchecks, which had been where the bandmembers would goof around and playfully bounce new ideas off each other. So Tremonti was forced to germinate those ideas with Phillips and touring bassist Brett Hestla, who had replaced founding member Brian Marshall in 2000, and the collaboration got under Stapp’s skin.
The pinnacle of Creed’s problems took place in Chicago in December 2002. Whether Stapp was inebriated or simply sick, as he had claimed, his performance was so terrible that some members of the crowd sued the band for sucking. For a band proud of its reputation for exciting and passionate performances, such a show was inexcusable. Some fans even balked at Stapp’s heavy-handed Christ-like poses, which he claimed symbolized that he “had some things going on in [his] life,” “kind of felt alone” and “didn’t think anybody had [his] back at the time”
The last time he spoke to Stapp was in February, when the two were still trying to rekindle their creative fires for the follow-up to Weathered. When collaboration and reconciliation proved futile, Tremonti introduced the idea of a world without Creed.
Stapp is working on a solo album with hip-hop producer 7 Aurelius, according to a Wind-Up Records spokesperson. Before that is released, however, he’ll contribute a track to an album inspired by the film “The Passion of the Christ,” which the label will release August 31
