He went through the kitchen, jumped a wall, and went into the hotel’s outdoor pool, still wearing his rollerblades, police said.

He wasn’t injured or overheated, police said.

Great moments in laundry

Small fire caused by socks heating on stove

Socks heating in a pan on a stove caused a small fire in a College Township mobile home Friday morning.

State College police said a neighbor reported smoke coming from the mobile home at 620 Centre Ave. When police arrived, no one was home and police had to force their way inside. That's when they discovered a pair of socks heating in a pan on the stove in the kitchen.

There were no damages to the mobile home.

Firefighters from Alpha Fire Company extinguished the fire.

Most people would just hang their laundry outside to dry, especially when it's in the high 80s and sunny.

According to the state Department of Agriculture, the raccoon was seen wandering around the central part of campus on June 30.

Campus police shot the raccoon and submitted it to Penn State’s Animal Diagnostic Lab for rabies testing.

This behavior could describe any of thousands of college students on campus during any Friday or Saturday night during the semester.
