A raccoon that appeared to be stranded on a ledge after climbing more than 20 stories of a high-rise office building in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, has made it to the roof, easing concerns that the animal could plummet to its death. Onlookers and reporters tracked the raccoon’s progress Tuesday as it scaled the UBS Tower. By early Wednesday, the animal made it to the roof, where St. Paul Animal Control had placed cat food and a trap in hopes of enticing the animal to safety. The raccoon’s adventures caused a stir on social media, with many Twitter users voicing concern for its safety or joking about the drama surrounding the animal’s exploits. Minnesota Public Radio, from a building less than a block away, branded the raccoon #mprraccoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0J8U0RecIw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytkkbQRfvE4

Two roommates face rape charges for allegedly grooming a prisoner to be their “sex puppy,” according to reports. Jacob Lester, 26, and Benjamin Mooney, 31, are accused of inviting a person over Thursday for “pup play training” then keeping the person captive at their home in Fayetteville, Arkansas, news station KSFM reported. Police said the unnamed individual went willingly to the residence but was drugged, raped and beaten. Investigators said the “pup play training” was aimed at making the victim more submissive. Mooney reportedly handled the lessons but the group had threesomes in between. The incidents left the person with bruises and whip marks all over the back and buttocks, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. Police said the victim was able to escape Saturday morning from the home, and showed up naked at a Goshen residence, pleading for help. Authorities tracked down the two men who allegedly admitted in an interview to the bizarre sex acts. When police read Mooney his rights, he said that if he understood he would respond with a “woof.” He reportedly explained that “woofs” meant that his “puppy personality” comprehended, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Mooney told police that his personalities are split between a sex puppy, a sex slave and a person. He also said he couldn’t recall whether he struck the victim because he “blacks out while he is in sex slave persona,” according to the police report. Both men were arrested Saturday on charges of rape and false imprisonment. They are being held on bail at the Washington County Detention Center.

A woman has accused Jamie Foxx of slapping her in the face with his penis, an allegation the actor-musician is calling an “absurd” lie. The alleged incident took place in 2002, but the woman making the claim only went to Las Vegas police last week, according to TMZ. The woman claims she and a friend were partying at the Oscar winner’s pad when he allegedly asked her for oral sex. She claims that when she refused, Foxx slapped her face with his penis. The woman claims she went to the hospital in Los Angeles the next day to seek treatment for a severe panic attack. The case is open, but the statute of limitations expired after three years. Foxx plans to fire back legally at his accuser. “Jamie emphatically denies that this incident ever occurred, and he will be filing a report with the Las Vegas Police Department against the woman for filing a false police report against him,” Jamie’s attorney, Allison Hart of Lavely & Singer, told TMZ. “The first time [Jamie] became aware of this woman’s absurd claims about an incident that supposedly occurred 16 years ago was when TMZ contacted his representatives [Tuesday] about this story.” Hart added, “The alleged incident was not reported to law enforcement in 2002, or at any other time in the last 16 years until last Friday because the incident never happened.”

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half. We are planning on moving to California together in a few months. I flew to Monterey to job hunt, and he is supposed to be flying in soon. However, last night I found out he and his buddy went to a strip club. My boyfriend knows I’m uncomfortable with him going to strip clubs, and he assured me that they would not be going when we spoke on the phone earlier in the evening. He says I’m controlling and childish for being angry at him. I told him it’s either me or the strip clubs — mostly just to see how he would react. His response was that freedom of choice is very important to him. I even went as far as to say if he feels the need to go to strip clubs, then I would start stripping on the side to spite him. I’m tempted to cancel his ticket to California. I don’t want him flying here if we are just going to fight. Is this situation worth the cost of a relationship? How do I deal with someone so stubborn to the point he can’t see when he’s in the wrong? Abby, he is in the wrong, isn’t he? — Choice Is Clear Dear Choice: A wise woman chooses her battles carefully. If your boyfriend spent more than an occasional evening hanging out in strip clubs, I can see why it would be a deal breaker. But unless you left something important out of your letter — like the fact that he did more than look — it doesn’t appear that he does. You escalated the situation and you shouldn’t have. However, if you feel so strongly about strip clubs, perhaps you should consider finding another man to spend your life with because it really isn’t possible to control the actions of another adult.

A man was left with a circle-shaped wound on the roof of his mouth after performing too much oral sex, dentists said. The 47-year-old paid a visit to his dentist after noticing a filling in his tooth was cracked. While dentists were examining his mouth they noticed a “circular-shaped lesion” on his soft palate — the roof of his mouth. The man, from Mexico, was unaware of the lesion and said it had not caused him pain. Confused as to what it might be, dentists took a full history of the patient. He told dentists he had a history of marijuana and cocaine use and was sexually active with men. The last time he had performed oral sex on someone was three days before his appointment, according to the BMJ case report. Dentists concluded the lesion, known as an erythema, was caused by him giving oral sex. “The contact of the palate with the penile glands may cause a hematoma due to blunt trauma and dilatation of the blood vessels because of the negative pressure created while sucking,” Dr. Luis Alberto Mendez, who treated the patient, wrote in the report. “With this information, we concluded that the erythema on the soft palate was associated with the practice of oral sex.” The lesions went away on their own, although he was advised that oral sex was off the cards for a few days. After 15 days the lesions had completely gone and the man was able to resume his sex life. It’s not the first time this type of injury has been recorded, although it is rare. A study of 132 sex workers in Peru noted that 17 of the participants suffered lesions in the mouth due to oral sex, the report notes. “It is pertinent to consider this practice [oral sex] as a potential cause of oral lesions, particularly on the palate,” Mendez added. “It is important to obtain a comprehensive history and a detailed oral examination. “In high-risk patients, we should consider the possibility of sexually transmitted disease. “As health care professionals, it is our responsibility to provide counseling and reassurance to all patients presenting with these lesions, particularly those undertaking high-risk sexual behavior.”

Several researchers off the coast of Virginia recently got front-row seats to the cannibalistic nature of the great white shark. The Virginian-Pilot reported Monday that Virginia Institute of Marine Science researchers caught a 4-foot black tip shark on Friday during a longline fishing survey. They were about 3 miles off the coast of Sandbridge when a 12-to-13-foot great white showed up and stole the show — and the smaller shark. The crew scrambled to save the other sharks they caught while the great white tore into the black tip. The newspaper reports other great whites have been caught in the area, but the researchers were surprised by this one’s size. The sharks caught by the institute are tagged and released.

Joy Behar hospitalized after avocado accident On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Joy Behar revealed she had to miss work Monday because she’d sliced open her hand cutting an avocado. “Saturday night, on my way to the event at the retreat, I stabbed myself in the hand with a knife,” she explained. “I was trying to desperately eat something, so I was trying to open an avocado. So I stuck the knife into the pit to get it out … and I stabbed myself!” At the hospital, where the 75-year-old stayed overnight and was administered an antibacterial drip to ward off infection, Behar was told that this sort of accident happens all the time. “Apparently there is a syndrome called avocado hand,” she said. “It’s real! The doctor said, ‘We get this all the time.’ And bagels also. Any time you’re holding the item, and you cut it, you can get this.” Despite the pain she was in, Behar still had a sense of humor about the ordeal, even after her fellow panelists gave her a safety glove and an avocado slicer. “I’ll leave the dicing to Rachael Ray and only buy ready-made guacamole. That’s it!” she joked. Sounds like a solid plan.

Mexican drug lord known as 'La Barbie' sentenced to 49 years in prison An American-born man who rose through the ranks of a notorious Mexican drug cartel was sentenced Monday to nearly 50 years in prison on charges of cocaine trafficking and money laundering. Edgar Valdez Villarreal, known as “La Barbie,” was sentenced in Atlanta to 49 years and one month in federal prison and was slapped with a $192 million fine, according to the Justice Department. In January 2016, Villarreal was convicted of conspiracy to import cocaine, distributing cocaine and money laundering after pleading guilty. Villarreal, 44, got the nickname “La Barbie” because of his light complexion and eyes. not to mention his impossibly small waist and oversized bosom He will spend the rest of his life in prison, and will serve 10 years of probation if he’s still alive when his term ends, prosecutors said. “Valdez-Villarreal imported tons of cocaine into the U.S. while ruthlessly working his way up the ranks of one of Mexico’s most powerful cartels, leaving in his wake countless lives destroyed by drugs and violence,” U.S. Attorney Byung Pak said in a statement. “The highest levels of Mexican drug cartel should know that, like La Barbie, they will be held accountable for their crimes.” Villarreal was born in Laredo, Texas where he began his drug trafficking career in early 2000 by distributing marijuana. After distributing cocaine in cities like Memphis and New Orleans, he entered the Beltran-Leyva drug cartel, which was associated with Joaquin (El Chapo) Guzman’s Sinaloa Cartel, prosecutors said. He helped coordinate drug shipments from Colombia to Mexico and earned a spot as the cartel’s top enforcer while arranging wars between its rivals, according to prosecutors. In 2010, Mexican federal authorities arrested Villarreal at his vacation home outside Mexico City. Five years later, he was extradited to the U.S. to face charges.
