I NEED YOUR LOVE! CHOMP! A 45-year-old California woman, enraged that her husband refused to have sex with her, held him down and bit him 20 times.
He managed to dial 911, and when the cops came, she tried to bite them too. The 65-year-old husband died at the hospital. The wife may face murder charges.     

AS I SIT HERE NAKED, THINKING OF YOU ...: A man went on the Internet posing as a 16-year-old girl, wrote sexy emails and got unsuspecting men to make compromising replies. Then he blackmailed them, threatening to expose them to their co-workers unless they sent him money.
One guy paid him $5,000, but then traced the blackmailer and called the cops.     

IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL, PAL: A soldier at Fort Bragg, N.C., wanted to disappear and start a new life - without the Army or his wife looking for him - so he befriended a man who looked like him, who he found on the Internet, and then cut the guy's throat.
He didn't do a thorough job of it, as the victim managed to pull the knife out of his neck, cut the ropes around his hands and feet and flee. The soldier was arrested.     

IT WAS A PRIVATE AND PERSONAL MOMENT: After exposing her breasts as the videotape rolled at a wild Mardi Gras bash in New Orleans last year, a Florida coed was shocked to see her womanly attributes in a "Girls Gone Wild" video.
She went to court saying her right to privacy was violated. The company settled with her before the case went to trial.     

OR, AS THE KIDS CALLED IT, AMMO: Police got wind of Wisconsin high school students' plans to celebrate homecoming with an egg fight of epic proportions.
They moved in and confiscated 3,600 eggs.
