2 Arrested In Case Of Porn Played On Billboard Along I-75
By WWJ NEWS
AUBURN HILLS (WWJ) - Two peo- ple have been arrested in con- nection with pornography played on a digi- tal billboard along I-75.
On a Saturday night last September, 911 calls came pour- ing in from stunned
drivers who saw the porn on the board, south of M-59, in Oakland County.
Police said the suspects scaled a 6-foot fence and forced entry into a shed housing the computer that operates the bill-
board. They loade d up the graphic video, which played on both sides of the
board for about 20 minutes before the board's owner shut it off.
Police released a surveilence photo of the
suspects they said appeared to be young white males, wearing glasses and hoodies, asking for tips to help identify them.
While Auburn Hills police con- firmed the arrests to WWJ Newsradio 950 on Friday, they would not release any details about the suspects or the
investigation. Reports say they are two teenagers, ages 16 and 18, although WWJ was not immedi- ately able to veri- fy that detail.
It's unclear yet if charges have been filed.
Police last year said the culprits could faces 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine under an Auburn Hills ordinance that prohibits promot- ing pornography in public. They also face potential burglary charges for forcing entry into the building, police said, which is a felony offense.
Las Vegas Firefighters Discover Illegal Gas Station At Home
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas firefighters have discovered what officials describe as an illegal, homemade gas station in a back- yard.
Las Vegas Fire and Rescue shared images online of the
makeshift gas station discov- ered by firefight- ers Tuesday. The photos show two yellow tanks with a gas pump noz- zle on the end of a hose.
Officials say the hose from the yard was long enough to reach
the street for possible curbside fill-ups.
Police say the station may be part of a trend involving gaso- line purchased with stolen credit cards and then deposited into home storage containers.
