FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - An Alaska man who hit a Taco Bell manager in the face with a double-decker taco has been sentenced to one day in jail and one year probation.

Warren Strickland of Fairbanks must also pay a $100 fine after pleading guilty Tuesday to disorderly conduct.

POLICE have apologised to a man after he was given two speeding fines from a camera outside his house – despite the fact his car was parked at the time.
Jeff Buck has always parked outside his home in Watnall Road, Nuthall, with no problems.
But in recent weeks he has been surprised to find two speeding fines land on his doormat.
It is believed that when speeding vehicles drive past his parked car the camera is triggered, but instead of snapping the real offenders it is taking a picture of Mr Buck's number plate.
