March 18, 2010 (PITTSBURGH) -- Police say a man broke into a Pittsburgh home and climbed into bed with its owner, apparently because he was drunk and cold following a rap concert.
Homeowner Frank Fontana says he was in bed when the man climbed in about 5:30 Wednesday morning. Fontana says he asked whether it was a woman who has keys to his home -- and he grabbed a baseball bat when a deep male voice answered, "No, it's not."
Police say Fontana kept the man at bay until police arrived but didn't hit him with the bat.
Police say the intruder told them he was looking for shelter after a Tuesday night concert by rapper Jay-Z at the Mellon Arena.

40 Year old Las Vegas man accused of having intimate relationship with 15 year old soccer player
A 40-year-old man accused of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl who was a player on a soccer team he coached pleaded guilty in district court today to two felony charges.
Gabriel G. Lopez, of Las Vegas, pleaded guilty to two counts of statutory sexual seduction in connection with what police said was an ongoing relationship with the girl.
Lopez and the girl were spotted by a Henderson police officer in a parked vehicle near the Arroyo Grande Sports Complex at about 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 21, 2009.
Authorities said they told police they were just talking. Upon questioning, the girl told police the two had been in a sexual relationship for several months.
When asked her age, the girl at first said she was 17, but later admitted she was 15, police said. The age of consent in Nevada is 16.
Lopez was initially facing 11 counts of statutory sexual seduction. After negotiations with prosecutors, he waived a preliminary hearing in Henderson Justice Court so he could plead guilty in district court to the two counts.
He is scheduled to be sentenced July 20 in front of District Court Judge Michelle Leavitt. The maximum penalty on each count is five years, with a minimum of one year, or the judge could elect to sentence him to probation.
Lopez has remained out of custody after posting $22,000 bail.
Lopez and his attorney, Bill Terry, declined to comment on the case after Thursday’s hearing; however, Lopez did offer an apology.READ MORE AT:http://www.lasvegassun.com/

Domestic Violence victim takes back her abusive ex-con boyfriend and becomes murder victim
A Brooklyn woman who once sought refuge in a domestic violence shelter took back her ex-con boyfriend, only to become the victim of an apparent murder-suicide, neighbors and police said Thursday.
Wendy Gonzalez, 31, was found lifeless on the bedroom floor of her Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment as the body of her former boyfriend hung from a window grate just a few feet away, police said.
Investigators believe Eddie Rhodes, 40, strangled his on-again, off-again-girlfriend before taking his own life, NYPD sources said. The dead couple had recently reconciled, according to a shaken neighbor.
"They moved here to get her away from him, but she took him back," said the neighbor, who declined to give her name.
"He wasn't supposed to know where she lived [but] she took him back and it ended in her death," the neighbor said.
"It's such a sad, sad case." Gonzalez, who has two daughters under the age of 7, had briefly lived in a domestic violence shelter in the Bronx to escape from Rhodes, neighbors said.
But she moved to the Lafayette Ave. building earlier this year, and Rhodes began to visit frequently, neighbors said.
Though normally quiet, Gonzalez's stereo blared at full volume most of Wednesday - making neighbors suspect that the killer was trying to mask the murder.
"It was so loud that nobody could hear her scream," the neighbor said.
When Gonzalez's worried sister couldn't reach her, she called 911, and firefighters knocked down the door at 8:10 p.m., discovering the bodies inside.
Gonzalez's grief-stricken sister collapsed in tears in the apartment building's hallway, the neighbor said.
"Her sister was outside screaming and crying, 'We told her to stay away from him! Why did she go back to him?,'" the neighbor said.
Gonzalez never filed a domestic incident report against Rhodes, according to the NYPD.
But Rhodes had a lengthy criminal record with more than two dozen arrests, including busts for assault, weapons possession and sexual abuse, according to records.
He also served two prison sentences---http://www.nydailynews.com/

Joliet Laundry Workers find remains of fetus in a bag of sheets and towels from a Chicago hospital...
Laundry workers in southwest suburban Joliet were shocked and saddened Tuesday night after finding the remains of a fetus in a bag of sheets and towels from a Chicago hospital.
Joliet police Chief Fred Hayes said it was shortly after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday when employees at Premiere Laundry Technologies at 506 Mills Rd. in Joliet were taking soiled linens from the wash when they made the discovery.
"A bundle was coming out on the conveyor belt after it had gone through the complete wash cycle and was being separated when they found the fetus wrapped inside," Hayes said.
Police were called and learned the laundry had been picked up at 11 a.m. Tuesday from Resurrection Health Saint Mary Medical Center at 2233 W. Division St.
A forensic examination performed Thursday and the 130-gram fetus determined it had a gestational age of 21 to 23 weeks, according to the Will County Coroner’s office.
It was not known if the child was born dead or alive, and it does not appear to have been a viable birth. The sex and date of birth were also not known, but decomposition was not evident during the exam, according to the coroner’s office.
Death was pronounced at 9:44 p.m. The remains were taken to the county morgue where an examination, but not autopsy, will be performed Thursday.
Hayes said Joliet police contacted Chicago Police to alert them of the death and called the hospital.---http://www.suntimes.com/
