It’s not what the dog dragged in, but who dragged themselves in through the dog’s door that’s drawn the attention of authorities in Oregon.
The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that a burglary suspect used a doggie door to get into a home last Tuesday.
The incident happened in Clackamas around 10:30 a.m. when the man made a “brazen entry” into the home through the doggie door that was captured on a surveillance camera.

“The video clearly captures the suspect looking in the window, then entering through the doggie door,” the sheriff’s office said. “After the suspect realizes he’s on camera, he attempts to conceal his identity by quickly pulling a hood tightly over his head and then covering the camera with a blanket.”

After breaking into the home, police said the man stole several items from the home, including electronics and jewelry.
“However — and fortunately for investigators — the victim had a surveillance camera pointed in the suspect’s direction,” police said.

A police officer in California was recognized Monday for his heroic actions last month when he saved a choking 9-month old baby in a dramatic rescue that was captured on bodycamera video.
Culver City Police Officer Brian Cappell was first to respond on the scene on March 22 to a report of a baby who was unconscious and not breathing after choking on a snack.
Body camera footage released by the department shows the moment that Janet Lockridge’s 10-year-old daughter, Auria, flagged down Cappell in the street in her pink pajamas and frantically brought him to her mother’s car.
Cappell then grabbed the silent, unresponsive child, turned her over into the palm of his hand and struck her back repeatedly from training he learned until the infant let out a cry.
“It was the most beautiful cry I’ve ever heard in my life,” he told FOX11. “Going from silence to crying is an unimaginable sound.”

Lockridge said the cry sounded “like an angel.”
“It was literally like God sent his angel through him,” she said.

Officials said the incident showed the importance of being certified in CPR, and have a step-by-step guide to print out and keep in wallet, car, or a first-aid kit for quick access.
The girl’s mother expressed her gratitude in an interview with FOX11.
“Cherish your children’s lives and hug them right now because you might not have Officer Cappell,” Lockridge said. “I hope it does not happen to anybody else because it was the worst situation of my entire life.”

A Florida teenager’s goal to do well on the SAT ended up paying off — and then some — when he discovered he’d earned a perfect score of 1,600 on the test.
Jacob Harrison, a junior at Largo High School in Largo, Fla., had set a goal to score 1,550 when he first took the SAT back in December. When he checked back in to find out his score, however, the 17-year-old said he got quite a surprise.
“I was shocked, I showed my friend because I was walking to school,” he told FOX13 on Tuesday. “We both kind of freaked out for a second and then ran to class.”
Harrison said he studied for the SAT and took practice tests to prepare. But between his other extracurricular activities, the teen wasn’t expecting a perfect score.

“I was just trying to focus, but I kept getting distracted,” he told FOX13.
Less than 1 percent of the 2.1 million students who took the SAT in 2018 scored between 1,400 and 1,600, according to the College Board’s most recent total group report. Harrison was the first student in Pinellas County to earn a perfect SAT score since 2013, according to FOX13.

Harrison said while he may have achieved a perfect score, he’s focused on his other activities and newfound tutoring business. After graduating from high school, the 17-year-old is looking to go on to college to study statistics.
“There’s a lot of attention with getting 1,600, but you know, I’m just kind of moving on from it, and focusing on other things in my life,” he told FOX13.

It may be April but winter’s icy grip remains firm across the central U.S., where a potential blockbuster storm is set to bring an onslaught of heavy snow and blizzard conditions through Friday.
Blizzard warnings are now in effect in 6 states, stretching from Colorado all the way up to Minnesota, according to Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean.
“This actually could be a historic storm for folks across these areas,” Dean said Wednesday on “FOX & friends.”
“We could see 6 to 12, to 24 inches of snow, winds in excess of 35, even 50 mph,” Dean added. “Travel is going to be impossible in some of these areas.”
‘SIGNIFICANT’ WINTER STORM THREATENS BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL US
The National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center said the storm system will move over the Rockies and into the Northern Plains by Wednesday night, bringing heavy and wet snow to the region.
Up to 2 feet of snow is possible in some spots across the Central U.S. from the major storm system. (Fox News)
“A swath of 1 to 2 feet of snow is forecast for the Central/Northern Plains and into Western Minnesota through Thursday evening, with locally higher amounts,” the NWS said.

The highest amount of snow is expected to fall across South Dakota, but the combination of snow and strong winds throughout the region will make traffic “difficult to impossible” as visibility drops to “near zero.”
There is also the potential for sleet and freezing rain with accumulating ice near the border of Iowa and Minnesota, which may lead to power outages and dangerous travel.

The storm could be similar to last month’s “bomb cyclone” — an unusual weather phenomenon in which air pressure plummets at least 24 millibars in 24 hours and a storm strengthens explosively — that created devastating flooding across the Midwest.
While this latest storm may not intensify fast enough to that category, Colorado State Climatologist Russ Schumacher told the Associated Press it “will be near record intensity for April for this area.”
Besides heavy snow, there is the potential for severe thunderstorms in warmer areas across the Midwest, according to Dean.

The storm is also renewing fears of flooding to a part of the country where massive flooding over the past month has caused billions of dollars in damage.

Nebraska is not expecting a repeat of the catastrophic flooding it experienced last month because the ground is no longer frozen and ice has melted from the rivers, though there might be localized flooding across the state, according to weather service meteorologist Van DeWald in Omaha. The biggest threat will remain along the already swollen Missouri River, he said.
The worst of the snow is expected late Wednesday into Thursday. (Fox News)
“It’s really just going to exacerbate that flooding and prolong it,” he said. “We’re probably looking at that surge hitting those Missouri River areas in Nebraska and Iowa three to five days after the storm.”
In northwest Missouri’s Holt County, where the raging Missouri River ravaged roads and highways, Emergency Management Director Tom Bullock is urging residents to be prepared to get out if another surge of water arrives after this week’s storm.
“We don’t have any protection,” he told the AP. “Our levees are all broke.”

Pablo Serrano-Vitorino, 43, who illegally entered the United States, faced five counts of first-degree murder. (Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office)
An illegal immigrant who led authorities on a manhunt across two states after allegedly killing five people in 2016 was found dead in a jail cell early Tuesday, officials said.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that Pablo Serrano-Vitorino, 43, was found alone and unresponsive in his jail cell at the St. Louis Justice Center after 2 a.m.
“Serrano-Vitorino was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased at 3:06 a.m.,” police said.
Serrano-Vitorino, who was in the country illegally from Mexico, had been charged with five counts of first-degree murder after he allegedly killed four men in Kansas City, Kan., and later killed another man in Missouri before being captured.
The killings in Kansas City spurred a manhunt involving nearly 100 officers to arrest Serrano-Vitorino, who was found armed with an assault rifle and hiding face-down in a ditch 170 miles away at the time of his capture.

After his arrest, Serrano-Vitorino attempted to take his own life after being placed in the general prison population at the Montgomery County Jail, FOX4 reported at the time. Officials on Tuesday did not disclose how he died in St. Louis.
The 43-year-old was facing a looming trial in October for the March 2016 killing of 49-year-old Randy Nordman in New Florence, Mo. Prosecutors had sought the death penalty in the Missouri case, FOX2 reported.
The killings had spurred a 2018 lawsuit from the father of Austin Harter, one of the Kansas victims, who claimed that U.S. immigration officials missed two chances to detain and deport the Mexican national prior to the killings.

In 2016 when the killings occurred, Serrano-Vitorino was arrested and released twice, according to the lawsuit, filed last year in Kansas City, Kan.

Serrano-Vitorino illegally re-entered the U.S. sometime after he was deported to Mexico after being convicted of a felony in 2003. Although he was back behind bars in 2014 and 2015, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement failed to detain him, according to the lawsuit.
In 2014, Serrano-Vitorino was arrested for battery in Kansas, but an ICE agent never showed up despite being notified by Wyandotte County jail officials that he was in custody, the lawsuit alleged. He was arrested again later that year for impaired driving. The lawsuit didn’t state whether ICE officials were notified in that instance.
An ICE spokesman at the time declined to comment on the suit, but noted the “lack of comment should not be construed as agreement with or stipulation to any of the allegations.”

This man’s workout nearly killed him — and it had nothing to do with exercise.
Samuel Kiwasz was at an “Anytime Fitness” gym in Culver City, California on March 29 when an SUV smashed through a window and struck him as he was on a treadmill warming up before a group training class.
“It’s a miracle that I’m alive,” he told FOX11. “All of a sudden there was this loud crash and the glass came flying and I got hit, and I got shoved back and I went flying and rolled to the side so I wouldn’t get crushed.”
Security cameras at the gym captured the moment that Kiwasz was on a treadmill at 5:49 a.m., before the Mercedes SUV slammed into the building through a window, ramming the treadmill into a back wall.

Even though spring may have sprung across much of the country, a major late-season winter storm is threatening to bring blizzard conditions to the Central U.S. — and the storm’s impact could be felt nationwide.
The National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center said Tuesday the developing “significant” storm system will first bring snow over the Cascades before spreading over the Northern Rockies into the Upper Midwest by midweek.
“A blizzard my friends, in April, it’s happening across portions of South Dakota up towards Nebraska and then into Wisconsin,” Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean said on “FOX & friends.” “We could see over a foot of snow and windy conditions and the potential for flooding ahead of this, some ice as well.”

Heavy snow and strong winds are forecast to produce “life-threatening” travel conditions across the region starting Wednesday, according to the WPC. Blizzard conditions are expected as winds intensify late Tuesday into Wednesday.

“The heavy wet snow may also lead to power outages,” the NWS said.
Besides heavy snow, rain will stretch across parts of the central U.S. that are still dealing with river flooding, including Iowa and Illinois. There is also the threat of severe weather for the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys through Thursday.

Blizzard warnings stretch from Nebraska to western Minnesota, where up to 2 feet of “very heavy and wet” snow may fall.
“A potentially historic winter storm will bring severe impacts Wednesday night into early Friday, similar to the one last April,” the NWS Twin Cities office said on Twitter.
“This may not be your typical blizzard with dry, powdery snow for the Plains and Upper Midwest,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. “But, this may be more of a plastering effect with heavy, wet snow that is difficult to shovel and plow.”

Heavy snow may also impact the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, which is also forecast to see rain before the changeover to frozen precipitation.
“If the mix doesn`t reach as far north as the Twin Cities, then perhaps the metro could experience blizzard conditions as well — similar to what happened last year,” the NWS office said.
After impacting the Central U.S., the storm system is forecast to eventually bring rain to the Northeast by the end of the week.

Montessa Tate-Thornton, 19, was arrested after she was found naked and waving a weapon in a Waffle House in Nashville on Saturday, according to police. (Metro Nashville Police Department)
A woman sought by authorities in Tennessee in connection with a 2017 murder was taken into custody early Saturday — armed and wearing just her birthday suit, according to police.
Authorities were called to a Waffle House in south Nashville near Interstate 24 after receiving a report of a naked man and woman with a weapon inside the restaurant.
Staff and customers were evacuated due to feeling threatened as the woman, later identified as 19-year-old Montessa Tate-Thornton, waved the gun around and acted erratically, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX17.

Officers arriving at the restaurant found Tate-Thornton wearing no clothes and “screaming, sweating excessively and making incoherent statements,” WKRN reported.
The 19-year-old reportedly admitted to police she had used marijuana and cocaine.
Tate-Thornton had an outstanding warrant for 1st-degree murder and aggravated robbery in connection with the death of a 23-year-old man in December 2017, according to FOX17.
Police took the 18-year-old into custody without incident. Besides the charges linked to the outstanding warrant, Tate-Thornton was also charged with possession of a weapon while under the influence, public indecency, being a felon in possession of a weapon and public intoxication.
The other naked suspect at the restaurant was identified as 34-year-old Larico Nixon, who was also arrested and charged with public indecency, public intoxication and being a felon in possession of a weapon, officials said.

A high-speed chase in southern New Mexico ended in a crash that left 2 illegal immigrants dead on Saturday, officials said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release that Border Patrol agents from the El Paso sector were responding to a possible smuggling incident involving a minivan carrying 11 people around 8 p.m. on Highway 9 between Columbus and Santa Teresa, N.M. when the chase began.
After the driver failed to yield to emergency lights and sirens, the agency said Border Patrol agents deployed tire-deflation spikes on the roadway.
The minivan swerved to avoid the device but ended up rolling over and ejecting two people from the vehicle. Five other passengers inside the van were injured in the crash and were transported to an area hospital.
The two people thrown from the minivan, both illegal immigrants, were pronounced dead at the scene, according to CBP.
The crash drew the response of Border Patrol emergency medical technicians and a U.S. Coast Guard medical team assigned to the Santa Teresa Station.
Authorities identified the driver as a 27-year-old man who is a U.S. citizen. Officials said that identifies of those deceased will be withheld pending notification of family members.

In November, three people were killed and eight were injured after a high-speed chase in California involving a pickup truck that went over 100 mph before agents deployed a spike strip and the vehicle crashed off an interstate.
Another high-speed chase with the agency in June 2018 ended when an SUV carrying illegal immigrants crashed, ejecting 12 people — five of whom were killed — near the Texas-Mexico border. That chased also topped 100 mph, and the driver was also an American citizen.

A police officer in Connecticut can be heard crying out in a bodycam video for a driver to stop as he hangs halfway out of a vehicle during a traffic stop last year that nearly cost him his life.
The Groton Police Department released the video Friday of the February 2018 incident that began with Officer Tyler DeAngelo pulling over 22-year-old Taj Dickerson.
Officers had been attempting to arrest Dickerson after cocaine and marijuana were found in the vehicle when the 22-year-old ran back towards his car with DeAngelo right behind him.

After jumping into the vehicle, Dickerson drove off — with the officer hanging halfway out of his vehicle.
“The officer gave countless commands for Dickerson to stop the car as it reached speeds in excess of 50 mph,” police said on Facebook at the time.

In the video obtained by FOX61, the officer can be heard repeatedly asking the 22-year-old to “stop the car” while hanging on for his life for nearly a mile.
“When it appeared that Dickerson was directing the officer and the vehicle at a telephone pole, and fearing for his life, the officer grabbed the steering wheel to turn the vehicle away from the telephone pole,” police said. “The officer then released himself from the vehicle and fell onto Poquonnock Road sustaining non-life threatening injuries.”
