Man arrested after camera catches him faking accident
Police arrested a man in the southeastern US state of Louisiana after he falsified a police report that a Tesla car hit him in a parking lot.
Without knowing that all Tesla vehicles record their camera footage, the man said a Tesla “backed into him”, causing him to fall on the pavement.
The 47-year-old man, identified by the local police as Arthur Bates Jr,claimed that the vehicle driver fled the scene after the incident. A video shared by the police department showed how the man staged the whole episode on September 3.
The clip has no sound. It showed Mr Bates suddenly falling behind the vehicle and dramatising the “accident”. He tried to seek the attention of passersby and remained on the pavement for some time, then turning to his side and dialling his mobile phone, possibly informing the authorities.
Mr Bates had complained of back, leg and neck injuries, following which an ambulance and fire truck had to be dispatched to the location.
When police officers found the Tesla, the driver told them Mr Bates intentionally jumped behind his vehicle and staged the accident.
“When Police officers reviewed the Tesla’s video footage, it became apparent that Bates was lying and staged the entire event,” the police said in the post.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
