Llamas Captured After Chase
Two llamas eluded authorities for hours Thursday in Sun City, Arizona. National news outlets covered the nearly four-hour chase through the retirement community. "It's unusual to see two llamas in Arizona running for no apparent reason. We suspected they were possibly up to something, and it appears we were correct," said a police spokesman.
One of the llamas was reportedly apprehended with a hacksaw while the other was carrying a shovel, prompting authorities to consider criminal charges against the two in connection with a recent vandalism.

Injuries Reported In Lois Lerner Email Investigation
Sources claim two individuals from the Inspector General's office who were doing a preliminary investigation of thousands of recently discovered Lois Lerner emails were briefly hospitalized Thursday after allegedly coming across several "sexting" ones.
"Apparently, the investigators unexpectedly saw three or four emails with images of a very personal nature. From the description I was told, these guys are extremely fortunate they weren't made permanently gay," said an anonymous source close to the case.
Investigators are combing through tens of thousands of emails that Lerner had claimed were destroyed.
