A 17-year-old is charged with a felony for allegedly having unprotected sex with a local man without telling him she has AIDS.
Prosecutors charged Amber Jo Sours with the four-year felony after police identified four men who claimed they had sex with her and didn't know she carries the disease.

Kashian said officials think she had sex with a large number of men, "but it's pure speculation on just how many." The prosecutor said there was no pattern to the men Sours allegedly had sex with. She reportedly met most of them at parties.
Sours has been in the juvenile court system since she gave birth to a child at the age of 12. It was not known how Sours may have contracted the disease.
I wouldn't want to rush to judgement, but I might be inclined to speculate Ms. Sours contracted AIDS as a result of shameless promiscuity. It might be considered unfair, however, to stereotype someone without first getting all the facts.

A Transportation Security Administration screener was charged with theft Friday morning after he took money out of a passenger's wallet at a security checkpoint at Hartsfield International Airport, Atlanta police said Saturday.
Louis Marshall faces a charge of theft by taking, said Atlanta Police spokesman John Quigley. Police did not have his age or date of birth.
According to a police report, a man from Jacksonville had placed his wallet in a plastic bucket as he passed the rest of his belongs through an X-Ray machine. A woman who had passed through the checkpoint ahead of the man saw "A TSA employee pick up a wallet and remove money from it," the police report said. "The suspect looked up and saw the witness looking at him and wadded the money up in his hand and walked away."
The two contacted police, who arrested Marshall. Atlanta police had no information Saturday night on where Marshall was being held.

stormy petrel \STOR-mee-PET-ruhl\, noun:
1. Any of various small sea birds of the family Hydrobatidae,
having dark plumage with paler underparts; also called storm
petrel.
2. One who brings discord or strife, or appears at the onset
of trouble.
But far from a 'pet' of the Communist regime, Gorky, the
"stormy petrel of the revolution," also condemned the
revolution early on as a "cruel experiment" with the
Russian people "doomed to failure."
--Valentina Kolesnikova, "Maxim Gorky: Hostage of the
Revolution," Russian Life, June 1, 1996
Stormy petrel is an alteration of earlier pitteral, probably
so named in allusion to St. Peter's walking on the sea, from
the fact that the bird flies close to the water in order to
feed on surface-swimming organisms and ship's refuse; called
stormy because in a storm the birds surround a ship to catch
small organisms which rise to the surface of the rough seas;
when the storm ceases they are no longer seen.
