The Sheriff&#8217;s Office said there were no reports of injuries from the ice chunk. Deputies said they do not yet have an explanation for where the ice chunk came from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is not what anyone wants to be awoken by. Ken Millermon says last Tuesday he was in his bed at his home in Elk Mound, Wisconsin, when a 12.6-pound chunk of ice crashed through the roof and into his room.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The National Weather Service said the storm clouds in the area at the time were not strong enough to produce hail the size of the ice chunk. The sheriff\u2019s office says the origins of the ice chunk are unknown. Millermon says he was lucky the chunk only \u201cgrazed him.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u27a2 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A drug dealer in England thought he was the big cheese &#8212; until a block of creamy Stilton led to his arrest. Liverpool resident Carl Stewart was arrested after he posted a photo of himself holding the small block of cheese on an encrypted messaging service.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The service had been cracked by police in Europe, and from the photo, his palm and fingerprints were analyzed. The 39-year-old was sentenced to 13 years and six months in prison at Liverpool Crown Court last week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u27a2 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0This got posted over the weekend . . .

The video shows the bears swimming and wandering outside the pool after the students fled to a safe distance. Johnson wrote, \u201cBlack bears in the Great Smoky Mountains are beautiful but please be respectful, keep your distance, and don\u2019t feed them.
