KRAK 11 NEWS

Chip Marlowe

Good afternoon. I'm Chip Marlowe.

Deb Sarkissian

And I'm Deb Sarkissian. This is KRAK 11 News.

Chip Marlowe

This hour: The World Desk, where Michael Carrick says his Manchester United side didn't look ready against Hull. Criminal Intent — treasured relics recovered from a North Carolina lake. Animals — the sea urchin video has led our countdown for forty-seven consecutive hours.

Chip Marlowe

And A Quick Look at Sports, where a New York tax on second homes has sparked a controversy.

Deb Sarkissian

That's not sports.

Chip Marlowe

It was filed under sports.

Deb Sarkissian

Still ahead this afternoon — a cleanup effort in North Carolina brought up a 1920s Model T truck and a boat named Pooh Bear. We'll tell you what else they found when we come back.

Chip Marlowe

The World Desk is next.

THE WORLD DESK

Chip Marlowe

The World Desk.

Deb Sarkissian

Good afternoon.

Chip Marlowe

I have been reading about cricket all morning.

Deb Sarkissian

How is that going?

Chip Marlowe

I understand most of it.

Deb Sarkissian
DURHAM ROUT DERBYSHIRE

We begin in England, where Durham have hammered Derbyshire by three hundred and thirty-eight runs in Division Two of the County Championship.

Deb Sarkissian

Ben Stokes hit sixty-six not out and took five wickets for seventeen runs as Durham wrapped the match inside three days.

Chip Marlowe

That is the second division.

Deb Sarkissian

It is Division Two, yes.

Chip Marlowe

So they have been promoted.

Deb Sarkissian

Durham is in Division Two. Derbyshire is also in Division Two. They are playing each other because they are in the same division.

Chip Marlowe

Right. But one of them moves up.

Deb Sarkissian

At the end of the season, yes.

Chip Marlowe

Thank you, Deb.

Deb Sarkissian
TWO ARRESTED AFTER SOLDIER'S DEATH

In England, police have arrested two men on suspicion of manslaughter after the death of a twenty-two-year-old soldier whose disappearance on a night out triggered a major search.

Deb Sarkissian

Authorities have not released the names of those arrested or confirmed the soldier's identity. The investigation is ongoing.

Chip Marlowe

We will follow that as more information becomes available.

Deb Sarkissian
CHARGES EXPECTED FRIDAY

In Japan, prosecutors say charges will be filed by Friday against the father who left his seven-year-old son alone on Mount Fuji during a family hike.

Deb Sarkissian

The man had taken his two sons on the trip but left one behind when the child became tired. The boy was found safe several hours later by other hikers.

Chip Marlowe

We first reported that story earlier this afternoon. Prosecutors have now confirmed the timeline.

Deb Sarkissian
EX-WEST BROM MIDFIELDER DIES AT 25

And former West Bromwich Albion midfielder Quevin Castro has died at the age of twenty-five after collapsing during a friendly match in Portugal.

Deb Sarkissian

Castro was playing for Portimonense when he collapsed during the first half. Medical staff treated him on the pitch but he was pronounced dead at hospital.

Deb Sarkissian

The Portuguese Football Federation has opened an investigation.

Chip Marlowe

Twenty-five years old.

Deb Sarkissian

If you are watching on YouTube, a subscription helps us keep doing this. It is free for you and it means a great deal to a station this size.

Chip Marlowe
CARRICK STAYS CALM AFTER HULL LOSS

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick says he is remaining calm after his team's two to one loss to Hull City at Old Trafford this weekend.

Chip Marlowe

Carrick told reporters his side did not look ready but he is refusing to panic despite the shock result against the newly promoted side.

Deb Sarkissian

Hull City was just promoted to the Premier League.

Chip Marlowe

They were, yes.

Deb Sarkissian

So this is their first win at Old Trafford in seventeen years.

Chip Marlowe

That is a long time to wait.

Deb Sarkissian

It is.

Chip Marlowe

Still ahead this afternoon, Criminal Intent. A hairdresser in Detroit is back in court over that service dispute from March. We will have the latest on what happened in the preliminary hearing.

Deb Sarkissian

That is Criminal Intent, coming up in just a few minutes on KRAK 11 News.

CRIMINAL INTENT

Chip Marlowe

Good afternoon. I'm Chip Marlowe.

Deb Sarkissian

And I'm Deb Sarkissian. Welcome to the Blotter.

Chip Marlowe

We have four Florida Man Tributes this afternoon. None of them involve actual crimes, but all of them involve decisions that raise questions.

Deb Sarkissian

One hundred and one Tributes in forty-three weeks.

Chip Marlowe
LAKE YIELDS VINTAGE CONTRABAND

We begin this afternoon with North Carolina, back in June of last year. Authorities draining Lake Lure during Helene recovery efforts discovered what can only be described as an underwater crime scene of abandoned property.

Chip Marlowe

Among the discoveries: a nineteen-twenties Model T-style truck, condition unknown, and a thirty-two-foot wooden boat registered under the name Pooh Bear.

Deb Sarkissian
LAKE YIELDS VINTAGE CONTRABAND

They also found jewelry, cell phones, and what authorities described as long-lost family treasures.

Chip Marlowe

No charges have been filed. Investigators say most of the items appear to have been lost rather than deliberately submerged, though the truck remains a person of interest.

Deb Sarkissian

The truck is a vehicle, Chip.

Chip Marlowe
SURVEY: 3% CONFIDENT VS GRIZZLY

An uncooperative one. Next — another Tribute, this one from back in December. A survey asked Americans which animals they believed they could defeat in unarmed combat.

Chip Marlowe

Nearly three percent — that is three in every hundred respondents — said they were confident they could beat a grizzly bear with no weapons.

Deb Sarkissian
SURVEY: 3% CONFIDENT VS GRIZZLY

The survey did not ask respondents to prove it.

Chip Marlowe

A grizzly bear weighs eight hundred pounds and runs thirty-five miles per hour. The respondents were not asked to provide their own statistics.

Deb Sarkissian

Six percent said they could beat a gorilla. Eight percent believed they could take an elephant.

Chip Marlowe

The survey also found seventy-two percent believed they could defeat a rat, which strikes me as realistic until you meet the rat.

Deb Sarkissian
GEORGIA PURSUES WING LEGISLATION

From Georgia now — back in January, state lawmakers introduced a bill to designate lemon pepper as the official state chicken wing flavor.

Deb Sarkissian

House Bill ten-thirteen would make Georgia the first state in the union with an official wing designation. The bill has been referred to committee.

Chip Marlowe
GEORGIA PURSUES WING LEGISLATION

No word yet on whether the bill includes enforcement provisions or whether neighboring states plan to challenge Georgia's flavor sovereignty.

Deb Sarkissian

Lawmakers say the designation celebrates Atlanta's food culture. The vote is expected later this session.

Chip Marlowe

Still ahead this afternoon — Animals, where the sea urchin video continues its forty-seven-hour reign at the top of the KRAK eleven countdown.

Deb Sarkissian

Chip has now watched it fourteen times.

Chip Marlowe

I am conducting research.

Deb Sarkissian

Animals, in just a moment.

ANIMALS

Chip Marlowe

Deb Sarkissian

Deb Sarkissian

Coming up this afternoon, a quick look at sports, and Pete Crow-Armstrong has made it twenty-five in a row.
