Wrong coke. A massive stash of cocaine worth more than $55 million was discovered hidden among bags in a Coca-Cola plant in Signes, France.

The 800 pounds of drugs were among items delivered from Costa Rica.

That bites. A correction officer in Lock Haven, Pa., was charged in the death of a police dog who succumbed after being left in a hot car.

Sgt. Chad Holland was charged with animal cruelty for the incident in July when a 2-year-old drug-detecting dog named Totti died after being left in a hot car for more than two hours.

More than 160,000 people signed an online petition urging authoritie­s to fire the officer after Totti’s death.

Kiss and shoot. A mom in Oklahoma shot a 31-year-old man because she caught him locking lips with her teenage daughter.

Valerie Fowler of Paoli was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after she shot the man in her 16-year-old daughter’s bedroom.

The predator was airlifted to the hospital with nonlife-threatenin­g injuries.

Free to Yelp. A Texas judge tossed a $1 million lawsuit brought by a pet-sitting biz that sued over a one-star Yelp review.

The owner of Prestigiou­s Pets in Plano claimed that the couple defamed him when they wrote a scathing review claiming the sitters overfed their fish.

The judge ruled that the couple was exercising their right of free speech.

Constructi­on workers in Iceland accidental­ly buried an “enchanted” rock while building a highway — and were forced to unearth the stone after facing the wrath of angry “elves.”

The elves are suspected of causing a series of misfortune­s, including floods and injuries, when the so-called “elfin lady stone” was covered with debris.

Elves are part of life in Iceland, and constructi­on sites are often moved to avoid them.
