Canadian police had no trouble finding the guy who smuggled seven migrants across their border — the suspect turned out to be the owner of a Washington state bed-and-breakfast called the Smuggler’s Inn.
The innkeeper, whose hotel overlooks an unfenced part of the US-Canada border, was sentenced last week to jail time served and probation.

Bambi nearly got booked. A deer was captured by North Carolina police after it broke into the Transylvania County Courthouse and caused chaos.
