Sparkplug is back home where he will be safe for the winter

Daniel Ahrens, 60, who owns Georgia Boy’s Bar-B-Que, was arrested for simple battery and booked into the Pinellas County Jail on Tuesday.

Birmingham City Council said about 25 kits had been given out by mistake in the student area of Selly Oak as part of its “drop-and-collect” service.

As the deputies responded, they each hit the body of the pedestrian, who was still in the middle of the road, officials said.  The Florida Highway Patrol said the pedestrian had already been killed in the first collision.
