DEPUTY SHOOTS BANDERA COUNTY JAILER AFTER OFFICE PRANK GOES WRONG
A jailer was shot early Sunday at a Bandera County (Texas) facility, the sheriff's office reported.
Around 5 a.m., two dispatchers at a new jail facility on Highway 173 reportedly heard noise coming from a nearby hallway. They investigated the scene and found nothing.
But, when they heard the noise again, they feared that someone was inside the facility. They asked a deputy to check out the scene, which he did. Officials say Deputy A.J. Griffin had his gun at his side.
Jailer David Spangler -- thinking that the dispatchers had returned, and hoping to play a prank on them -- jumped out from behind a wall. At which point Griffin became startled and fired his weapon, striking the guard.
The bullet from Griffin's gun went through a bone in Spangler's leg. Officials say that once Deputy Griffin realized what had happened, he attempted to administer first aid to the jailer.
Spangler was taken to Wilford Hall, where he underwent one operation, and is currently awaiting a second.
Officials tell KENS 5 they are awaiting Spangler's recovery before they decide whether or not to reprimand the deputy. The Texas Rangers are currently investigating the incident.
BOWLING FOR $4,000

POLK UNDERCOVER DRUG INVESTIGATORS PLAY Wii DURING RAID
With guns drawn and flashlights cutting through darkened rooms, Polk County (Florida) undercover drug investigators stormed the home of convicted drug dealer Michael Difalco near Lakeland in March.
As investigators searched the home for drugs, some drug task force members found other ways to occupy their time. Within 20 minutes of entering Difalco's house, some of the investigators found a Wii video bowling game and began bowling frame after frame.
While some detectives hauled out evidence such as flat screen televisions and shotguns, others threw strikes, gutter balls and worked on picking up spares.
A Polk County sheriff's detective cataloging evidence repeatedly put down her work and picked up a Wii remote to bowl. When she hit two strikes in a row, she raised her arms above her head, jumping and kicking.
While a female detective lifted a nearby couch looking for evidence, another sheriff's detective focused on pin action.
But detectives with the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the Auburndale, Lakeland and Winter Haven police departments did not know that a wireless security camera connected to a computer inside Difalco's home was recording their activity.
The recording obtained by News Channel 8 showed several members of the county's High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) task force entering the house shortly after 8 a.m. According to the search warrant, their mission was to search for drugs, stolen property and the fruits of any illegal drug activity.
According to sheriff's office records, 13 detectives and three sergeants spent nine hours searching Difalco's property, for drugs, stolen property and signs of any illegal drug activity.
The raid cost taxpayers more than $4,000.
