Branson told deputies he found the grenade three or four years ago while cleaning out a veteran’s home and decided to keep it. He was unsure whether it was active, said Flagler County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Melissa Morreale. “He thought it was cool, so he kept it in his toolbox and was driving around with a grenade for quite some time,” Morreale told The Post. Along with the grenade, deputies found the life-size clown mannequin — as well as amounts of cocaine, marijuana and two pipes with suspected drug residue.

So I took the kids out to the mall to shop for Mom two days before Christmas. I want them to know that Christmas is not just about receiving but giving as well. Now let me ask a weird hypothetical. If I showed up at the Mall wearing only briefs and say my wife showed up in a minuscule bra and panties we'd likely be dragged from the premises and arrested. And rightly so, especially if you've seen me in briefs. But no matter what, it's bad, right? So why is it OK for some of these stores to have...

George Zimmerman's lawyer literally flipped a prosecution witness -- a gray, foam dummy -- to re-enact the defense's version of the confrontation that ended in the death of Trayvon Martin, straddling the mannequin and bashing its head against the floor as stunned jurors looked on Wednesday. The mannequin was initially introduced by prosecutor John Guy during cross-examination of defense witness Dennis Root, a former law enforcement officer who testified as an expert on defensive use of force. Guy used it to show how, if Martin were straddling Zimmerman, he would have had difficulty reaching for a gun holstered at his...

For those who already have the Obama hope poster, the McCain maverick button and the Joe the Plumber T-shirt, there is one more kitsch -– though more controversial -– item for the comprehensive 2008 presidential campaign collection: the Sarah Palin effigy that caused a bit of an uproar outside one West Hollywood home and prompted Keith Olbermann to name the homeowner “Worst Person in the World.” Chad Michael Morrisette, a professional window-display designer, and his partner, Mito Aviles, put the Palin mannequin up for auction on eBay last week, complete with red coat, beehive...

Greenfield - The alderman who insists upon keeping a mannequin in his City Hall office says he's the victim of a double standard, since the Fire Department keeps a mannequin and the police chief used to have three. The tiff - with its constitutional overtones - has landed Greenfield in the national news and doesn't appear over yet, despite the mayor's recent concession that Madeline - the mannequin - could stay if Ald. Thomas Pietrowski keeps his door shut at all times. Last fall, Mayor Timothy T. Seider asked Pietrowski to remove the mannequin, which is dressed in jeans and...
