One of the Loomis & Fargo guards servicing the public ATM threatened to tackle Becker if he tried to leave the store—apparently snapping a photo of the inside of one of these machines constitutes a security threat (although detailed images and data can be found easily online). In fact, one of the arresting officers even pulled the 9/11 card:

Officer Debra Pelich (#5976)
Remember 9/11? I saw pictures of those buildings. One time when I was in Florida I was wandering around taking pictures. A security team came up and told me it was a high security restricted area. I wasn't supposed to be taking pictures there. I explained that I didn't know that, was a police officer, showed them my ID and complied with them. We cleared it up and I left.

Me (totally baffled)

Since you managed to pull the 9/11 card somehow, does that mean that everyone that took a picture of those buildings-

After spending around 30 minutes handcuffed in a cell and being unsuccessfully grilled about why he snapped the photo, Becker signed a REI trespassing form that instructed him not to come back to the store for a year. In the end, the authorities never asked to see the photo, much less for Becker to delete it from his iPhone. Naturally, this raises questions about the real motivation behind the incident. Was it just a power trip? Either way, with camera phones being so common these days, incidents of harassment like this one are bound to escalate. [iamshane via Crunchgear]

Alvarez's girlfriend, Christina Alvarado, had apparently woken him up after she had discovered her Girl Scout Cookies had gone missing. An angry—and very sleepy—Alvarez began verbally and physically attacking her until they ended up in the living room, where Alvarez pinned her down and proceeded to strangle her with the cord of a Wii controller. When his girlfriend was able to break free and call 911, Alvarez fled the scene but was quickly found and arrested soon after.

Alvarez has been charged with aggravated assault and is currently being held in a Travis County jail, with bail set at $40,000. If charged, Alvarez could be facing up to 20 years in prison.

Lessons learned? Girls: Don't bug your boyfriends when they're sleeping. Boys: Don't eat your girlfriend's cookies! Err, or at least don't strangle her after you've eaten them. [Kotaku]
