Ring camera captured the hilarious moment a woman tripped over and “threw herself into the trash” in the front yard of her home in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, on Tuesday, November 10. Amanda Stoeser told Storyful the comical fall occurred during her morning yard work when she was transporting the trash can to fill it with leaves. “I was watching our puppy at the door and the bin got stuck, and when I went over the hump I ended up inside the bin and the doorbell camera caught it all,” Stoeser said. Ring footage shows her accidentally stepping on the open lid of the bin, causing it to become stuck and tripping her forward. “I actually thought it was hilarious and laughed about it. I was just glad I didn’t hit the edge of the lid. When I was little I was very clumsy and fell down all the time. My parents put me in dance to make me more graceful. Funny thing is I coach and teach dance,” Stoeser said.

The Grammy-nominated rapper Afroman won a defamation lawsuit filed by seven Ohio sheriff's deputies who sued him over music videos in which he used home security footage to mock their raid of his home. "We did it, America! Yeah, we did it! Freedom of speech! Right on! Right on!" the 51-year-old rapper, born Joseph Foreman, shouted outside the courthouse after the Wednesday evening verdict. He later posted the clip to social media. The case tested the limits of parody and the license artists can take in social commentary directed at public figures. The deputies, collectively, sought nearly $4 million in damages.

A quick-thinking homeowner avoided disaster when she took her electric wheelchair out to her driveway in Hollywood, Florida, where it exploded in a ball of flames in the early hours of Sunday, April 19, after emitting clicking sounds. Homeowner Alexandra Anaya bought the wheelchair at a thrift store and had charged the device with a non-manufacturer charger. Anaya told NBC Miami she woke up to a clicking noise coming from the wheelchair and realized the imminent danger after searching online for answers. “Instead of ignoring it, she immediately moved it outdoors where it exploded, saving her house and her family from catastrophe, and then called for help and that decision prevented a dangerous lithium battery fire,” Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety said, commending Anaya’s quick action in a post on Facebook. Video shared by the department shows the electric wheelchair exploding and erupting in a ball of flames.
