A traffic stop in Texas yielded about two dozen embalmed heads. But it’s no Halloween joke. Investigators said the human heads had been used for medical training in the Fort Worth area and were being returned to Little Rock, Arkansas.

Hunt County Justice of the Peace Aaron Williams was summoned during a traffic stop Sunday in Royse City after a trucker was suspected of speeding.

“This is in the top five of the strangest things maybe the strangest that I’ve ever encountered,” Williams told The Dallas Morning News on Monday.

The wrapped-in-plastic heads were found in the trailer. The driver couldn’t immediately locate the documentation. The trucker and his cargo were later allowed to proceed after the paperwork was faxed to him.

The name of the company wasn’t immediately released.

Dogs shoot man on hunting trip

Mon Oct 29, 2:52 PM ET

A pack of hunting dogs shot an Iowa man as he went to retrieve a fallen pheasant, authorities said.

James Harris, 37, was shot in the leg while hunting with some friends on Saturday afternoon.

The group shot a bird which landed on the other side of a fence, the Iowa Department of Natural Resource said in a press release.

“Harris reportedly went to retrieve the bird, placed his gun on the ground and crossed the fence near the muzzle end,” the press release said.

“When he crossed the fence, hunting dogs stepped on the gun, which discharged and struck Harris in the left calf at a distance of roughly three feet.”

Harris was treated at a regional medical center and later transported by helicopter to an Iowa City hospital.
