MAN RESCUED AFTER BEING STUCK IN NM MUD FOR 3 DAYS ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A homeless man who was stuck in thick mud near the Rio Grande river in Albuquerque for three days was rescued Saturday after some high school students on a field trip heard him yelling for help, authorities said.
However, the man’s newfound free-dom wasn’t going to last. Police said he was wanted on a felony warrant, and they planned to arrest him after he was treated at a local hospital.
A group of La Cueva High School students and their biology teacher heard the man yelling Saturday morning from a marshy wetlands area in the Oxbow Open Space Pre-serve, the Albuquerque Fire Depart-ment and police officials said.
The students were in the area — about two miles north of Inter-state 40 in Albuquerque — doing a school project. They called authori-ties and told them that the man said he’d been stuck in the river for three days and could not move, according to a police report.
Fire crews and preserve officers re-sponded and found a “male subject stuck on a reed island about a hun-dred yards from the west bank of the river,” the report said.
Crews deployed an air boat and used a pulley system to lift the man from the mud and water, and up a hill.
Police later identified the man as Clayton Senn, a transient who’d been living near the river.
Authorities said they discovered a warrant for Senn’s arrest on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony. Senn was taken to an Albuquerque hospital for treat-ment and was to be booked on the warrant upon his release, police said.
Details on Senn’s condition were not immediately available.

NO TO LOVE: UZBEKISTAN NIXES VALENTINE’S DAY SHOWS ALMATY, Kazakhstan (AP) — Authorities in Uzbekistan are, appar-ently, unwilling to give love a chance.
The Russian news agency RIA-No-vosti cited several local media in the Central Asian nation reporting Tues-day that Uzbekistan has canceled concerts and other events for Valen-tine’s Day. Instead, residents in the
capital of Tashkent can enjoy read-ings of poems by Mughal emperor Babur, who died in the 16th century.
The unofficial ban on romance-re-lated festivities echoes long-standing antagonism in Uzbekistan toward the holiday. Last year, the Turkiston newspaper described Valentine’s Day as the work of “forces with evil goals
bent on putting an end to national values.”
Although most people across for-mer Soviet Central Asia are Muslim, many enjoy celebrating what is nom-inally a Christian feast.

POTTY-ROOM PILFERING: AUTO FLUSHERS STOLEN IN OHIO COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A restroom rip-off in central Ohio has automatic flushers disappearing from the bath-rooms at restaurants and other businesses.
Police say it’s been happening in at least a couple Columbus suburbs. Investigators don’t know if the thefts are related.
Handyman John Hahn tells WBNS-TV the flushers are
likely being stolen for scrap because they contain a metal called red brass that can bring $2.50 per pound.
He says safeguards are needed because the flushers can be costly to repair.
