Man arrested after threatening Colorado campers with axe
A 36-year-old man was arrested last month on several charges after campers in southwestern Colorado discovered him rummaging through their belongings and were then threatened with an axe. Steven Sanguinetti was taken into custody by Saguache County sheriff's deputies who responded to calls to 9-1-1 on July 19. Two campers told the deputies they had confronted a man who was going through their campsite. That man left but watched them from a distance, per the sheriff's office. When the campers tried to leave in their vehicle, the man, later identified as Sanguinetti, approached them with an axe and began swinging it. Deputies found Sanguinetti a short time after arriving at the scene and took him into custody. Sanguinetti faces felony menacing, harassment, assault, and criminal impersonation charges. The incident happened at the Penitente Campground about 10 miles northeast of Del Norte. Sanguinetti was taken to the Rio Grande County Jail in Del Norte by Saguache deputies. Rio Grande County Sheriff Anne Robinson said Sanguinetti fought with detention deputies at the facility. He now faces felony charges in another case filed as a result of the altercation. Public records show Sanguinetti currently resides in Aurora.

New Zealand woman arrested after toddler found in suitcase on bus
Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Authorities in New Zealand have arrested a 27-year-old woman after a 2-year-old girl was found stuffed into a suitcase on a bus. The unidentified woman has been charged with ill-treatment or neglect of a child and was scheduled to appear in court on Monday. She was arrested on Sunday after police were called at about 12:50 a.m. local time when a passenger bus arrived at a planned stop in Kaiwaka, about 60 miles north of Auckland, and the driver noticed a bag moving in the luggage compartment. "When the driver opened the suitcase, they discovered the 2-year-old girl," Detective Inspector Simon Harrison said in a statement. "The little girl was reported to be very hot, but otherwise appeared physically unharmed." The child has since been transported to a hospital where she remains, undergoing what authorities called an extensive medical assessment. Authorities did not state the relationship between the woman and the child. "We would like to acknowledge and commend the bus driver, who noticed something wasn't right and took immediate action, preventing what could have been a far worse outcome," Harrison said. Oranga Tamariki, New Zealand's Ministry for Children, has been notified.
