In April this year, a group of friends checked into a hotel in Jönköping. According to the staff, the gang must have been intoxicated and behaved “unpleasantly”.
After that, one of the men, who is 45 years old, put on a police shirt and went out into the street in front of the hotel. There he must have started directing traffic, reports P4 Jönköping.
The staff then called the police and now the man is charged with impersonation of a public position.
In questioning, he has stated that he put on the police shirt as “a fun thing”, but denies any crime.

Of the 15-year-olds surveyed who had sex, an average of 35 percent used a condom on the last occasion, writes FHM.
A decade ago, 80 percent of 15-year-olds answered that they had used a condom during the last intercourse.
The result comes from the authority’s study “School children’s health habits in Sweden 2021/2022”.
42,000 students aged 11, 13 and 15 have answered the questions. It is the tenth time that the study has been carried out. The first was made in 1985.

The family tried to get the man to leave the home, but he refused.
– There will be a small fight, but the man is otherwise not violent. They hold him down and he tries to break free but he can’t. The police come and he is taken into custody, says Caroline Karlsson.
The man is suspected of trespassing.

The train must be stationary and the car a little further away.
The extent of the damage is unclear.
Three out of four passengers are out of the car. One person is trapped.
There is no forecast for how long the train will be stationary.

The killer whale that was found dead in Hunnebostrand on Thursday has been transported to a recycling center in Lysekil where it is now being autopsied, reports Bohusläningen.
The reason the almost three-ton whale turned up at a recycling center is because it is too big for other businesses.
– It has very worn teeth and has probably had pain and difficulty finding food, Norbert van de Velde tells the newspaper.
It is still unclear what happens to the orca after the autopsy.
– The head should perhaps be shipped to the National Museum of Natural History in Stockholm, but I don’t know how and when and what happens there, says Norbert van de Velde to Bohusläningen.

The newspaper writes that the municipality has issued information that the waste water should not “involve other negative effects apart from odor in the immediate area”.

What happened to the elderly man who refused to move his car after having his tires punctured by mats of nails last winter?
Anna
Hi Anna!
The last I read about him was in The Wermlands newspaper in November.
Then he would buy a new car after living in the old one for two weeks. He then said that he intended to lift the broken car into the air and leave it at the scene.
He also told us at Aftonbladet that he would register the old car at the National Police Board.

Hello! According to the organization Keep Sweden Clean, it takes approximately 1-5 years for a discarded cigarette butt to decompose into microplastic.
“Microplastic can take 100 years before it disappears, if it even does,” they also write.
Why is only one of the spy brothers named and pictured?

Hello! Both are named in the article. Why we only have one picture of Payam Kia is because the article is about him.

Hello, May 17th today. Does it show on the editorial staff’s lunch boxes?
Magnus
It’s not lunch yet, but haven’t heard anything about the May 17 special in the lunchbox yet. Norwegians eat an average of four sausages per person on May 17, according to a press release from SAS . So if you want to pay tribute to Norway, a sausage with bread can be a suitable way!
