Rep. Jud McMillin, a rising star in the state's Republican Party, abruptly resigned Tuesday. The Indianapolis Star has learned that the surprise resignation came after a sexually explicit video was sent via text message from McMillin's cell phone. It's unclear who sent the text or how broadly it was distributed. The Brookville Republican sent a separate text message apologizing to his contacts for "anything offensive" they may have received after he said he lost control of his cell phone. McMillin, whose Facebook page says he is married, did not respond to messages from The Star seeking comment. He said in an emailed statement only that he has "decided the time is right for me to pass the torch and spend more time with my family."

A man was who needed to blow into a breathalyzer to start his car was too drunk in order to do so. What he did next is almost unbelievable. He found a raccoon going through the garbage, captured it and then used the raccoon to blow into the breathalyzer. According to a report that was shared on Imgur, the raccoon became unconscious so the man left the raccoon in the car and drove off. A short time after the raccoon woke up and started to attack the driver. [...] He did not stop driving, however, and so he crashed into a residential fence. The vehicle then apparently ‘came to a stop’ in a swimming pool.
