A woman is being forced by court to return much of a $29,000 tip to the University of Notre Dame. According to The Associated Press, a clerical error changed what should have been $29.87 to $29,387. Sara Gaspar has agreed to pay back $17,000 to Notre Dame in $50 increments over the next 28 years.

Four teenagers have been charged for disorderly conduct after rapping their order to a Utah McDonalds drive-through microphone. According to MSNBC, police Sgt. Gregg Ludlow said, “It was not just that they were rapping, they continued to hold things up.” One of the parents of the teenagers has promised to fight the citation.

Raves:

The Associated Press has reported that a New Hampshire restaurant has created the world’s largest meatball. Matthew Mitnitsky, owner of Nonni’s Italian Eatery, made the 222.5-pound meatball. The meatball was weighed and confirmed by Guinness World Record officials Saturday night. The old record of 198.6 pounds was set about a month ago on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

According to MSNBC, a woman in Neilsville, Wis., reported herself to the cops that she was drunk driving. Mary Strey said to the dispatcher during the call, “I don’t want to hurt anybody; I’m drunk.” Her blood-alcohol level was double the legal limit when the police arrived to where she made the call.
