The officer shot the dog in the head and it ran to a nearby home , where the pot operation was discovered .

Police : Fake faxes freed hubby -- twice MADRID -- Spanish police say they have arrested a man who twice escaped from custody by having his wife send fake faxes ordering his release . Fifty-seven-year-old Jose Carlos Serna was taken into custody at his home in San Lorenzo del Escorial , a suburb north of Madrid , yesterday , while hiding in a hollowed-out sofa , police said . In December , he was in a cell at Arganda del Rey courthouse awaiting trial when officers got a fax purportedly from a regional court . It was followed by a phone call purportedly from a court official , corroborating the release order . Officers tried to verify the order , but their calls went unanswered . When a second call was received confirming Serna 's release , he was freed to a waiting taxi . Police said Serna used the same trick to escape from Valdemoro jail in October . Dead man 's vote stands in NY village election SYRACUSE , N.Y. -- The election was decided by one vote , and both sides agree that a dead man voted . But a judge in New York says the man 's absentee ballot can stand because it was n't challenged before it was counted . Arnold Ferguson , the father of a candidate running for village of Manlius trustee , had submitted an absentee ballot but died three weeks before the March 15 election in central New York . His rival , Marc Baum , had challenged the vote . Election officials admit the vote should n't have counted , but a state supreme court judge on Thursday ruled that any challenge had to happen before the ballot was removed from its envelope and counted . Baum , who lost the race by a single vote to Harold Hopkinson , says he 's through with politics for now . © Copyright 2011 Associated Press . All rights reserved .
