Video of deputy barking like a dog to get teens to surrender goes viral
Body cam footage of a Washington State police officer has gone viral after he took an unconventional method to try and get a group of teenage suspects to surrender. The teenagers were suspected of stealing a car and had been chased on foot by authorities into the forest, after stop sticks had been used to deflate the car's tyres. So one deputy decided to try an unusual tactic in an effort to get the teenagers to surrender themselves. "Don't make us realease our K-9s," the officer can be heard shouting, before imitating the bark of a dog. The officer also yells "better stop", before continuing to bark, whilst his colleague reads a description of the suspects in the background. The teenagers eventually surrendered and walked out from the forest towards deputies before being placed under arrest. They told deputies they actually believed there was a dog and gave up as soon as they heard the barking. In a video posted to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department's Facebook, Sgt. Darren Moss Jr. said, "the kids actually believed there was a dog, and, in the end, they told the deputies, 'Man, soon as I heard that dog, I gave up.'" However, whilst it may have been believable to the four teenagers, people watching the clip had other opinions. In the comment section of a TikTok showing the body cam footage, people were shocked the teenagers fell for the deputy's trick: "It wasn't even believable," wrote one user. Another wrote: "I'm crying real tears rn please how did they believe this." "Imagine having to go to court and watch this back infant of everyone, I'd plead guilty asap," said one user. Users also compared the bark to the likes of Scooby Doo and Brian from Family Guy. No details about the suspects' identities or the charges they may face have been revealed.

Woman finds hidden room in her house full of creepy paintings
A woman has gone viral on TikTok for sharing a hidden room she found in her house. On October 23, TikTok user @bigbrah1 uploaded a video of her opening the door to the secret room she found in her house. The clip shows the walls painted in pink, green, and white. There were also butterfly drawings, hand prints, and paintings that looked as though they were drawn by children. Whilst you may already consider the above description to be creepy, what really freaked viewers out was the words "Love Shack" written on the wall. Many expressed their eerie feelings in the comments. One user wrote: "Absolute weirdest vibes... love shack? The feet?" "Is this adorable or terrifying?" Asked another. @bigbrah1 what do i do ? #horror#horrortok#hiddenroom#hiddenroominmyhouse#halloween#scary#90s#analoghorror#fyp#scarytiktoks Many others told the user to alert the authorities to see if there was something worth investigating. "The way I was smiling then immediately my face dropped and I became physically ill" a user commented, sharing the sentiments of most users. In an update video, the user shared that she had converted it into a storage room and thrown out the drawings that were found in the room. She did, however, share that that room could have only been for children, by attempting to stand up in the room and showing that she had to hunch. However, there has since been no further updates or explanations about the room. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
