Handgun found in package of frozen meat
ROSWELL, N.M. (UPI) -- Authorities in New Mexico and Colorado said
they are trying to find the origins of a gun and ammunition packet
discovered in a package of frozen meat.
Police in Roswell, N.M., said a worker at a local Albertsons store discovered the Rock Island Armory .38 Super and ammunition Wednesday in a case of frozen ribs originating from the Swift Packing Plant in Greeley, Colo., KRQE-TV, Albuquerque, reported Monday.
"We could speculate on a lot of things," Sgt. Jim Preston said. It could have been someone just dropped it there, or it could have been something that someone put it there trying to hide it for 100 different reasons.
Greeley police said they are looking into whether the gun may have been involved in any local crimes in 2011 when the meat was packaged.

Festivus pole added to nativity scene
DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. (UPI) -- This year, a Nativity scene in
Deerfield Beach, Fla., features a "Festivus pole" made of Pabst Blue
Ribbon beer cans, as well as a Menorah.
The pole, a reference to the Dec. 23 atheist "holiday" that became a pop culture hit after being featured in a Seinfeld episode, was installed Thursday by activist blogger Chaz Stevens, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.
Stevens said he had been trying to get the city to remove the Nativity scene for five years, and this year he decided to ask for space to express his own beliefs.
"It's just 23 beer cans stacked 8 feet high and conveniently located 6 feet from Baby Jesus," said Stevens.
"Think of how many people have died over the years to give us our freedoms," Stevens said. So I've got to push back a little.
