ARLINGTON, Va. (WKRG) — A man in Virginia might be the luckiest break-in victim in America. After returning from a trip, the guy noticed someone had been in his apartment. But here’s where things get weird. Nothing was missing, but someone had cleaned his apartment. The crime — although some might contend this wasn’t a crime but a blessing — was reported early Monday morning . Here’s how it was entered on Arlington County’s daily crime report website : UNLAWFUL ENTRY,  2017-08080001, 1500 block of Clarendon Boulevard. At approximately 12:03 a.m. on August 7, police were dispatched to the report of suspicious circumstances. A resident returning home from a trip discovered their apartment had been cleaned and items moved around but nothing appeared to be missing. There is no suspect description. The man assured police that he didn’t have a maid or anything. So for now, this “unlawful cleaning” remains a mystery. Share this: Related Posts Advertisement

It's been a tough offseason in Gainesville, and even more bad news hit the Florida football program this week. Wide receiver James Robinson and linebacker Ventrell Miller were cited with misdemeanor marijuana possession on Monday, First Coast News reported Thursday afternoon. The two players were inside their off- campus apartment early Monday morning when a residential assistant smelled marijuana and notified University of Florida police .  "Coach (Jim) McElwain is aware and it has been dealt with," a team spokesman told Thomas Goldkamp of 247Sports. Robinson, a 6-foot-4, 205- pound true freshman and former 4-star prospect from Lakeland, Florida, is expected to be a contributor in a Gator wide receiving corps that could use his length to create opportunities downfield in a passing game that has been stagnant for the better part of a decade. With star Antonio Callaway suspended for the season opener, the stage was set for Robinson to become an instant star at ...
