Two former girlfriends of married New York City endocrinologist Khaled Zeitoun recently sued him, citing “severe emotional distress,” according to a September New York Post story. Tiffany Wang claims in her suit that on her first date with Zeitoun he told her they had been married in a previous life, that he regretted mistreating her, and that he had spent his life searching for her to make amends. He later told her the devil had taken his soul 14 years earlier, that to get it back he had to agree never to marry, and that Wang was the first woman to make him regret the deal. He actually popped the question in May 2002, but Wang says he never intended to marry her and only wanted “to see the look of joy on her face.”

The Dominion Post of Wellington, New Zealand, reported in September the arrest of a recruit at Porirua’s Royal New Zealand Police College who ran his own fingerprints during protocol training and revealed an outstanding assault warrant. And in May, Laurie Ralston’s application for the position of dispatcher with the police department in Athens, Ohio, was scuttled when a background check revealed 17 traffic convictions and two outstanding warrants. Ralston was called in for an interview only to be arrested and charged with failure to appear in court and driving without a license.
