When the blushing bride of Mohammed Ahmed reported him missing while on their honeymoon she probably would never have guessed where he was - in police custody after allegedly meeting a hooker. The 21-year-old from Illinois was arrested in a prostitution sweep by the Polk County Sheriff's Office in Florida last week. He was in Orlando celebrating his nuptials when he arrested after arriving at an undercover location to meet what he thought was a prostitute. According to investigators, Mohammed answered an online ad posted by an undercover detective posing as a hooker. When he did not return to his bride at the Omni Hotel, she called police to report him missing. Polk County Sheriff's undercover detectives conducted a four day-long investigation targeting online e-commerce sites related to men and women who were advertising to commit prostitution and who were soliciting others for prostitution.

PARK AND SLIDE: FAMILY PARKS CAR ON SKI PISTE A Kuwaiti tourist who wanted to show his children snow for the first time slipped up when he drove his luxury hire car straight onto a ski piste. Baffled skiers found the stranded top-of-the-range BMW 7 series abandoned in the middle of the slope at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Police eventually tracked it down to a wealthy family of five from the desert kingdom Kuwait visiting the resort on a day trip from Munich. "The father wanted to show his children snow, which they had never seen before," said a police spokesman. "Unfortunately he drove as far as he could up a forest footpath and then lost control and slid sideways onto the piste," "It is a miracle that no damage was done. If it had entered the piste just a few minutes earlier the car would have slipped right down the slope as it was much steeper. The car would have lost grip and slid out of control and the consequences would have been much worse," "They are very lucky that they managed to escape without injury. It was a very thoughtless thing to do. The drivers actions put his family's lives at risk and endangered other skiers." he added. Officials say the family will be charged the full cost of the 3,000 GBP rescue by firefighters. (ends)
