LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police say a hunter's trip home hit a snag in Las Vegas after security screeners found a dead cougar in his luggage. No crime was committed because the man had a hunting tag. But police Lt. David Gordon told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Transportation Security Administration agents held the man at McCarran International Airport late Tuesday to confirm the validity of the Utah hunting tag. His name and where he was headed weren't released. Airport spokeswoman Melissa Nunnery says the man ended up shipping the cougar carcass home, not on the airplane. Gordon says it's not a crime to transport legally possessed game on an airline flight. But he says airlines can refuse to transport certain items.

New York City Is Set To Record Its Lowest Crime Levels Since The 1950s
Watch VideoHomicides in New York City are at a record low. According to a New York Times report out Wednesday, 285 people were killed there this year. To give you some perspective, in 1990 more than 2,000 people were killed.The decline coincides with instructions by Mayor Bill de Blasio for police to cut down on deadly force, arrests and stop-and-frisk practices.
Crime has actually fallen in multiple categories. That puts New York City in line with 29 of America's other largest cities that are all expected to conclude the year with drops in crime.
*SEE MORE: Coroner Releases Las Vegas Shooting Victims' Cause Of Death*
It's not all good news though. Reports of rape in New York City have gone up toward the end of the year. Police attribute that to the recent string of sexual assault scandals which, combined with police efforts, may have encouraged more people to report rapes.
The numbers are preliminary, but New York City is set to break last year's record low number of murders and reach the lowest crime levels the city has seen since the 1950s. Reported by Newsy 18 minutes ago.
