Officials say a teen has been freed after spending more than three hours in the vault of an abandoned Florida bank.

News outlets report that Hollywood firefighters tried to drill through a wall to break into the vault last Wednesday afternoon after the 17-year-old's friend called 911.

But they were stymied until a worker at the bank's new branch across the street heard of the predicament. That worker remembered the code and was able to open the vault's massive door.

Officials say the two teens were exploring the vacant Bank of America building when one of them got stuck. Luckily, the other was on the outside and able to call for help.

The teens' parents were called and authorities released the boys to them. No charges were immediately reported.

A Florida woman faces an aggravated assault charge after authorities say she passed gas in line at a dollar store and pulled a knife on a man who complained about it.

Citing a Broward Sheriff's Office report, the Miami Herald reports that 37-year-old Shanetta Yvette Wilson passed gas while waiting in line at a Dollar General recently and upset a nearby customer. The report says the offended customer and Wilson then got into an argument "in reference to the defendant farting loudly."

It says Wilson then pulled a small folding knife out of her purse and told the victim she was going to "gut" him while moving as if to attack him. Wilson was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

It's unclear if she has a lawyer.
