A man from north Wales has been fined $330 (£250) by American police after he swam across the Hoover Dam on a stag do, apparently making himself the first person to make it across the reservoir alive. Arron Hughes, a 28-year-old forklift driver, had reportedly been partying for 37 hours in Nevada when he decided to jump into the water and swim across it.
“It was around 45-40 degrees outside and we were on a stag do in Vegas. You go to Vegas to have fun, don’t you? We made The Hangover look tame,” he told the Daily Post. “We were all just standing there, and I thought, f*** it! I’m going for a swim.”

Mr Hughes said his friends cheered him on as he swam across the Colorado River, which borders the states of Nevada and Arizona. He said the swim took around 30 minutes but admitted he felt “knackered” half way across, but knew he had to make it to the other side as he could feel the water pulling him towards the dam.“I was sucked towards the wall and had to swim hard. At the other side I was exhausted. Then I heard police shout,”

He was handcuffed and arrested by Nevada police after making it across the water in front of the 726ft structure, and fined $330 (£250) for “jumping, diving, swimming from dam’s spillways or other structures”. The forklift driver is only thought to have survived as nine of the dam’s 10 turbines were switched off at the time. “One officer said, ‘In my whole lifetime I’ve never seen or heard of anyone doing it’,” Mr Hughes told MailOnline, while admitting his decision to go for a swim had been “fuelled by drink”.

Some 275 people have reportedly died at the site in the last 10 years.

“I don’t have any regrets,” Mr Hughes told the BBC. “I even have a tattoo saying ‘no regrets,’ that’s the type of person I am.”

Father unveils the sex robot he lets sit on the sofa with his children and join him in bed with his WIFE on This Morning (leaving Phillip Schofield to ask if it’s like sleeping with a Sat Nav)

  • Arran Squire created 'Samantha' - a fully-functioning robot he can have sex with
  • Asked This Morning presenters if they thought the realistic doll was 'beautiful'
  • Both Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield appeared horrified by Samantha
  • Arran's wife said she was happy with the doll and it was a 'part of their family'
  • The creator of the doll says it does not 'replace women' it's to 'help people'
A man who spent £3,500 creating a hyper-realistic sex robot that joins him and his wife in bed has said she is part of the family - so much so that 'Samantha' even joins the couple and their children on the sofa.

Arran Squire, 36, from North Wales, brought his robot along for it's debut on ITV's This Morning on Tuesday, and her presence both amused and horrified presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

Phillip warned viewers to switch off if there were young children watching, before playing a recording of some of the ardent responses the robot is designed to make on cue.

Joking it would be like 'making love to a car GPS', Phil went on to say he had touched the doll and it was so cold 'it felt like a corpse'.

Holly was shocked to learn that Arran allowed his children to see the doll, having assumed he would keep Samantha hidden.

Arran, who is a co-founder of Synthea Amatus, a website that sells lifelike sex robots that start from £2,000, explained that she has a 'family mode', which prevents her making any inappropriate comments at the wrong moment

I'm all for that. But we must keep a few frenchies as prisoners to make the cheese for us.
