Man is fighting $24,000 dollar phone bill, after he lost his phone


A Shuswap, B.C., man is fighting a $24,000 bill after losing his cellphone while on vacation in Peru.
Alex Dobson, 18, told CBC News he didn't mean to bring his phone on an extended backpacking trip through South America with some friends last fall.
"When I went through airport security, I realized my cell phone was still in my pocket," Dobson said on Thursday. "And I thought, well, that's dumb, because I'm never going to use my cell phone, and I just threw it in the bottom of my backpack."
Then halfway through the trip, his backpack was stolen while on a bus in Peru.
"They pulled a fast one on me," he admits, but he didn't think about the phone until he arrived back home in the B.C. Interior in December.
"That's when we saw they had just been adding in these three-month-old charges, and so at that point it was a $13,000 bill," said Dobson. Apparently someone in Peru had been using the phone at $3.49 a minute, and Dobson was getting the bill. more

Man arrested on a misdemeanor false report, claim he was robbed at gun point


PALM CITY — A Palm City man was accused of fabricating an armed robbery last week to try to make his girlfriend feel bad for leaving him. He was arrested after deputies unraveled the ruse, according to recently released reports.
Derick A. Culberson, 22, initially told officials late Friday night that two men robbed him at gunpoint, the reports stated. He said the men took his vehicle GPS device and bound his hands and ankles before leaving in an older black Chevrolet Impala.
Investigators found Culberson, of the 1600 block of Southwest Sunset Trail, sitting next to his truck near Leighton Park, his ankles and wrists bound with plastic “zip ties.”
At least a dozen Martin County Sheriff’s deputies searched the area to find the supposed suspect vehicle. Culberson said the robbers wore black shirts, and one had dreadlocks and the other an afro. He described the weapon as a 9 mm or .40-caliber silver pistol, the reports stated.
Investigators, however, said they found inconsistencies in Culberson’s version of events and turned up zip ties in Culberson’s vehicle of the same type that bound his hands and feet.
Culberson eventually acknowledged making up the entire incident “in an attempt to make his girlfriend feel bad for leaving him,” reports states.
“Culberson admitted to tying his own hands and feet, and further inventing the suspects’ vehicle and weapon descriptions he gave to Sheriff’s Office dispatch and deputies,” reports state. more

Meter repairman arrested for stealing $170,000

Alexandria police say William J. Fell stole $170,000, in quarters and nickels and dimes. From his job as a parking meter repairman over about a year.
A supervisor became suspicious of Fell and began following him during his morning rounds, watching him steal the coins.
Alexandria officials called police, who hid a surveillance camera in his city truck. When police searched his Stafford County home last week. They hit the jackpot. They found much of the cash there -- in a bucket, in rolls and in a cup, court documents said.
Sgt. Shahram Fard said "It's pretty bold," , who oversees the city's property crimes unit, said yesterday. "I've never recovered that much money in a search warrant."
The 61-year-old city employee did it, police say, by going to work at 3 a.m., well before his shift started. He would jump in his city truck and, under the cover of darkness, empty into bags the contents of coin canisters from parking meters all over Old Town, according to court documents.
Then he would drive back to his personal car, stash the bags in his trunk and go about his normal workday fixing meters, a search warrant affidavit said.
By the time police caught up with him, his house looked a bit like a Las Vegas casino, documents show. There were coins in cups, coins in canisters, coins in a silver box. Police said they found paper money in a safe and in zip-lock bags. They also found the top of a parking meter in the house.
Fell, who worked for the city for 16 years before his promotion in June in the Department of Transportation and Environmental Services, faces two counts of embezzlement by a public officer and is being held at the city jail. He told an Alexandria judge that he needed a public defender because he did not have enough money to hire a lawyer. more

Cheerleader Coach Fired After Posing Nude


Ron Jones with CBS 13 in Sacramento has the story about a local woman who was fired from her job as a cheerleading coach after she turned up in Playboy magazine.

Man Jailed For Peeing On Woman On Plane

(AP) A 28-year-old man was sentenced to three weeks in prison for urinating on a 66-year-old woman during a Continental Airlines flight last month from Los Angeles to Honolulu, officials said Wednesday. Jerome Kenneth Kingzio, a resident of the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, was sentenced after pleading guilty Tuesday to an assault charge in U.S. District Court. The victim was headed to Hawaii on March 21 for a scuba diving vacation and was watching an in-flight movie when Kingzio stood up next to her aisle seat and began urinating on her midway through Continental Flight 3. She pushed Kingzio back and he continued to urinate, according to the FBI's criminal complaint. Kingzio, seated a row behind the woman, had been drinking on the flight and annoying other passengers. U.S. Attorney Edward Kubo Jr. said the woman reported that not only was her entire vacation ruined, but she continues to suffer emotionally from the incident. more

Somali Pirates Vow to Hunt Down, Kill Americans in Revenge


Pirates fired grenades and automatic weapons at the Liberty Sun, but its American crew successfully blockaded themselves inside the engine room. The ship was damaged in Tuesday's attack but escaped and was heading to Kenya under U.S. Navy guard.
A pirate whose gang attacked the aid ship admitted Wednesday that his group was targeting American ships and sailors.
"We will seek out the Americans and if we capture them we will slaughter them," said a 25-year-old pirate based in the Somali port of Harardhere who gave only his first name, Ismail.
"We will target their ships because we know their flags. Last night, an American-flagged ship escaped us by a whisker. We have showered them with rocket-propelled grenades," boasted Ismail, who did not take part in the attack on the Liberty Sun.
The move comes after U.S. Navy sharpshooters killed three pirates Sunday to win the release of a hijacked American sea captain, Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama.

The French forces, meanwhile, launched an early morning attack on a pirate ship after spotting it Tuesday with a surveillance helicopter and observing the pirates overnight. The raid thwarted the bandits' planned attack on the Liberian cargo ship Safmarine Asia, the French Defense Ministry said.
The statement called the pirate vessel a "mother ship" — usually a seized foreign ship that pirates use to transport speedboats far out to sea and resupply them. The ship was intercepted 550 miles (900 kilometers) east of the Kenyan city of Mombasa.
The 11 detained pirates were being held on the Nivose, a French frigate among the international fleet trying to protect shipping in the Gulf of Aden. France already is holding several pirates for prosecution.
Tuesday's attack on the Liberty Sun foiled the reunion between Phillips and the 19-man crew he saved with his heroism. Phillips had planned to meet his crew in Mombasa and fly home with them Wednesday, but was stuck on the USS Bainbridge when it was diverted to help the Liberty Sun.

U.S. Cargo Ship Evades Somali Pirate Attack
Maersk Crew Heads Home, Will Reunite With Captain in U.S.
The crew left without him, flying to Andrews Air Force base in Maryland in a chartered plane.
"We are very happy to be going home," crewman William Rios of New York City said before departing Wednesday. "(But) we are disappointed to not be reuniting with the captain in Mombasa. He is a very brave man."
Third mate Colin Wright, from Galveston, Texas told ABC's "Good Morning America" that fighting off pirates gave him a new appreciation for life.
"I'll just love to hug my mother," Wright said. "Everybody out there give your mother a hug. Yeah, don't wait. Life is precious. And what a beautiful world."
The Liberty Sun had left Houston with a crew of 20 American sailors and a load of aid for the U.N. World Food Program. It warded off the pirates with evasive maneuvers, according to U.S. Navy Lt. Nathan Christensen of the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet.
"We are under attack by pirates, we are being hit by rockets. Also bullets," Liberty Sun crewman Thomas Urbik, 26, wrote his mother in an e-mail. "We are barricaded in the engine room and so far no one is hurt. (A) rocket penetrated the bulkhead but the hole is small. Small fire, too, but put out."
By the time the Bainbridge arrived five hours later, the pirates had left. A small group of armed U.S. sailors from the Bainbridge went aboard the Liberty Sun to ensure its safe journey to Mombasa.
Despite President Barack Obama's vow to take action against the rise in banditry and the deaths of five pirates in French and U.S. hostage rescues, brigands have seized four vessels and more than 75 hostages since Sunday's dramatic rescue of Phillips. more

PORTSMOUTH — A woman who threw a pint of ice cream through a store window after a clerk refused to sell her beer was fined and given a suspended jail sentence Monday.

After Cahill left the store, the pint of ice cream was thrown through a plate glass store window, according to police.
DiLando said Cahill is on probation in Maine for drug convictions and according to her probation officer, has been “doing excellent.” According to court documents, Cahill’s case was delayed at her request while she was in a rehab program.
In exchange for her guilty plea, Judge Sawako Gardner sentenced Cahill to 60 days in the Rockingham County House of Corrections, with all of it suspended providing she remain of good behavior for one year.

Tampons (A TRUE STORY)

Tampons to the rescue in Iraq!! Don't worry, it's a good story, and worth reading. It's even humorous in parts. It's from the mother of a Marine in Iraq My son told me how wonderful the care packages we had sent them from the ladies auxiliary were and wanted me to tell everyone thank you..He said that one guy we'll call Marine X, got a female care package and everyone was giving him a hard time. My son said, 'Marine X got some really nice smelling lotion and everyone really likes it, so every time he goes to sleep they steal it from him', I told my son I was really sorry about the mistake, and if he wanted I would send Marine X another package. He told me not to worry about Marine X because every time I send something to him, he shares it with Marine X. He said when my husband and I sent the last care package, Marine X came over to his cot picked up the box, started fishing through it, and said, 'What'd we get this time?'But my son said they had the most fun with Marine X's package. He said he wasn't sure who it was supposed to go to, but the panties were size 20, and he said one of the guys got on top of the Humvee and jumped off with the panties over his head and yelled, 'Look at me, I'm an Airborne Ranger!!!!!One of the guys attached the panties to an antenna and it blew in the wind like a windsock. He said it entertained them for quite awhile. Then of course.......they had those tampons. When he brought this up, my imagination just went running, but he continued.My son said they had to go on a mission and Marine X wanted the Chap-Stick and lotion for the trip. He grabbed a bunch of the items from his care package and got in the Humvee. As luck would have it he grabbed the tampons too, and my son said everyone was teasing him about 'not forgetting his feminine hygiene products.' He said things went well for a while, then the convoy was ambushed and a Marine was shot. He said the wound was pretty clean, but it was deep. He said they were administering first aid but couldn't get the bleeding to slow down, and someone said, 'Hey! Use Marine X's tampons!' My son said they put the tampon in the wound. At this point my son profoundly told Me, 'Mom, did you know that tampons expand?' ('Well....yeah!') They successfully slowed the bleeding until the guy got better medical attention. When they went to check on him later, the surgeon told them, 'You guys saved his life. If you hadn't stopped that bleeding he would have bled to death.' My Son said, 'Mom, the tampons sent by the Marine Moms by mistake saved a Marine's life.' At this point I asked him, 'Well, what did you do with the rest of the tampons?' He said, 'Oh, we divided them up and we all have them in our flak jackets, and I kept two for our first aid kit.'I am absolutely amazed by the ingenuity of our Marines. I can't believe that something that started out as a mistake then turned into a joke, ended up saving someone's life. My sister said she doesn't believe in mistakes. She believes God had a plan all along. She believes that 'female care package' was sent to Marine X to save our Marine. Either way, our efforts have boosted the morale of many Marines, provided much needed items for our troops, AND saved the life of a Marine! God bless every one of you for your efforts and hard work, and God bless our Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force and all our military service personnel.

A fight over a dog urinating in the house caused the ambush of 3 policemen



PITTSBURGH — An emergency call that brought two police officers to a home where they were ambushed, and where a third was also killed later during a four-hour siege, was precipitated by a fight between the gunman and his mother over a dog urinating in the house.
The Saturday argument between Margaret and Richard Poplawski escalated to the point that she threatened to kick him out and she called police to do it, according to a 12-page criminal complaint and affidavit filed late Saturday.

When officers Paul Sciullo II and Stephen Mayhle arrived, Margaret Poplawski opened the door and told them to come in and take her 23-year-old son, apparently unaware he was standing behind her with a rifle, the affidavit said. Hearing gunshots, she spun around to see her son with the gun and ran to the basement.
"What the hell have you done?" she shouted.
The mother told police her son had been stockpiling guns and ammunition "because he believed that as a result of economic collapse, the police were no longer able to protect society," the affidavit said.
Friends have said Poplawski was concerned about his weapons being seized during Barack Obama's presidency, and friends said he owned several handguns and an AK-47 assault rifle. Police have not said, specifically, what weapons were used to kill the officers.

qas_writeAd();
Autopsies show Sciullo, 37, died of wounds to the head and torso. Mayhle, 29, was shot in the head.
A witness awakened by two gunshots told investigators of seeing the gunman standing in the home's front doorway and firing two to three shots into one officer who was already down. Sciullo was later found dead in the home's living room, and Mayhle near the front stoop, police said.
A third officer, Eric Kelly, 41, was killed as he arrived to assist the first two officers. Kelly was in uniform but on his way home when he responded and was gunned down in the street.
Kelly's radio call for help summoned other officers, including a police commando team. The ensuing standoff included a gun battle in which police say Richard Poplawski tried to kill other officers.

Saturday's slayings occurred just two weeks after four police officers were fatally shot in Oakland, California, in the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Poplawski is charged with three counts of criminal homicide and nine counts of attempted homicide — one each for the eight officers who were shot at in an armored police vehicle, plus a ninth who was shot in the hand as he tried to help Kelly.
Poplawski also was charged with possessing an instrument of crime: the bulletproof vest he wore during the gun battle. The criminal complaint does not say how Poplawski obtained the vest. more

Man robbed store with his 9 year old daughter


The nine year old daughter of the man who robbed an Ellensburg store was found safe today in California but her dad, who took the girl along for robbery, got away.
Police are still looking for 42-year old Robert Daniel Webb who led them on a high speed chase. Webb was identified as the suspect who robbed an AM-PM convenience store off I-90 near Ellensburg with his daughter in tow.
The father of a Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputy, who apparently knew Webb from his past, was asked to watch the girl last night while the father ran some errands. Later in the evening he learned that Webb was being sought by the local police in the town of Fortuna, California for drunk driving and possibly a robbery in Washington. The man checked around with the Fortuna Police Department and figured out that the young girl and her father were the same as those from the robbery.
Q13 Fox News caught up with the girl's mother at her apartment in Everett. She says she is happy her daughter was found safe but she is still concerned that her husband is on the run from police. more

The battle you must see!!!

Let me say that when I saw that this video was in black and white, I was thinking this is not going to beworth watching. You see the tiger kept initiating the battle with the snake. The unique thing about this snake is that he would not have started with the tiger and to take it a step farther the snake kept trying to get away. For in reality the smake could not eat the tiger because he was too big to eat! Now the battle was so interesting because the tiger had brought his A game when he first started attacking the snake.

Some where in his battle he let his guard down and to be honest when I saw the snake tighten his grip, I thought it was over! Let me say this that tiger and snake showed one thing and that is they both had heart... Although because the tiger had his mind set on snake for dinner, he left the snake with no other choice, killed or be killed... I think for certain that the next time that tiger attacks a python he may think twice!

Two traveling Angels

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die. "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied."When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it.""Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead.

Things aren't always what they seem. Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage.. You just might not know it until some time later...


Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people become friends and stay awhile.. leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts.. and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!! Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!I think this is special...live and savor every moment.. This is not a dress rehearsal!

Man leaning on balcomy falls 6 floors

ST. PETE BEACH — He wanted to show a woman afraid of heights that it was safe to lean over a sixth-floor hotel balcony.
Instead, David Senior, 26, of Joliet, Ill., fell four stories onto a second-floor concrete ledge Tuesday night.
Senior survived and was flown to Bayfront Medical Center, where he was in fair condition Wednesday.
The incident happened about 11:15 p.m. at the Grand Plaza Beach Hotel.
St. Pete Beach Fire Department operations commander Tom Malone said Senior is a fortunate man.
"Fall four floors and land on concrete, and live?" he pondered. "Yeah."
Senior was not a registered guest and "not a spring breaker," said James Kotsopoulos, president of Grand Plaza Resorts Inc., but had met the occupants of the room earlier Tuesday and was visiting with a group of women.
"From the conversation we had with people in the room, (Senior) wanted to impress the young ladies," Kotsopoulos said. "One was concerned about the height, so to sort of tease her he leaned back onto the rail and went over."
St. Pete Beach police Deputy Chief Dean Horianopoulos said that scenario was "certainly possible." He collected two differing accounts of what happened from people in Room 612. One had Senior sitting on the rail, facing toward the room and falling backward. The other had him holding onto the rail from the opposite side, falling back and landing outside Room 214.
"This guy is the luckiest guy in the world. There is no doubt about it," Horianopoulos said. "He's very fortunate he was not killed in this."
Horianopoulos said it appeared alcohol was a factor in the fall. Police also confirmed the integrity of the balcony rail.
Hotel guest Lori Hawkins was in a nearby room on the fourth floor when she heard someone yell: "Don't do it, don't do it."
"I heard this big 'Clump!' I didn't think it was something bad, then I looked out the corner of my hotel," she said. "I'm on the fourth floor and I saw this guy lying there and he started moving."
Hotel staff got onto the ledge — 36 feet below the balcony — through a guest room to keep Senior from falling again, Kotsopoulos said.
Hotel vice president of operations Roxann Vasalakis, who was summoned to the hotel after the fall, said the man was speaking to rescuers and trying to crawl.
Kotsopoulos said the company hasn't had a similar incident in 30 years. There were no complaints about activity in the room before the fall, he said. more

Couple arrested for locking 6 childers in U-Haul




A Pensacola man appeared in a Mississippi courtroom Wednesday to face charges that he and his girlfriend locked six children in the back of a U-Haul truck destined for California, authorities said.

A deputy pulled the couple over about 5 p.m. Monday on Interstate 10 near Gulfport, Miss., after a witness saw Feadora W. Brown, 34, and her boyfriend, Mario A. McGill, 22, load six children into the back of the moving van.
Brown said they left Pensacola about 1 p.m., the arrest report said.
Brown initially told the arresting deputy that they were driving to Houston, said Maj. Ron Pullen of the Harrison County Sheriff's Office. After further questioning, Brown said the couple were taking the children to their father's house in California, Pullen said.
The back of a moving truck isn't an ideal place for children, or anyone, to travel because of the lack of ventilation or air conditioning, Pullen said.
"They're not made for passengers," he said. "That's a cargo area, and there's no restraint system for seat belts, or seats at all."
The children were unharmed, Pullen said.
The couple have been charged with six counts of child endangerment. If convicted on each count, Brown and McGill face up to 36 years in jail and $6,000 in fines. more

Long island teacher rearrested for writing letters to male student


Long Island teacher's obsession with her former student has gotten her busted for a third time.
Heather Kennedy, 26, was sentenced on Friday to six months time served for bedding the 16-year-old boy last year - once having sex in his car in the parking lot at Wantagh High School, where she was his math teacher.
Early Saturday cops swooped in and rearrested Kennedy at her Massapequa home, accusing her of writing the teen from jail, a violation of an order of protection taken out against her.
Kennedy was arraigned Saturday and released on $15,000 bail. She now faces an additional year behind bars.
"This defendant disgraced not only her school, but her community and the entire teaching profession," said Nassau County Assistant District Attorney Jaime Johnson.
Kennedy sent three handwritten letters to the boy from August to December, prosecutors said.
Kennedy's lawyer, Steven Zimmerman, argued that authorities became aware of the letters months ago, but didn't act on them until Saturday.
Nassau County cops said they didn't learn of the letters until Friday night and made the arrest several hours later.
The former teacher, who is still on probation for the trysts, is no longer hot for student, Zimmerman said.
"Heather's taken responsibility for her actions," he said. "She said that the romance isn't a viable situation and she's moved on."
Kennedy was first arrested in March of last year after her young lover confessed that the two had had sex in the car. more

Robbery Suspect caught waiting for a pizza


BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Police arrested a woman suspected of robbing a small variety store in Maine.
Just after noon on Monday, 48-year-old Mary Gorsuch of Biddeford is believed to have entered Paul's Variety on Alfred Street and demanded money from the clerk, claiming she would "blow [the clerk's] head off" if she didn't comply.
The clerk gave Gorsuch several hundred dollars, and then watched her walk across the street to a pizza parlor. The clerk called 911, gave police a description of the suspect and told them she had just entered the pizza shop.
Officers found Gorsuch waiting for a pepperoni pizza she had ordered. She was taken into custody and charged with robbery.
Despite the suspect's threat, no weapon was located and there were no injuries. It is unclear whether a weapon was shown at anytime during the incident.
Gorsuch was already on federal probation for armed robbery of a banking institution in the Bangor area. Police expect that probation will be revoked.

White rats are solving mice problem


They have started using a pair of domesticated white rats to scare the mice away.

Rodents are a huge problem in India, consuming tonnes of grain intended for human consumption every year.


The experiment has now attracted the attention of animal experts, who think it could be a solution to the problem.


Despite all the modern weapons available to them, the police in Haryana had until now failed to combat the population of rodents feeding their way through official documents and other critical evidence.


The situation was particularly bad in the central district of Karnal, where armies of mice have, over the years, destroyed many court records.


"Innumerable rodents have invaded the Moharar Maalkhana [record room] and we have been helpless," said the senior superintendent of Karnal, Arshinder Singh Chawla.


"These rats or mice are voracious eaters and have chewed up vital papers, clothing and even the jute [rough fibre] sacks we normally use to store narcotics, illicit alcohol and weapons confiscated from criminals and crime scenes," he said.


But now, Mr Chawla and his men seem to have found an unlikely solution to their problem in a pair of albino relatives of the pest rodents.

Rodents eat their way through tonnes of food in India every year"About a month ago, a man from Ambala [a nearby town] suggested that we use domesticated white rats," the officer said.
Willing to try just about anything, the Karnal police purchased two white rats from a laboratory animals supplier for 200 rupees ($4; £3).


"It is working like magic," he said.
"My men have been releasing them in the Maalkhana every night and the pests have just disappeared.


"And the best part is that our guards don't touch the documents or the poppy husk, we keep them well fed on a diet of fresh milk and roti," said Mr Chawla. more

Watch you kids, please


This was a email I received from one of my associates, please read... It could save a life!


Yesterday, my youngest daughter, Halle, who is 4, was rushed to the emergency room by her father for being severely lethargic and incoherent. He was called to her school by the school secretary for being very VERY sick...' He told me that when he arrived, Halle was barely sitting in the chair. She couldn't hold her own head up and when he looked into her eyes, she couldn't focus them. He immediately scooped her up and rushed her to the ER, and then called me. When we got there, they ran blood test after blood test and did x-rays, every test imaginable. Her white blood cell count was normal, nothing was out of the ordinary.
The ER doctor told us that he had done everything that he could do so he was sending her to Saint Francis for further tests.. Right when we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher came to the ER and, after questioning Halle 's classmates, we found out that she had licked hand sanitizer off her hand.Hand sanitizer, of all things.But it makes sense. These days they have all kinds of different scents and when you have a curious child, they are going to put all kinds of things into their mouths. When we arrived at Saint Francis, we told the ER doctor there to check her blood alcohol level, and yes we did get weird looks, but they did it. The results showed her blood alcohol level was 85% -- six hours after we first took her. There's no telling what it would have been if we would have requested it at the first ER. Since then, her school and a few surrounding schools have taken this out of the classrooms of all the lower grade classes, but what's to stop middle and high schoolers from ingesting the stuff? After doing research on the Internet, we have found out that it only takes 3 squirts of the stuff to be fatal in a toddler. For her blood alcohol level to be so high was to compare someone her size to drinking something 120 proof. Please send this to everyone you know who has children or are going to be having children. It doesn't matter what age.

Man arrested for driving naked while on probation


ERWIN — On a videotape of a pursuit by the Tennessee Highway Patrol of a man fleeing in July at speeds of 130 mph, a law enforcement officer said it was clear why the man wasn’t interested in stopping: He was naked.
That incident landed Jason Chad Elliott, 30, 1290 Milligan Highway, Apt. 3, on probation for six years Friday in Unicoi County Criminal Court and might earn him some jail time. Judge Lynn Brown will make that ruling at a later hearing.
Elliott, who pleaded guilty to felony evading arrest and felony reckless endangerment charges, told Brown that his actions were a “rash decision.” Brown quoted the late Southern columnist Lewis Grizzard about different pronunciations of “naked.” One is not having one’s clothes on. The other is not having clothes “and you’re up to something.”
The July 8 events began about 11:30 p.m. when Trooper Julian Robinson pulled up behind Elliott’s car in the emergency lane on Interstate 26 at Exit 36. Elliott got off I-26 and drove through streets on Erwin’s north side before re-entering the interstate. He did not stop until he reached the Flag Pond exit 13 miles later.
Elliott admitted during the hearing that he drove 130 mph and passed two cars by using the emergency lane on the right. Unicoi County Sheriff’s Deputy Todd Wilcox, who joined the pursuit, said Elliott drove 98 mph in the emergency lane. Elliott got off I-26 at Exit 43 but immediately returned to the interstate. more

75 year old man tackles robber who stole his computer


STUART — A 75-year-old Stuart man chased down a 6-foot 1-inch, 230-pound, 29-year-old robber who had just snatched his laptop computer and printer on Sunday.
Joseph Kohl was standing in front of Best Buy at 2555 N. Federal Highway in Stuart at 12:13 p.m. waiting for his wife to pick him up at the curb. He placed his brand new laptop and printer down along the pillar where he was standing when the thief grabbed his items and tried to take off, said Kohl.
Without a second thought, Kohl ran about 8 feet before he grabbed the thief and tried to get back his packages, said Kohl.
“I have no idea what computers are about, but I didn’t want him taking my first one,” he said.
An off-duty Martin County Sheriff’s Office deputy, Don Kelly, was coming out of the store and jumped into the fray, said Sgt. Martin J. Jacobson of the Stuart Police Department.
“It was over in a minute,” said Kohl. “Having the off-duty cop there ended the situation right there. He showed his badge and the kid gave up.”
Both men were still fighting the suspect when Stuart Police arrived, Jacobson said.
“The police showed up in no time. It was like they were parked right around the corner,” said Kohl. more

DA: forced to Charge Boy Murder Suspect as an Adult



PITTSBURGH — A Pennsylvania prosecutor said his hands are tied, and he has no choice but to charge an 11-year-old boy as an adult in the killing his father's pregnant girlfriend.
Lawrence County District Attorney John Bongivengo said Monday that Pennsylvania law doesn't permit him to file a criminal homicide charge against Jordan Brown in juvenile court.
Brown is charged as an adult with using his own 20-gauge shotgun to kill 26-year-old Kenzie Marie Houk Friday morning.
The gun was a Christmas gift from the boy's father, who was training him to be a hunter, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.
Because he's charged as an adult, Brown is in the county jail -- albeit separated from adult inmates. His attorney, Dennis Elisco, says being locked up with adults is inappropriate for a child and will file motions Monday to move the case to juvenile court and to let the boy's father post bail so he can get out of jail.
"I don't think anybody wants him there," Elisco said, referring to the county jail.

Houk was eight months pregnant with Brown's father's child, and also had two daughters, 7 and 4, who lived in the rural home with the Browns where authorities said she was slain as she lay in bed about 8 a.m. Friday.
After the shooting, the boy hopped onto a school bus with Houk's oldest daughter, police said. He was picked up from school several hours later after some tree trimmers called 911 when Houk's youngest daughter told them she thought her mother was dead.
Elisco said a judge likely won't hear his motions right away. Until then, he hopes to get the fifth-grader's school to send him assignments in jail.
"I want him to be occupied and busy and back, essentially, in school," Elisco said. "I wouldn't say he's in good spirits. He's confused. He looks and acts like a typical 11-year-old."
Elisco said jail officials can't even find clothes to fit the 4-foot-8 boy.
Related Stories

"They put a shirt on him, he's swimming in it, and his pants are cuffed up about 10 times," Elisco said.
Lawrence County Warden Charles Adamo told the Associated Press on Sunday that he wanted to speak to a judge about moving the boy from an adult lockup to a juvenile detention center.
"I'm just going to speak to the judge [on Monday] because I don't have the facilities to accommodate somebody who's 11 years old," Adamo said.
Adamo said his 300-inmate jail cannot offer proper long-term care for Brown, of Wampum. more

Upstate Teacher Accused Of Inappropriate Relationship With Student


An upstate teacher is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student. Greenwood County Sheriff Tony Davis says 7th Grade teacher Angel Lindle is charged with having sex with a former student who was 14-years-old at the time.
Simmons was a Science Teacher at Edgewood Middle School in 1996. District Superintendent Dan Powell says Lindle has been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.
The county sheriff's office says a 37-year-old Angel Simmons Lindle of Donalds has been charged with seven counts of sexual conduct with a child.
Deputies said Lindle was having sex with one of her former students, a 15-year-old boy. Police said the encounters happened numerous times over a period of six months.
Investigators said they found out after someone called authorities to complain about the relationship. more

Drunk driver suspect killed by drunk driver


A Pasadena man charged last year in what authorities said was a fatal drunken driving wreck was killed this week, apparently by a drunken driver.
Nicholas Hernandez, 25, was a passenger in a black Ford Mustang that struck a light pole in the 9100 block of the Gulf Freeway service road and rolled several times Thursday. He was ejected from the car.
Police believe the driver, Jose Resendez, 27, was drinking and expect him to be charged with intoxication manslaughter.
If convicted of intoxication manslaughter, Resendez faces anything from two years’ probation up to 20 years in prison.
Harris County Assistant District Attorney Brent Mayr said Hernandez was arrested after the Aug. 3, wreck which killed James Kelleher, 26, and his passenger, 23-year-old Suzanne Penland, who were hit head-on as they drove south on Texas 288.
Mayr said Hernandez was driving a Chevrolet Impala the wrong way on the highway and had a blood alcohol concentration of .30, more than three times the legal limit, when he hit the two friends who were in a Buick LeSabre.
Hernandez was convicted of driving while intoxicated in 2002 and again in 2003. Because a third DWI would be a felony, Mayr said Hernandez was charged in last year’s wreck with felony murder, which carries a sentence ranging from probation to 99 years or life in prison. He had been released from jail on $100,000 bond. more

NY Mother Who Drowned 3 Kids Pleads Mentally Ill


A woman who drowned her three young children in a bathtub, and tried twice to commit suicide, entered a plea Monday that will send her to a psychiatric facility rather than prison, possibly for the rest of her life.
Leatrice Brewer, 28, pleaded "not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect" after psychiatrists determined she suffered a "major depressive disorder" and believed she killed the children to save them from the potentially fatal effects of voodoo.
The case drew attention to Nassau County's social services agency, whose caseworkers visited Brewer's apartment two days before the killings and found no one home, but neglected to schedule an immediate follow-up visit. Two social workers were later suspended.
Brewer faced three murder counts in the Feb. 24, 2008, deaths. She had told authorities she slashed 6-year-old daughter Jewell in the throat before drowning her, and then drowned the little girl's half-brothers: 5-year-old Michael Demesyeux and 18-month-old Innocent Demesyeux.


The plea did not sit well with the father of the two young boys, who is suing county officials over the deaths. Innocent Demesyeux said in a statement that Brewer's guilt or innocence "should be decided by regular people on a jury and not by lawyers and politicians."
But other relatives agreed that a mental hospital was the appropriate destination for the troubled woman. more

Grandmother just don't look like they used too?

Grandmothers just don't look like they used too!

When I was a kid and heard grandmother I thought of a older woman who was in her late fifty's early sixty's. They were settled and the main focus of their attention was their grandchildern. Their loving soul were filled with wisdom and understanding. They were church going folks who never did any wrong, except maybe cuss a little!



Now as an adult I am shocked at how grandmothers look today! Forget the vivid image of big mama and now lets drop the age limit down to early thirty's and try not to look too surprised!








I am sure the question would come up how can this be? Lets roll back the clock so to speak and see if you can visualuize this image of a young girl who was pregnant at 12 or had a baby at 12!



Now fast forward 18 years later and her son or daughter has just had a baby, wala!


Some guys did not like you looking at their mothers, now in society grand mothers are sexy fit and trim!








So how do you think guys feel when you are not only looking at their mother but also looking at their grandmother? With the intent to get with them?




The ability to be compasionate understanding and patient goes out the door when grandma has to rush out the door to go to work... The younger generation of grandma are not as dependable either, how can you ask them to sit at home and watch your kids when they are out trying to get their grove on and the last thing that they want to do is baby sit?


What makes the situation totally unique, is that when this woman is in her late 50's that she could be a great-grand?
I guess its not that hard to see that woman are not looking like grandma's at 30!!!








Yea, they are not looking like grandma's, anymore...
