A Connecticut school bus driver was busted for allegedly using his vehicle to deliver and pick up bags of heroin after dropping children off at the end of school days. Stratford Police arrested 29-year-old Garfield Howell following a months-long investigation in which surveillance footage reportedly showed him using the bus for drug transactions. Howell worked for We Transport, a charter bus company that transports students in the Bridgeport Public Schools district, and all the transactions were made after he dropped off his passengers. When police arrested Howell at his home in Stratford, they seized around 195 grams of heroin. Howell has been charged with sale of narcotics, conspiracy to sell narcotics, and risk of injury to a minor.

Police say that an Alabama man named Gary Bradley, who goes by “Tripp,” took money from a church's collection plate and deposited the funds into an account he controlled. Witnesses told police that Bradley went before Mayfair Church of Christ and announced he had been stealing from the offering plate. Church officials say Bradley has helped with collection during services. He's accused of taking thousands of dollars from the church and its members.

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
A man accused of streaking during an Ohio middle school girl’s lacrosse game and assaulting a trainer blamed “bad mushrooms” for his behavior while in court. Prior to running on the field, 20-year-old Melvin Williams broke into a home across the street and damaged four paintings and antiques worth up to $27,000. He then reportedly ran onto the lacrosse field in his boxers. Onlookers also said that he was noticeably bloodied up. Dash cam video of Williams’ arrest showed him struggling with officers as they tried to place him into their police car. Williams recently faced a judge on charges of assault and induced panic. That's when his attorney blamed “bad mushrooms” for the incident. The judge set a $50,000 bond in the case, which was posted that afternoon. (https://goo.gl/gsEKu7
