Three men in Chicago, Illinois were charged for allegedly selling laced pot
that can cause the eyes to uncontrollably bleed. The suspects —
Fouad Masoud, 48; Jad Allah, 44; and Adil Khan Mohammed, 44 — were
arrested after they sold the drug, known as K2, to undercover agents
at a convenience store where they are employed. Authorities said the
synthetic marijuana contained rat poison and was sealed in containers
labeled “Crazy Monkey” and “Matrix.” The Illinois Department
of Public Health issued a warning Monday revealing the drug has
caused at least 56 people to experience severe bleeding. Some
sickened by the drug were reportedly sent to the hospital with blood
coming from their ears, eyes and mouth. Experts said that emergency
rooms have only recently started seeing these symptoms of the
drug. All three men were charged with conspiring to distribute
and sell a controlled substance.(https://goo.gl/1WJ1VX)

A Springfield, Ohio man waiting for music practice at a Presbyterian Church had the cops called on him after someone mistook his bassoon for a weapon. Springfield police received a 911 call shortly after with concerns there was a man sitting on his car with a weapon. Police responded cautiously but quickly learned there was no weapon, just a musical instrument. Springfield police Chief Lee Graf said that although this incident was light-hearted, it’s a reminder that both citizens and police have a heightened awareness for the possibility of guns and violence.

MOMENT OF DUH:Brought To You By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
A decision by organizers of a Northwest Miami-Dade, Florida high school prom to include a caged tiger and other wild animals in the event was met with outrage and accusations of animal abuse. Some families were not happy when they heard about the inclusion of exotic creatures at the prom for Christopher Columbus High School students, which was held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Airport Hotel in Northwest Miami-Dade. Marie-Christine Castellanos told 7News she was shocked when her brother told her what he saw. She said, “This is an event to have fun and amusement, but is torturing an animal really considered amusement?” A spokesperson from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals released a statement that reads, “Wild animals belong in the wild. When they cannot be, they belong in reputable sanctuaries where the needs of the animals come first. They absolutely do not need to be in a party situation.” (https://goo.gl/TBCuYW)
