28-year-old Ken Clay Fulbright of Mineral Wells, Texas was taken into custody on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and is also accused of trying to get rid of cocaine while handcuffed in the back of a patrol car. Earlier this week, a patrol officer observed a vehicle with the engine running stopped in a lane of traffic with a driver sitting inside eating a hamburger. According to a police report, the other men in the car were asleep. The officer questioned the driver, who was given a field sobriety test after the officer said he smelled alcohol. The suspect was taken into custody, handcuffed, and placed in the backseat of the patrol car. While in the patrol car, the suspect reached into his back pocket, got out his wallet, and took out a small clear plastic bag. He is accused of ripping open the bag and trying to get rid of a white substance, which was indeed cocaine. He faces charges of drug possession and driving while intoxicated, and also a charge of tampering with physical evidence.  (https://goo.gl/7RLJCZ)

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
A man trying to “smoke out” a woodchuck at Monmouth, Maine apple orchard caused a two-acre grass fire that prompted a response by local firefighters. Ed Pollard, an assistant fire chief in Monmouth, said an orchard employee named Ivan Campbell told authorities that the fire started after his attempt to remove a woodchuck from a hole in the ground went wrong. Campbell, who did not have a burning permit, lit some grass and stuffed it down into the woodchuck hole. The fire spread and was pushed down into the orchard. Pollard said he was left shaking his head when Campbell told him how the fire started. He said he wasn’t sure what the man’s plans were if and when the woodchuck came out of the hole.(https://goo.gl/fSaSXB)
