man found something a little fishy while out on the ocean off the
Florida coast. No, it wasn't fish. Photographer Jorge Bustamante
posted a photo to Instagram showing
his unique discovery -- a floating brick of marijuana. "Got an
early birthday gift from Pablo Escobar..." he joked. Bustamante
said he found the pot floating in the weed line along with some mahi
and kingfish Monday morning while out fishing near Pompano Beach,
which is located north of Fort Lauderdale. According to the Sun
Sentinel, Bustamante
notified the Coast Guard and said personnel arrived on scene,
confirmed it was indeed marijuana, and it was then turned over to the
agency. It's unknown at this time where the estimated kilogram
of pot came from or how long it had been in the ocean. He called
it "a trip we won't forget for a long time." wate.com

Police
in Bow and Concord, two separate towns located in New Hampshire, said
they arrested the same man hours apart on charges of driving under
the influence. 33-year-old Benjamin Benoit was arrested last Thursday
afternoon after police received a report of a person at a Bow gas
station falling asleep in the driver's seat of a car. Benoit was
arrested again early Friday morning in Concord after another report
was made about a person passed out in a vehicle at a gas station.
Concord police said the car Benoit was in was stolen from the owner's
place of employment in Pembroke. Benoit is facing multiple charges,
including driving under the influence, possession of a controlled
substance, and possession of stolen property. He is scheduled to
appear in Merrimack County Superior Court on the Bow charges on July
5 and on the Concord charges on July 12.

Knoxville
firefighters say distracted drivers force them to move slower while
responding to calls and it puts first responders in danger. They
say people driving while on their phones or listening to music too
loud do not see fire trucks coming. "It’s
not only dangerous for us, it’s dangerous for the people texting
because if we can’t get stopped and we do have an accident, our
truck is a lot bigger, heavier, we’re going to cause some damage to
their vehicle," said Patricia Perrin, a firefighter and
paramedic with the Knoxville Fire Department. The
firefighters experience the close calls every day, even with their
lights and sirens on. "We’re
trying to get to help other people and, in turn, if people are not
paying attention to us or what they’re doing and we get in an
accident, then we could hurt somebody on the way." 10
News tagged along with the team at Knoxville Fire Station 20. Within
the first five minutes responding to a fire alarm, we had a close
call with a driver who seemed to not even notice the truck, the
lights, or the siren. "You
have to watch the intersection before you get to it. You can tell
from a hundred yards away that they’re not going to stop,"
said John Stoehr a firefighter with the Knoxville Fire Department. "I
pay close attention to people who aren't paying attention." The
trucks are equipped with sirens, lights, and horns to help warn
drivers they are coming. A
new system sends low frequency waves that vibrate cars and may help
get the attention of distracted drivers. All of KFD’s new trucks
have that system on board. "Every
car in an intersection will notice that we’re coming and there’ll
be this one car that doesn't. They’re just distracted," said
Stoehr. As
they race to fires, overdoses, and everything in between, every
second counts. Safety,
for everyone, is the number one priority. "If
we’re going to a house fire, those grow and double with every
second that we’re not there," said Perrin.

Police officers often say there's no such thing as a routine traffic stop. While officers often encounter unexpected dangers when they approach a driver on the side of the road, they sometimes encounter unexpected humor, as well. That's what happened to Greene County Sheriff's Deputy Tommy Connell on a recent episode of the A&E television series "Live PD." Connell stopped a man for not using a turn signal and having expired tags on the June 16 episode of the show that embeds cameramen with police departments across the country during nighttime patrol. After Connell approached the man and searched him for weapons, the deputy noticed a string attached to the man's windshield wipers that ran inside the vehicle. "What is that?" Connell asked. The man, whose face was blurred on the broadcast, said his windshield wiper motor was not working, so he tied a string to the wiper blades and was able to pull them back and forth as he drove. Connell asked for a demonstration, and the man happily climbed back into the car and showed off his technique.

"Very innovative," Connell
remarked. The deputy, evidently impressed with the man's ingenuity,
let the man go with a warning and instructions to fix his wipers and
get his vehicle registered. Afterward, Connell told the camera he
liked the man's style but it was not a long-term solution. "I
was pretty impressed how he MacGyvered it up," Connell said.
"We let him go with a warning on it, but it's not proper for him to be doing it that way."

A weird metal object that washed up on a beach in North Carolina has left both residents and officials stumped. The odd debris first appeared along the shore of the town of Corolla at the start of the year following a series of winter storms. It subsequently sat in the sand for the next six months or so, seemingly without anyone really paying much attention to it.
However with summer now in full bloom and the popular tourist destination welcoming a number of visitors to the area, the strange object has captured the attention and imagination of the community. The enigmatic piece sports a solar-powered light, which amazingly still works, extending from a pole near the center of the object. Aside from that detail, there is little about the object that indicates where it came for or what it purpose may have been. As one can imagine, speculation about the nature of the object has run the gamut of possibilities. Some have proposed a prosaic explanation, such as that it is simply a mundane piece of equipment from a ship or perhaps a buoy, while others have offered more fantastic suggestions, including that it came from Russia or even outer space. There are even a few who have noted that what we are seeing could merely be a glimpse of something much larger that is buried on the beach. According to one local website, a spokesperson for the National Park Service has conceded that they "don't know what the object is." Meanwhile, a different media outlet determined that neither the Navy nor the Army Corp of Engineers have taken ownership of the orphaned object. And its position in the sand has made removing the object, should someone step up to do so, a particularly difficult task. To that end, with tourists expected to swarm the area over the next few months, the community may, at this point, be less concerned about the mystery surrounding the object and more worried about getting rid of it. Alas, until someone steps forward to claim the object, they just may be stuck with it. Do you have a guess as to what the piece may be?https://www.coasttocoastam.com/amp/article/odd-object-appears-on-nc-beach/?__twitter_impression=true

Churlish
(CHUR-lish)
Adjective:
-Rude, vulgar or boorish.
The word used to mean, simply, a peasant. And before that, (in Old Norse, as 'karl') it just meant 'a man.' Interestingly, this is the root word from which we derive the name Carl, Charles and Caroline.
Used in a sentence:
“If you don’t stop acting so churlish, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

Kevin
Louis rides his bike all of the time. What happened to him around 4
a.m. last Tuesday morning near Gentilly Boulevard and Elysian Fields
last Tuesday caught him by surprise. "I
see the police officer in the Rite Aid parking lot, so I pass him and
I come to this side right here on Gentilly and I'm biking this way
going there," Louis said. The
officers threw on their lights and told him he was riding down the
wrong way. According to Louis, they asked him why he didn't have any
lights and for his bike registration. When Louis told him he didn't
have any, they gave him a ticket. "He
said if you get you some lights and registration, when you go to
court, the ticket should be reduced or dropped," Louis said.
Louis
says the next day, he looked at the cost of the ticket and was
shocked to see that we have given four offenses totaling nearly
$1,000. "Once
I saw that it was $920, I was like whoa," Louis said. NOPD
charged him with "improper lane usage, traffic laws apply to
person riding bicycles, bicycle equipment, and bicycle registration
required." "That's
more than my rent. That's more than a number of different things,"
Louis said. "I
think the police has a lot of discretion in terms of issuing a
citation," Charlie Thomas, Louis' attorney said. Thomas
works with the firm Huber, Thomas and Marcelle. They are statewide
attorneys for bike law. He is calling the prices for these citations
outrageous and believes there is no use registration ordinance in the
city. "Even
though NOPD might have your bicycle information on file, we're
unaware of any circumstance where this has led to the recovery of a
stolen bike or really any sort of benefit," Thomas said. Eyewitness
News reached out to the NOPD, which says it is their role to enforce
existing laws. A spokesperson also says bicyclists can and will be
cited if they're found violating any laws. Louis
says he did get a phone call from the NOPD and an email from Mayor
LaToya Cantrell. Louis says he realizes he was going the
wrong way. "I'm
willing to pay a fine for that. But $300!? Twice too! It feels like
I'm being extorted. I thought that was super excessive." The
NOPD also says the City council unanimously passed the biking
ordinance last year. The NOPD arguing they are merely enforcing the
laws that are currently on the books. The NOPD also says there are
several places you can properly register your bikes across the city.
MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
A
woman in Ellis County is seeking $1 million in damages from a
Waxahachie buffet, claiming she got ‘Fried Rice Syndrome’ after
eating there. The
woman, 62-year-old Germaine Mobley, says she went to eat at Asian
King Buffet with a friend in 2016. A
repeat customer, Mobley says that after her meal—she didn’t
notice anything wrong. Court documents say that she, “purchased and
consumed fried rice.” “Everything
tasted fine,” she said. “After we ate, I started not feeling well
on the drive home.” Mobley
lives in Corsicana and says when she got back to the house—her
health worsened. “I
just started vomiting, “she said. “The next morning, I was having
problems breathing, so my husband called an ambulance.”
Court
documents say that “as a result of consuming the fried rice in
question, Mobley ingested Bacillus cereus.” Bacillus
cereus is a type of bacteria that produces toxins and can be found on
foods that have sat out too long at room temperature. The
Food and Drug Administration says Bacillus cereus is commonly found
in fried rice and is the cause of ‘Fried Rice Syndrome.’ ‘Fried
Rice Syndrome’ is a term commonly used to describe the illness
people get after eating fried rice dishes containing Bacillus cereus.
Symptoms include cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea.Those symptoms should
only last about 24 hours according to the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services. But
Mobley says she was in the ICU for 8 days and was on a ventilator for
2 of those days because she choked on her own vomit while wearing an
oxygen mask.
“Fried
Rice Syndrome sounds like a joke, but it’s very serious,”
Mobley’s attorney Kathryn Knotts said. “They
(Asian King) didn’t maintain the food at the proper temperature or
kept it out for a long period of time.” Mobley
said that she couldn’t walk for a week after she left the hospital,
and had to go through rehab for three months after the ordeal. She
admitted to having health complications before eating the rice,
however. Knotts said that likely made her condition worse in the
hospital. “You just never dream that you would go out to eat and
get that ill,” Mobley said. “Now,
I would not eat rice off a buffet…anywhere.” Asian
King Buffet denied any responsibility in a court filing and is
demanding proof. Its lawyers declined to comment to WFAA. Mobley
said she just wants people to know about Bacillus cereus before they
eat out. “You’re taking the chance at getting very ill when
you’re eating at a rice buffet,” Mobley said. “You could be the
next person.”
