This driver took “flyover state” just a little bit too literally. A woman with a need for speed was clocked doing 137 mph in the rain while driving a sleek white Ferrari 488 Spider through Iowa. The Iowa State Patrol posted a photo of the traffic stop to Facebook showing the shockingly high speed the driver reached on the cop’s radar gauge as she was caught barreling through Mason City. The maximum speed limit on any Iowa road is 70 mph, so the driver, who rented the Ferrari, can face massive fines. Police reportedly told the speed queen “It’s not a good idea to drive this fast in the rain.” The woman then actually stated that she thought she was “only driving around 100 mph.” (https://goo.gl/9o4ASX)

THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
(COMMENTS ARE WELCOME)

Dear John,
My husband and I have been having some tough times lately. We've been married for twelve years. Most of those have been happy years. We have two daughters and they are both involved in many activities. Sometimes we each take a girl and go our own way. It seems like we hardly ever see eachother any more, then when we do it's pretty easy to spend that time arguing about dumb things. One of those things is a dog. We talked about getting a dog, but we both agreed tht we were not home enough and it would be a bad idea. Last weekend while I was at a work event, he took the girls out an picked out a dog. I feel like he is purpousley trying to drive a wedge between us. What do you think? I know the girls love the dog, but I think it was a bad idea. My husband agreed, but then got them the dog anyway. What do I do? Should I get rid of the dog an be the “bad guy”? Should I get rid of the husband? (just kidding, sort of)

Any advice?



Signed – NotSoHappyDogMom

A Tennessee man decided he found better use for a biscuit when he chose to lunge it at his former girlfriend. 45-year-old Jeffrey Tomerlin was arrested Monday after he allegedly threw a biscuit “really hard” at his ex-girlfriend’s face. Tomerlin flew into a rage Sunday night when he spotted his former fling with her new boyfriend in a car in South Nashville. He reportedly charged at the vehicle and began punching the hood of the car and telling the couple he would kill them. He also yelled racial slurs. Police arrived at the scene where Tomerlin continued to bang his head while sitting inside the police cruiser. He was taken to the hospital before being booked into jail on charges including public intoxication, vandalism, and assault.

Forswunke   (for-SWUNK)
Adjective:
-Exhausted after physical exertion.

Officials in Virginia are investigating a shooting that reportedly stemmed from an argument involving two men and whether Halle Berry played Aretha Franklin in a movie. Officers responded to the shooting around 10:45 a.m. Thursday. A witness told WTKR they overheard the two-people arguing about whether Halle Berry played Aretha Franklin in a movie. Police said one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the other man “at least once.” The gunshot victim was taken to a local hospital where he is listed in serious condition. Media reports from 2011 indicated Aretha Franklin said she wanted Halle Berry to play her in the yet-to-be-filmed biopic. However, earlier this year Franklin chose Jennifer Hudson for the role. (https://goo.gl/QSWXZc)

33-year-old Daniel Scott Walker led authorities in a high-speed chase starting in Gainesville, Texas and ending in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Gainesville Police Chief Kevin Phillips said an officer caught the truck driving 83 mph in a 60-mph zone late Friday night. Chief Phillips said, “when the officer attempted to make a traffic stop the vehicle failed to stop and initiated a pursuit.” Police say during the chase the suspect threw out an empty water bottle with white powder inside, which they think is some sort of narcotic. Gainesville Police tried to use spike strips on the truck but they didn't work, and the driver continued north on I-35 into Oklahoma. Once in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol stepped in to help and finally arrested Walker. His charges in Oklahoma include eluding a police officer, running a road block, and DUI.

Police have arrested a 35-year-old New Mexico man suspected of calling in a bomb threat to a local eatery. Emmanuel Soriano has been charged with one count of unlawful bomb scare. About noon on Wednesday, August 8th, Las Cruces Police were dispatched to the report of a bomb threat at the Corner Bakery. The business was cleared and nothing suspicious was located. Police learned that Soriano is related to one of the store’s employees and had made multiple telephone calls to the business during the morning, trying to talk to his relative. The relative refused to take any of his phone calls. Investigators allege that Soriano called 9-1-1 and made the bomb threat. They confirmed that the call came from near Soriano’s residence. Soriano indicated that he made the bomb threat because the store was no longer taking his calls.
