Two
British senior citizens were removed from a Caribbean cruise ship and
arrested after a “large amount of cocaine” was discovered in
their cabin. The 70-year-old and 72-year-old suspects are being held
by police in Portugal. The Marco Polo ship, operated by Cruise and
Maritime Voyages, had returned to Europe from a cruise around the
Caribbean. The elderly folks, who are thought to be a couple, were
detained in Lisbon after Portugal’s Policia Judiciaria received
information from the UK’s National Crime Agency. According to the
Portuguese force, the pair were arrested on suspicion of trafficking
narcotics and have been remanded in custody. Officers boarded the
ship when it docked in Lisbon and searched the cabin. There they
discovered 20 to 22 pounds (9 to 10 kilograms) of the Class A drug
stashed away in four pieces of luggage. The suspects appeared in
court in Portugal, where they were remanded in custody pending an
ongoing investigation by forces in both Britain and
Portugal.

Santa
at Olathe Bass Pro stops and prays for little boy who asked for new
kidney for Christmas. A metro woman shared her amazing experience at
Bass Pro Shops in Olathe with a TV station's "Tell Me Something
Good" segment and it warmed hearts all over the newsroom.
Julie
said:
We
had a very unique and wonderful experience tonight when we went to
see Santa at Bass Pro in Olathe. After the kids took their picture,
they got off Santa`s lap and he asked each of the kids what they
wanted for Christmas.
When
he got to Levi, I said, he doesn`t talk much, but he`s on the kidney
transplant list, so he would like a new kidney for Christmas.
Santa
had a very surprised look on his face and immediately reached for
Levi and put him back on his lap. Santa then put one arm around Levi
and his other hand on his belly and started to pray for Levi.
It
was the most heartfelt, sincere prayer.
He
hugged Levi and set him down. He looked me in the eye and squeezed my
hand.
I
walked away crying. It never ceases to amaze me how God puts people
in your path to bless and encourage you when you need it most, and
usually it comes in the most unexpected places and ways. I`m thankful
for this sweet man tonight.
Thanks,
Santa at Bass Pro

The Arizona Department of Public Safety helped arrest three suspects accused of defrauding California's recycling program out of $16.1 million by accepting monetary return for out-of-state recyclable goods. Working with the California Department of Justice and the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, DPS arrested 49-year-old Miguel Bustillos from Glendale, 57-year-old Anthony Sanchez from Tucson, and a third unnamed man.
