An
Arizona man arrested for riding a Bird scooter while intoxicated is
now wanted by police. Shelton Begay recently failed to show for two
separate arraignments in Tempe Municipal Court, prompting a judge to
issue arrest warrants for the 28-year-old defendant. The first
warrant was filed in mid-January and the second was issued February
1st. According to cops, Begay was busted last year for DUI, reckless
driving, criminal damage, and other crimes. His blood alcohol content
was measured at .285, more than three times the legal limit. As
detailed in a Tempe Police Department report, Begay--piloting a
motorized Bird scooter--crashed into the side of a parked Dodge Dart
around 9:00 a.m. The vehicle’s owner told police that Begay
appeared drunk and was swerving across the roadway. Begay apparently
later fell off the scooter, which is capable of speeds up to 35 mph
and is classified by police as a motor vehicle. He was arrested after
failing a series of field sobriety tests. A search of Begay’s
backpack turned up a 16-ounce can of beer and seven small bottles of
99 Bananas liqueur. (https://bit.ly/2SdJBfj)

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
The
Size of Your Social Circle Is Related to Your Brain’s Size
A
scientist at Oxford discovered that the size of a person’s
“orbitomedial prefrontal cortex” (the part of a brain that that
identifies other people’s moods and personalities) can predict the
size of that person’s social circle. The average prefrontal cortex
averages out to around 147.8 friends in a social network.

A woman who couldn’t get a beef patty at a favorite New York eatery used a baseball bat in protest. On Saturday, police released surveillance video of the woman in action in the Bronx — smashing a restaurant’s windows after learning the eatery had run out of her favorite food. Police say the woman at the Back-Home restaurant in the Morrisania neighborhood came in on the afternoon of January 15th and ordered a patty. She was told they’d run out, and she got upset. Authorities say she left and came back to the Jamaican restaurant with the bat. The video shows a woman bashing in two windows. She fled and police were still searching for her on Saturday. The video shows a woman dressed in a black and white jacket and matching sneakers, swinging a multi-colored aluminum bat as bystanders tried to stop her before she walked away. No one was injured during the incident. (https://bit.ly/2E466L6)

Authorities
say a Florida man was arrested for misuse of 9-1-1 and calling the
emergency line at least 200 times because he “wanted someone to
talk to.” According to a police report, an officer responded to a
9-1-1 hang-up complaint on January 30th at around 1:00 a.m. When
authorities arrived at the scene, they met with 38-year-old Michael
Reston, who told officials he had accidentally dialed 9-1-1 and did
not have an emergency. Reston also told officers his phone had run
out of minutes and he just wanted someone to talk to. When
authorities searched further into Reston's history, they learned he
reportedly called 9-1-1 approximately 200 times in two months. Reston
was arrested and received a first-degree misdemeanor charge for
misuse of 9-1-1. (https://abc13.co/2HRHTLZ)
