According
to criminal complaints, a Florida Man is behind bars after stealing
what he thought were Hydrocodone pills, but which turned out to
actually be over-the-counter laxatives and not powerful prescription
opioids. Cops allege that 56-year-old Peter Hans Emery took the pills
from a “lock box” at the victim’s Pinellas Park home last
Thursday morning. Cops say that Emery was recorded by a video camera
“entering the victim’s lock box, selecting a pill bottle, pouring
pills into his hand, and then leaving.” Emery subsequently
discovered that he had not swiped painkillers. The pill bottle
actually contained dosages of Equate Gentle Laxative, which promises
“predictable overnight relief” from constipation. Emery was
booked into the Pinellas County jail on a felony charge since his rap
sheet includes two prior theft convictions. Emery is also facing
probation violation charges since he is in the midst of a two-year
community supervision term related to a conviction last year for
theft and illegal possession of the painkiller Dilaudid.

Carrots Were Originally Purple

Carrots Were Originally Purple
Though
the root vegetable is as closely identified with the color orange as
anything else (including oranges), carrots were originally purple.
This variety originated in the region of what is now Afghanistan and
spread throughout the Persian Empire, until the 16th century when,
according to the Carrot Museum, “The western, orange carrot
probably arose in Europe or in the western Mediterranean region
through gradual selection within yellow carrot populations. The Dutch
landraces Long Orange and the finer Horn types, first described in
1721, were an important basis for the western carrot cultivars grown
at present all over the world.”

Military prosecutors say a Navy sailor is accused of setting his pee sample on fire during a routine urine screening back in May. While stationed at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia, Logistics Specialist 3rd Class Curtis Dajuan Johnson reportedly tried to light pee samples on fire. He reportedly did this “in order to prevent the results of said urinalysis from being used against him at an adverse administrative proceeding, which he had reason to believe would be pending absent his obstruction,” according to Johnson’s charge sheet. The charge sheet stated Johnson is charged with making a false statement, aggravated arson, and wrongful interference with an adverse administrative proceeding. Prosecutors allege that Johnson lied to investigators when he claimed he left the base at 5:00 p.m. to go to Philadelphia when he was actually still on post until 11:00 p.m. the evening of the alleged arson. He also tried to light the pee on fire in an occupied building. (https://nyp.st/2UBra15)

A man who was driving on a suspended license when he crashed his car in the Lowcountry told deputies he was an undercover officer for their agency. The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post Tuesday that they responded to a crash in Jamestown to assist the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
Deputies said the driver of the car that had crashed identified himself as law enforcement. 38-year-old Jonathan Matthew Meree said he was “an undercover cop” employed by the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office. The post reads, “Meree was obviously unable to present any real law enforcement credentials.” According to the sheriff’s office, Meree was charged with driving under suspension, reckless driving, and impersonating a law enforcement officer.
