Notes for Wednesday April 10, 2019
Today
we visit with Richard Pryor Jr. about his new book “In a Pryor Life”
his self proclaimed "Freakish Life" paralleled his famous
father's and namesake in many ways. A Peoria whorehouse, abuse,
alcohol and drug addition, as well as frequent bad decisions.
However, he survived. And that's what his book is about, a real-life
story of overwhelming obstacles, surviving, and thriving.

Police
say that a man admitted to taking a Wayne State University bus on a
joyride through the Ann Arbor area early Friday morning. Wayne State
University Police Chief Anthony Holt said a shuttle bus driver called
police about 6:15 a.m. March 29th, after the bus was taken from a gas
station. Holt added that it was stolen after the driver left the bus
running and went inside the gas station. The bus belongs to Trinity
Transportation, a company contracted to run the shuttle service. Lt.
Darren Green of the Michigan State Police First District said that
about an hour later, around 7:15 a.m., police spotted the bus on I-94
near Ann Arbor. They stopped the bus on westbound I-94 near Baker
Road, west of Ann Arbor, and conducted field sobriety tests on the
driver - a 59-year-old Detroit man. It’s believed the man was
drunk. Green said, “He uttered, without being asked, 'The keys were
in it, so I took it.’” The man was arrested for possession of the
stolen vehicle and suspected operating while under the influence,
said Green. He was then taken to a hospital for a blood draw. The man
already had 16 misdemeanor warrants, along with 21 driving
suspensions. (https://bit.ly/2FJnggI)

An
Oregon man is accused of faking a burglary to cover up money stolen
from his daughter’s sale of Girl Scout cookies. 40-year-old Brian
Couture of Forest Grove pleaded not guilty to charges of initiating a
false report and improper use of an emergency reporting system.
Police
said Couture called 9-1-1 on March 6th and reported that someone had
gotten into his home through a sliding glass door leading to a
struggle. Couture was unresponsive when police arrived and he was
taken to a hospital. The area was searched, but no suspect was
located.
Police
said Couture later admitted that he had staged the incident.
Detectives determined he did it to conceal the theft of money from a
nonprofit organization. A Girl Scouts spokeswoman confirmed Couture
is the father of a Girl Scout and there is around $740 in unaccounted
for cookie sales in connection with this case.
