“Don’t
do that,” Audrain County, Missouri Sheriff Matt Oller advised in a
news release regarding a woman who drove to jail on a revoked license
and walked in with drugs in her possession. 29-year-old Amanda N.
Smith was arrested last Wednesday after she drove to the Audrain
County Sheriff’s Department with a revoked driver’s license in
order to reportedly pay a bond for her boyfriend. She was later found
to be in possession of methamphetamine. The department’s exterior
camera recorded Smith driving a vehicle into the parking lot. Major
James Shrader told Sergeant Brian C. Hollensteiner that Smith’s
driver’s license was revoked after multiple convictions of driving
while intoxicated and driving while suspended or revoked. During the
booking process, Smith was allegedly observed removing an item from
her bra and placing it in her pants. Deputies discovered a 2.5-gram
plastic bag containing a white crystalline believed to be
methamphetamine. Smith was charged with felony driving while revoked
or suspended, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, and delivery
or possession of a controlled substance at a county jail.

Sometimes, paradise comes with its own hazards. A Key West stripper was jailed after police said she committed an assault with a “deadly weapon” on Duval Street. The weapon: one coconut. 36-year-old Shonta Latasha Bolds, who is listed as a Miami resident, was arrested on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon at about 2:00 a.m. last Saturday. Bolds admitted to police she threw the coconut at George Exposito, but only because he was videotaping her sitting on the porch of the VIP Gentlemen’s Club. Police said that she shouted obscenities at him as he walked by filming her. Then she hurled a coconut at him. Police said that the video didn’t capture the coconut throw, but it did show a coconut wobbling on the sidewalk “as if it had just been thrown.” Entertainers at the VIP club have been known to get angry at passersby who snap photos of them.

A
New Jersey man was arrested after police say a video appeared on
social media appearing to show the suspect urinating on an unoccupied
Newark police SUV -- while a crowd cheered him on. 22-year-old
Tauqeer Boyd, the man allegedly seen in the video shot Saturday
night, appeared to relieve himself on the marked police vehicle
parked outside the CityPlex 12 movie theater. Boyd was arrested at
his home just hours after citizens alerted police to the video.
Newark Public Safety Director Anthony F. Ambrose said, “We
absolutely will not tolerate disrespect of our police. We take this
as a personal insult. When our department became aware of this, we
moved quickly to apprehend the suspect.” Police said that Boyd was
charged with lewdness, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. The
West Orange native was previously arrested in October for
burglarizing a police cruiser parked outside Hoboken Police
headquarters.
