A
Florida charter captain has been arrested after authorities say he
got drunk and high and threatened to shoot passengers. Sarasota
police say 36-year-old boat captain Mark Bailey got into a fight with
the teenage son of one of the five passengers over the weekend.
Several other passengers became involved and authorities say the
argument escalated. According to a police report, passengers said
they heard Bailey fire several shots from the upper deck into the
water and saw him drinking and doing drugs. For hours, passengers
said the captain refused to dock even after they paid him. They
eventually called the Coast Guard. Passengers told the Herald-Tribune
they felt like hostages and, at one point, discussed a plan to
overtake Bailey but felt it was too risky because he had a gun.
Bailey was charged with boating under the influence and resisting
arrest. (https://bit.ly/2WMEEM5)

FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
Whether or not you dream in black and white depends on whether you watched black-and-white television. If your dreams look more vintage than HD, there’s a high chance you grew up watching black-and-white television. According to one 2008 study published in the journal Conscious Cognition, most people born after the year 1983 said they almost never dream in black and white, whereas people born in the year 1953 and earlier said they dream in black and white about a quarter of the time. Overall, 12 percent of people dream entirely in black and white, leading the researchers to suggest that “true greyscale dreams occur only in people with black and white media experience.”

According
to an arrest affidavit, a woman pulled a gun on a man inside of a
Mexican restaurant in Southeast Austin during an argument over who
would be up next for karaoke just before 1:00 a.m. last Sunday. The
woman, identified by police as 41-year-old Doris Vallejo-Godoy, was
with her girlfriend in the bar at La Catedral del Marisco when the
confrontation began over the karaoke machine in the restaurant.
Vallejo-Godoy told police she pulled out her pistol to calm the man
down after he called her bad names, but never pointed it at the man.
But the man told officers that after the argument began,
Vallejo-Godoy struck him in the face, pulled the gun out, and pointed
it directly at him. She was charged with aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon, a second-degree felony. Police also said she lacked a
concealed handgun license and was charged with unlawful carrying of a
concealed weapon, a third-degree felony.
