A
Hialeah, Florida man was arrested early Friday after police seized
three pounds of methamphetamine worth $25,000, which he said was for
“filtering pools.” 53-year-old Guillermo Arteaga was being held
on $25,000 bail at the Volusia County Branch Jail. Arteaga was
arrested after police stopped him for doing 80 mph in a 45-mph zone
and discovered an arrest warrant out of Palm Beach County. When
police conducted a vehicle inventory before Arteaga’s car was
towed, they found a black bag in the trunk that contained smaller
vacuum-sealed bags with large quantities of an “ice-like substance”
that tested positive for meth. According to police, Arteaga said that
the meth wasn’t for human consumption but for “filtering pools.”
He was charged with trafficking methamphetamine 200 grams or more and
possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also charged with grand
theft over $20,000, burglary of a conveyance, and grand theft of a
motor vehicle. (https://bit.ly/2ZGLVL3)

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
Caterpillars turn into soup before becoming butterflies. We all know that caterpillars create a cocoon in which they transform into beautiful butterflies, but what actually goes on inside that cocoon is pretty gross: The insect actually “digests itself, releasing enzymes to dissolve all of its tissues,” as Scientific American explains. Once it’s fully disintegrated (excluding some “imaginal discs”), it then begins “the rapid cell division required to form the wings, antennae, legs, eyes, genitals, and all the other features of an adult butterfly or moth.”

A Kansas man who robbed a bank last September and told police that he was hoping to get caught so he would get prison time to escape his wife, was sentenced Tuesday to six months of home confinement after pleading guilty. Lawrence John Ripple took the guilty plea in January. He told the judge on Tuesday that he had heart surgery that left him depressed when he committed the bank robbery. His public defender told the court that Ripple had lived a law-abiding life and was in a stable relationship with his wife. He has four step children. Ripple handed a note to a bank teller in Kansas City, demanding cash and warning he had a gun. Ripple took the money-- $2,924-- and went to sit in the lobby where he told a guard he was the “guy he was looking for.” Officers arrived quickly. An FBI agent wrote in the affidavit that Ripple had earlier been arguing with his wife. He told investigators he wrote the note in front of his wife, telling her he would “rather be in jail than at home.” (https://fxn.ws/2NnnMYD)

Cops
allege that a Florida Woman broke into her ex-girlfriend’s home at
3:00 a.m. and assaulted the sleeping victim with a lava lamp.
Investigators say that 29-year-old Chanel Hall “forced entry
through the locked front door” of the victim’s Tampa-area
residence. Hall then went to an upstairs bedroom where the
26-year-old victim was asleep. According to a criminal complaint,
Hall hit her ex “in the forehead with a lava lamp.” The blow
opened a gash on the woman’s head that required several stitches to
close. Hall was booked Monday on a felony burglary with aggravated
battery or assault count. She was also charged with criminal
mischief, a misdemeanor. Hall, who was released from the Pasco County
jail last night after posting $650 bond, has been ordered by a judge
to have no contact with the victim. The court complaint notes that,
“Victim and Defendant were involved in a sexual relationship for
approximately ten months.”
