According
to a probable cause affidavit, a Louisiana woman arrested on August
1st denied ownership of methamphetamine that was discovered inside a
plastic baggie lodged in her private area. 23-year-old Ashley Beth
Rolland was questioned early Wednesday by police after a man accused
her of stealing $5,000 from his home. The victim, Eugene Dix, told
West Monroe Police Department officers that Rolland had stayed with
him in his apartment for the last week. Dix alleged that while he was
showering, Rolland took his cash and left the residence. During a
subsequent interview with cops, Rolland reportedly confessed to
swiping the money, which was recovered during a “consensual search
of Rolland’s person” by a female correctional officer. The amount
seized from Rolland was $6,233. The female jailer also discovered a
“clear plastic bag containing approximately one gram of meth inside
Rolland’s vagina.” The suspect, however, “denied ownership of
the methamphetamine.” Rolland was charged with theft and narcotics
possession. (https://bit.ly/2YAWleg)

The operators of a soccer stadium in Mexico say they may consider booting a concession stand from its stall after claims that vendors were recycling leftover beer. In what they described a “reprehensible” situation, the operators of the Territorio Santos Modelo (TSM) entertainment complex in Torreón, Coahuila, acknowledged the “undue action by one of the beer vendors” in a statement released to social media earlier this week, promising to investigate further. The investigation was reportedly spurred by footage captured at the Estadio Corona – part of the Territorio Santos Modelo entertainment complex – which allegedly shows the vendor pouring leftover beer into a bucket behind the counter. The vendors were then accused of refilling new cups from that bucket for resale. A representative for Orlegi, the company behind the stadium, told Fox News in a statement that they will take action to prevent anything like this from happening in the future.

A
British man has been awarded more than $24,000 after going into a
hospital for a bladder procedure — and coming out circumcised. “It
was a real surprise,” 70-year-old Terry Brazier told the Daily Star
of the accidental snip at Leicester Royal Infirmary. Brazier was
supposed to get a cystoscopy, where Botox is injected into the
bladder wall to help control incontinence, and was too busy chatting
with staff to realize he was instead receiving the personal
procedure. He was awarded more than $24,000 in compensation for the
surgical screw-up that’s being blamed on staff mixing up their
notes. Medical Director Andrew Furlong stated, “We remain deeply
and genuinely sorry that this mistake occurred, and I would like to
take this opportunity to once again apologize to Mr. Brazier.”
