24-year-old
Charleston resident Parrish Brown hit up his local McDonald's to give
into a sweet tea craving. And while he included a special request
with the order, an extra lemon, the chain delivered something...
else: a cup full of weed. Brown claims he picked up the drink,
drained it while at work, and became super high. After allegedly
feeling said effects, he opened the lid to find three bags of
marijuana. Per his account, the bags were punctured by his straw.
According to Hilton Head-based newspaper the The Island Packet, who
spoke with Brown following the incident, he had never experimented
with weed before and didn't recognize the flavor. So, he just kept on
guzzling the tea, despite acknowledging that it tasted off. Brown
did, however, realize something was awry after he admittedly became
“high as a kite.” His dad quickly advised him to call 9-1-1, but
unsurprisingly they didn't take his concern all that
seriously.(https://bit.ly/33Pl1Dh)

An
east Alabama Walmart reopened last Thursday following its closure
after a man created a diversion with a flaming shopping cart and
attempted to skirt past security with a cart full of groceries. The
attempt failed. According to the LaFayette Sun, 28-year-old Troy
Maloy Brown is alleged to have loaded up the shopping cart with
flammable objects and to have set it on fire in the home décor
section. Video footage captures Brown then moving to another part of
the store and retrieving a cart full of groceries. He attempted to
flee the store with the loaded shopping cart as the first cart
burned, but he was stopped by a Wal-Mart associate at the door and
was made to part with the groceries. Brown was picked up in a silver
van. He was subsequently found at his residence. He attempted to
resist arrest but was tased. He faces charges of Burglary 2nd Degree,
Arson 1st Degree, and Criminal Mischief 1st
