Today
we visit with Judge Lauren Lake. She definitely took a different path
to the courtroom then most. Though she has her law degree from
Detroit’s Wayne University and is a member of the Michigan, New
York and New Jersey state bars – Lauren started out as a
professional singer & songwriter, performing back-up for Jay-Z,
Mary J. Blige, P. Diddy, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. She’s even an
interior design expert who hosted HGTV’s Spice Up My Kitchen for
six seasons. Today, Lauren presides over the nationally syndicated
daytime courtroom series Lauren Lake’s Paternity Court, now in its
seventh season. In the Emmy-nominated series, Judge Lauren oversees
highly emotional family cases that lead to life-changing
consequences. https://paternitycourt.tv/

Worried that her methamphetamine was contaminated, an Iowa woman drove to police headquarters and asked cops to check her stash for the Coronavirus. 53-year-old Shawn Salmen arrived at the Sioux City Police Department Sunday afternoon and reportedly admitted to officers that she recently used meth, which appeared obvious since the paranoid Salmen was sweating profusely and acting erratically. While speaking with police, Salmen “was requesting officers to check her narcotics for the COVID-19 Virus,” a criminal complaint states. During a subsequent pat down of Salmen and a search of her truck, cops recovered 14.4 grams of meth, marijuana, and “a large amount of drug paraphernalia.” Salmen, who lives in Sioux City, was arrested on a pair of felony narcotics charges and a misdemeanor pot possession count. She was released Tuesday from the Woodbury County jail after posting $25,000 bond. (https://bit.ly/2x8MBjY)

Star Wars was expected to be a flop. The original 1977 Star Wars had a budget of $8 million, which distributor 20th Century Fox was reluctant to give to director/writer George Lucas, so he accepted a lower salary in order to keep the budget. The movie went on to make $775 million around the world, and Disney picked up the entire franchise for $4 billion. For comparison, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which was released in 2017, had a reported budget of $317 million.

Authorities
say that a known Florida scammer is wanted by New Jersey authorities
for allegedly calling in thousands of dollars’ worth of phony pizza
orders in the state, claiming the food was being donated to the
police. 34-year-old Sudeep Khetani, who is believed to be in Orlando,
never paid for any of the orders that he placed at several Garden
State pizzerias, including in South Brunswick, Montgomery, and
Plainsboro. On several occasions when the restaurants called Khetani
back, he bizarrely said he wished Italians would get infected with
the Coronavirus. “It is incomprehensible that a suspect would play
on the goodwill of so many during these difficult times,” said
Chief Raymond Hayducka of the South Brunswick Township Police
Department. Police were eventually able to identify Khetani through
the fake phone number he used. New Jersey and Florida authorities are
working together to track Khetani down. Police added that Khetani is
on probation in the Sunshine State for selling fake Disney World
tickets. (https://bit.ly/2V9FTmE)

A supermarket shopper was spotted appearing to wear underwear on her head as a makeshift coronavirus face mask. Jared Richter and his wife Jennifer had been food shopping at supermarket in Coconut Creek, Florida on Tuesday when they spotted the woman's quirky attempt at staying safe while buying her groceries. As she prepared to get out of the car, 44-year-old Jennifer “froze and started cracking up” after noticing the beige underwear stretched across the customer's head. The woman can be seen packing away her shopping and returned her trolley - completely unfazed by the couple staring at her from across the car park. Jared's video has now been viewed more than 35,000 times and attracted more than 380 reactions - as social media users laugh at another bizarre attempt to solve the face mask shortage.
