Law
enforcement officers who pulled a driver over for a traffic violation
in Mississippi allegedly discovered about thirty-seven pounds of
methamphetamine hidden inside a spare tire stashed in the vehicle.
The Scott County Sheriff’s Office and the Flowood Police Department
stopped a pickup truck along an interstate near Flowood early this
month after spotting it driving in a “careless manner,” according
to the agencies. An officer conducting the stop discovered a tire in
the bed of the truck, and inside it, an assisting deputy found 37.5
pounds (17 kilograms) of methamphetamine worth an estimated street
value of $350,000. The driver was charged with aggravated trafficking
in methamphetamine. The suspect was not immediately identified and it
was unclear whether they were being held in custody.

They’re on thin ice! Two snowboarders accused of causing an avalanche in Colorado earlier this year could be on the hook for nearly $170,000. 26-year-old Evan Hannibal and 38-year-old Tyler DeWitt are both charged with reckless endangerment for allegedly starting the March 25th snowslide that buried hundreds of feet of roadway. Things began going downhill for the pair after they submitted GoPro footage to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. “Throughout the video there are several comments made about areas of concern,” Brian Metzger, a special operations technician with the Summit County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a report. “The pair were clearly worried about avalanche conditions but proceeded down the path anyway.” Authorities brought charges against the snowboarders after reviewing the footage. Normally, the pair would face up to six months in the county jail and a $750 fine, but prosecutors want them to reimburse the state $168,000 for the damage caused. (https://bit.ly/351z6iG)

An 11-year-old boy stole a school bus and laughed as he led Louisiana cops on a police chase before crashing into a tree. The pint-size pilferer stole the yellow school bus from the parking lot of the Progress Head Start Center in Baton Rouge on Sunday. The boy, who was not identified, hit three cars before crashing into a tree as multiple police units followed him and set up blockades at other intersections to hold back traffic. “We got our first call about a juvenile driver at 9:45 a.m., in the area of Airline Highway and Scenic Highway,” Sergeant L’Jean McKneely Jr. told the newspaper. The boy, who was not hurt, was charged with theft of a vehicle, aggravated flight, three counts of damage to property and one count of aggravated assault. (https://bit.ly/33V6p80)
FAKE
NEWS.... OR FLORIDA?!
I
read a headline, you guess if the story is something that really
happened in the great state of FLORIDA or is it #FakeNews made up to
trick you and amuse me
A
Florida man brought along an AR-15 rifle, a 9mm handgun, and a cache
of ammo for his Disney World family vacation due to safety fears over
recent anti-racism protests in the state and across the country. The
43-year-old Palm Beach Gardens man checked into Disney’s Polynesian
Village Resort in Orlando with his guns stuffed in a tennis bag on
Labor Day weekend. The man had a concealed weapons permit and was not
arrested “because no laws were broken.” Security at Disney safely
stored the man’s guns for him until the end of his trip. Police
were notified of the incident after the bellman handling the bag
discovered the weapons when he looked inside upon realizing how heavy
it was. Disney spokeswoman Andrea Finger told the Orlando Sentinel in
a statement: “Our policy is clear that guns or weapons of any kind
are not allowed at our resort regardless of whether someone has a
permit.” (https://bit.ly/3nPnR5F)
