She
may be getting a long timeout. A kindergarten teacher in Virginia has
been arrested while her students were at recess after a substance
suspected to be cocaine was found in her desk. 46-year-old Cybil
Billie of Chesterfield County was taken into custody last week at
Lakeview Elementary School after an administrator contacted a school
resource officer about possible drugs. The officer spoke with Billie
and found what appeared to be cocaine in her classroom desk. Division
Superintendent William D. Sroufe said the students were at recess
when she was taken into the custody and the arrest was handled
“tactfully.” Billie was booked on felony possession of cocaine.
She is being held without bond until her next court date June 2nd.
One of her students’ parents, Kelli Gagnon, said that she had a
conversation with her daughter about how “sometimes adults make
mistakes.” “Sometimes adult mistakes are a little bigger. We
can’t just go stand in time out… [Bilie] will get the help that
she needs,” Gagnon told WRIC. “She was a great teacher. My
daughter enjoyed having her so much.” (https://bit.ly/3dTRKic)

Children's
medicine once contained morphine. If you were a baby in the middle of
the 1800s and you cried while teething, your parents might have given
you Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. This "medicine" claimed
that "it soothes the child, it softens the gums, [and] allays
all pain." It may have done plenty of soothing, but it was also
extremely dangerous—this concoction, like many patent medicines of
the time, contained morphine.

A
Texas man was arrested after he allegedly bought a Dodge Durango
using someone else’s identity and then called 9-1-1 to falsely
report the vehicle had been stolen. 35-year-old Dustin S. Fell was
charged with theft between $10,000 and $100,000, false alarm or
complaint to 9-1-1, obstructing identification, and resisting a peace
officer. A criminal complaint filed in Lake County Circuit Court
alleges that Fell called 9-1-1 around 2:00 a.m. on April 21st. He
called with the purpose of making a false report when he reported his
vehicle stolen under a false name. Officers with the Deerfield Police
Department responded to investigate the call. Officers asked Fell for
his name and he gave them a false name. Fell was transported to the
Deerfield Police Department and asked to provide fingerprints for
further identification purposes, but he responded “F–k you, you
can only hold me for 30 days.” Officers learned through their
investigation that the name Fell initially provided them with was
actually the name of an identity theft victim.

MOMENT
OF DUH: Brought

Authorities
in Wisconsin say a standoff ended after a man who had threatened to
shoot police climbed into a ceiling, fell through, and was arrested.
The Barron County Sheriff’s Department said the standoff started
Sunday just after 4:00 p.m. with a 9-1-1 call for someone “acting
strange and paranoid” in Chetek. At a home, officers found a
35-year-old man who “told law enforcement that he had a gun, would
shoot them, and that he also had an explosive device in the house.”
After 30 minutes of negotiation, authorities said the man exited the
home with a device he claimed was an explosive, and said he would
activate it. At that point, homes in the area were evacuated and
several law enforcement agencies surrounded the home. Several hours
of negotiations later and after gas was used to try to force the man
out, authorities entered the residence and found him crawling into
the ceiling. They continued to negotiate with him until he fell
through the ceiling. He was taken into custody around 10:00 p.m.
Police searched the home and found no explosive devices or
weapons.(https://cbsloc.al/2RjXMQq)
