Today we visit with author Shannon Dingle. She has experienced staggering tragedy and trauma in her life, including surviving sexual abuse and trafficking as a child that left her with lasting disabilities and experiencing faith shifts that put her at odds with the evangelical church that had been her home. Then, during a family vacation in July 2019, Shannon’s husband was tragically killed by a rogue wave. The grief of the aftermath of losing her love and life partner sits at the heart of her new book LIVING BRAVE: Lessons from Hurt, Lighting the Way to Hope - https://amzn.to/3BxAysH

While
in custody and declining to take field sobriety tests, an Iowa
motorcyclist suspected of drugged driving Googled “how long meth
stays in your system after initial consumption.” Robert Perez, 53,
was riding a stolen Kawasaki motorcycle when pulled over in Iowa
City. Perez was “making non-sensical actions” while driving the
motorcycle, which was listed as stolen in a law enforcement database.
When questioned by an Iowa City Police Department officer, Perez
claimed “a fellow meth user loaned him the vehicle.” Perez,
however, was unable to provide a name or address for the motorcycle’s
purported owner. Perez, who admitted injecting meth five hours
earlier, had “multiple syringe caps” in his pockets. Though he
agreed to take a breath test (which detected a .00 blood alcohol
content), Perez refused all field sobriety tests. While at the police
station--and apparently still in possession of his phone--Perez was
“witnessed by another officer Googling ‘how long meth stays in
your system after initial consumption.” Investigators then secured
a search warrant to draw blood from Perez. The sample has been sent
to the state crime lab for testing. Perez--who has two prior
operating while intoxicated convictions--was charged with theft,
driving under the influence, and driving with a suspended license.

FACT FOR YOU:

this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
The
majority of Americans choose dogs over love. Dogs have been known for
the longest time as man's best friend, but Americans are increasingly
taking that to a new level. A 2017 study from Rover.com conducted
over three years found that 54 percent of dog owners are willing to
end a relationship if their pup doesn't like their partner. The study
also found that 94 percent of dog owners consider their dogs to be a
part of their family, and 78 percent include their pups in major
family moments. Since one in four people said they bring their cuddly
companions on first dates, maybe consider bringing dog treats instead
of flowers next time.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
The owner of a Chinese restaurant in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood posted a video he said showed two women breaking into his kitchen and trying — but failing — to whip up dumplings. Jason Wang, the owner of Xi’an, posted the video on social media after he said he walked into the restaurant and sensed something was amiss. The Gothamist reported that he noticed a bun floating in the water and cut vegetables outside his refrigerator. Wang reportedly said he was appalled when he watched the surveillance video from the night before. He also admitted that he was a little amused watching one unsuccessfully trying to fry the food. He hinted that he will not press charges if the two reach out to him, pay for the expenses, and apologize. "It’s unacceptable, it’s something that shouldn’t happen for safety and liability reasons, but at the same time, it’s somewhat entertaining," he said. The NYPD told Fox News that there is no report on file regarding the alleged incident. An after-hours call to the restaurant went to voice mail.(https://fxn.ws/3wGVw4y)
MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by BetterResultsAdvertising.com
A
Louisiana man has admitted to stealing and pawning a $4500 ring owned
by his girlfriend and then using the ill-gotten proceeds for a down
payment on an engagement ring for the same woman. Justin Pope, 29,
was arrested yesterday for the theft of a ring that belonged to
Samantha Futch, 40. Pope allegedly stole the ring from his
girlfriend’s home in Downsville, a village about 25 miles from
Monroe. According to a probable cause affidavit, Pope confessed to
“taking a ring that belonged to his then-girlfriend in 2019” and
told investigators that he sold the ring “at a local pawn shop,
then used the money for a down payment on an engagement ring for
her.” The stolen ring was valued at $4499. The affidavit does not
reveal how Pope was identified as a suspect (or why it took two years
for an arrest). Pope told deputies that he tried to retrieve the ring
a month after pawning it, “only to learn that it had been melted
for scrap.” The court filing lists separate addresses for Pope and
Futch, so it appears the pair is no longer a couple.
