A new study claims that heavy marijuana users who are also vaccinated may be more susceptible to breakthrough cases of COVID-19. The study, published in World Psychology, found that those with a substance use disorder — a dependence on marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, opioids, and tobacco — were more likely to contract the coronavirus after receiving both of their vaccination shots.

A
Ferndale pastor is in jail after police say he tried to kill two
Arenac County sheriff's deputies with his car. The terrifying ordeal
happened Wednesday just off of I-75. The pastor's name is David
Jones, and according to the Hilton Oaks Baptist Church Facebook page,
he gave sermons regularly at the church. Court documents show Jones
had a long history of drinking and driving, and his latest arrest was
in August in Oakland County. "If you turn your vehicle around
and intentionally collide with a police vehicle, you are going to be
charged with attempted murder on police," Arena County
Undersheriff Don McIntyre said. Two deputies were called to the
convenience store just off the exit when they found Jones sitting in
his car. Police say he was intoxicated and refused to cooperate and
do anything the deputies asked. Moments later, they say Jones took
off across the highway, pulled into a parking lot and then eventually
slammed his car into the back of the building. "He struck their
building, turned his vehicle towards deputies, accelerated, smashing
our patrol car," McIntyre added. "Luckily our deputies were
not injured." Even after the crash, Jones refused to get out of
his car. Police say they had to break the windows. Court records show
Jones has had eight drinking and driving offenses on his record.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
An elderly man was seen leading Florida State Troopers on a slow-speed chase in a viral video. The bizarre encounter happened northbound on the Florida Turnpike somewhere near mile marker 9 just after 4:30 p.m. At least three Florida State Trooper vehicles can be seen following the man on his scooter, who is driving on the left shoulder. Decked out in a white golf hat and red polo shirt, he’s driving well below the Turnpike’s speed limit of 70 mph, the video clearly shows. Florida Highway Patrol told Fox News that troopers responded to the area and made contact with a 75-year-old Hispanic male who told them he had accidentally gotten on the highway and didn't know how to exit. The troopers escorted the man to the next exit ramp to a safe location off the highway. The Instagram user Sparrow Concepts shared the video. Commenters had a field day at the spectacle. "Riding dirty," wrote one Instagram user, invoking the 2005 hit song "Ridin’" by Chamillionaire. "This is why Miami’s car insurance is so high," wrote another user. (https://fxn.ws/3iD6wvD)
MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by BetterResultsAdvertising.com
A man jailed for allegedly threatening the life of a woman transmitted the menacing message in sign language via a video text, Florida police say. 35-year-old Robert Sowle was arrested Monday evening on a felony charge and booked into the Pinellas County jail. According to a criminal complaint, Sowle sent the victim a video text on September 28th “describing in sign language ‘I’ll kill you. OK? I’ll kill you.’” The woman told police that Sowle, who is deaf, was upset because he believed she took his mail. Sowle lives at the Silver Lake mobile home park in St. Petersburg, though the landlord this month filed an eviction lawsuit against him and his ex-girlfriend for nonpayment of several months of their $1340 rent. Sowle’s relationship to the target of the alleged threat is unclear since the complaint contains redactions made by law enforcement officials due to “confidential victim information” contained in the document. The victim, cops say, “was in fear the defendant would cause harm to her.” Sowle relocated to Florida from Michigan, where his rap sheet included multiple convictions for domestic violence, as well convictions for assault and resisting police.
