MAX CASELLA
of (THE SOPRANOS, DOOGIE HOWSER M.D.) and new horror-thriller THAT COLD DEAD LOOK IN YOUR EYES. 

Things are not going well for Leonard on the week of his 40th birthday. He's about to lose his girlfriend, his home and his job. To make matters worse, he's experiencing strange hallucinations. Is it stress or an after effect of the high speed theta boxes that have recently been installed all over the city? Whatever the cause, something odd is going on and if Leonard doesn't snap out of it soon, he'll be trapped in this nightmare forever.

People who stay single, or become single again by divorce, may be somewhat more physically fit than those in wedded bliss. Researchers followed nearly 8,900 adults over several years and found that both men and women who got married during the research period tended to experience a dip in cardiovascular fitness, as measured by treadmill tests. In contrast, men who got divorced during the study saw a modest increase in their fitness levels.

Patrick Fleming was pulled over at 4 AM for driving without headlights or tail lights. He was placed under arrest for DUI and marijuana possession charges. Strike one. A search of the vehicle turned up a handgun under the seat. And since he had several felony charges against him previously, it was illegal for him to carry a gun. Strike two, felony weapons charges. A search of his person followed and that’s when things really get interesting. They found two plastic baggies, one with cocaine powder and cocaine base, and one with crystal methamphetamine, wrapped around his penis. Strike three. And he further added to his problems by telling the cops that the drugs wrapped around his penis did not belong to him. Well, we don’t think Santa placed it there! Busted! Charged with possession of cocaine, meth, ammunition, and a firearm.

A New Jersey man has agreed to plead guilty in a convoluted fraud scheme involving Super Bowl rings. It all started in September 2017, the year the New England Patriots won Super Bowl LI, when 24-year-old Scott Spina sent an Instagram message to a former Patriots player who had left the team after the big win. Spina offered to buy his Super Bowl ring and the player agreed, but Spina handed over a bad check when they met to do the trade. Spina, who later sold the ring for $63,000, had also somehow gotten a document containing information about a company that sells Super Bowl rings, plus the former Patriots player's username and password for the company's website. Posing as the player, Spina ordered three family versions of the Super Bowl ring, which are slightly smaller but otherwise very similar, which he had engraved with the name "Brady," pretending they were gifts for Tom Brady's baby. He then contacted the broker who'd purchased the original ring, posing as a friend of Brady's nephews and claiming the nephews wanted to sell the Super Bowl rings Brady was giving them for Thanksgiving. That broker ultimately got suspicious and backed out of the deal, but Spina sold the rings to an auction house for $100,000 (more than three times what Spina paid for them, per the New York Post) and one of them ultimately sold at auction for $337,219. Spina, who was previously sentenced to 35 months behind bars in another fraud case involving high-end sneakers, will appear in court Jan. 31st. (https://bit.ly/3JkuvMb)

A TikTok user says she caught her husband cheating on her after inspecting footage taken by their doorbell security camera. Kaylie Kristina — known on the social media app as @kaylie271 — shared shocking footage from the camera purportedly showing her spouse sneaking his scantily clad mistress out of their marital home back in October. “When your husband is too sick to go on the family trip you planned,” Kristina captioned the initial clip. The black and white footage, taken just after 10:00 p.m., suggests that the man and his mistress have just enjoyed a secret tryst inside the family residence. The man is seen bidding the woman farewell on the front steps of the home, sharing a tender kiss and squeezing her derrière. The woman is wearing only a T-shirt and a tiny pair of shorts as she holds her car keys and waves goodbye after locking lips. Kristina added the hashtags “#cheater” and “#garbage” to the incriminating footage. The devastated wife first shared the footage two months ago to her TikTok account, where it quickly went viral and was viewed more than 5 million times. “He thought the camera was disabled,” Kristina wrote in the comments section, explaining her husband’s brazen behavior. She added that her beau had even installed the security device himself. Kristina has recently updated her TikTok bio to read: “Taking out the trash.” It appears to be a dig at her estranged spouse.

THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!

Dear John,

I think I fell into a trap! My wife and I spent our first Christmas together this year. As we were getting close to Christmas I asked her what she wanted for a gift. She told me we should not do gifts because money was tight. I told her we should still do something small, but she insisted that we should skip gifts this year. So I did exactly that. I got a small gift for my mom and dad, but that's only gift I got for anyone. On Christmas morning I discovered that she bought a pretty nice gift for her parents and she got me several presents. I felt like an absolute jerk as I'm opening my presents and her parents opened their gift and she had nothing. I even said “you told me not to get anything” and she agreed that was the agreement. I think her parents probably think I'm a jerk! What should I have done? Is there anything I can do now? Should I feel bad about this or not? My co-worker told me not to feel bad. It was not my fault. What do you think?

Signed – Humbled Hubby

If you rely on nagging to motivate a spouse, child or employee you can stop because it doesn’t work. Research (commissioned by the insurer Zurich UK) into what motivates people to save money found that having a positive personal goal was a more powerful motivation than simply knowing it was important. The study found that the more a particular goal resonated with someone at an emotional level, not only were they more likely to save up for it but also more likely to save a larger amount.

A Florida Man denied ownership of baggies containing cocaine and methamphetamine that cops found “wrapped around his penis” during a search early Saturday morning, according to arrest affidavits. Investigators say Patrick Florence, 34, was a passenger in a vehicle stopped around 4 AM for traveling without headlights or tail lights on a Clearwater roadway. The driver, Darius Owens, 27, was subsequently arrested on DUI and marijuana possession charges. A search of the vehicle turned up a handgun under Florence’s seat, leading to his arrest on a pair of felony weapons charges. Florence denied ownership of the .38 Special, reported cops who noted that the ex-con’s rap sheet includes “dozens of felony convictions” which barred him from possessing firearms and ammunition. During a search of Florence, a deputy discovered two plastic baggies “wrapped around his penis.” One baggie contained “cocaine powder and cocaine base,” while the other held a “crystal substance” police identified as methamphetamine. Questioned about the narcotics, Florence “stated the package wrapped around his penis was not his,” reported Deputy Levi Blake. It appears Florence--who has multiple cocaine convictions--did not identify the purported owner of the drugs wrapped around his penis (or whether that individual consented to their drugs being stored in such a fashion). Pictured above, Florence was charged with four felonies--possession of cocaine, meth, ammunition, and a firearm--and booked into the Pinellas County jail in lieu of $24,000 bond. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/wrapped-package-arrest-896154

Already planning to drop those pounds you put on in quarantine next year? Perhaps your New Year’s resolution is to get back out and travel more. Whatever the plan is, a researcher says you’re better off throwing your 2021 goals out now because few ever get accomplished. To change things up, and make yourself happier, the expert on motivation and well-being claims resolutions to help others will be better for you personally in the long run. Richard Ryan, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Rochester, says, “We found that when people are focused on giving to others they experience deeper satisfactions than when their goals are more self-oriented. For example, experiments show that doing something benevolent for others, even when you will never meet the beneficiary, increases your positive mood and energy.”

There is a direct link between larger wine glasses and increased wine consumption. Researchers (University of Cambridge) set out studying drinkers at a pub to see whether serving wine in bigger glasses lead to them imbibing more. Over the course of the 16-week study, bar staff switched out smaller glasses with three larger sizes. The researchers believe customers may have been drinking more as their perception of how much they were drinking was skewed by the larger glasses. Their reaction was to order more and drink faster.

A domestic argument over whether to purchase a Christmas tree turned violent, resulting in the arrest of a Florida Man for allegedly battering his girlfriend. Cops allege that 31-year-old Levi Metcalf intentionally elbowed the 36-year-old victim in the face “during an argument over a Christmas tree” Wednesday afternoon in the couple’s St. Petersburg residence. Metcalf’s girlfriend told police that “she wanted to buy a Christmas tree for their apartment and [Metcalf] did not want to buy a Christmas tree.” After being read his rights, Metcalf reportedly admitted to striking the victim in the face with his elbow during the tree dispute, but “claimed it was accidental.” The blow left the woman with “visible swelling on the right cheek of her face.” Metcalf was arrested on a battery charge and booked into the county jail (from which he was later released on his own recognizance). Metcalf, who has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor count, has been outfitted with a GPS monitor and ordered by a judge to have no contact with the victim. While the Christmas tree incident prompted “the second police response to the home of the couple for the day,” the report does not indicate why officers were at the residence earlier that day.

A man was arrested after breaking a drive-thru window and assaulting an employee at a McDonald’s. Shortly after midnight on December 7th, the suspect parked his vehicle at the McDonald’s location across the street from Seattle Center and approached the drive-thru window on foot. He demanded food from the employee working at the window, but she told him he needed to go to the other side of the building and place his order through the speaker. The suspect refused to follow directions and reportedly made faces and threats at the employee in an attempt to intimidate her. The store’s manager stepped in and tried to reason with him. When she was unsuccessful, she closed the drive-thru window. The suspect then grabbed a crowbar from his vehicle and threw it towards the store, shattering the drive-thru window and striking an employee in the back of her head. A customer who witnessed the incident approached the suspect and punched him, knocking him to the ground before placing him in a chokehold. It was at this time that the manager called 9-1-1. Officers arrived shortly afterward and encountered the suspect, who told them he had visited the location before and had issues with the staff getting his order wrong on prior occasions. He shared with officers that he felt that the staff owed him. After interviewing both McDonald’s employees, police arrested the suspect for assault in the second degree, malicious mischief, and harassment.(https://bit.ly/3pWdUFy)

A study reports men tend to behave better when they’re married — both because marriage likely helps improve their behavior, and nicer men are more likely to be married in the first place. The researchers found that men with fewer nasty qualities were more likely to eventually end up married. But among men who did marry, some showed signs indicating that their bad behavior decreased after the union.

A La Porte woman was eventually taken into custody Sunday, December 12th after allegedly hiding from police in a refrigerator. La Porte County Police were dispatched to a residence after a caller hung up after calling 911. Several units arrived in the area shortly after 8:30 p.m. CT where an investigation took place. Police learned that a wanted person was possibly inside the residence. Police say deputies went inside the residence to look for 39-year-old Rabecca Rudd when they found bedding material that was made into a “sheet rope”. It was tied to a light-weight kitchen table and hanging outside of a window. Despite finding this, deputies continued to look inside the residence for Rudd and they reportedly found her hiding inside a refrigerator. Rudd was taken into custody and transported to the La Porte County Jail. Police say she was served with three different arrest warrants for misdemeanor charges of battery, criminal mischief, and possession of paraphernalia. She remains housed in the La Porte County jail and is being held on a $105 cash-only bond through La Porte Superior Court IV and a $305 cash-only bond through La Porte Superior Court III.

Which lane to choose at the grocery: the one with one shopper checking out a huge cart of items, or the one with four shoppers — each with a dozen or so items? Dan Meyer, chief academic officer at math software company Desmos, estimates that in a standard checkout line each item takes three seconds to scan and the rest of the transaction (niceties, paying, etc.) takes 41 seconds. So one overloaded shopper with 100 items will take less than six minutes to be rung up, while four people with 20 items each will take around seven. In other words, says Meyer, you’re better off behind the one customer with the overflowing cart than behind a line of less encumbered express shoppers.

From allegations of cursing the king’s ships, to shape-shifting into animals and birds, or dancing with the devil, a satanic panic in early modern Scotland meant that thousands of women were accused of witchcraft in the 16th-18th centuries with many executed. Now, three centuries after the Witchcraft Act was repealed, campaigners are on course to win pardons and official apologies for the estimated 3,837 people – 84% of whom were women – tried as witches, of which two-thirds were executed and burned. After a two-year campaign by the Witches of Scotland group, a member’s bill in the Scottish parliament has secured the support of Nicola Sturgeon’s administration to clear the names of those accused, the Sunday Times reported. The move follows a precedent by the Massachusetts House of Representatives in the US that proclaimed victims of the Salem Witch trials innocent in 2001. Scotland’s indefatigable pursuit of witches between 1563, when the Witchcraft Act was brought in, and 1736, when it was finally repealed, resulted in five “great Scottish witch-hunts” and a series of nationwide trials. With witchcraft a capital crime, the convicted were usually strangled to death then burned at the stake so as to leave no body to bury. Many confessed under torture, which included sleep deprivation, the crushing and pulling out of fingernails, and pricking of the skin with needles and bodkins to see if the accused bled.

A man from Mississippi is facing up to five years in federal prison after admitting to shining lasers at planes flying into the Memphis airport. 52-year-old Eugene Conrad pleaded guilty in court earlier this week, federal prosecutors announced Thursday. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) first notified the FBI’s Memphis Field Office of the laser strikes on July 15th, having recorded 49 reports of laser strikes between Jan. 1st and July 15th. The incidents mostly concerned FedEx planes. Agents conducted an investigation the next day, at which time the Memphis International Airport reported yet another laser strike. The laser activity stopped before agents could identify the source. Weeks later on August 11th, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation used an aircraft to investigate more laser activity from the area, this time narrowing down the source to Benton County, Mississippi. Agents soon arrived at a residence to find Conrad “walking around a house while lasering the plane.” He admitted to shining the lasers at incoming planes for “several months,” federal prosecutors say. Conrad now faces up to five years in prison without parole, followed by three years of probation. He’s may also be ordered to pay a $250,000 fine. His sentencing is scheduled for March 10, 2022. The FAA, meanwhile, continues to warn against shining lasers at aircraft following increasing reports of incidents in 2020 (and despite fewer actual planes in the sky). https://bit.ly/3qcE72y

Two Florida deputies were suspended after they were arrested in Key West for an alleged off-duty brawl with Navy sailors over the weekend, authorities said. The fracas early Saturday morning on Duval Street, a popular destination for nightlife in the city, sent one of the sailors to the hospital via helicopter, Key West police said in a press release. Police said officers witnessed the fight between Monroe County deputies Connor Curry, 23, and Trevor Pike, 25, and the sailors. Pike was seen allegedly socking a 27-year-old victim in the face while Curry pushed him, causing the sailor to fall and hit his head, authorities said. The sailor’s condition was unclear. Both deputies were charged with disorderly conduct and Pike is facing an additional charge of felony battery. The two uninjured sailors were also charged with disorderly conduct. The deputies were suspended without pay. (https://bit.ly/3FhMUqh)

34-year-old Sarah Day has deemed herself a “professional cavewoman” who survives on roadkill, including repurposing the skin and bones of the dead animals. The Colchester, Essex, resident said she makes her money as a schoolteacher who educates children on history — and survival skills. Day claimed she eats “roadkill at least once a week, although there isn’t always an animal on the side of the road.” “My freezer is full of roadkill finds, which is handy during the winter because I can defrost the deer or rabbit to make a hearty stew,” she continued, adding that the flavor of rats is “very similar to squirrel — it is mild and sweet. It tastes a little bit like chicken, but much nicer.” Pigeon, on the other hand, reportedly tastes “like a really good beef steak.” Besides just munching on the delicious animal carcasses, Day also likes to turn the skin and guts into leather. The animal skulls are “amazing bits of engineering,” while the bones are used to make tools and weapons. In order to get her daily dose of fiber, Day hunts for her own herbs and fruit too. “I tend to forage plants and fruit, but it is so important to do your research so that you don’t end up very sick,” she said. As for her actual living conditions, Day said she has a house “in the middle of town”; however, she would “rather live in a tent.” She even made her own sleeping bag out of reindeer skin to keep warm at night, as well as “a selection of clothes from roadkill” that she supposedly wears for work.

A Clearwater man was arrested Friday after police said he threatened to use a bomb to kill himself and others at the Judicial Qualification Commission (JQC). According to official documents, 41-year-old Beau Bloomer of Clearwater called a judge from the JQC Friday threatening to blow himself and others up if he lost custody of his child. The judge, who later spoke to authorities, recalled the conversation with Bloomer. “I’m about to do some crazy sh–,” Bloomer allegedly said over the phone, adding that he wanted to be in the room when workers swabbed his child’s mouth. “I tried to stay calm ’cause I didn’t want to cause a scene there, but they weren’t gonna swab my [child] without me there.” The judge added that Bloomer then said, “I’ll get a bomb. Do you think I’m gonna just take myself out? Do you think I’m just gonna kill myself? Do you think I won’t take anyone else out too? I’m telling you I’m about to do some crazy sh–. I will just take care of this myself.” Documents show Bloomer was arrested roughly two hours later and charged with false report of a bomb. Bloomer’s bond was set at $20,000.

A Jacksonville woman is facing serious charges after deputies say she poisoned her boyfriend earlier this month for talking too much. According to an arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, 54-year-old Alvis Parrish put a drug named Seroquel in the victim’s lemonade. When deputies arrived, they say the victim was extremely lethargic. They say Parrish confessed to putting something in his drink. “I gave him just enough to shut him up and called y’all so he wouldn’t die,” said Parrish according to deputies. Deputies said she yelled “do whatever you want, if you don’t take me I will kill him,” as they put her in handcuffs and escorted her to their vehicle. Parrish faces charges of poisoning food or water with intent to kill or injure a person. She is being held on $50,000 bond. (https://bit.ly/326BbwD)

Wildlife officials in Pennsylvania said an escaped African tortoise went for a walk down the middle of a road, prompting 911 calls from concerned residents who feared the animal could be a snapping turtle. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission said 911 calls came in on Sunday reporting a large turtle walking down the middle of a street in Washington County. "The original caller said it was a huge snapper and didn't know what to do with it, so he called 911," Waterways Conservation Officer Jon Stark wrote in a post on the commission's Facebook page. Stark said he rushed to the scene to confirm the creature's species. "If it was as big as they said it was, that's a giant snapping turtle," he wrote. Stark said he arrived to find the 100-pound creature was not dangerous at all -- it was an African tortoise. "This big old turtle just wanted to go for a walk and be free. Still not sure where he got loose from, but now he has a new home and a large area to roam," Stark wrote. (https://bit.ly/3mtMEgL)

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by BetterResultsAdvertising.com

A naked Florida man stole a pickup truck from a dealership, leading police on a pursuit early Wednesday in Melbourne. Melbourne police said 40-year-old Richard Blose was at Fiat of Melbourne before 7:00 a.m. when an employee saw him standing naked in a paint booth before the man got into a 2021 Ram truck. Blose then backed out of the booth in the pickup truck and drove off from the dealership. The Melbourne Police Department said surveillance video showed Blose at the dealership just before 5:00 a.m. wearing only underwear, walking around the business, getting into another car and sitting on its roof for 30 minutes before stealing the Ram. Once police contacted the truck’s owner, officers were able to track the truck and located it going north on Interstate 95. The department said an officer in an unmarked vehicle saw the truck “driving erratic” and striking a guardrail multiple times. Officers said the truck exited in Cocoa before authorities were able to stop Blose and take him into custody. Neighbors on Longbow Road, where the arrest was made, said Blose has a habit of losing his clothes. He was out on bond on a charge of exposing himself just last month. (https://bit.ly/3yG78re)
