Mom Cooks Meth Today, Food Tomorrow
April 27th, 2009 by Rick
On Thursday, Roxanne Halvorson, 38, of Grand Forks, North Dakota, reached a plea agreement of 2.5 years in prison and a supervised probation for being an accomplice to manufacturing meth, possessing drug paraphernalia and child endangerment. Her sentencing hearing is being held on June 16.
Last year, on November 15th, Halvorson let her nephew, Derik Ostlund, 20, and his girlfriend, Candy Reed, 33, cook and use methamphetamine in her duplex — while her children were home. A fire erupted, apparently caused by heated meth pipes. Nobody was hurt, but nine people, including four that lived above the duplex lost their homes in the blaze.
Reed was sentenced to 4 years in prison and 4 years supervised probation for making methamphetamine and reckless endangerment. Ostlund is scheduled to be sentenced May 27, facing the same charges.
Britney Doesn’t Want You to Smoke Herb
April 13th, 2009 by ErinIt’s Britney, bitch.
It’s not enough that her fans are still in support after the ridiculous amount of crap she’s pulled over the past few years or what a horrible example she’s set to her younger audience, but now they have to listen to her preach about what not to do. Pulling the most controversial stunts out of any celebrity in recent memory, is she really in any place to tell people to not smoke weed?
A word of advice to Ms. Spears: Don’t drive away the people who, (for whatever reason,) still pay to watch you lip-synch and waddle on stage. It’s possible they’re smoking weed because it’s one of the few things that will actually help them enjoy your show. You said that shit in Canada no less!
Microwave Used as Ultimate Crack Tool
April 13th, 2009 by Russ
Spending long hours traveling back and forth to your local lab? Tired of lining up huge networks of hydroponics to get the grow houses running? Then, drop all that effort-intensive work and try some crack today! And all you need to start is a microwave oven. It’s the easy, breezy way to create your very own illegal narcotics.
According to the TCPalm, Javaris Kirk, of Fort Pierce, Florida, was arrested last week after allegedly admitting to making crack-cocaine with his microwave oven. Mr. Kirk later admitted that he was a convicted felon and, as such, felt a special bond with Martha Stewart.
Authorities searching his home also found five ecstasy tablets in his bathroom, a 9mm pistol with no serial, and a homemade tea cozy crafted out of extra table cloth. Jokes aside, don’t do crack.
Young Boys Arrive High to School, Parents Arrested
April 7th, 2009 by Rick
Two boys, ages 7 and 8, showed up to Cleveland Elementary School in New York, apparently stoned from smoking marijuana. A third, 15-year old boy, was also arrested and accused of designing a smoking device for the two other boys. State Police showed up at the home of 33-year old James Tysco and 34-year old Christina Miczek, the parents of the boys and arrested them on Wednesday for endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. After an investigation, it was believed that the boys smoked the marijuana after finding it in their homes.
I wasn’t aware there was a test that could tell a cop that a person has been smoking marijuana. The article says nothing about the school or the police catching them in the act or finding any marijuana on them. It’s apparent that the kids were questioned by the police, which led them back to their parents’ home.
This is just sheer parental responsibilty because their children are far too young to smoke weed. Regardless it doesn’t take away the fact for conducting a proper investigation and protecting the rights of minors. This case should be thrown out and the parents should have to attend some classes on common sense. Unfortunately if common sense was a high school subject, not many people would be graduating.
Man Pays Ticket with Urine-Soaked Coins
March 31st, 2009 by Silvio
After receiving a $206 traffic fine, a Washington man decided to let the state know how he feels. He collected $206 in coins, put them in a plastic bag and mailed the whole thing in a nice box to Multnomah County court. After he urinated in the bag, of course.
According to postal officials it’s not illegal to mail any bodily fluids, as long as they don’t leek and/or smell. And as county employees attested, this was not the case.
What the angry citizen didn’t take into account was, that the maximum amount of coins he can use to pay for his ticket, is limited to $20. So the spoiled money was returned, a late fee and postage added and the whole fine is now up to $271.
But at least the county doesn’t intend to pursue the matter, if everything is paid.
Peep the video from a news broadcast after the jump.
UK Police Mistakes Private Workshop for Weed Farm
March 3rd, 2009 by Silvio
A police helicopter of the West Yorkshire, UK Police picked up a heat pattern from a house, and the authorities assumed they discovered a so-called “cannabis factory.” British officers didn’t waste any time, and after the necessary search warrant was obtained, they sent a team to the house in question to further investigate.
And further investigate they did. The fact that the door was locked and the bars on the windows must have aroused suspicions. After all, who keeps his doors locked if he has nothing to hide, right?
So they kicked down the door, and turned the place upside down. And what looked like the heat signature of a high profile marijuana grow OP from 1000 feet, turned out to be a stove in the workshop of Rowe, 41, a college technician and model citizen with no former convictions whatsoever.
When Rowe returned home, he didn’t find any officers explaining anything to him, just a kicked down door, and a mess in his workshop. The police did however state later, they left the door in a “secure state” when they left, probably to prevent a break-in. They also agreed to pay £200 for repairs.
Do It with Cheap Sunglasses and Crack
February 18th, 2009 by Perry
Have you ever thought that maybe the safest way to get away with smoking weed would be to do it in plain sight, where police would never expect it? … Me neither.
But if you have, you should probably hang out with this guy. Regardless, Gregory Pracht, 33, of El Paso, is a strong candidate for Dumbass of the Month. Pracht allegedly entered a Target, began stealing stuff, lit up some weed and then walked out of the store with stolen sunglasses on — slick. He was arrested shortly after leaving the store when he was identified by a security guard who was watching him.
As officers placed Pracht, who had a dog with him, in custody, The El Paso Times reported he allegedly lunged at the arresting officer and struck him, after cocaine was also found in his possession. Pracht was in jail shortly thereafter on a $35,310 bond.
Do NOT Smoke on Saudi Arabian Airlines
February 5th, 2009 by SilvioA passenger on a flight from Kurajat in the north of Saudi-Arabia to Dschidda, located at the red sea, refused to stop smoking during the flight and will have to face some serious charges for not giving into repeated requests of the staff to finish his cigarette.
Apparently Saudi-Arabia is a bit more concerned about the health of its citizens than other countries. Why else would they want to punish the guy with a serious whipping? And by whipping I actually mean the punishment will be 30 hits with something that looks more or less like this:
After he found out in court, the authorities will actually go through with this, the man tried to apologize for his awful crime. He even tried the line of, “I just can’t help myself…can’t I go to rehab instead?”. No luck Ace. The whipping is still on.
I guess the lesson here is, a country known for its brutal and unusual justice system is not the place to start an argument about laws on, well, anything really. No matter how badly you need a smoke…
