Drunk Driver Arrested on Golf Cart

Drunk on the highway at 2:30 am driving 16 mph . . . on a golf cart. Yeah, that'll get you arrested . . . if it doesn't get you killed first?

Jody Lovekin, 48, 2936 S. County Road 800 East, is charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The misdemeanor offense was elevated to a Class D felony due to a prior drunk-driving conviction within the past five years, police said. Sheriff's Deputy Derek Allen was on Indiana 4 near Fish Lake at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday when he spotted a vehicle a radar gun revealed was traveling 16 miles per hour along the highway's edge. The officer got closer, then realized the slow-moving vehicle was a golf cart.
Because of a new state law that prevents golf carts on roadways, police said a traffic stop was made, and it was discovered Lovekin had been drinking. A certified test later revealed a .15 percent blood alcohol level.

Drunk Man Blows .40% BAC, Five Times Legal Limit!

Now that's some heavy drinking! Most people are dead above .30% and even fewer have enough coordination to walk, much less operate a motor vehicle.

Scottsdale police on Wednesday detained a man whom they allege registered a preliminary blood alcohol level of .40, which is five times the legal limit for driving. Doran Sears, 37, was stopped by officers near North 100th Street and North Thompson Peak Parkway in Scottsdale shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Police allege that a preliminary breath test yielded .40, but official results of a blood draw that was conducted were pending, said Scottsdale Police Department spokesman Officer Dave Pubins.

Wife Hits Husband With Phone After He Complains About Undercooked Food

I'll bet Thanksgiving is a real hoot at this house!

A woman in southwest Florida has been arrested after deputies say she assaulted her husband for complaining about her cooking. A Lee County Sheriff's Office arrest report shows 66-year-old Meredith Hart Mulcahy of Bonita Springs was charged with battery on an elderly person Tuesday night. Deputies say her husband, 71-year-old Richard Johnson, got into an argument with her about undercooked potatoes and burnt bread. He went to the bedroom and began eating, and authorities say Mulcahy then threw a phone at him. Deputies say she became belligerent in the back seat of the patrol car and earlier yelled, "she burned the bread she was cooking because she was so intoxicated." She was in the Lee County Jail on Wednesday pending a $1,500 bond.

Cemetery Workers Dig Up Old Graves, Sell Them As New, Rather Than "Gently Used"

From our "Why Didn't I Think of That?" Department: Workers at a cemetery dug up bodies and resold burial plots in an attempt to make a little extra money . . . approximately $300,00 extra. Then, of course, they just dumped the "old" bodies in a back corner of the site. Didn't anyone think that SOMEONE might catch on to this little scam eventually?

Employees at a historic African-American cemetery near Chicago allegedly dug up more than 100 graves as part of an off-the-books scheme to resell burial plots to unsuspecting customers, authorities said Wednesday.
Dozens of graves at Burr Oak Cemetery were desecrated by workers as part of a financial scheme, authorities say.

Dozens of graves at Burr Oak Cemetery were desecrated by workers as part of a financial scheme, authorities say.  Cook County authorities began investigating the cemetery about six weeks ago after receiving a call from the owners of Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois, located about 20 miles south of Chicago. The owners had concerns about possible "illegalities going on" regarding finances at the business, said Sheriff Tom Dart. "What we found was beyond startling and revolting," Dart told reporters at the cemetery.

The workers at Burr Oak, where lynching victim Emmett Till, blues legend Dinah Washington and some Negro League baseball players are buried among others, allegedly resold the plots, disinterred the bodies, dumped the remains and pocketed the cash, Dart said.

Drunk Woman Arrested for Breast Feeding Baby

If you breast feed your kid and your drunk, is that like serving them booze?

Police responding to a domestic disturbance arrived at Stacey Anvarinia's home to find the mother breast-feeding her 6-week-old baby in front of them. And she was drunk, they said.

Officers arrested the woman, who later pleaded guilty to child neglect and faces up to five years in prison. Now her case has touched off a debate among moms about breast-feeding, alcohol — and privacy.

Since Anvarinia's arrest, blogs have been abuzz with comments questioning whether breast-feeding mothers could risk criminal charges if they drink even modest amounts. Authorities insist police were right to make the arrest, even if the mother had not been breast-feeding, out of concern for the child's welfare.

"Since when is breast-feeding while drunk a crime?" said Dr. Amy Tuteur, a retired obstetrician and gynecologist in Boston who has been following the case on her Web site, the Skeptical OB.

Woman Arrested for Trying to Bring Gun Into Courthouse

And not just any gun, but a loaded gun that--according to the accused--she left in her purse after "target practice." And she apparently didn't have time to removed it before accompanying her boyfriend to some kind of paternity hearing. Oh, now things are starting to make some sense . . .

Tammy Dobbin, of far south suburban Beecher, was arrested and charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, a felony, after a sheriff’s deputy discovered the gun in her book bag. She is jailed in lieu of $100,000 bond. Dobbin had no business in court Tuesday, authorities said, but was accompanying her boyfriend to a paternity courtroom at 32 W. Randolph. .

She was stopped at a security checkpoint outside a courtroom, like everyone else, and an X-ray machine revealed she had a solid metal object in her book bag, authorities said. Sheriff's Deputy Jennifer Matthews asked about it, but Dobbin said she knew nothing about such an object in her back, authorities say. When the deputy opened the bag, she found a 9mm — loaded with 10 live rounds and equipped with a laser pointer.

Elementary School Teacher Busted for Running Meth Lab

Once again we ask, are we not paying our teachers enough money?

Police arrested an elementary school teacher and two others in a raid on a suspected meth lab in Kenner. Investigators found drug-making ingredients and equipment inside the house, along with a small amount of a clear substance that tested positive for crystal meth. "Was it just for personal use or were they selling," said Kenner Police Chief Steve Caraway. "I would probably think if they're making their own use, they were probably trying to sell some of this drug."

Hot Baby in Car Alert: Greenville, Alabama

It's time of year again: when moms (and dads) pack the kids in the car, head to the mall (or liquor store or strip club) park and leave their toddlers locked inside while the temperature reaches 100 degrees. Why does this continue to happen when every time someone gets arrested CNN's Nancy Grace goes nuts and does a whole week of shows about the incident? (Maybe I'm the only one watching her show?)

Mom Arrested After Toddlers Found Home Alone, Eating Dog Food

According to young mom Samantha Abernathy, 19, she left her 2 and 3-year-old sons home alone about 2 am Sunday for just a short while to go see her ex-boyfriend. Her excuse? She fully expected the boy's father to show up at 9 am. He didn't and apparently the hungry toddlers went in search of food . . . near the dumpster in the parking lot of the apartment complex where the family lived.

Police said a neighbor spotted the kids at the complex near University Drive and Gilbert Road. Their mother was nowhere to be found. Investigators said when the finally figured out which apartment the 2-year-old and 3-year-old lived in, the found the door wide open and feces all over the floor.

"I'm told there was a lock on the refrigerator and there was more beer than food in that fridge," said Sgt. Ed Wessing, spokesperson for the Mesa Police Department.
Police said they saw the younger child go directly to the pantry and start eating dog food.

“We don’t know if this child routinely eats dog food, but I can tell you when our officers felt bad enough they went and purchased food themselves out of their own money and brought it to these kids, they ate it like they were extremely hungry," said Sgt. Wessing. "It's unbelievable, those poor little things. I just can't imagine," said Joann Duplessis, a neighbor.

Samantha Abernathy, 20, the children’s mother, was booked for child endangerment. Investigators said Abernathy, who worked at Centerfold Cabaret, claimed to have left around 2 a.m. on Sunday to help a friend. Court records show she returned at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday -- nearly 9 hours later -- and did not find anyone to watch her kids.

"How could you possibly leave a 2 and 3-year old alone for five minutes, let alone more than eight hours, and that’s what she's admitting to. It could be longer,” said Sgt. Wessing. “How many times has this happened?"
