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.
