Bride Arrested for DUI on Way Home From Bachelorette Party, on Way to Own Wedding

This is why you don't have your bachelor party--or in this case a bachelorette party--the night before your wedding.

Didn't any of you see The Hangover?
A 31-year-old Bellevue woman was arrested early Saturday on supicion of DUI just hours before she was to walk down the aisle, according to the State Patrol.  The woman was pulled over just after 6 a.m. after a trooper spotted her weaving in and out of her lane and driving at more than 90 mph on northbound Interstate 405 near Northeast Eighth Street. The woman told the trooper she was heading home from her bachelorette party in Issaquah and was getting married that afternoon in Burien.

The woman admitted she had been arrested once before for DUI and said she was familiar with the routine, the State Patrol says. Her blood-alcohol level was measured at .146, nearly twice the legal limit in Washington.

Teacher Kelly Finn Blossom Pleads Guilty to Sex With Boy, 16

Ms Blossom was looking at a truckload of jail time, but fortunately for her the young victim in this case decided he didn't want to testify and so the DA had to allow her to plead guilty to a lesser charge and only receive probation and a 20 year suspended sentence. Once again we have to wonder: if Blossom had been a man, would authorities have given him such a light sentence?
A former Northwest Rankin High School teacher accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student will not be going to jail, court officials said.  Kelly Finn Blossom pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of sexual battery and was given a 20-year suspended sentence along with five years probation, court officials said.

Rankin County District Attorney Michael Guest said that he wanted jail time, but the family of the victim asked that the teenager not be called to testify. The boy told investigators that he had sex with Blossom after school and on the weekends at the high school.

Florida Man Arrested for Making Facebook "Friend" Request to Wife Who Had Restraining Order Against Him - Harry William Bruder, Sr

This is what happens when you give grown-ups access to the Internet!

All this guy had to do to stay out of jail is keep away from his estranged wife. The temporary restraining order prohibited Harry William Bruder, Sr from not only being in face-to-face contact with Carole Bruder but from
contacting her by e-mail, Internet messaging or any third party.

Apparently, he didn't get the message that Facebook is on the Internet. His ability to get online will likely be restricted while in jail.
A Hudson man's "friend request" on a social networking website was anything but ignored recently. It landed him in handcuffs on Sunday.  Pasco sheriff's deputies say 54-year-old Harry William Bruder Sr. violated the conditions of a domestic violence injunction against him July 20 when he friend-requested his estranged wife on Facebook.

On June 25, Bruder was served with the restraining order his wife, Carole Jean Bruder, 61, obtained from Pasco Judge Candy VanDercar. The injunction prohibits Bruder from not only being in face-to-face contact with Carole Bruder but from contacting her by e-mail, Internet messaging or any third party.

Carole Bruder contacted deputies Sunday after she discovered her e-mail password had been changed and she suspected her husband. She also told deputies that he twice friend-requested her on Facebook, the second time being July 22.

Male Flight Attendant Steven Slater Has "Bad Day" Curses on PA System, Grabs Beers, Activates Slide to Make Escape

 UPDATE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13: Video of Steven Slater's Slide! - TMZ says this video footage of Slater's slide to freedom was obtained by the folks at WNBC in New York and was captured by surveillance cameras at JFK airport on Monday. Enjoy!

View more news videos at: http://www.nbcnewyork.com/video.




UPDATE: Several readers have written in to suggest how much Steven Slater looks like a scene stealer in the movie "Airplane." We did a little research and found a picture of Johnny, played by Steven Stucker. At right, a picture of Johnny. Below, Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater. Hmmm.


You have to wonder how long Jet Blue flight attendant Steven "You've Hit My Last Nerve!" Slater had been thinking about this one. If it just happened on the spur of the moment, he's got quite the flare for the dramatic. We think he probably fantasized about this one for a while though. Here's the basics of the story: Stevie was working on a Jet Blue flight from Pittsburgh to JFK in New York and the plane was landing when a female passenger got up WAY too early to get her bag from the overhead compartment. (You know the type,) When Slater approached the passenger she cursed him out and somehow struck him in the head with a bag. When she refused to apologize, he got on the plane's PA system and cursed out everyone, then grabbed some beers and his luggage, opened the door and activated the emergency slide which he jumped on and used to scoot of the plane and into the terminal. Authorities did catch up to him, but that's one flight those passengers will never forget!

Here's more from NBC New York (video clip from PIX 11 below):
A flight attendant ran out of patience on a plane that just landed at JFK on Monday afternoon, so he allegedly cursed a blue streak over the p.a. system, grabbed some beers, pulled the emergency chute, slid down and ran from the plane, sources said.

Jet Blue employee Steven Slater, 38, was working on Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh to Kennedy Airport, which landed at around 12 p.m., when he got into a verbal altercation with a passenger, law-enforcement sources said.  Following a heated exchange, the flight attendant told off the entire plane on the public address system, activated an emergency chute near the back of the plane and jumped down the evacuation slide and ran for it.

The argument began when one of the 100 passengers on the flight, got up early to get her luggage from an overhead compartment, according to sources. Slater told the passenger to sit back down -- but, as he approached, the woman continued to pull her belongings down and struck him in the head with her bag, authorities said.

Slater asked for an apology but the woman cursed him out, saying in effect "go f--k yourself" and calling him a "mo-fo," according to law enforcement sources who are still sorting out the specifics. Then Slater got on the flight's announcement system and allegedly cursed out everyone on the plane -- especially the person who mouthed off to him, according to law enforcement sources.

When his tirade was through, he then took a some beers from the galley and pulled the emergency chute and slid off the Embraer 190 plane. According to police sources, he threw his luggage down first and said something to the effect of "there goes 28 years," before he took the plunge.  After getting down the slide, Slater took off into the terminal, law-enforcement sources said.

The steward was "having a bad day," sources said.

Woman Arrested After Fight With Underage Boyfriend

If you're going to start dating a boy 12 years younger than you, then move into his mom's house, don't stay out late with his teenaged sister. If you do, he might start a domestic incident that would land your ass in jail when the cops find out you're dating a minor.

Dumbass.
During an investigation into a domestic disturbance, authorities arrested a 29-year-old woman after they learned she had been having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy for the past year, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s officials said.

Kimberly Turpin of Victorville was booked for unlawful sex with a minor and spousal battery late Monday night.  Deputies James Marshall and Gary Scheidemantle responded to a domestic dispute call at a home in the 12900 block of Fourth Street at about 11:30 p.m.

When they arrived they learned the 17-year-old had become upset when he learned Turpin and his teenage sister had been out later than he expected.  “He started throwing his girlfriend and sister’s stuff out of the house,” Karen Hunt, spokeswoman for the Victorville station, said.  As the deputies continued to investigate the battery they discovered the boyfriend was a minor and that the two had been living together at the teen’s mother’s house since he was 16, Hunt said.

Michigan Man Fraudulently Claims $10 Million Dollar Film Tax Credit

The State of Michigan wants to movie making to the state and offers producers a 25% tax credit if you make your film here. The key point of that law is that you ACTUALLY HAVE TO MAKE A MOVIE in the state to get the credit. You can't just claim the credit for watching that DVD you brought home from Blockbuster.

Joseph Peters, 46, is to be arraigned soon in 61st District Court near Grand Rapids on one count of attempted felony false pretenses over $20,000. The charge, which carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison, stems from an ongoing investigation into a Michigan Film Tax credit application Peters filed with the Michigan Film Office, according to a statement issued today by the Michigan Attorney General's office.

"With Michigan taxpayers already dealing with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, it is a kick in the gut when someone tries to defraud them," Attorney General Mike Cox said in a statement.  Michigan offers a 25 percent tax credit through the Michigan Film Office for investments in movie production infrastructure.

Peters applied for a tax credit claiming his company, West Michigan Film, purchased a large film production studio, known as Hangar42, for $40 million. An investigation concluded no transfer of property ever took place, and the application was denied when Peters could not document the investment, according to the attorney general.

Teen Steals Credit Cards to Play Video Games, Leads Cops to Parents Weed Farm

There is all sorts of stupid in this story! First, you have the typically nerdy kid, Trevor Miller, needing cash to play Internet video games, so he steals a credit card. Of course, the police are able to trace the stolen cards by the purchases Miller made right to his home in Buffalo Grove, a Chicago suburb. Once there though, the kid is the least of their concern as officers find pot growing at his home. The kid's pot? No, the operation allegedly belongs to Miller's parents, James, 52, and Cindy, 50, who were both charged with unlawful production of marijuana. In the end, everyone gets arrested and we can be pretty sure that Thanksgiving at the Miller home will be a little strained this year.
Police had been investigating multiple fraudulent online orders and downloads stemming from a report of a Lincolnshire car burglary in July. In that case, the victim’s credit card was taken from his vehicle.  Lincolnshire and Buffalo Grove police departments, U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents and investigators from the Lake County State’s Attorney Office put together enough information to get a search warrant for 843 Dunhill Drive, Buffalo Grove.

Trevor Miller, 17, was determined to have been downloading online games and buying “virtual gold coins” with stolen credit cards. He was charged with identity theft, burglary, unlawful use of a credit card, computer fraud, and unlawful production of marijuana plants.

While searching the house and property, police found three marijuana plants inside and three plants outside of the house.

Teacher Arrested for DUI on Way to School

How awful must the kids in your class be to be drunk on your way in to teach in the morning? We're not excusing what Twin Cities middle school teacher Sarah Bjerke did, but you have to wonder. And she wasn't just allegedly a little tipsy: Bjerke reportedly blew a .133 % BAC, nearly twice the legal limit.
38-year-old Sarah Bjerke was headed to Crosswinds Middle School in Woodbury the morning of July 22nd when she was pulled over. According to a criminal complaint, a State Patrol trooper stopped Bjerke for speeding, but smelled alcohol. The State Patrol says Bjerke had a blood alcohol level of .133. Bjerke has two previous DWI convictions, one in January of 2008, the other from October of 2009.

School district officials say Bjerke should not have been hired in January of 2010, calling it unacceptable, but say she did go through a background check. The superintendent says Bjerke is no longer with the district because of prior disciplinary problems unrelated to the DWI arrest.

Hot Female Teacher, 34, Accused of Sex With Underage Student - Diana Eckes Canter

Another day, another hot looking female teacher accused of sexing up one of her male students. This time, the story comes to us from Christiansburg, VA where the teacher, Diana Eckes Canter, is charged with 8 counts of "custodial sexual intercourse with a minor." Does that mean she was wearing a ring of keys on her belt when they had sex? Or maybe she was sprinkling sawdust on some vomit while they did it? Any lawyers out there know what "custodial sex" is?
Diana Eckes Canter, a former Christiansburg High School teacher, is facing charges of having sex with a student.  Christiansburg police say 34-year-old is charged with eight counts of custodial sexual intercourse with a minor.  Police believe none of the alleged incidents occurred on school property and say the incidents happened between Dec. 2008 and Aug. 2009.
