Woman Tells Cop She Bought 'Bad Crack'
Monday, December 18, 2006 9:01 PM EST
The Associated Press


HAWTHORNE, Fla. (AP) — A North Carolina woman was arrested after complaining to a police officer that the crack cocaine she had just purchased wasn't very good, authorities said.

Eloise D. Reaves, 50, approached the Putnam County sheriff's deputy at a convenience store Friday, telling him that another man had sold her "bad crack" that contained wax and cocaine.

She pulled an alleged crack rock out of her mouth and placed it on the deputy's car for inspection, the Palatka Daily News reported for Tuesday editions.

The deputy told Reaves that she would be arrested if the crack tested positive for cocaine.

She was charged with possession of cocaine and bonded out for $1,504.

Cops Put 2 on Ice After Frosty Stabbing
Monday, December 18, 2006 5:48 PM EST
The Associated Press


CINCINNATI (AP) — Two Christmas grinches were arrested Monday, accused of stabbing a 12-foot-tall inflatable Frosty the snowman with a screwdriver. The Hamilton County Sheriff's office said two 18-year-olds were charged with criminal damaging, and the investigation continues to snowball.

The assault on Frosty was caught on tape when homeowner Matt Williquette set up a motion-sensitive video camera in a tree in his yard because the snowman had fallen victim to two earlier attacks.

The inflatable, the biggest figure in his Christmas display in suburban Colerain Township, was punctured with a screwdriver Sunday night, for the third time.

Williquette had used white masking tape to patch over Frosty the first two times.

"The question I have is, 'Why me?' And why Frosty?" Williquette asked. "I had more (decorations) to put out there but with Frosty going down, I wasn't going to chance it."

Police said they arrested one young man at his Colerain Township home and the second turned himself in.

At one point Monday, the sheriff's office, which investigated with the Colerain Township police department, said in a statement: "The investigation continues to snowball."

In a separate act of holiday vandalism, a 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy were charged Monday with criminal damaging. Authorities accused the two of taking a decorative candy cane from another Colerain Township yard early Saturday morning and smashing it on the owner's vehicle, causing $1,000 in damage.

JAY, Okla. (AP) — Police arrested a woman after finding marijuana in a Christmas card she tried to give her jailed boyfriend. Dawn E. Smith, 44, of Grove, was arrested in connection with the incident at the Delaware County Jail.

She is accused of trying to distribute a controlled substance and bringing a controlled substance into a jail.

Her boyfriend, Steven McRae Jones, 26, pleaded guilty on Nov. 1 to charges that he repeatedly rammed Smiths car and took a swing at the arresting officer.

He is awaiting transport to the Department of Corrections, where he will serve four years.

Judge Makes 23 Spend Christmas in Jail
Monday, December 18, 2006 5:12 PM EST
The Associated Press


COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Twenty-three people who took plea agreements to avoid prison time in Franklin County will get a taste of life behind bars this Christmas — by spending the holiday in jail.

As part of their sentences from Common Pleas Judge Michael Holbrook, the men and woman agreed to spend four days, including Christmas, in jail each year they are on probation. The judge even has a name for it: a "Holbrook holiday."

Holbrook says he got the idea from a federal prison program that makes convicts on probation serve national holidays behind bars.

"I wanted to send a message to those who were borderline and may have a chance to go to prison. If they're not Christian in nature, I can use some other day, like their birthday," Holbrook said. "It's a reminder of where they could be going, if nothing else."

People given the deal must report to jail on Dec. 22 and will be released on Dec. 26.

Those who follow the rules can get out of going back to jail for another Christmas, while those who break them can get sent to prison, said Brian Stein, a senior probation officer.

"He gives us the discretion to decide," Stein said. "It's an alternative to prison, so I've never had anybody really complain."

Only two of the 15 people required to spend Christmas in jail last year failed to show up. Five of them have earned a pass this year.

Man Sorry for Taking Handicapped Spot
Saturday, December 16, 2006 7:35 AM EST
The Associated Press


UNION, S.C. (AP) — A man who parked illegally in a space reserved for handicapped drivers was sentenced to stand outside the store with a sign telling everyone about his crime.

Ragheem Smith, 29, stood in front of a Bi-Lo grocery store Thursday with a handmade sign that read "I am not handicapped. I just parked there, sorry."

Magistrate Jeff Bailey imposed the sentence. "I figured he needed to apologize in a public way," Bailey said.

Smith told Bailey he didn't have the money and couldn't afford the time away from work that a jail sentence would require. He could have been sentenced to 30 days in jail or fined $325.

"That was better than having to pay a lot of money," Smith said of his punishment. "I know I won't do it no more."

Man Given Costume Option for Slaying Dog
Saturday, December 16, 2006 7:32 AM EST
The Associated Press


PAINESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — A man who shot his Great Dane in the head may have his jail sentence reduced if he dresses up as a dog.

Municipal Judge Michael Cicconetti offered Thursday to cut Robert M. Clark's sentence to 10 days in jail if he wears a Safety Pup costume and visits the city's five elementary schools. The mascot educates children about issues ranging from traffic safety to drug abuse.

Clark, 38, pleaded no contest to an animal cruelty charge and was sentenced to 180 days in jail for shooting his dog.

Cicconetti suspended all but 30 days of Clark's sentence if he pays the Lake County Human Society for the dog's veterinarian bills. The judge then offered to cut an additional 20 days if Clark dresses up as Safety Pup.

Clark was arrested July 3 after neighbors reported hearing the dog's cries and police found the injured animal. The humane society took the dog to an emergency veterinary clinic, but he suffered brain damage and had to be euthanized, the group said.

Clark is appealing the sentence, court officials said.

W.Va. Man Drives Oldsmobile on 3 Tires
Friday, December 15, 2006 9:56 PM EST
The Associated Press


BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) — David Woods' Oldsmobile obviously needed some work, lest of which was a fourth tire. But that didn't stop the 30-year-old Meadow Bridge man from driving the older model car on three tires and a rim to the local auto parts store Wednesday night.

He didn't make it far.

Beckley Police Detective Sgts. Dean Bailey and Gant Montgomery said the car was speeding and "all over the road."

Police also noticed that the car's front fender was off and debris was falling from the car. As the officers caught up with the Oldsmobile, it swerved sideways, apparently because it was riding on three tires and a rim.

The car finally stopped behind an auto parts store.

Police later arrested Woods and charged him with driving under the influence after he failed field sobriety tests.

Bailey said the man told him he was en route to Auto Zone to buy parts for his car and thought he could make it.
