Another Mother of the Year Award...

FAIL! While chaperoning her daughter's  school field trip in Wayne, Wisconsin, a woman overdosed on heroin. Nice. At some point during their trip to Pioneer Village, chaperone Stephanie Bailey, who was accompanying her 7 year old daughter, decided to take a trip to the bathroom to get stoned. When she never returned, one of the parents went to check on her. She found Bailey passed out on the bathroom floor next to some hypodermic needles. She at first thought Bailey was a diabetic until she noticed a glass pipe. First aid was administered and police were called. She was awake when police arrived, and claimed she took both oxy-contin and heroin the night before to celebrate her birthday. They found four baggies of heroin, 2 pills, a metal spoon, a clear glass pipe, alcohol pads, hypodermic needles, rubber tubing, 2 containers of sterile water, and a lighter. Wow, her get-high kit was fully stocked.
I will never understand why she decided to chaperone the field trip if she wanted to get super-crazy stoned. Why not just stay home?? If she had stayed her behind home, she could've done whatever she wanted, and no one would have known. Now her kid is humiliated and everyone knows mommy is a druggie.

Dog Takes a 700 Mile Walk

A Denver woman found a cute little dog named Leia strolling around her neighborhood all alone. She called the number on the dog's collar and discovered Leia has been missing from her home in El Paso, Texas, 700 miles away. Her owners were so excited, they made a trip to Denver to pick up their beloved pooch. "To find out she's been missing for two years, I can just imagine how her family's going to be," said Annmarie Anderson, the woman who found Leia. How in God's name did a ten pound dog get all the way from Texas to Colorado? Your guess is as good as mine! I can't imagine she actually walked that whole way. I bet she got out of her yard, was stolen by someone and brought to Denver, and then got out of their yard.
But who knows, maybe she's Super Dog. Kind of like Mighty Mouse, but a dog.

Look What I Brought!

A kindergartner in Sweet Springs, Missouri was asked to bring some pictures of his family to school for show and tell. Instead, he thought it would be a swell idea to go the extra step, and bring his mom's meth pipe and an ounce of meth.  The young boy was very excited to display the pipe and several baggies of drugs totaling about $3700. His innocent enthusiasm is hilarious to me. Sweet Springs Elementary school contacted police, who then arrested the boy's mother (duh). Michelle Marie Cheatham, 32, was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and one count of child endangerment in the first degree. Despite Marie posting bail, her son is in the custody of  relatives. Sources say Marie's life began going downhill after she received a large amount of money after her husband died in a car crash earlier this year.

Justice Served

Surveillance cameras at a convenience store in Houston, TX caught amazing footage of a botched robbery that ended pretty badly for the thieves. The footage captures two men storm into the store armed with a gun. A clerk-in-training is shot in the leg  by one of the robbers while his accomplice, 22 year old Harold Robertson, hops over the counter and starts searching through the shelves. A few seconds later, a second clerk snatches up his hidden gun and fires at Robertson hitting him twice in the upper body. Then we see Robertson hurl himself back over the counter, clearly in pain, and gets the hell out of dodge.

He fled to the house across the street and told the homeowner, Gerald Kilpatrick, that he was carjacked and shot. Robertson stayed on the porch while a suspicious Kilpatrick called the police. Robertson was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. He is going straight to jail right after he gets out of the hospital. His partner and getaway driver are still at large. The injured clerk was released from the hospital and I'm guessing he is now willingly unemployed. This incident is yet more proof that working at a convenient store is one the most dangerous jobs.

She Took Matters Into Her Own Hands...

A substitute teacher at Clover Middle School in Clover, SC has been arrested for punching a student in the face. The student claims when he threw a pen in the trash, the teacher became enraged with anger and punched him in the face with her fist. The teacher, Elizabeth Robinson, admits she became angry with the student slapped him in the face with an open hand, not a fist. After being questioned, Robinson was escorted from the classroom and arrested for assault and battery.

Of course, I don't condone the teacher hitting the student, but he must have been giving her a pretty hard time for her to snap like that. Just saying. Kids can be mean little jerks, especially with a substitute. Today's generation of kids in particular have no respect for authority and are increasingly influenced by what they see on TV. I'm sure Robinson did what thousands of teachers wished they could do.

Conceited Idiot

On Sept 26 in Georgia, a woman made a stop at a daycare center to pick up her child. She forgot to lock her car door. Upon returning home, she discovered that her purse was missing. Later on, the victim went on her Facebook page, and noticed a picture of a man with dreadlocks and gold teeth has been uploaded on her page. It was a picture of the thief who stole her phone. He clearly didn't know her phone settings automatically posted any picture taken. The idiot might as well turn himself in because he basically gave police his picture. Police Major Jason Bolton claims, "We don’t normally get pictures with this sort of clarity, and it’s just real exciting to have a picture that the quality is this good that we can put out there.” Whoever this thief is, he is his own worst enemy.

A Santa Fe Beatdown

In a grocery store parking lot in Santa Fe, NM a man driving a pick-up truck hit a 5 year old girl that  darted in front of his car. When Derrick Manuel stopped his vehicle to check on the girl, three of her relatives jumped him despite the fact that it wasn't his fault.  They beat the living crap out of him, and it had to be broken up by witnesses. Maybe they should have gone and beat up the person in charge of the girl, because it was clearly their fault for letting her bolt in front of a car. The girl suffered minor injuries, and Manuel suffered contusions, swelling, and cuts to his face and body. Manuel wasn't arrested in the incident, because surveillance video proved it was obviously an accident. Unbelievably, the thugs who jumped Manuel weren't arrested either. Lt. Louis Carlos ridiculously stated, "Because we didn't witness the fight or the punching, it falls in the realm of a misdemeanor." Really officer? In order for someone to be arrested for battery they have to assault the victim right in front of a cop huh? That makes a whole lot of sense.
Even though the surveillance video shows Manuel was not speeding, the child's mother thinks he got off too easy. "He was in the wrong by running the stop sign and speeding when there’s families, there’s kids, there are newborns,” said Patrece Visarraga. She is obviously trying to deflect the blame of not paying attention to her child. I mean, I can understand being pissed that your child was hit, but at least accept the blame for being irresponsible.
