A cosmetology instructor in Southwest Louisiana who was arrested last week for her alleged involvement in a domestic violence incident is also facing charges for reportedly pushing a police officer and possessing illegal prescription drugs.

When law enforcement responds to a domestic violence call, they sometimes uncover other illegal activity during their investigation that leads to the suspect facing a stack of criminal allegations. According to reports, one such instance occurred on September 8 at a home in Vinton. While there are currently limited details about what happened during the alleged domestic incident, it was reported that the person the police believed was the aggressor was a 44-year-old woman who teaches cosmetology at West Orange-Stark High School.

When the authorities were notified about the potential domestic unrest, officers from the Vinton Police Department went to the address to investigate. The woman, whom they believed was intoxicated, allegedly shoved one of the officers while they were interacting. She was taken to a local hospital for a medical assessment and any necessary treatment. After she was released, the woman was transported and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center.

A Florida man was arrested when he reportedly celebrated his birthday by using methamphetamine and picking up passengers with a sightseeing train that he allegedly hijacked.

According to their website, the Conch Tour Train in Key West provides a “close-up view of the Southernmost City’s most popular places, including Mallory Square, Sails to Rails Museum, the Key West Aquarium and more.” On July 4, a 57-year-old man went to the depot and talked to one of the employees.

A marijuana grower in Rhode Island whose grow site license was reportedly placed on a temporary hold was allegedly caught with an estimated 250 pounds of pot in the back of a U-Haul truck.

According to reports, a 44-year-old man from Brooklyn, New York, was a marijuana cultivator at a site in Hope Valley, Rhode Island.
