A man in Alabama who was accused of burglarizing multiple vehicles allegedly led the pursuing officers on a chase and crashed into several police cars before he was arrested.

According to reports, on August 27 in the historic college town of Auburn, at least three vehicle owners found that they were missing personal items from their cars, which they believed had been burglarized. When one of the alleged victims of the purported thefts notified the authorities, he reported that the perpetrator was spotted while they were in his vehicle. The police opened an investigation and began searching for the suspect. It didn’t take long for the officers to spot the man they believed was responsible for the thefts, as he was driving a car in the same neighborhood, but it was reportedly far from easy for law enforcement to catch him.

A Florida woman is facing several charges for allegedly performing dental procedures without a license on individuals who later required emergency surgery to save their teeth.

According to reports, a woman who advertised discount veneers on social media was arrested in Hillsborough County in March for allegations that she performed procedures on individuals and accepted money for them, but was not a licensed dentist. After the arrest, she allegedly reopened shop at a beauty bar in Pinellas Park and continued attaching veneers. Over the summer, two individuals notified the authorities after reportedly having work done. They informed them that they had to undergo emergency surgery to save their teeth because they developed infections after the procedures. Another alleged customer reported that she was told the veneers would last between five and seven years, but they kept falling out. She said she asked for a refund, but she was denied and then ignored by the woman.

Investigators looked into the situation and reportedly found that the woman had not gone to school or been trained in dentistry, and she was not licensed to practice in the state of Florida. They believed that instead of doing it properly, she used crazy glue or nail glue to affix the veneers.
