Authorities in Palm Beach reported that an incident unfolded in the midtown beach area late last month, leading to the arrest of a man accused of using a dead hog as part of a social media stunt.

Investigators allege that the individual brought the carcass to a public sidewalk and began filming himself as part of his online content. Reports described how the man allegedly cut into the hog before biting into the flesh, all while recording the encounter. The scene reportedly alarmed a passerby who believed she had witnessed someone mutilating a dog, and she called the authorities.

When officers arrived, they relied on details about a vehicle seen leaving the area and used a license plate reader system to help identify a suspect.

A man in southeastern Ohio was arrested at the beginning of December after an alleged mishap during a banking transaction resulted in his being accused of sending methamphetamine through a drive-thru tube.

According to reports, on December 3, an individual in a truck pulled up to a drive-thru at a bank in Woodsfield. The driver, described as a 46-year-old local man, loaded the air tube and sent it through to the teller. When it was received and opened, bank employees alleged that the tube contained more than just the items needed for his transaction. It was reported as being a small plastic bag with something inside that looked like a narcotic substance.

A food delivery driver in upstate New York is facing felony charges after reportedly recording and posting a video of a customer who was partially unclothed and apparently unable to wake up.

The situation began during what was believed to be a routine food-delivery assignment. The worker later posted online and expressed that when she arrived at the customer’s residence, the front door was open, and the customer was lying partly nude on a couch in clear view from outside the home. She said she recorded the scene from the doorway or porch area. She then uploaded the footage to her social-media account, where it quickly spread and drew widespread attention.

In the days following the incident, the worker reported that the encounter included sexual misconduct directed at her. She also insisted that she never entered the residence and that she had evidence showing that the door had been open before she arrived, although she had not released that proof. She additionally reported that her delivery-platform account was deactivated after the video circulated, leaving her without the job she relied on for income.

A Texas corrections officer lost his job and is facing charges for allegedly bringing contraband, in the form of chicken wings, into the facility for an inmate who reportedly paid him for the alleged transaction.

According to reports, a 25-year-old man, who began working last summer as a corrections officer at the Travis County Correctional Complex in Austin, recently became embroiled in a situation involving an inmate who was housed in the facility. The inmate allegedly proposed a deal where the officer would be paid if he agreed to bring him chicken wings from Wingstop, and it was believed that the officer reportedly agreed to the terms. Correctional facilities are allowed to monitor the telephone communications of certain inmates, and things went awry when a Security Threat Intelligence Unit officer was listening in on a call that the inmate made to a family member.

It was reported that during the chat, the inmate shared the alleged plan to satisfy his craving for wings. He reportedly said he convinced an officer to get them for him by sending him $50.00 on CashApp. The authorities began investigating the situation, and they watched surveillance video that showed a food delivery driver dropping off a bag of chicken wings at the facility.

According to reports, early in the morning on August 28, seventeen vehicles in the MSU freshman parking lot were damaged, and it was presumed that the destruction was caused by an individual.

A teaching assistant at a high school in South Carolina was arrested after he was accused of tainting the air in the building, causing students and staff to feel ill and damaging the air conditioning system.

While it is not uncommon for kids to say “school stinks” in a metaphorical context to express their displeasure, at the end of August, West Florence High School in Florence experienced a situation involving a literal interpretation of the phrase. It was reported that on the last Monday in August, a noxious smell began permeating throughout the corridors and classrooms. The odor did not dissipate, and several students and employees reported that they started feeling sick. In an attempt to determine the cause of the issue, the air conditioning system was inspected by professionals, but they did not believe it was the source of the odor.

A middle school teacher in Louisiana was arrested after a K9 reportedly sniffed out what was believed to be narcotics in her belongings during a random drug check on campus.

Random drug checks have become increasingly common on some middle school and high school campuses. During these unscheduled checks, K9s often walk around the inside of the building and on the grounds, in addition to inspecting lockers and backpacks. On September 16, the authorities performed a check at Westdale Middle School in Baton Rouge, and a 47-year-old math intervention teacher was implicated in multiple drug offenses during the drug-dog sweep.

According to reports, the K9 reacted when interacting with her bag, and when her wallet was checked, the police reportedly retrieved a small amount of a white, powdery substance that they surmised was cocaine. When they tested it, they reported positive results. The woman talked to the police about the situation without an attorney present, and she told them it was not hers. Officers searched her vehicle, and they reported that they discovered a bag in the glove compartment.
