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.

The authorities were notified, and during their investigation, the Florence County Sheriff’s Office learned that the malodorous situation started on August 25 and continued until September 19. When trying to pinpoint the culprit, they were led to a 32-year-old teaching assistant. They believed the man ordered fart spray online and had been spraying it inside the school with enough regularity to cause it to linger.

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. When they checked the contents, they allegedly found half a gram of marijuana, .8 gram of cocaine, and paraphernalia.

A Florida man believed to have called 911 at least 45 times in six months was arrested for allegedly making a false bomb threat and assaulting the responding police officers.

On September 11, a man in Melbourne called 911 and reportedly told the dispatcher he planned to use a homemade explosive device to blow up a local causeway. The dispatcher believed they recognized his voice as an individual who had called approximately 45 times in a six month period. The report was still taken seriously, and law enforcement from the City of Melbourne Police headed to the location.

The caller stayed on the phone with the dispatcher, and according to the police report, he claimed he had previously blown up other causeways, had an AK-47 and other guns, and kills for a living. It was additionally noted that he said he was affiliated with a street gang and the mob. When officers got to the location, they reported that they spotted a man sitting on a bench that they had encountered before, and they believed he was the person who called 911. They also noticed an open can of Bud Ice on the bench, and they assumed it belonged to him.

A man in North Carolina may face felony charges after the authorities accused him of being married to three women at the same time.

According to reports, the authorities in Davidson County received information from someone claiming they suspected a man was married to multiple women.  Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division detectives began looking into the situation. They reportedly found that a 60-year-old man had a total of three wives – one in Davidson County, one in Guilford County, and one in Lincoln County. The detectives looked for divorce papers, but they alleged that they did not find any. Since the paperwork was missing, they surmised that the man had wed each woman without first ending the previous marriage.

When the authorities tried to find out why the 60-year-old suspect would engage in such behavior, they reported that their investigation led them to believe that he did it for “financial motivation and personal gain.”

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.

Texas authorities are investigating a man’s citizenship status after a woman allegedly posed as a police officer and reportedly held him at gunpoint because she believed he was an illegal immigrant.

On the evening of August 22, a man was parked close to a home in Kirbyville on a county road. When a woman inside the residence spotted the vehicle, she went outside to see what was up. She reportedly believed the man was on her property, and the woman went up to the car to talk to him. When she first interacted with the man, she allegedly identified herself as a police officer and asked him for his name. She also reportedly asked for his insurance card and the keys to his vehicle. Additionally, the woman, who allegedly believed the man was an illegal immigrant, had him give her his cell phone and used it to call his wife.

According to reports, in an attempt to keep him from fleeing, the woman put her German Shepherd, which she said was a K9 with the sheriff’s department, in his vehicle and said he would be attacked if he tried. Shortly after, sheriff’s deputies arrived and began investigating the woman’s claims, but they were unable to confirm that the man had been on her property.
