An elementary school teacher is facing charges after allegedly driving to work with a blood-alcohol level over three times the legal limit and failing to stop after reportedly striking a pedestrian.

Just before 7:00 AM on April 16, a 29-year-old woman employed as a special education teacher at Glendover Elementary School in Lexington, Kentucky, got into her vehicle and headed to work. According to reports, she had taken multiple types of medication before getting behind the wheel. During her commute, the woman reportedly struck a pedestrian and continued driving without stopping. The authorities were notified, and the injured pedestrian was rushed to the hospital by emergency medical technicians.

Officers with the Lexington Police Department went to the scene and suspected the incident was a hit-and-run. The authorities utilized footage from surveillance cameras in the surrounding area to learn the offender’s identity. When they pinpointed the vehicle they believed was involved in the incident, they traced it to the school parking lot, where they found the teacher when they arrived. They reported that it seemed like she had been drinking. When asked, the woman reportedly said she drank rum the previous evening, but did not drink that morning.

The mother of an elementary school student is facing charges after reportedly bringing a loaded gun to the campus, in addition to allegedly threatening an LGBTQ+ teacher.

On April 9, an incident at Valley Mills Elementary School in Indianapolis occurred, beginning with a student’s mom walking in and withdrawing her daughter’s enrollment. According to reports, her daughter’s now-former teacher gave students an assignment about flags and referenced a rainbow flag with the words “Be Kind” that was hanging in the classroom. The girl’s mom was reportedly furious about the situation, and when the teacher found out, she said the child did not have to participate. She was still unsatisfied, so she decided to homeschool her daughter for the remainder of the year.

When the woman was in the office, she reportedly became so aggressive that the staff used a silent panic alert system to alert the authorities that they needed help. Officers from the Decatur Township School Police Department showed up to assist, and they reported that they noticed something under the mother’s shirt that made them think she could be carrying a weapon. When they asked her about it, the woman reportedly said she regularly carries her handgun and forgot she had it with her. The officers unloaded the firearm and let her leave the campus.

The parents of a 3-year-old were arrested when the youngster was found on the roof of their residence while they were reportedly passed out after allegedly staying up all night to play video games and smoke marijuana.

According to reports, around 8:00 PM on April 9, the mother and father of two children, ages 3 and 1, checked on the youngsters before relaxing in their Glenville, West Virginia, home for the evening. They reportedly smoked marijuana and decided to play video games, and they ended up staying up all night. At some point, presumably while his parents were asleep, the 3-year-old managed to get out of his room and climb onto the roof of the dwelling. It was not reported how long the child was up there, but late the following morning, the police began receiving calls from people who saw him on the roof.

Just before noon, officers with the Glenville Police Department went to the address, and the youngster was still on the roof. The officers entered the home, but did not immediately find the parents. They reported that the house was dirty and had excrement smeared on the walls, and that they found the 1-year-old, whom they said “smelled of feces and urine.” The police reported that they went into the 3-year-old’s room, which allegedly had a lock on the outside of the door, and saw a broken window. They surmised that the youngster climbed out the window and made his way to the roof. While it was noted that the boy, who also smelled like he had soiled himself, was cold and wet because it was raining outside, there are currently no reports of physical injuries.

A Montana man with sixteen prior convictions for driving while impaired was arrested last week for allegedly getting behind the wheel while intoxicated a seventeenth time.

On the evening of April 12, a 73-year-old man with a female passenger was driving a Toyota Prius through Missoula when an officer from the Missoula Police Department spotted the vehicle and asserted that it had no visible license plates. The officer pulled over the driver, and the man stopped in a nearby parking lot without incident.

When the officer peered into the vehicle, they reported that they noticed a bottle of what appeared to be whisky in the driver’s side door pocket. It was also noted that the officer believed the man, who has been convicted of six prior DUIs and 10 impaired driving charges, was showing several indications of intoxication. It was also reported that the man was driving without a license and insurance, and did not have the title for the Prius with him.

A North Carolina man was arrested for several charges in Florida after he allegedly threw bottles filled with urine at employees when he tried to apply for a job at a molding supply store and was denied an interview.

On the afternoon of April 3, a 51-year-old man went to “Doors, Moulding & More,” a molding supply store in St. Petersburg, in hopes of getting a job.

A Nebraska man wanted on warrants and theft-related crimes was caught by the police and arrested last weekend when he was caught after crashing into a tree while allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

According to reports, Russ’s Grocery Store in Lincoln was recently robbed twice by the same suspect, who was able to escape both times before law enforcement arrived.

A curio shop owner in Central Florida was accused of pushing the limits on what would be considered odd merchandise by allegedly selling human bones on Facebook Marketplace.

Wicked Wonderland is a curio shop in Orange City co-owned by a 52-year-old woman and her business partner. According to reports, in December 2023, the Orange City Police Department received a call from someone who wanted to report the business for allegedly listing and selling what they believed were authentic human bones on Facebook Marketplace. An investigation was opened, and the police checked out the business’s profile page. They reported that they saw multiple posts advertising pieces of human bones for sale, including two small skull fragments, a clavicle, a scapula, a rib, a piece of vertebrae, and a larger chunk of skull.

The police talked to the 53-year-old about the situation, and the woman reportedly said she bought the bones from private sellers and believed the transactions were legal since they were meant for educational purposes. She also reportedly said she was unaware that it was illegal to sell the bone pieces, as she had been doing so for several years. The items in her store were collected by the police and turned over to the medical examiner for further investigation. Some of the bones were believed to be archaeological finds, and some were reported as being from one hundred to over five hundred years old.

A Florida woman is facing multiple charges after allegedly attempting to strike her ex-husband’s new girlfriend with her car after she spotted them walking across a highway together.

On April 10, a man and his girlfriend were heading to a party in Auburndale on foot when they crossed the street and stopped by a Circle K to pick up some supplies. When they had what they needed and walked back across the highway, the couple saw a Volkswagen Jetta speeding toward them, and the woman began running away to try to avoid being struck. The driver continued to pursue her and eventually ran into her with the vehicle. Afterward, the driver sped away, leaving the badly injured woman on the ground.

The authorities were called to the location, and deputies from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and rescue workers from the fire department went to the address where the incident occurred. When they arrived, the woman was taken to the hospital for medical treatment. During their initial investigation, the authorities determined that the man’s ex-wife was the driver of the offending vehicle. It was reported that they believed she tried to run over her ex’s new partner because she saw the couple crossing the street when she was driving by, and she became jealous.

A Missouri man is scheduled to appear in court in the middle of May regarding charges stemming from an incident where he reportedly crashed into a convenience store, causing over $3,000 in damage, and drove away before dealing with the situation.

Just before midnight on February 27, the surveillance camera at a Kum & Go gas station convenience store in Springfield recorded a vehicle as it smashed into the side of the building and caused two large glass windows worth an estimated $3,700 to shatter. Right after the incident, the driver of the truck, which was identified as a 2012 Dodge Ram, reportedly backed up and drove away. The employees notified the authorities, and law enforcement from the Springfield Police Department headed to the business to investigate.

About 10 minutes after the accident, and before an officer arrived, the person later believed to be the driver of the truck went back to the Kum & Go and this time entered the store. The man started talking to one of the workers about the situation, but did not mention having anything to do with the incident before he left the premises a second time. Just after midnight, he returned a third time and went into the store. While there, the officer showed up, and before leaving, the man reportedly said he was not involved in the situation. The officer used the surveillance footage to try to identify the suspect, and the video allegedly confirmed that the person he spoke with was the driver of the truck.

Two people were arrested in connection with a criminal case involving an elderly person after the police believed they were abusing and stealing money from the man.

According to reports, last November, an elderly man who was residing in a nursing home and receiving medical care was released into the custody of a 58-year-old man, despite the facility warning that the move would likely cause his health to suffer. Approximately five months later, the authorities were notified about a situation involving possible domestic violence, and the police were sent to the home where the former patient was currently residing. When they arrived and approached the residence, they reported that a man and woman were standing at the front door and yelling at each other. They soon learned that the argument was about the elderly man, who was reportedly found in poor physical health.

When they looked into the situation, the authorities reportedly discovered a record showing that the 58-year-old had taken more than $40,000 from the alleged victim’s bank accounts. They suspected he had stolen the money and that the woman was also involved in the situation.
