An arrest was made after two juveniles in North Carolina discovered pills stashed in their treats from Dairy Queen, and the authorities believed it was their grandfather who tried to drug them.

On August 8, a 66-year-old man took his two granddaughters to get ice cream at the Dairy Queen in Wilmington. They took their order to go, and as they were eating their frozen desserts, it was reported that they noticed something unusual inside that appeared to be pills. Their grandfather stopped at a nearby gas station, and when he spotted an officer from the Wilmington Police Department driving by, he got their attention. The man reported what his granddaughters told him about the ice cream, and he gave them the address of the Dairy Queen they had gone to.

According to a statement from the police department, there were two pills inside each dessert. Initial tests reportedly pointed to them being MDMA (ecstasy) and cocaine. They viewed surveillance video to see if they could identify the person responsible, and the footage reportedly provided them with enough information to believe their grandfather had done it.

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.

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.

A Florida man may face legal consequences after being accused of intentionally timing his sprinkler system so the special needs students boarding and deboarding the school bus near his home would be soaked with water.

According to reports, for the past year, a family with two disabled children, one of whom is in a wheelchair, has had difficulties with their next-door neighbor when they board their school bus. The bus parks in front of their Ocala home, and when the wheelchair ramp is lowered, it reportedly blocks part of the neighbor’s driveway. The 61-year-old man reported being frustrated by the situation. At the beginning of August 2024, it was believed that he used his lawn sprinkler system to retaliate against the annoyance.

Each time the father of the students came out of the house with his kids, they were soaked by the sprinklers, which were allegedly intentionally aimed at the area between the home and the door of the bus. Neighbors reported that they often saw the sprinklers come on when the dad would bring his wheelchair-bound 17-year-old daughter, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, to the bus. The alleged water assault continued as the man escorted his 22-year-old son, who has been diagnosed with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. When they returned from school, the sprinklers reportedly came on again, causing them to get wet a second time.
