A 14-year-old in central Florida who is on probation for theft crimes is facing multiple felony offenses after the authorities reportedly linked him to the thefts of two vehicles.

On the morning of September 14, two people in Lakeland called the Polk County Sheriff’s Office within two hours of each other to report that their vehicles had been stolen. The first caller said she noticed her Kia was missing, and the second believed someone had made off with his Toyota Tacoma. The truck owner also informed the authorities that he might be able to help them locate his vehicle using an app that could track it. When they followed the signal, the truck and car were found parked near each other. Forensic investigators inspected both vehicles and reported that the fingerprints they found led them to a 14-year-old local boy.

When he was located, the teen, who has been on probation since last December for a previous theft offense, was taken into custody. It was reported that he initially did not want to discuss the situation with the investigators, but after showing him what they believed was evidence of his involvement, he talked to them without an attorney present. During the interview, he reportedly said he stole both vehicles. He also reportedly said he parked them both, ditched the keys to the Kia, and left the Tacoma keys in the truck. He is currently accused of several charges, including two felony counts of third-degree grand theft of a motor vehicle, two felony counts of burglary in the third degree, one felony count of third-degree grand theft of a controlled substance, and violation of probation – a second-degree misdemeanor.

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 woman in South Central Indiana was arrested during a traffic stop when the police reportedly discovered she had drugs in her pocket and asserted that she was intoxicated.

Late in the evening on April 24, an officer from the Bedford Police Department pulled over the driver of a Yukon for reportedly violating several traffic laws. It was reported that the vehicle was seen crossing a double yellow line with only the driver’s side tires and then overcorrected, causing her to come close to crashing into a concrete wall. When talking to the driver, she told him she had just gotten off work. The officer believed she was moving and responding slowly, causing him to suspect she might be intoxicated.

The woman was cooperative with the officer, and when she got out of the vehicle, he noted that she dropped the things she was carrying. She also reportedly performed poorly when she took the roadside sobriety tests. An officer searched her, and they retrieved a pouch from her pocket. A total of 72 pills believed to be Alprazolam, almost half of which were only pieces, were allegedly found inside the pouch. The police reported that the woman voluntarily told them that she did not have a prescription for the medication, but that she had taken half a pill earlier that day.

A Connecticut woman was arrested last week after allegedly causing a wreck while driving under the influence with a 2-year-old in her car.

On the morning of February 24, a 35-year-old woman from East Hartford was driving on the Interstate with a 2-year-old in her vehicle. When she reached her exit and entered the ramp, the woman allegedly smashed into the back of another car. The authorities were notified, and state police troopers went to the location. When they arrived and inspected the site, they noted that no injuries were sustained by the people involved, and they believed the crash occurred because the woman failed to leave enough space between her car and the vehicle in front of her.

According to reports, when she talked to the troopers, the woman reportedly said she couldn’t stop fast enough to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The troopers believed she was acting as if she was intoxicated, and she allegedly performed poorly when taking roadside sobriety tests. Her vehicle was searched, and paraphernalia and substances believed to be crack and fentanyl were allegedly found. She reportedly admitted to using drugs before she got behind the wheel.

During the traffic stop of a dad in West Virginia, an officer allegedly found a gun in the vehicle and a 7-ounce bag of methamphetamine in his teenage daughter’s sweatshirt.

On June 9, a man was cruising down the highway in Arlington with his 2 daughters, ages 12 and 14. A deputy from the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office was patrolling the area, and they noticed that the vehicle had dark-tinted windows. They also believed the exhaust was unusually loud, so they performed a traffic stop.

The driver pulled over, and when he first talked to the deputy, he was asked for the usual items, such as proof of registration. When he was unable to give that to the deputy, the vehicle’s status was checked. In addition to having illegal inspection stickers, the authorities discovered the car was reported stolen in Ohio. The man explained he made a deal with the owner and traded his truck for the vehicle. He said he still had to take care of the title change.
