Woman Gets 4 Speeding Tickets In One Day

The 49-year-old woman who received no fewer than four speeding tickets last week after flying down on I-90 as fast as 112 mph has been identified.

Loretta Lacy, of Sioux Falls, S.D., was heading to Racine, Wis. and trying to make it in time for her granddaughter’s formal dance that evening.

Lacy was first stopped in Martin County at 2:25 p.m. after authorities received multiple complaints of her speeding, and weaving in and out of traffic. She was ticketed for speeding (she passed the trooper at 112 mph), no insurance and possession of marijuana.

Just 20 miles later, though she did slow down to 99 mph, she was again ticketed for speeding and no proof of insurance. At this point, Minnesota and Wisconsin State Patrols were advised, and on the lookout.

About 70 minutes later, Lacy was ticketed traveling at 88 mph in Freeborn County for speeding and no insurance.

The fourth and final ticket came before she entered Wisconsin, as she was going 88 mph in a 70 mph zone.

State Patrol Lieutenant Eric Roeske said all of her offenses are petty misdemeanors, so jailing Lacy wasn’t an option.

Mail carrier poisoned husband’s tuna fish sandwich, tried to kill him

BARTOW, Fla. -
A Central Florida mail carrier was arrested on attempted murder charges after she tried to poison her husband’s tuna fish sandwich, according to deputies.

Beth Dickison Richards, 37, of Lake Wales, was arrested Friday on charges of attempted first-degree murder, poisoning food with the intent to kill, possession of cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to Richards’ home Thursday night in connection with a poisoning case. Deputies said they met with Richards’ husband, Gregory Lawrence Richards, and her step-sister, Jessica Jarvis.

Jarvis said Beth Richards told her earlier in the day that she tried to poison and kill Gregory Richards by crushing up multiple Trazodone pills and placing them in a tuna fish sandwich.

Jarvis said she she immediately contacted Gregory Richards’ family to verify his well-being, according to deputies.

Gregory Richards told deputies he had eaten part of the sandwich earlier in the day and felt nauseous. He was taken to Lake Wales Medical Center, where he was treated for nausea and dizziness.

According to the National Institutes of Health, Trazodone is used to treat depression and increases the amount of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance.

When detectives confronted Beth Richards about the incident, she admitted that she attempted to poison her husband by crushing up the pills and putting them in a tuna fish sandwich. A motive for the incident was not released by deputies.

During the investigation, a pouch containing cannabis was discovered in Beth Richards’ bedroom, deputies said.

Richards told detectives she is employed by the U.S. Postal Service as a mail carrier.

Skateboarders riot when turned away from theater for debut of ‘Bake and Destroy’ in Hollywood

Skateboarders riot when turned away from theater for debut of ‘Bake and Destroy’ in Hollywood

What a wonderful world we live in. A place where militant skateboarders behave like the selfish little creeps that their parents raised them to be all because they can’t see a movie because the theater had reached capacity.

I wonder what would happen if someone took their weed from them.

The mob of skateboarders and skate fans who ran amok through Hollywood on Saturday night, captured on a YouTube video by a driver caught in the middle of the mayhem, garnered national attention just as it attracted a swift crackdown by riot police.

Skaters were seen vandalizing businesses and throwing bottles, while bystanders are seen running — resulting in the deployment of more than 100 Los Angeles police officers in riot gear.

The incident began before 9 p.m. as about 1,500 skaters and skate fans showed up to a theater that only holds 600 people to watch a free premiere of “Bake and Destroy.”

Those reportedly turned away reacted in violence, police said.

“I just saw everyone in the street going crazy,” said a witness, Huckleberry Hamill.

The door, along with window displays, were destroyed.

The caretaker of the Vine Theatre that hosted the event refused to talk to an NBC4 reporter.

Jay Mok, the owner of Hollywood Tattoo, which is next door to the theater, said he hid inside his shop while vandals etched his car with the letter A for anarchy.

Mok said this is not the first time a melee has broken out at the theater. He said a few years ago, skateboarders got into it outside the theater.

“It happened a few years back, a few times,” Mok said. “They didn’t get into a riot, but … out of control.”

Police dispersed about 500 skateboarding fans in less than three hours. No injuries were reported. There were early reports that one person was arrested for failing to disperse, police said, but details were not immediately available.

Los Angeles police Sgt. Raul Jovel said several people threw rocks and bottles at officers during the clash. At least two cars were also damaged.

Tool shoots off his tool in Port St. Lucie Florida


Michael Smeriglio accidentally shoots off his penis and testicle

PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida — A teenager is recovering after
police say he shot himself in the penis and testicle while cleaning a gun he just bought.

It happened Thursday morning at a home on the 200 block of Verada Street in Port St. Lucie.

Police say 18-year-old Michael Smeriglio first lied to police saying someone shot him while he was walking down the street. After being questioned by police he admitted to accidentally doing it himself.

Doctors say the bullet went through his penis, his left testicle and then lodged itself in his thigh.

Smeriglio told police he bought the gun last month at a party.

While police were investigating at the home where it happened, they discovered marijuana in the house. That led to
the arrest of the homeowner Joseph Lamar James, 22, on drug charges.

Verbal Xbox exchange leads to stabbing in Oakley CA.

Check out the jugs on this guy! 20 year old Kevin Kemp has a bigger set than most women. Perhaps now would be a good time to get of the couch and hit the gym there Kevin. I wonder if he ever gets tired of hearing life go by outside in the real world. J

An online fight led to an in-person attack for a young man in Oakley, and he ended up with nearly two dozen stab wounds.

This stabbing all started with a conversation on an Xbox Live headset that allegedly set a 17-year-old off, not with a joystick, but with a real knife and gun.

Kevin Kemp, 20, didn’t mind showing the scars from his battle Monday. There are 22 stab wounds now stitched back up.

That was the end result of what started as an exchange with a family friend online.

“We were just talking over headsets,” Kemp said.

But this was no virtual violence. Their Xbox banter turned bitter. Kemp says the anger had nothing to do with a game. It was a continued feud with his friend that inflamed.

“I’m like, ‘Bro, if want to do this, come over to my house and we’ll do this right now,’” Kemp said.

That friend left the headset behind, then suddenly entered Kemp’s front door. He reportedly pushed his way past Kemp’s mom, knife and gun in hand.

“Walks up to my room and he points the gun right at me and takes out the clip and shows his bullet, puts it back in the gun, tries to shoot me and he shot it and it went right past my head,” Kemp said. “Almost hit me.”

After the gunshot, the knife attack. Then came the paramedics.

“We were standing out here when they carried him out,” neighbor Dylan Fulkerson said. “He was covered in blood, he was on the stretcher and what not.”

Kemp will be OK, but his friendship is likely finished.

Police are calling it a first.

“It’s kind of unusual in that regard,” said Jimmy Lee of the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department. “Haven’t heard of something happening online, whether it was playing games or chatting, that led to an attack like this.

An escalating Xbox exchange with no reset button for this real-life run-in. Now it could be game over for the teen who went on the attack.

He’s facing one charge of burglary and two counts of attempted murder and the DA’s office said he will be charged as an adult.
