Meth found in 8-year-old's Halloween candy
HERCULES, Calif., Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Police in northern California said the contents of a suspicious baggie found in an 8-year-old girl's Halloween candy tested positive for methamphetamine. Investigators in Hercules, located about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco, said the girl's father discovered the baggie while going through her candy and turned it over to police. Police spokeswoman Connie Van Putten said the contents of the baggie tested positive for meth. She said police have not received any similar reports, but parents are being urged to look through their children's candy hauls for anything suspicious. Hercules Police Sgt. Ezra Tafesse said the baggie contained about a tenth of a gram of meth, "enough for felony charges filed for possession of a controlled substance." Police said they do not yet know if the baggie was given to the girl intentionally. Investigators are working to determine which house gave the drugs to the child
Wildlife expert to be 'eaten alive' by snake
Discovery channel says it will air a show in which American explorer and author Paul Rosolie gets eaten alive by an anaconda. The network says Rosolie, 30, of New Jersey, wears a "snake-proof suit" as he enters the belly of the large snake found in the western Amazon. Discovery has already received some criticism for the show, with some concerned about the snake. On Twitter, Rosolie said he "would never hurt a living thing. But you'll have to watch #EatenAlive to find out how it goes down. “He also tweeted, "(People) say snakes only eat prey that is dead. In my experience, they (definitely) eat things alive." In an interview with Monga Bay earlier this year, Rosolie said he started working at an Amazon research station when he was 18 and knew that the jungle was where he belonged. The show, Eaten Alive, is set to air on Discovery next month.
Casket-maker selling calendar of naked women with coffins
A Polish casket company is raising eyebrows with its calendar featuring naked women alongside its products. The 2015 calendar for Lindner features black and white photos of women lying on, sitting on or standing beside coffins. Sometimes, fully dressed men also appear in the pictures. The company is the largest producer of coffins in Poland, making more than 11,000 each month, which are sold throughout Europe. While Lindner has been pairing women with caskets in a company calendar since 2010, the 2014 calendar was the first to feature all the women naked. The company explained the calendar expresses the "perfect harmony between Lindner coffins and natural wood, blue sea, red flowers, green fields and beauty of the female body." In the past, religious groups criticized the company for the calendar, but Lindner officials have argued a coffin is a piece of furniture, not a sacred or religious symbol.
Dumbest Drug Smuggler Ever
NOVEMBER 4--Call her The Bumbling Smuggler. A California woman who had 27 pounds of methamphetamine hidden in her car successfully got through a Customs checkpoint last night, but then mistakenly drove her vehicle into a lot reserved for suspect vehicles to be examined by federal agents. During the ensuing search of Sylvia Mashiah’s car--which had not been ordered--investigators found 17 packages of meth concealed in the 2006 Ford Focus’s rear quarter panels. The 33-year-old Mashiah, seen at right, was alone in her car when she approached the Otay Mesa Port of Entry at 7:45 PM Monday. The border crossing is one of three that connects San Diego with Tijuana, Mexico.As reported in a probable cause statement, Mashiah, a Los Angeles resident, was cleared for entry into the U.S. after a “primary” inspection. However, she “mistakenly drove the vehicle to the secondary lot where Customs and Border Protection Officers inspected the vehicle.”A “secondary” inspection involves a more thorough questioning of the driver, a closer inspection of the vehicle, and a canine review of the auto. The “secondary” inspection is usually ordered due to the suspicions of the agent who first contacted the driver
